Out of a list of 25 best quarters in history, Apple occupies six of the slots, positions 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 24. All of those quarters have been in the last three years, four of them in the last two, three of them in the last year.
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.
