Amazon, Alphabet, Meta. Who are the F and G, and where is apple?
2 comments

You know, Meta and Alphabet which every one outside of their respective CEOs still call Facebook and Google.

And by saying FAAMG instead of FAANG I make the statement that Cramer was high as a kite when he put Netflix in there instead of Microsoft. Today you might make a case for an N, but not at Microsoft's expense.

Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google
While I hate using the stupid "meta" name, MAGMA is a much more fun acronym than FAAMG, or GMFAA, or MAGAF, etc.
It's cornier and yet still technically incorrect by not using Alphabet. And MAMAA is even cornier without putting in another vowel; arguably Nvidia's N but I feel like it doesn't quite belong. So I stand by my FAAMG, it sounds right, and everyone uses Facebook and Google rather than Meta and Alphabet anyway.
Meta Apple Microsoft Alphabet Amazon
