A few observations:

  • The revenues of Wal-Mart and Exxon Mobil is almost double that of the third ranked firm Chevron.
  • Apple’s (APPL) revenue was high enough to earn it the 6th position.
  • Not all Fortune 500 firms are worth investing in. For example, Best Buy(BBY) stock collapsed with a negative total return of about 47% in 2012.
  • For years, equity investments in tech giants like Microsoft(MSFT), Cisco(CSCO), Intel (INTC), etc. have been “dead money”.
