I am trying to resist leaps on FANG but my spirit is weak
my play is: PR, EQT, DVN, and FANG. EQT is purely natural gas, the others are just oil oil oil e.g. upstream extreme exposure to the long term price of oil. Mid sized means risk reward.
Nice YTD slow and steady uphill run on EPD. I hold FANG, UUUU and EQT but I'll keep an eye on this one. Thanks.
Haven't touched options in a while but calls on FANG are trying to seduce me
The market keeps shrugging off every stupid decision FANG, Ai, Trump, and world conflicts throw at it for the past 2 years and you bet against the market? While we’re keeping interest rates fixed? You truly are regarded.
You're right, I should have done tldr. Basically yes, the U.S. and Canadian oil producers. I mentioned four in my post, EOG, SM, FANG, DVN, but the really big players will be worthwhile too, XOM, COP. We saw this in the 1970s. Even as the rest of the market goes to hell, these guys will be raining money.
FANG is a good oil stock because it didn’t go down today.
Calls: EQNR, FANG, XLE Puts: EEM, VXUS, HYG Stop stop stop buying msft calls and the like for the love of god.
I had RIO also on the list. Along with FANG, NTR, FRO, DHT. I could probably risk it and still try but I'm more mad I pinpointed a few good ones and held back when I should have trusted my gut
Does the Dubai airport have any effect on FANG revenue? If not, calls.
If they got hired by FANG in the first place, another job won’t be hard to find. And many of them might not even have a mortgage coz they got paid well.
Dropping everything except CRAK, FANG and PR.
I bought a bunch of FANG around when oil went negative because they were the lowest cost US producer. It’s 9x since then. US producers were free money during Covid especially if you bought the ones that had the ability to withstand the lockdowns and oil crash
I own FANG, REPX, VNOM
We export most of our oil (shale makes gasoline. Its light.) Europe and India and China need the heavy oil, which we get most from Canadian Tar Sands, and Venezuela i guess.. the US and Canadian prosucers are ripe for short term market domination. CTRA/DVN FANG PR CVX XOM
I'm thinking FANG might get a bump because I believe their oil operations are prinarily in West Texas
Companies like FANG and OXY are producing the vast majority of their oil in the Permian basin. They do not have to worry about any of those other factors but their stocks are still down.
Yeah? And compare that to putting 20k in FANG from 2010-present.
The demand for 10% otm options before FANG ER week Q3 2025 raised those contacts higher than puts or atm options. And those holding thru er not long dated get IV crush plus that extra retail call demand. Basically buying a NVDA March 20th call 10% otm now before their ER. Since the event is coming volatility is going up so even with 0 move (a 0 DTE went up eveb thigh spy was $3 off the low of the day) calls ans puts both gold up in value into a higher IV. If you judge the options otm to be worth it you were paying more for the gamble to make less.
I know them in real life, actual friends that I grew up with. One guy was selling anything out of the trunk of his car in high school now owns over 200 rentals, a restaurant, a small grocery store and just started a bakery with distribution to local groceries multi millionaire. Another guy works at a FANG company moved up the chain very high up salary unheard of for many of us that grew up with him, many other examples I don’t feel like sharing and doxxing myself. I myself have also done well and in a position I never thought possible financially speaking growing up.
That’s an absolute insane policy. Are you 100% sure? Your picks are good companies but what matters most is the price you pay. I like to purchase stocks depending on what the market gives me. If a stock is down substantially, it’s a great companies with growing revenues, I now have a new position. Right now, I think all these stocks are basically at all time highs. I wouldn’t purchase now, price too expensive considering. At the current moment, I like Energy/Oil. Personally I’m invested in FANG, SLB, CEG & XLE Enterprise software has taken a huge hit. I like CRM, NOW. SPGI is a good choice now if you like moats. Why no tech?
NFLX better start cooking the numbers Donny style or FANG gonna become...
Get out of FANG. They all said they going to sacrifice their profits to pump other stocks
All FANG said they going to direct their money towards AI infrastructure and software. So that's why they lagging.
FANG sticks are only up 2.8% this last year... Yeah maybe index is fine-ish but lots of big cap tech is getting railed for longer than a day.
I worked for Google, and I've consulted with FANG for about 20 years. Your assumptions on company size are also incorrect. As I said, we've been working offshore for decades. Best of luck.
