<FOOLISH WORKSHOP>
100 Largest Update
by Jim Stevens ([email protected])
Burlington, VT (April 22, 1999) -- Tonight's report is a regular Workshop feature, the latest ranking of America's 100 biggest companies. The list is based on the most recent ValueLine Investment Survey. For folks who are following along, take a look at the last time I posted the "100 largest" list back in February 1999. It's always interesting to see which new stocks are making the list or rising up through it, as well as checking the companies that dropped off it.
Without further ado, here is the latest list, with market capitalization in millions of dollars. One change this time around: when I run the Value Line filter, Warren Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: BRK.A)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: BRK.A)") end if %> now makes the list. Previously, Value Line always listed it with a drastically lower market cap then any other source did for some unknown reason. They've changed that, apparently. Now I guess I won't be receiving those friendly e-mails that read: "Hey, Jim, how come Berkshire Hathaway isn't on the list?" Aw, shucks.
