FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google)

Entry in progress—B.P.

“FANTA” is a similar acronym that stands for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Tesla and Alphabet. “NOSH” stands for Nike, O’Reilly, Starbucks and Home Depot. “MAGS” stands for Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Salesforce. The ‘Nifty Nine” includes FANG, plus Priceline, Ebay, Starbucks, Microsoft and Salesforce.

“MAGA” (Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon) is similar to the “MAGA” slogan popularized by Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign, “Make America Great Again.”

While a handful of mega-cap technology stocks have dominated the news this year, potentially better opportunities are being missed among software stocks.

The abbreviation for the news-dominating stocks, FAANG, represents Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google.