How much actual programing or coding are engineers still doing today at FANG companies? I would assume if you havent been laid off yet as a SWE or developer you are using AI to code and you are “proof reading” code
"EQT" - did you mean EWT ? CHPS has probably the closest. It has Tokyo Electronics but is more a memory heavy play, with the large SKHynix and Micron holdings. something I don't like or need. AIS : it had Nvidia and Vertiv, so more an datacenter play. Not exactly what I am looking for. CHAT is too FANG heavy. The one gap I see in etfs , is they add too much US companies in the mix. If I want a US company, I would just buy it directly or use a US company mix etf. There aren't any etfs, that just have non-US listed AI centric focus ( be in non-us memory or as I am looking for non-us chip packaging companies.). These are places of next high growth imho and it's very hard to invest in them for US investors. ETFs are still being made for novice investors. At least some have to specialize in providing access to more sophisticated investors, for non-US listed stock themes.
This has nothing to do with FANG.
I think there is a correlation here between holders of BTC, silver/gold and FANG - once the margin calls go on one they all drop
FANG Diamondback Midstream if you’re willing to work with volatility. They have the highest profit margin in the Permian Basin and own 1/3 of Deep Blue which is slowly working on their water monopoly. Fracking takes a lot of water. The also do a Green, Yellow, Red light approach where if there stock price plummets they start aggressively buying back their stock. This causes them to slingshot back up when the sector recovers
FANG, Diamondback Energy.
I mean, it’s a work in progress. I was 23 when I started. I’m now 40. Things have changed drastically. But what I can offer is what I did. I skipped classes and watched Steve Nisons candlestick course. It’s extremely boring and dry but it’s great information. Then I started swing trades small caps under $20. I used the alligator indicator “bill williams I believe? It’s 3 moving averages” and did that for a bit until I discovered options. I was very fortunate back then to have such a giant bull run. PCLN made me a millionaire a few times. Same with most of the MAG 7 now but it was FANG back then (FB, AAPL, NFLX, GOOG) and the became FAANG when AMZN got added. I’ve been doing this on those names for 15 years now.
Check out Mako Mining Corp. They are backed by Wexford Capital, same equity sponsor of Diamondback Energy, Inc. (FANG), and have very promising plans for the next couple years. Great operational performance, solid FCF yield and no debt as of Q4 2025. Super under the radar, perhaps a bit on the riskier side but definitely tons of upside if they manage to succeed in their prospects.
Remember when NFLX was part of a group of stocks called FANG? Good ol' days.
They might be excellent cars, but one is literally called Dong Fang… A DONG WITH A FANG! I would call that weird 😂
Why do we still call it FANG when FB > META? Long MANG
There’s worse but yeah amongst FANG and Mag7 he’s maybe the worst; I’d still consider Musk worse in terms of actual actions and decision making but he has a cult around him which keeps his stocks up.
As someone who has worked at a FANG and works at small enterprise, it's interesting always hearing the vibe code stuff. Like job you work at that level has on calls and the need for people to be able to debug and fix things. I think having copilot is helpful when writing code, but it also kind of shuts your brains off. Having it on github is nice to help summarize PRs, but I don't see vibe coding working at larger levels.
OXY (Occidental Petroleum) and FANG (Diamondback Energy) are two of the largest independent U.S. oil and gas producers. They could benefit from higher oil prices and don’t have assets at risk.
You can say the same shit about FANG for the last 15 years. It’s all about whether you have the testicular fortitude to bet big.
It’s gonna be home to FANG as the empire falls
Dumb question: if they only work with one FANG data center, do you need massive yields to be successful? Why can’t they work with a few data centers and over time slowly? As example, you can 10x the speed and processing power of our east coast data centers that may be enough… to b successful!
I don’t get what the complaint is. Go look at a ten year chart of FANG. Massive gains an available to retail in hindsight. At the time I remember many people saying tech was over valued then and the money had already been made. Also you’re missing all the VC failures. For each OpenAI or SpaceX there are ten companies you never will hear of that incinerated billions in private investment dollars.
