Another milestone. Some tiny thoughts:

First US company? Hmmm. I wonder what other companies have done this. Dig, dig, dig. Ah, here’s a list of publicly traded companies, world-wide, by market-cap.

Number 1, by far, is Saudi Aramco, which passed $2 trillion back in December, in its first day of public trading. Interestingly, Saudi Aramco’s market cap today is about $115B. That’s a pretty astonishing fall. Oil biz.

Next up is Apple, followed closely by Microsoft, just a whisker behind.

Will we one day look back on numbers like these as small? Will Apple hit $2 trillion?
