Thanks for this post! It's surely an interesting list. And here I thought GE was the no 1 company still!

This list conveys the number one reason I do not buy Mobil gas, because they have the market on lock, so if I buy from Shell, I feel like I have a fighting chance to help keep gas prices down.

In addition, I knew Google stock would explode this way, but I wish I bought it when it was $89 a share, as I suggested my friend do. Now she has an e-trade account that started with ten shares worth $890 and now the account is worth $5000 because of my advice.

I am happy for her, but next time I will act on my own good advice!

Check out the Googometer, a visual graphic of how the company compares to other top companies valued just below or above it:

So basically only Cisco and Microsoft are the only tech companies now worth more than Google? What about Yahoo! or even IAC?

It makes me feel good to see this (wink, wink)...

MOST of these companies too will shortly be eclipsed by "The Big G." Give it 12-24 more months???

Great post. This is very interesting and astute analysis.

Wow that is very interesting- definitely didn't know Mobil-Exxon was number one.

Next year... 10... in a few years... 5. In 20 years... no 1. Who wants to bet ?

Chris ... very interesting post. Thanks.

Considering how much of our marketing budget goes to Google I am not surprised that they are a 156B company.
