These Are The Top 20 Companies By Market Cap Over The Past Decade
There are many observations to be made about the dramatic shifts shown in the chart below which demonstrates the top 20 companies by market cap over the past decade, but what, to us, stands out the most are two things:
- after a decade of being either the world's biggest or second largest market capitalized company, Exxon has tumbled to 5th spot, something it did not do even during the peak of the financial crisis; and
- after five years of being in the top spot, it is time for someone to finally dethrone the world's most popular smartphone maker.

How many of these companies feed of the government teat, or are fronts for the NSA? Maybe a couple aren't. E.g., Toyota and JnJ.
Yup. feasting at or supplicants and enablers to the governmental teat.
Welfare is not for the poor... it all winds up in nomenclature or corporate pockets
Apple = sheeple
How many american companies from this list work for the benefit of american people?
When Facebook pops up at #7 in 2015, I say tech bubble.
Alphabet Inc* appeared out of nowhere in 2010 to take #10 spot in capitalisation - just in time for the shit to hit the fan in Syria. Just one of those amazing coincidences.
* How amazing - it is related to your local friendly snoops, Page and Brin.
Any connection between their ranking and how much of their own stock they've bought?.. with borrowed money?
The CEO of jnj was one of the architects of the ACA.
Big banks, financing big corporations, who eat little companies.
Big banks, financing LBO's of worthless companies, making no profits.
Big banks, financing stock buybacks of large corporations, to prop up over inflated stock prices, of large corporations losing money.
Yup. Got it.
Notice any "beta" similarities?
An Downtrod, P.O.S. group of dysfunctional gypsies... Same as it ever was!

Merry Christmas
RWZ
NYMEX Crude or USS Providence?
Amazon will be the biggest !
Apple....and it's gone. Apple share buyback program to implode in a cascading fall from lofty heights. I can't imagine Google surviving the future either.
Huh? BHP showing up twice in 2011.
oops
nice spot! must because there is only 19 stocks that year with any positive ballance?
Yikes
Berkshire doesn't do anything but own other companies. Thas fuched upped.
We don't need no stinkin oil...all we do is move electrons...that is in fact what most of those companies do...and nothing more. Very few do actual production. All the money is in the thinking and the selling. No money in the makin or the bacon.
FIRE economy bitch! We don't need no stinken Middle Class jobs.
It would do my heart a world of good to see, at a minimum, General Electric and Berkshire Hathaway not just drop off this list, but declare bankruptcy.
Unlike AMZN, AAPL actually makes $$$$. Real Dividends.
AAPL has a PE ratio of 11.79; AMZN's is 947.69.
AMZN has been in existance for 20 years; and they STILL don't make any $$$.
Talk about screwed up ...
It has been my opinion for a long time the the Federal Goverment coerces the likes of Vanguard and the big banks to buy and hold large positions in Amazon. If there was a catastrophic event in the USA, who would distribute the band aides and aspirin - the US Army Quartermaster Corps.
If AMZN were a private company, its shares would be worth $5.00 - the company has never made money and owns a distribution services network incapable of making money.
Amazon owns a distribution service that its accountants ensure never makes a profit (= tax liability).
Berkshire Hathaway sells "Brawndo".
It has electrolytes.
Walmart just totally fell off the list in 2015.
any jewish run co's on those lists?? seems jewish banks lend to jewish borrowers along with jewish run .gov grants- googlecia,fasebookcia, or is it nsa? anywhay it don't hurt to be a jew on wall st or for getting those start up loans..GE, Disney, now jew run and the inport of hb1's or off shoring is strong with jew run bidniss..jews are at the center of off shoring and open borders, right chucky shumer? except for Israel of course.
I agree with a previous commenter Berkshire Hathaway, and g.e. shouldn't even be on the list, but look at their rise from 2009 on.
it was the feds, "Goebbels move", ge was, and still is govt. media, and warren was the shill.
g.e. was headed south, and warren knew before the ink was dry on his signature it was going to at least be worth triple, same as his $5 bil. dollar loan to b.of a., in 2011.
it's amazing buffet the man warning against derivatives is the largest stockholder of the derivative squid.
g.e. does'nt have to pay it's loan back, it just, has to make sure their stenographers gets the govt. news on the nbc everything air correctly.
Berkshire Hathaway kicking ass.
2005: 18th Place
2015: 3rd Place
They sell a lot of Fruit of the Loom underwear to Walmart (EBT Communitee'), which by the way fell off the chart in 2015..