Disclaimer: I work for a competitor, but my portfolio is more than 25% META, and I do not even have a FB/IG account. My rationale is that, unlike with some other Mag 7, the founder is still involved, aggressive, and heavily invested. He won't get everything right, but he can pivot (and has pivoted) very quickly and (more importantly) without excessive internal backlash. In a time of extreme uncertainty and rapid changes, it's a crucial survival skill that other companies do not necessarily have (it took Google years to catch up to OpenAI's ChatGPT, a technology that was essentially invented at Google and that Google owned years before OpenAI). In the Bay Area, Meta has been leading the changes, including being the first FANG to aggressively lay off post COVID. \> They might even be the company that doesn't make it through the AI bubble. Purely AI companies are likely the ones at risk of not making it; companies with "AI solutions" looking for a problem to solve. Meta has an independent business that heavily leverages AI without (for now) selling it directly. In fact, if Meta can successfully curb the AI slop/bots, I would make the case that social interactions with real humans could increase in popularity. I see lots of questions on Reddit that could be easily answered with a search, and when I ask why the poster didn't do that, a common answer is about the value of human interaction.
RCAT It doesn’t have the love it deserves but it will start crunching numbers. Military budget for small drones goes in 2026 to 700M from 70M they had in 2025. RCAT was the favourite drone provider of the army winning the SRR contract (40M) Now they enter into mass production with Black Widow and the revenue could go above 100-150M for 2026. Then, in relation to kamikaze drones, they have the FANG which is on the Blue UAS cleared list, and soon it will start the drone dominance program which ensures a really good inflow of cash, once they get into this, they will ensure 42M for 2026 and 100M revenue in 2027. Also, they start production in Q1 2026 with their water line with Blue OPs, these are vessels of different sizes for ocean missions, they can attach misiles, torpedos, release drones or kamikaze ones. These are based on the Magura, the most famous water drone used in Ukraine. They expect to sign something with the US Navy which have a 2 billion budget for 2026. So they could eat a little piece of cake easily, their vessel has won the REMUS 2025 competition in Europe. Finally, I would talk about the Trychon (ex Edge130) but this one is still under development as they need to reinforce the hull (too weak for the US army). However, there were recently news about testing by the Australian Navy… So we could have some surprises next year. Right now the stock sitting on 8,10$ which is a very good opportunity. If all goes as well as it promises… we could see the stock around 50$ by the end of the year… that’s a +517% You do your maths, you do your DD….but I recommend not to miss this opportunity

I dont have the skills like you do .... thus , when a FANG stock dropped 30% , I simply buy & hold BUY again , if it drops to 40% And keep DCA.
That’s fair as to how it got there, but they still win the “which one of these is not like the other” test. I still remember the days of the original FANG index where The N was Netflix.
Times change, Have a more busy role in FANG, work 12hrs a day, got married, kids. If u want I can give u my machine for free. Gaming life is almost nil for me. 10yra back was a diff thing. Yea I hokd over 6000 PLTR as well, Bitcoin and portfolio over $4M. But house in Cali itself is $2M so not lot of money. Have friends in Nvidia with 10-15M portfolio, I am nowhere nearby. Folks can hate me as much as they want, it doesnt change anything. Money is not made by timing the market, when will kids learn this.
“I’ll bet against the only FANG company not sucking ass lately”
Goodbye MAG7 welcome back FANG
Two weakness I see in this strategy, no mention of what range the sold options are (OTM, ATM, ITM?), no mention of net Vega. 1 - ATM has the highest extrinsic & near dated has highest Theta, 2 - Vega can wipe you out if you're buying META at this dip, where IV is relatively high right now for the whole tech/MAG7/FANG sector. Meta's IV is roughly 30% higher than it's usual low point between earnings, the higher Vega of the 30 day long option could crush if news/sentiment in tech turns optimistic.
Yeah I was optimistic at first when I read LYB's call, but then I though about it more and decided I'm not going to time the cycle. It has been probably the worst cyclic downturn in the chemical industry, especially commodity chemicals. Both companies absolutely need to eliminate them. It would make complete sense for cash preservation, and honestly once they get better view they can reinstitute it albeit at lower payout. I would think for these cyclic companies they should have a conservative dividend and then each quarter have a variable dividend based on previous quarter FCF and outlook. I think FANG does this and it work really well for a capital heavy business.
I sold my first covered call in a FANG stock I had owned for over 20 years. I got so scared it would be called away, so I closed it at a small loss. I have done it a few times with better results.
it's easy to forget. 10% swings in btc eth are like 4% swings in FANG or MAG 7.
It's little wonder why between my FANG stock holdings...Apple is lagging by a significant margin. The shit is $150 or $230...the days of actual innovation at Apple died years ago...this is just more proof of that.
