> FAANG was created by the TV personality Jim Cramer to talk about high growth tech stocks. At the time Netflix was doubling every year. It was based purely on finance.

That, and FAAG had less of a ring to it.

Edit: Dammit, the GP made the same observation. Oh well, I'm keeping it.

If Netflix hadn't been such high growth and not included, Cramer probably would have gone with GAAF. :)
