Meta Question Does FAANG Become Maang or Manga?

My favorite take: https://twitter.com/jspaleta/status/1453798341347708930

"I work for the MAAAN"

MAGMA (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon).

I've never understood why Netflix was equated with the bigger companies. It's market cap is $300B the others (excluding Facebook) are all above $1T, and Facebook/Meta has a chance of breaking the $1T in the next year.

Kick out Netflix. MAGA

Tell your Silicon Valley friends that you work at MAGA

GAMMA—kick out Netflix and put in Microsoft

I say shuffle companies around until it’s BANANA

Naw, I doubt "meta" will take off in the public consciousness. "Facebook" is already too well known.

Anybody else think this renaming will go down in history as right up there with "Inprise"[1]?

Or GNAAM, pronounced like 'nam, the way some Americans refer to the Vietnam war.

If G -> A (for Alphabet), then it's NAAAM

On a serious note, the G in FAANG is for Alphabet.

MAAMAN

- Microsoft Amazon Alphabet Meta Apple Netflix

In Japan we say "GAFA" - Google Amazon Facebook Apple.

Replace Netflix with Microsoft then you either have:

   GAMMA or MAGMA

Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon.

or

Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon.

Both seem to work. But I'd go with GAMMA.

G already became alphabet, no one cared right?

I have no idea why FAANG is still a thing. Of the trillion dollars companies, Meta/FB is no longer one of them. Netflix no idea how they even got part of the league.

Should be ATAMA - Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet.

But really, it will be BTS - Bitcoin, Tesla and SpaceX. The $10T club.

Or just ignore the name change like people did with the Sears tower or miller park

Some people started early on this one in the post with the name change announcement

Kind of a silly question when we're not saying FAANA rather than FAANG.

MAMATA - These Represent the 6 Largest Companies in the S&P 500 By Market Cap

Microsoft - Technology Sector

Apple - Technology Sector

Meta - Communication Services Sector

Alphabet - Communication Services Sector

Tesla - Consumer Cyclical Sector

Amazon - Consumer Cyclical Sector

If we go with MAANG, can I pronounce it like "mange"?

Lets all settle on MAMAA

M - Microsoft ( Technology Sector )

A - Apple ( Technology Sector )

M - Meta ( Communication Services Sector )

A - Alphabet ( Communication Services Sector )

A - Amazon ( Consumer Cyclical Sector )

An ESL speaker once used "FAGMAN".

We chuckled.

Why can’t it be MAGAN? Pronounce it as like the name “Megan” and maybe we can get more girls into stem?

The only way to find out is to consult the world wide WEEB

In that case Google would be replaced by Alphabet no?

MMAGA. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Google, Apple.
