I was wondering what these companies do...thanks for explaining WSJ
I heard of Apple, but what is “Micro Soft”? Is Amazon a Brazilian real estate company?
@@brandonwoohoo I guess Microsoft sells virus and Amazon sells forests.
Well I think wsj ran out of concepts
That was new ...,Surprised !
@@brandonwoohoo HAHA
Reminds me of the guy that turned down a third of apple for 50k. That would've been a nice ROI
Yeah but when a third of apple was worth 50k they didn’t seem like the most sound investment. That’s a lot of risk...
Wait that actually happened? I have never heard of that
@@9yearoldepicgamersoldier129 when apple was founded, there was another co founder- an engineer, who later sold his shares for 50k few years after it was founded. It is now worth $340 billion now
@@tristanmoller9498 50k and you own a company that makes software and they first came out with an ipod? I would jump at that deal that’s huge
Amazon is still the most impressive, to go from selling books then selling just about anything online, then 1 day delivery, and now drone delivery where they want to make 30 minute deliveries. Bezos is the real genius here
Steve Jobs brought apple from brink of bankruptcy to trillion dollar.
Elon Must : Hold my SpaceX/Tesla
The vision was always to become the "everything store". Books was a strategic first step in the bootstrap.
@@adityapatel9735 No he didn't. GTFOH🤣🤣
@@c.s1393 sorry, I meant Steve Jobs, not cook
Fun fact I paid more taxes then all three companies combined
did you paid more than 30 billion usd?
@Harry Sanjaya FUN FACT
*R/WOOOOSH*
What how can you are you a honest ceo of some multi billion dollar company
No you didnt-and if you did you’d be a very bad business man...
@@keshav4203 all these dumb idiots replying don't know what's going on smh 🤦♂️
Then there is Saudi Aramco with a $2 trillion evaluation
ACEE And the company with the highest profits in the world last year.
$3 trillion valuation by a delusional despot. Why do you think that IPO went bust?
@@iot1452 For a simple reason that most people don't know about and that is transparency,
After MBS saw that the only markets that are capable of making this huge IPO worth it are only western ones he cancelled it the problem is that transparency is a requirement there for any public company after all you don't want the public to know about the billions of dollars that he and the thousands of princes that are taking from ARAMCO to spent on their yachts and mansions... that may cause a revelation.
ACEE until Saudi Arabia runs out of oil
@@ShidaiTaino that's when they move to natural gas
go to the past
buy thousands of shares
get rich
thats how stocks work.
ok how to do that in 2019 now?
cant go in the past
Paul Oketch why not lottery?
Yes that's how I got rich by going back to 2013 and buying Bitcoins
You just need to make $1milion and put it in your savings account then live off the interest.
These three companies are Richer than most countries and have more money than the GDP of most countries LOL.. just wow..
Wow! Just in time for celebrating the peak of US asset bubbles. I hope you don't delete this. 6 months later, this video will be the reminder of how big the bubbles are.
Really?
@@xavierdole7307 sooner or later these bubbles are going to burst. nothing grows forever they have hit peak and the valuations are sky high not just these 3 companies most American stocks are at high valuation.
Everyone time I hear the bubble will burst, it doesn't happen. Even 2008 was a mile deflation not a burst. Imo, a burst is more like 1929 market crash. And that will never happen against since the creation of Quantitative Easing.
@@walden6272 its subjective and you get the gist when people say "bubble burst" only that matters.
Doomsayers are right! 1 out 100 times.
Its easy to reach that level, don’t pay taxes...😂😂😂
Genius, l earn to earn first
Given Cap not really. Just play by the rules. These companies don’t create the rules. They followed them and they thrived.
Used international law to delay paying tax... And you wonder why American citizen had to pay tax wherever they work at.
They pay very little tax to offshore countries where they have their factories, r&d, offices, etc.. and the U.S taxes them for all their offshore works along with all the national taxes.
