This from Forbes; “Every year since 2003, the Global 2000 has ranked the world’s publicly traded companies by sales, profit, assets and market value, with all four variables given equal weights. This year’s ranking looks far different from the list’s first installment 20 years ago, when Citigroup was No. 1 and AIG, Fannie Mae and IBM were among the 10 largest companies in America. None are in the top 20 today.”