Lol you’re the one with a poor understanding of law if you think the problem is that lawyers can’t write prompts properly. Law firms literally take in billions in revenue a year, you don’t think they can pay someone to teach it? Second point, lawyers are one of the smartest people who have to learn both the law and how businesses operate and even how the underlying intellectual property works. Comp sci you just learn code lol. I have plenty of comp sci friends in FANG, it’s not that complex for AI to take their jobs. They all think it will happen in the future. Finally, lawyers are literally trained and it’s in their fundamental skills to learn how to use prompts and search case law that fits their exact factual scenario out of the millions of case law. Lawyers are the next best industry who can draft good prompts after comp sci. You have no idea how law works and want to talk like you do. And your argument is clearly flawed given current AI usage. Lawyers continue to get sanctioned for using AI while comp sci are using it to replace remedial task. Clearly it doesn’t work for law at the moment and won’t for a long time. Meanwhile it’s likely going to replace a lot of junior coders in the near future.
Sweet Jesus. Of ALLLL the stocks to yolo you pick pypl???? wtf 😬. After it failed to break 80$ after the mid news about AI it was an obv short. Then seeing NO pop with the HUGE Nasdaq run the past few days but did get smoked in last week’s drop - what aside from a low pe made you do this ? I’m curious 👀? I could almost guarantee you just a bs FANG trade will do better with 1-100th of the risk in 3-9 months. Dividend is shit and Venmo is keeping it alive. Did someone recommend this?...
Why not just buy FANG etf and buy NBIS but hedge w a IREN shirt/put? Less work. More security and manageable. Apple is a shirt today here. Flight to quality will leave stock tomorrow as bonds open. Mkt rises will happen. Mkt crashes will happen . Win win. 🥇
nnooo it muh heckin capitalism failed birkenstocks in the glorious workers revolution BIRK will be a FANG
At 120$ Nvdia pe w be 35 ish. Not gonna happen when it’s a company whose biggest problem right now is supply not meeting demand. The contracts DONE already guarantee a cash flow that pretty much puts a pe of 40 or better for years. Anything below that level is froth fear and should be bought. There a line in the sand at 146$ that would take a global event bigger than risk off or re pricing. At some point, like Apple , Nvdia with its cash war chest and contracts will be a flight to quality within the sector. Port managers by mandate cannot be all cash. They HAVE to BE vested. Why choose anything but a FANG where pe ‘s are not CRAZY. IF THIS bs happens the likes of PLTR and RDDT/iren w high pe’s and sitting on 500% increases in a few years will be. DECIMATED. I only follow the “road map” I’ve seen trading through Lehman /covid and being a child and following dotcom bubble. With ATH cash on the sidelines and an army of ignorant retail trader being able to buy in a second I don’t foresee a “Lehman” moment without something fundamental like China war or nuclear fallout happening.
What a crappy port bro. Hims? Ferrari ? Snap ? wtf. 😬 I pray this is not your primary. Ever heard of FANG lol.
FANG BOUT TO GET EATEN UP BY THE HUNGRY HUNGRY XOM 165c’s
they are about 10 years behind software-wise, and the only people who can even do the job (Nvidia cuda kernel engineers) have 8 figure salaries if you want to poach them so yea AMD is doomed, the market is just greedy and fomoing like with Rivian and Lucid back during the TSLA days AMD is on a deathmarch but to the layman it looks plausible for success, and that is why it’s so dangerous. Inference is the least desirable and most early to be commoditized market. Every FANG is working on custom silicon for inference, AMD is gonna be debt ridden, low margin, competing for scraps. And even Intel is coming for their main market, and they have infinite money and the blessing of Trump
Of course a bitch ass nigga like you would block when your wrong. Not surprising. & it’s clear you’ve never had a FANG. Amazon absolutely PIP’s the bottom 6-10% And if you think 3000 workers is the bottom 6-10% of Amazons corporate workforce you’re dumber than I thought
The interesting thing is that these acronyms change as the performance changes. Remember it used to be FANG, and then FAANG to include Apple, then MAGA to include Microsoft, and then Mag7. And the N was Netflix instead of Nvidia. They will undoubtedly make a new acronym in a few years depending on the performance.
Is AMZN even a relevant company any more? They really gave up their FANG spot this year
An “ETF” can be in the form of an “ETN”. You can easily find many references on the sponsor’s own websites. The issuers call them ETFs, the prospectus lays out the exact legal structure, which can be ‘40 Act or something else, like an ETN. One example (among many) is Global X’s “FANG ETF.” Their words, not mine. It’s an ETN.
