Just accept you bluff, take your L and move on rather than resorting to emotional clapbacks

Emotional what ?



Do you have so little going on in your life that it's so important you win this argument on a cheap forum like this ? That is very sad

Take the L? Oh men, nigga you really need to go out more, make real friends , read a book , learn new things

You need to work on your socializing skills

This is absolutely hilarious

Wait are you gay? Because I am Getting a really strong gay vibe off you.

Yes I know, likewise Petrochina. But I'm not sure it's three times more than Apple. US companies; Amazon and Microsoft will keep growing due to capitalism.

despite Aramco isn't a public company,it's worth over 2trillion....if it's IPO is traded,Aramco could be worth almost 5 trillion

Google is safe, can't say same thing about Facebook. Yes you are right about Apple and they know this hence the reason their last iPhone were sold at exorbitant prices to balance the books and they are into services now too.

Not at all, the company has moved to China now because they offer them tax break plus political statement they are trying to make. I don't know what Trump's response is going to be but expect to pay more for your next iphone because Trump is going to put heavy tax on companies that moved from the US. If not for greed, why should Apple still be lured with not paying taxes? I heard Google is moving too.

Steve Jobs is probably dancing shaku shaku in his grave.
For ignorant Africans, this is why white men fight tooth and nail to leave legacies after they die. Any success Apple ever gains will find a way to feature the name Steve Jobs. Let's say your grandchildren use iPhones in future, they will forever keep getting reminded that all the successful ideas Apple thinks up were a result of Steve Jobs's (a man they have no idea about) innovative thinking. I can't say the same about Nigerian billionaires, politicians and its many 'Men of God'.

Nairaland and by extension the mentality of many a Nigerians amazes me...we should all understand that we don't know everything and that's why we keep learning. If u come up with a fact and another person disproves it with a better fact, it doesn't take anything to say "oh I didn't see it that way" and everyone moves forward. Instead of trying to slander one another. don't think Dalton, Darwin and their likes reasoned like this when their laws were modified

It's no news that Apple has reached $1 trillion market value, making it the first US company to achieve this feat. To help you understand what this means, here are some sets of combinations of large companies you need to combine to make one Apple.

Set 1
1. ExxonMobil - $344.1
2. Chevron - $248.1
3. Samsung Electronics - $325.9
4. Total S.A - $168

Set 2
1. Procter & Gamble - $184.5
2. BP - $152.6
3. Unilever - $155.8
4. Coca-Cola - $179.3
5. Bank of China - $158.6
6. McDonald's - $129.9

Set 3
1. IBM - $132.3
2. General Electric - $126.8
3. Philip Morris International - $126.2
4. Bank of America - $313.5
5. Walmart - $246.2

Set 4
1. Amazon.com - $777.8
2. Toyota Motor - $200.7

Set 5
1. 3M - $121.8
2. British American Tobacco - $120
3. Adobe Systems - $119.1
4. Royal Bank of Canada - $113.4
5. Siemens - $112.5
6. China Merchants Bank - $112.4
7. AIA Group - $111.4
8. Nike - $110.3
9. Honeywell International - $110.1

We don't know how many companies in Nigeria we can put together to arrive at that amount.
We won't want to grow old here typing that.
Even 100 Dangote Group of Companies no reach!
Okay bye!

The question is how much of dat is due to value of shares than actual liquidity or asset.

Not sure they sell that much bt they have upscale appeal and a globally respected brand.

nope..Google is not.... European GPDR and California's anti-privacy invasion law will harm Google and Facebook as 90percent of their revenue is dependent on advertising....Google alternative,Google cloud isn't growing compared to that of Amazon and Microsoft.its SAAS,Gsuite is nowhere close to office 365.chromebook isn't growing...to nail Google's future European union fined Google for Android anti competitive moves...if this fine starts, Google's grip on Android will fade and u know what tha t means?... Google's cash cow, android will be grossly affected.thus, fall in revenue and stock.this will make the likes of Samsung, Microsoft and Huawei more powerful than Google when it comes to control of android

yea


sometimes I wonder why God made me black


But God does not make mistake so I accept it


Too much foolishness, hate, bile, ignorance and shortsighted fools in one ethnicity


All ethnicities have their "deplorable" but in the case of black folks, the deplorable far outnumber the sensible And this cuts across the socio economic strata of the society


Apart from the dangote group, MTN and a few others, i don't see any company amongst us that will outlive its founders.
