It's been quite a month for FAANG stocks. In October, each member of the popular group that includes Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google/Alphabet reported quarterly earnings.

The five tech giants are closely watched by Wall Street analysts and retail investors alike because of their wide-reaching influence in society as well as their weight in the market. Including Microsoft - another heavy-hitting tech company - the group of six makes up roughly 18% of the S&P 500's total market capitalization, according to Yardeni Research.

Recent gains around solid quarterly earnings from some of the FAANG stocks plus Microsoft contributed to the S&P 500's recent all time high. The popular group of technology stocks returned to a new high last week, driving the overall market to a record, according to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research.

"Altogether, the FAANGM index is up about 33%" year-to-date, Yardeni wrote in a note to clients Thursday.
