The second round of Fast Money Madness has ended and only the strong have survived. These are the Sweet 16.
As you may know, we’ve ranked stocks in the S&P 500 by four major industries. In the first round of play we eliminated half of the competitors.

And some of the rivalries may be telling. For example:
GE (11) beat Caterpillar (3) in an upset victory with only 50.1% of the vote. Now the conglomerate faces Ford (10) in round 3.
Disney (12) triumphed over Home Depot (4) with only 50.1% of the vote and now the Mouse House faces Walmart (1) in round 3.
Other match-ups also look interesting. For example:
McDonald's (14) Vs. Amazon (7)
Apple (2) Vs. Cisco (3)
How will it play out? You decide. Text the word MADNESS to 26221 to start playing (message and data rates may apply).
