Apple Worth More Than Greece

[greg0205]

Found this on CNNMoney. Apparently Apple's value on the markets yesterday briefly exceeded $400Bn which means that it's market cap is higher than the GDP of Greece or Austria or Argentina or... wait for it... South Africa.

I'm pretty sure my piggy bank is more than Greece.
I know it's worth more than the Limpopo province.

Yes but what's the PE for a country?

Its actually scary! They should buy Greece and in the future have one massive iStore on Greece but as big as the country!

That would be an awsome experience!

That's the way it was posted by CNNMoney... Should have added it 'tho.

EDIT: If a mod could change it... Just saying.

Because Greece is bankrupt and is worth nothing - for that matter most people are worth more than Greece !

As long as you have a dog, a blanket, and no debts !

In the OP you'll see that other countries are included.
