Edit Post

I'm sorry if this topic had been discussed already, not sure if it did because it's a popular topic.

So I am gonna share mine, and hopefully you also share yours.

Please share from the least to the most in your favorite companies.

For me.

No. 10 Uniqlo

I like their dresses, good quality and much more affordable.

No.9 Nike

They make good sporting goods, quality is good.

No.8 Neutrogena

They make good body washes.

No.7 Powerade

When I feel thirsty, this comes to mind.

No.6 Toyota

Cars are good.

No.5 Nintendo

They make good interesting games.

No.4. Apple

iPhone rocks.

No.3 Samsung

They make good electronic devices.

No.2 Microsoft

Windows makes everything easy.

No.1 Tesla

They are the definition of innovation.

That's how I'm feeling right now. Ranking may vary.

Nintendo is a powerful company in Japan and the US, you have bought the switch?

Anywhere else!!?? Maybe Germany! They work similarly to Japan.

Off the top of my head I can think of Dieselgate, so not Germany.

Oh Gamecube, it's a cute machine. My favourite game on that console is Mario Sunshine, don't know if you heard of it.

I miss the old Nintendo games, fun.

Quote from: SirStretchAlot on September 18, 2021, 06:43:25 AMTop in terms of brand, technology, employee satisfaction or stock?

There are so many definitions of "top".

In terms of brand, I would say Apple or LVMH/Hermes, because I know many women who would buy iPhones and luxury bags solely because of the brand.

In terms of technology, I would say TSMC/Samsung, ASML/Zeiss. Semiconductor processing and equipment are the most difficult of technologies to master. China can have their Google, Amazon, Facebook or Uber equivalent. However, they probably will never have their TSMC or ASML.

In terms of employee satisfaction and stocks, I would say Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. Large technology companies focus on their culture, pay well and have more job stability. This is very good for employee satisfaction. Their insane profitability as platforms also make their stocks exceptionally good long-term investments.

Apple is a popular company in the US.