I'm wondering if they are considering a buyout from a larger company like FANG hence the nutso cluster buying last month after acquisition and farmout annoucement.
Mag 7 is a retcon. FANG was Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Apple was only added afterwards because it was doing well, despite it not being an internet company. Then people started grouping big tech stocks with recent good performance. The original FANG since 2013 w/o dividends GOOGL 1256%, Amazon 1752%, Meta 2635% and Netflix 9146%. Apple 1095%. TSLA, NVDA, AMD and AVGO were either mid cap stocks or barely large caps at the time NVDA 53598%, TSLA 14619%, AVGO 10246% and AMD 6059% TSLA and AMD were not profitable and NVDA had half a billion in profits. What I'm getting at is that these groups are made after the winners are known. Mag 7 are yesterday's winners. A 10B company of today to become the next trillion dollar company in 2035 is the one that will make you insanely rich.
M & A reports. EOG, FANG, CVX, XOM, BUI, etc.🚀
I don't get this kind of reasoning. How is its valuation tiny? You have to frame things in terms of earnings and future earnings, concretely. Instead people just say "It's a super popular website not owned by FANG" and conclude literally any price is acceptable, smash that buy button. The shit is already at 100 forward P/E.
What you're missing is that RDDT doesn't need to be an AI play and that's not even the primary value here. RDDT is like a mini meta. Its a huge social media platform with a tiny valuation considering its the number one site not owned by FANG.
I like your plan of doing it on Tech stocks and rebalancing every few months. I came across a portfolio a few weeks ago at PortfoliosLab you might be interested in: [FANG Plus Portfolio](https://portfolioslab.com/portfolio/fang-plus) It's equally-weighted AAPL, META, BIDU, NFLX, GOOGL, AMZN, TSLA, BABA, NVDA, & TCEHY. I've been running it in ToS Paper Money with 100-120DTE 80-delta Calls, and in exactly 3 weeks today it's up 32%. Just insane leverage with 120-day 80-delta Calls. But look at it on the website, they dive really deep into its metrics; especially check out it "risk-adjusted performance rate." But as good as that performance is, I've done better with a 5-ETF portfolio I picked myself. So please take a serious look at ETFs. Go to Barchart and find their ETF screener. De-select the leveraged ones, then add the filter "Has Options." Rank them by past 3-month performance, then look at their charts. Some I'd pick right now have done more than 40% in the past 3 months, and a lot of that momentum will continue. Then leverage them with LEAPS or 120DTE 80-delta Calls and hold onto your britches! You can roll the LEAPS however you like, lots of things work with options, but you might consider keeping them out at the 1y mark, and 80-delta. But if you DO let them degrade in time, then yes closing at 45 days (if not 60 days) is generally recommended.

No one is hiring vibe coders. Its for cheaper labor. The answer is still American regardless. Tons of talent was let go from FANG. You people just hate America
Then yeah it's a great buy and hold option. I don't have it in my wallet but I can see the appeal. You could consider FANG+ ETF instead.
I'd recommend you go with ETFs, because they don't have the single-issue risk of companies. And with the leverage of LEAPS Calls, ETFs can be plenty lucrative. You might use Barchart or similar to sort ETFs with options by 6-month performance. Look at their graphs and see if you think they'll keep going up for a while. But if you still want to do stocks, take a look at this [FANG Plus Portfolio](https://portfolioslab.com/portfolio/fang-plus) I came across 2 weeks ago. I'm trading it in Paper Money with long Calls (just 4 months out), and it's doing quite well. And especially look at its risk numbers, which are very good.
They'll last long term like the previous top 10 stocks mostly lasted. The real churn comes from new disruptive tech, but the incumbents are rarely disrupted themselves, they just go on trucking. I mean, oil stocks were king for a while, they haven't gone away and oil use has still grown in the last 10 years, the FANG stocks rose because they spawned an entire new industry and 10x oil.
Definite puts, profits will flow back into the actual cloud giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google in my opinion. Oracle is popping based off guidance and optimism. FANG stocks already have established ai and cloud infrastructure.
