Changes in Market Caps. of 25 Largest Cos. Over the Past 30 years

Here is a link to a terribly interesting chart sent to me by a lurker. I post the link with that person's permission:

technologyreports.com

The chart highlights changes in the market cap for the 25 biggest companies over the past 30 years.

Few things to note:

1. Market cap for most non-oil companies declined in the 70s.
2. IBM grew faster in the 90s than in the 80s.
3. MSFT's market cap was less than $5B in 1989.
4. The market caps biggest companies grew roughly 10x in the 1990s.

Please keep in mind that the growth in market cap over time reflects growth by merger as well as other forms of more beastly behavior.
