It's been two years since I took the original FANG stocks -- Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) , Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) , Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) , and Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) -- under the knife. I figured that Netflix and Amazon were undeniably rock stars, but I had my doubts about the growth prospects of the other two components.
I figured I'd keep the middle children of the FANG acronym, while adding Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as the new bookend replacements. From that, MANA was born . How did it hold up? Now that we're two years since the original Oct. 9, 2018, surgery, it's a fair point to score the efficacy of MANA as an investment strategy.
