Doesn’t seem to bother liberals, unlike just about any other corporation.

Exxon can and has existed and survived without Apple. But Apple cannot exist without Exxons product: oil.

That rating is by Market Cap, not sales.

Apple is way down the list of companies ranked by revenues.

I guess it’s time for the government to start looking for money from them.

Gee would it be too much to ask that the start bringing their manufacturing back to the USA? I think not.

From a purely hard asset point of view, exactly what assets does Apple have? They certainly have a tremendous cash hoard but what else. Do they own any of their own manufacturing facilities or anything else for that matter?

Exxon-Mobile on the other hand has a boatload of hard assets, yet their market value is not what Apple’s is.

Apple’s worth is based upon their over valued stock and a lot of hype, in the long run I would rather own Exxon.

Big oil = bad. No one even discusses Big Phone. To avoid Big Phone how will stupid liberal Hollywood types get jobs or communicate? Solar communications?
