So Apple is actually not at the top of the list.

I also refer you to the qualifiers in Post 73, which you conveniently ignored:

"Revenues are all well and good. . . but it's like Market Share. Unless those revenues stick to your fingers and in your pocket, they mean NOTHING. Unless you want to count certain Government national banks like the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China's profits of $ 42,718,000,000 with assets of 3,124,886,000,000 (that three TRILLION dollars). . . and the US Government's Fannie Mae withe profits of $ 83,963,000,000 on assets of 3,270,108,000,000 (another $3 trillion in real estate loans), There is NO OTHER COMPANY IN THE WORLD with profits like Apple's!"

I specified exactly what Fannie Mae was there. . . a US Government owned entity. . . and the same for the Chinese bank.

And you chose to ignore the statement in Post 79 as well. So I will repeat it:

"The Number one position is occupied by the quasi-government entity FNMA, which is only there because of an artificial political move by the Obama regime. . . the governmental bailouts to save it from bankruptcy.
Fannie Mae had a whopping big quarters and year in 2013 because the US Government bailed FNMA out because of HUGE LOSSES of $59.8 Billion in 2008, $74.4 Billion in 2009, and even more losses in 2010. . . and they booked those huge multi-Billion dollar bailouts from tax payer funds as income recovery in 2012 and 2013. Without those non-real-revenue funds, FNMA would have still been in the red on 2013 as they paid out funds on foreclosed property loans.
There are two other larger organizations that are not listed, but both are government owned banks in China which mandate that all businesses in the country do business with them and mandate their levels of profit. . . they do not qualify for inclusion. . . and really Fannie Mae being a quasi-government body with over 3 Trillion in assets should not either.

You cannot be that dense to ignore the facts. . . so it has to be your anti-Apple bias at work here. . . you sheer hatred of Apple and your desire to simply DENY Apple the credit for what they have accomplished. You are completely delusional and would prefer GOVERNMENT over private industry.

You expose yourself as a dyed in the wool LIBERAL by that preference.
