These values are market cap, which is based on share value. Due to incoherent practices, some of these values are jacked up, like exxonmobil, due to demand for crude oil. It can crash down if cheaper energy alternatives are found.

Similarly, if the USD were to crash, then the values of american companies will be affected. The only companies with value are those who consistently gave dividend payments. That means, they are liquid and making real profits, instead of bubble profits in terms of assets, even if the company is small and insignificant. Big companies with no dividend payment are rubbish.

Wow! banks that doesn’t even have par value. I guess those blue chips isn’t that blue after all. If that is the case then the rest of the banks are worth peanuts. How are you able to manage the banks into a state of confidence.
