I see that in 1987 Japanese companies really take off and dominate this list for a short while.

This is also shortly before there was an asset bubble in Japan which resulted in something like stagflation.

Few weird things about this. Firstly, "Shell Oil" and "Royal Dutch Shell" are shown as two companies. "Royal Dutch Shell" isn't the name of any company, the modern company is simply called Shell (changed in 2021), it formed from the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Logisitics in the early 1900s. It's also not Dutch, it's British - the Dutch part of the company became absorbed by the larger British half. Still, the "Royal Dutch" part doesn't indicate it's nationality - it's simply a legacy. So are ExxonMobil and Mobil (Mobil merged with Exxon to form ExonMobil, they never existed at the same time).

It's interesting how NTT really kicked off the Japanese bubble, it quickly grew to 3.5x the market cap of any stock before it, and then at the peak just as profits started getting pulled and market cap started diminishing, other Japanese stocks started entering the top ranks. It's as if they were pulling their profits and investing in the places pulled profits would go, most notably Japanese banks. Then nearly the whole way down, as NTT market cap was dwindling all these other Japanese stocks were growing at a nearly proportional rate to how fast NTT was shrinking until NTT hit like 70% loss and went under 100 billion then it was a race to the door.

[@HappyGM-R]

NTT was literally a government owned company before it was made public and entered the stock market. The reason it ‘shrank’ is because it’s job was to flash money throughout the Japanese economy, so it seems like it shrank but in reality it didn’t.

I once saw someone named Carlos Slim, a Mexican, be the richest man in the world in 2015, richer than Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, he wasn't into oil so I dug deeper to see how he made his fortune. He owns a telecommunications company that sells pre-paid phone cards to people, he had 90% of Mexico's population using his phone carriers, so tens of millions of Mexicans were buying "talk time" phone cards every day. Now I know how he made his money.

This could almost be used as indicator for macroeconomic shifts. Every time tech or banks show up in mass vs oil or heavy industrials it results in a crisis. Another interesting view would be to use inflation adjusted dollars.

[@ScrotieJohnson]

Eh not always some of these such as att falling was due to gov intervention in the 1980s, creating the bell system, and gm fell not really due, and gm fell due to infighting with in the company and various projects being pushed back due to infighting and the billions they lost due to the new for 88 gm10 cars and ford being them to the punch with the taurus.

I understand the desire for explanations, but the video would have slow down significantly if you added text. It would become a History upload, not just a graph, and you would have to decide (and suffer the questions and critizism in the comment) of what to write and what not to. Unless of course you explain every single graph movement.

This shows the strength of US businesses in both staying power and comeback after lagging behind other companies. In the 2nd half of the 80s, Japan was dominating, then US companies started a tech renaissance and totally wiped out its electronic and hi tech businesses.

In 1985, the Plaza Accord was signed by Noboru Takeshita and Yasuhiro Nakasone, who are pro-American factions, and the yen appreciated sharply. This is to destroy the export manufacturing industry. Twenty years have passed since then, and GDP has been overtaken by China.