Hence, the multinational companies can take advantage of the brains, cheap labors and raw materials of other countries, and the United States' citizens and the government enjoy a good cut of the worldwide profits made by these giant companies.
@ThatGuyOnTheInternet He's actually right. If you convert your cash into asset you don't have to pay tax.
Apple keeps most of their money in the form of patents. Government can't ask for 20% of your patents, houses, fine art, precious metals/material (not gold but Titanium and Tungsten) etc.
You don't have to pay a single penny for this items, they can be gifted to you without taxations.
Now apple and microsft have crossed even 2 trillion 👏👏
Microsoft is the only one that justifies their valuation.. They are well diversified and do not have all the eggs in 1 basket like Apple..
Amazon is a growth story but they are literally forcing away businesses from their most profitable divison i.e. AWS (mostly to Azure) since Amazon competes with so many of them.. They can still have the highest valuation ever possibly even reaching $1.8 to $2 Trillion, but I would rather want to have my money in Microsoft than Amazon if a recession hit..
Still, Apple has a very strong brand, probably the most valuable brand in the world. That is some serious asset to leverage.
@@Dracogame Brand name can take you only so long.. Kodak, Nokia, Blackberry were all companies with good brand recognition.. Apple needs to transition to services soon..
As the phone industry reaches the stagnation point, Apple will be the first to take a big hit
@@adityamd812 Im surprised it hasn't yet, phones are far beyond what most people need these days, but better devices keep coming out and somehow people keep buying them. Can't wait for this to stop and see Apple and Samsung losing 1/3 of their value.
@@adityamd812 They might take a hit, but most of their products and services are and will be well received. There are too many reasons why Apple won't fail so fast.
Never head of these companies before! Thanks!!
These companies have the potential to become their own nation. Maybe not in our time but in the future it's very possible.
Once again irrational exuberance I don’t see this ending well
Data dash fan?
A Sabree because you don’t own any stock from any of those three companies. You are terribly butthurt...
MS MS u dumb idiot. This 3 companies will soon become a bigger monopoly and no other small business will be left around. Thus big companies will soon be broken up apart. LOOk at standard oil , broken up to 30 smaller oil company
@@cryptobuzz1680 if that was true Microsoft would of been demolished decades ago. They had a tiny competitor called Apple so nothing happened. One competitor was all that was needed. Amzn has a shitload of competitors as does everyone else. Trump may say shit but it doesn't mean anything half the time
And yet i have never bought a share on the stock marlet...
and why is that?
@@moviedude22 because he buys shares in stock market
If YOU do, it will crash
Wait til it drops 50% from its high, then buy lots.
Same
All of these companies need to start paying taxes
Because? lol? how can you accuse people (companies) of being smart?
They do
They do
@@epicgamer8938 Amazon doesn't!
SpaceTime Gaming they don’t. They effectively pay $0
0:34 goosebumps
Kernel.org 1 trillon dollars when
No company should be able to dominate the way these few do. We should start capping the profits companies can make and maybe make them pay some shares to employees each year. We all deserve to be rich and no one person or company should control large parts of world economies.
This is a joke right?
They don't pay taxes either.
They pay very little tax to offshore countries where they have their factories, r&d, offices, etc.. and the U.S takes in taxes for their offshore works along with all the national taxes.
Hence, the multinational companies can take advantage of the brains, cheap labors and raw materials of other countries, and the United States citizens and the government enjoy a cut of the worldwide profits made by these giant companies.
@@eJohndoe i love when they don't pay taxes, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, LOL.
The company that invents a virtual world where we can fly, strive and thrive will create a mega trillion dollar company. This virtual world will give us every feeling we ever wanted. This will take over most entertainment. After work we will hook up.
So META
Welcome to the money printing machine.
Billion is a thousand millions
A trillion is a million thousands
Actually a trillion is a million * million
A1BELLS thanks, my mistake
The next Trillion dollars company would come from Robotics, like in the Will Smith movie iRobot
Nah, Google will be next.
