What company will be the second to lose $1 trillion in market cap?

Mike “Mish” Shedlock's Sitka Pacific Capital Management,Llc

Amazon is already down over $1 trillion in market cap from the peak. Will it be Tesla, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, or Apple be next?

Amazon (AMZN) market cap

Amazon is down from a peak of $1.88 trillion to $854.8 billion making it the first company to lose over $1 trillion in market cap.

Who's next?

Tesla (TSLA) market cap

Tesla has lost about $727 billion in market cap but it likely will not be next.

Facebook META market cap

This is an impressive effort by Meta, down $759 billion in market cap from its peak. Alas, Meta never got high enough to lose $1 trillion so it's out of the running.

Microsoft (MSFT) market cap

Microsoft is down $800 billion from its peak, a bit more than Tesla and it has much more room to drop.

Apple (AAPL) market cap

Apple is also down an impressive $800 billion in market cap and it has a mountain of room room to drop.

Alphabet (GOOG) market cap

Alphabet (Google) is also down about $840 billion in market cap and it has a mountain of room room to drop.

Don't rule out Tesla as a dark horse candidate but as you can see, competition is very stiff.

Either Apple, Google, or Microsoft are likely to be the next company to lose a $trillion in market cap.

Exxon Mobil special announcement

Exxon Mobil XOM has already passed Facebook and Tesla in market cap.

Do not be at all surprised if it passes all of the above companies. Meanwhile, insane predictions persist for technology companies.

Wood's predictions

The price of bitcoin will hit $1 million by 2030, a roughly 6,000% increase from current levels.
Wood calls for Zoom, ARKK’s largest holding, to approach $1,500 a share in 2026. That is based in part on expectations of a worker backlash against returning to offices. Her bear case is for shares to trade at $700.

Cathie Wood’s Ark open source model predicts Tesla shares will hit $4,600 by 2026

Please recall my April 18, 2022 post Cathie Wood’s Ark Open Source Model Predicts Tesla Shares Will Hit $4,600 by 2026

By 2030 ARK predicts a share price of about $22,500 equating to a market cap of roughly $22.5 trillion.

US Real GDP in 2021 was $19.8 Trillion.

ARK is predicting the valuation of Tesla will exceed the entire US real GDP by the early 2030s.

What a hoot!

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The move higher continues to draw support from lingering geopolitical tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, both of which are keeping safe-haven demand firmly in play.
