 | Remember the FAANGs?
I try to stay above the hype and focus on the numbers. But even I will admit that “FAANG” had a nice ring to it!
But as an investment theme, it never made a lot of sense. The letters stood for: - Facebook Inc. (now Meta Platforms Inc.) (Nasdaq: FB).
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL).
- Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN).
- Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX)
- Google (now Alphabet Inc.) (Nasdaq: GOOGL).
And this collection of stocks had two things in common: - They were all high-momentum growth stocks for a long stretch of the post-2008 period.
- These names could be assembled into a cool acronym that brought to mind wolves, tigers or any number of intimidating animals.
That’s it.

Chart of the Day Negative yields are one of the mysteries of financial markets. In theory, no one should buy a bond with a yield below zero. If held to maturity, that bond is guaranteed to deliver a loss.
Yet trillions of dollars were invested in negative-yielding government bonds until recently.
There’s speculation the yields once were driven by central banks’ buying. Quantitative easing programs required central banks around the world to buy bonds.
Their goal was to stimulate the economy rather than to earn income.
Today’s chart shows a sudden spike in 10-year German government bonds after two years of negative rates.
Here’s what it means for interest rates and inflation going forward.