Jeff Besos used to have hair?! 2:00
how? lol with a low-interest rate and profitable management
Value engineering knowing the choice or alternative what you sell represents to the customer.
This video is so help ful on how apple joining Amazon keep up the hard work thanks you
How? Impact. Such game changers, all three.
I got an ad for facebook just before this
It is due to quantitive easing by FED and irrational equity boom in USA due to free money which will lead to a bubble like 2000 and 2007-8
vivek b English?
Apple is the Kim kardashian of the tech world lol :)
🤣🤣🤣
nope it is amazon
Wow it’s almost like everyone already knows what these companies do
So... Explain to me again how Amazon pay ZERO federal tax last year?
Not really. Large tech companies (Apple by huge margin) buy-back their shares/securities to artificially boost their market cap, and thus valuation. How the heck buy-back is even allowed in the first place remains an open question.

But what if these three companies merged?

@Uddipan Mondal u dont get the joke.
In spanish please...?
In short: 1) Build a phone for $50 and sell it for $1200. 2) Become the world's biggest drop shipper and charge full retail. 3) For reasons that are hard to understand, have virtual monopoly for personal computer operating systems
... and I earn about $10/hr at Burger King.
lucky you! they only pay me $7....
SamoyedGamer my burger flipping skills are legend. No one will ever replace me.
zachary paris LOL I am sure you don't have a college degree

Hey Apple... could i hold $3.50?
?
Rohan Korde He’s begging
@@LaSombraa nope. He is investing $3.50 lol.
Nah i heard Apple was a trillion dollar company and im tryna hold $3.50. Don't act like u don't got it...
Three fiddy
... and there buying back stock. And that helps push remainder stocks POP
U forgot facebook
I LOVE WSJ
@Hillel Friedler never
Now Apple hit 2 trillion like 3 weeks ago
3 trillion today:)
The answer is low interest rates for a long time.
i love microsoft
Now apple has $2Tr. valuation
just told us what very popular companies do
- said nothing about valuations
should've added facebook to the analysis
Facebook will be worth no more than 200 billion as it's reliance on growth comes from the services of Google and Amazon and microsoft
Yet Amazon isn't paying the tax
Microsoft will be the only company to last above one trillion for some time
Yep
One year later. Now that we've seen what we've seen...Does anyone else believe these few companies are about to own it all??
Guess what companies are mostly hiring now?? Pretty soon we'll all be Amazon employee's
Dude, these are global companies and the US alone has an 18 trillion GDP. Also, proportionately speaking, the biggest companies in history were the Dutch East Indies Company, South Sea Company, Mississippi Company, Standard Oil, I forget which railroad, and in that order.
People never learn
that's when you know you should sell.
Hello. Who is here because youtube recommendation
By paying almost no taxes.
They pay very little tax to offshore countries where they have their factories, r&d, offices, etc.. and the U.S takes in taxes for their offshore works along with all the national taxes.
Hence, the multinational companies can take advantage of the brains, cheap labors and raw materials of other countries, and the United States citizens and the government enjoy a cut of the profits made by these companies.
@@eJohndoe
They still pay very little taxes for what they make And all of that offshore Labour hurts jobs in north america.
@@alecnolastname4362 Well, why not bring the manufacturing back home and kill all these giant American companies ?
American ingenuity leads the world. America rules the world of commerce. God bless America. The land of the free and the brave...
MS MS this must be propaganda
doomtomb3 this is the truth not everything is propaganda in life. Wake up...
@@m.s.1753 this must be irony. "not everything in life is propaganda. wake up"
MS MS what a joke
I love how Apple wants to make money from services yet doesn't sell their services outside the iPhone ecosystems. Like no duh that can't compete with the likes of Microsoft or Amazon.
They make more money keeping it in house.
