4 companies currently have trillion dollar valuations. Less than 2 years ago, Apple was the first trillion dollar company. Microsoft, Amazon and Google are also in the list. Facebook and a few other companies are mentioned as the next potential trillion dollar company, but they all have a ways to go. It will be interesting to see how all these companies stocks performs in the future.

I think I own some US Government trillion dollar stock shares.

That is a great way to think about government bonds.

Curiously UK govt bonds, probably the second govt bonds of the modern era (after the Dutch) - first issued in 1696 I believe.

Are known as "All Stocks" (index). And the coupons were known as "dividends".

I forgot why this is so, but in the UK "stocks and shares" means "bonds and equities". Equities are shares.

The great thing is that I own VTSAX, so I already own the next trillion-dollar stock, whatever that might turn out to be!

I learned a long time ago to stop listening to all the market "experts" and the financial porn.

I would not waste my valuable time even considering.

Own total market index funds and avoid looking for the needle in the haystack.

Actually, I was thinking of Mnuchin & colleagues latest moves. Surely, they are propping up the means of production here in the USA. They are trying very hard not to advertise this though.

I am selling everything and throwing in the home equity to bet on one of these stocks!

Does a magazine editor keep story themes in a file, to be updated and published on days when the markets are closed?

Was it Forbes Sr. who said he made more money publishing a magazine of stock tips, than he ever made in the stock market, even with the lead time ahead of publishing those tips?

[abuss368]

The financial industry and the media and porn machine never cease to amaze me. How can they inject themselves in an effort to come between you and your money?

Could happen. GM used to be the world's largest company.

The beauty of the SP 500. I don't have to be right

My vote would be Tesla

[TechGuy365]

We may see the first $2T US company before the next $1T one. AAPL is 26.7% away from 2T while FB is 50.3% away from 1T.

Does Alibaba trade here? Aren’t they like Amazon for China?

Well I just did some googling to try to answer my own question. First google hit says it trades on NYSE as BABA and has a market cap of 4.8T. Is that correct?

And let's not get into UK business turnover and U.S. mutual fund turnover.

It's interesting how certain values seem to carry extra significance simply because we use a base-10 number system.
