Which US-Traded Companies Have the Biggest Market Caps?

Now, obviously the order of this list will change in the future due to companies rising and falling in value.

However, as of April 7th, 2010, the US stocks with the largest market capitalizations are:

XOM (Exxon Mobil Corporation) - $319.6 Billion
MSFT (Microsoft Corporation) - $257.52 Billion
AAPL (Apple Inc.) - $219.1 Billion
WMT (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) - $208.96 Billion
BRK-A (Berkshire Hathaway) - $198.29 Billion
GE (General Electric) - $197.82 Billion
BAC (Bank of America) - $188.69 Billion
JPM (JP Morgan Chase & Co.) - $181.25 Billion
PG (Procter & Gamble) - $181.23 Billion
JNJ (Johnson & Johnson) - $179.81 Billion
GOOG (Google Inc.) - $179.62 Billion




A few things to note on this list:

1. Apple has surged over the past year or so, passing such behemoths as Berkshire Hathaway and Wal-Mart.

2. Microsoft's stock price hasn't budged a bit over the past 10 years.

3. JP Morgan and Bank of America have also surged over the past year, thanks to the strong recovery of the financial sector.
