To all,

I know shorting the MEGA-CAPS is not currently in vogue, at least for now, but here's something to think about. I found this little tidbit in last week's Barrons in the "Up and Down Wall Street" column:

If you add up their market caps,

GE > Malaysia + Indonesia + Thailand + Phillipines + Korea

That is, the entire market cap, in dollars, of all five of those COUNTRIES is less than the market capitalization of General Electric!
