Dumb question I’m too lazy to effectively google: what is FANG? (Assuming we’re not talking vampires)


Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google. It's a shorthand for high growth tech stocks. It is also sometimes abbreviated FAANG to include Apple, and sometimes it will include Microsoft.

It's best, IMO, to think of it as the BIG10 NCAA division, the name only represents a subset of its membership.


Big 6 wouldn't be a bad name for this group, most people would probably know who you're talking about. Unless people are going for some sort of double-entendre with the name FANG.


Seems reasonable. All the big oil companies used to be called “the 7 sisters” (before mergers) and then back in the 70’s for accounting it was “the big 8”.


Friendster, AOL, Napster, GoDaddy
