Better Buy: Facebook Inc vs. Google
It's hard to imagine, but just over twenty years ago neither Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) nor Google -- now Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) -- existed. Combined, these behemoths are worth over $1.2 trillion. That's more than the GDP of all but 14 countries in the world -- a truly staggering figure.
In less than a generation, they have gone from nothing to being two of the most important companies in the world. Much of the information we get and the virtual interactions we have with friends now flow through Google and Facebook, respectively.
