The Stock Market And The FAANGs

as informed in Last Friday, I wrote about "The Future of the Stock Market and the Future of the FAANGs."The FAANGs are, of course, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Alphabet's Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL). However, in the dot-com boom, "Big Tech" was much smaller and was made up of many early stage companies..."But, one cannot ignore the fact that the current stock market is so dependent upon just a small number of very large companies, in terms of market valuations. Jeff Sommer writes in the New York Times about the fact that "The American stock market has been shrinking. Much of "research and development" happens in smaller companies, sometimes helped out by the larger companies, and then, when success is imminent, the "larger" companies swallow the "smaller" companies. This is the "new" financial market for the "new" Modern Corpiration.

I mean the stock market was booming, it reached the high in November 2007 before the housing crisis started to kick in.
