I'm guessing "Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google" but with a "_" for some reason

Why is Netflix still included? They should be kicked out, I haven’t heard anything tech about the, for years now.

Then we can go with Meta Apple Google Amazon, or MAGA for short. Ok, not a good look that one.

_ is for Alphabet

  • then why not MAAANG?. Much better acronym, but then I just say big N.

    • We can still call Alphabet Google, just like everyone calls X Twitter. Clunky rebrands don't have to be accepted by everyone.

      Edit: Personally I'm in favor of sorting by present market cap, so it's MANGAM.

    • Even better, why don’t we just get rid of the unwieldy acronyms altogether and simply refer to them as “major tech companies”? It’s clearer and avoids the constant reshuffling every time the market shifts.