@@ArtSmosh1274It's debatable. I don't actually think that they do. Apple has a very very small market share for their products. Of that market share, they have to convince people to use their services over the competition. For the majority of their products that don't work out all that well. Examples include but are not limited to there music streaming service, cloud storage option, Office suite, and messaging platform.
iMessage may be amazing but at the end of the day consumers still, end up using a third party messenger app that gets to make far more money. Now I understand that they have begun expanding certain services but the point stands that the exclusive ones do not do much for Apple in terms of revenue generation.
I really like watching buzzfeed
They are too big , that's why we need web 3
He pronounced niche really wrong
I would like to learn the difference between the intellectuals whom actually develop these technologies and the ones whom take those technologies and apply them to market trading. Bezos didnt invent the internet but he was able to invest in shipping factories to ship products beginning with books. My question is the innovation here. What are the categories of study which these innovators occupy really.
this is ws's game
Cool
Hi
But are they really worth $1T, really?
What a terrible color choice to show trends on graphs. I have to pause the video and look again to clearly see which shade of blue and red correspond to which company. This is graphs 101 WSJ, you got the content right, get your visuals guy to fix this too.
I cannot afford Apple Ipad,i am a Filipina but my sister in USA will give me a Apple Ipad,please make Apple gadgets cheaper to buy in poor countries !

The stock charts of those companies are getting too steep, generally such steep charts mean a correction (purely looking at the past). We are in a crash anyway but it's the beginning. Literally right now is a crucial moment cuz the Dow just broke out of the 26,000 point mark but if it get's pushed back towards that mark again, then bad news is ahead.
Nvidia enters the chat
with .com bubble v2
I really don't like GAFA
Great then maybe they can help put a dent in that $12+ trillion dollar deficit. 🙌🏾
Not even they could do that. Their market caps are 30 times their annual revenues, and ~95% of revenue is spent immediately on expenses. Besides, they could do a lot more for us by investing in R&D for their own profit.
Also there's nothing necessarily wrong with national debt.
Because no competition.
Now that's just baseless. All the PCs, Ebay, and so forth? These are just the largest tech firms.
What about a technology that saves the Earth?
I know a good one from a company called Millenium SynthFuels. Probably gonna invest in them next. They seem to be a small start up. Hope they hit big
how about you do it and stop bitching on youtube
And what about now? With this whole corona economic meltdown.
Apple and Microsoft are stably going up, Amazon sored due to Covid online shopping.
Yang gang wya
At home not working
Stock market is mostly speculation. There is no way that any of these companies worth trillion dollar. Its just projection of value due to supply and demand. In that sense I agree that these companies are important enough to hold the stock.
FalconEagle they are you see the products on a daily bases worldwide
You dispute the valuation with no evidence to the contrary. They very well could be worth their valuation or more.
Yes i feel like Amazon stock id highly overvalued!
is^
It’s SPELLED “niche” but you say “N-EE-SH”
it's concerning
these people are rich because they been doing this for decades not they been break the law in many way and Jeff bezon
Becuase Amazon bought souq.com
great …….
They don’t pay tax... 🙄
False. There are ways they've used to get massive tax breaks, or put off paying taxes until later so they could invest more now. For instance, R&D research is a tax break for the Feds, and each of these are R&D heavy. Also employ stock options are a tax break, and they use a lot of them.
They all pay state and local taxes where applicable.
Stock buyback.

Sony: But...But what about us?
Microsoft, Apple and Amazon: SECURITY! Please escort this wanna-be off of the premises! #BigMoney
Funny thing is that Sony makes most of its money from selling life insurance in Japan. They actually lose money every year selling electronics yet they keep doing it. They should stick with music, movies and life insurance and ditch their phones, game systems, stereos and TV'S. MAYBE keep the PlayStation around because i believe they can make on it from selling the games and PlayStation Plus service.

Watch out! A.I. Is coming!
Wow, almost nothing said for Microsoft but a ton for Apple and Amazon? This video talks nothing new that we already did not know. Disappointing from the reputable company like WSJ
Right! Microsoft has Azure, new cloud gaming service and much much more that he could've covered 😡