> or investing it into the top 8 companies (Google, Amazon, broadcom etc) Why not the MAG7, or FAANG, or FANG? Chasing top performers isn’t a good investing strategy. Broad market diversification is
I almost can't go on now, I'm so flabbergasted by those TLT results, but you also asked about shorter timeframe long Calls. Yes. Someone here the other week suggested to me that 100-120DTE Calls were generically 'alright,' that I didn't need to go out a whole year. I knew that, because I'd traded pre- and post-split Nvidia with Monthly Calls (and didn't get out fast enough), and had even been doing Monthlies on GLD. But some experiences there led me to a rule I don't often break now: never less than 3 months. (And ALWAYS 80-delta or higher, I've never strayed from that It's definitely a sweet-spot for risk, capital efficiency, and probability of profit.) So when that guy said 100-120 days, I began to embrace that. I have a "5 ETF" portfolio going in Paper Money since Tuesday with 108DTE Calls (and 16-delta shorts), and it did 13.2% in its first week). Also this [FANG Plus portfolio](https://portfolioslab.com/portfolio/fang-plus) I found just last weekend, which has done 6.0% in the same week. (Check out its insanely-good risk numbers.) It's actually surprised me that the stock port underperformed the ETFs. That'll bear watching through coming weeks. So yes, definitely play with 100-120 days for the MUCH better leverage and see what you think. But I'm not overdoing it: if I've got fresh money that needs to go somewhere, then maybe I'm adding it to an already-existing LEAPS Call position. As it decays <100days, probably roll it back out to 80-delta and 120 days (as I currently do with my LEAPS Calls). Hit me back, because this TLT thing is just phenomenal! Take care.
Index investing does really well in sideways or upward markets, when the market starts to crash is when I'd rather be in individual stocks. When you are invested in an index fund, often it may only be a handful of Stocks that really underperform that drag it down, just like it's been the FANG stocks that have really pulled the market up the past few years. In the downturn you can unload individual poorly performing stocks, in an index fund, you just have to suck it up an ride the wave. I find seeking Alpha valuable, but again, I spent at least 1-2 hours daily monitoring my positions and open options ( I only own one or two funds, the rest are individual stock and ETF's) . If you don't have the ability to spend at least that much time monitoring your investments, and index fund probably is the way to go for you.
Thanks. But how would a FANG crash would affect the returns? I'm trying to protect me from an industry crash.
AMZN still taped to the toilet while all the cool FANG kids are partying
Prediction 2PM FANG all red. Tesla shoot to the moon because in the past suppressed by trump
>ignoring the superiority of US., There's plenty of long periods where the US would have ended up behind. >International will never create a FANG. Just a few years ago we saw Australia have the best 100+ year returns. South Africa was also top 3. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/28/australia-the-best-stock-market-since-1900-credit-suisse-says.html Also, FANG are large caps, but factor investing research seems to favor small caps. Clearly a country doesn't need to create a FANG level company to have the best returns. Also, FANG are large caps, but factor investing research seems to favor small caps in the long run. Factor investing starting points: * https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/factor-investing.asp * https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/060_www_fidelity_com/documents/fidelity/fidelity-overview-of-factor-investing.pdf (PDF) * https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-black-hole-of-investing/ * But be aware that factor premiums can take a while to show up: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/1hmbwuw/what_every_longterm_investor_should_know_about/ Different countries over and under perform at different times. Recent history has favored US large caps, however there's plenty of times where market favor is outside the US and/or with smaller caps. A global approach can be beneficial to both returns and volatility in the long run compared to a US only portfolio.
Who cares about a single decade exactly, the international only every outperform once i a while, never in an investors career of 30-40 years, international mean is 5-6%, US mean is 10%. You can do what you want, but adding international ignores many important facts about why US breeds innovation and is superior, you won't find international creating a Magnificent 7 or FANG, not in our lifetime. Listen to bogle and stop thinking VT and chill is the best, 20% max international, that's all you should go for if you want to sleep better at night knowing full well over 30 years you will just get 5-6%.
No this sub just fills people with nonsense that VT is king, VT and chill is betting on international, ignoring the superiority of US., International will never create a FANG. It's a fool's game betting on international what Bogle would say.
This movement screams Fraud but I’m just a simpleton. FANG STOCKS ENGAGE!
Mommy why are we poor? Eat your fries Johnny! Your dad was blowing money on FANG puts as it went to all time highs forever.
I bought all 7 before they became known as the Mag7 and still hold all 7, also had a bunch of netflix from the FANG times but i sold it way too early.
