Reading guide
The post lists observations from June 3, 2024: the market capitalizations of the three largest U.S.-listed companies were within an 8.6% range and their ranking could change at any moment; four companies had surpassed US$2 trillion; and three of the ten largest were semiconductor-related. Robin concludes that Taiwan, a small country with a small population, cannot pursue everything. Focusing resources on semiconductors and related areas can still have a profound global impact. The only foreign company among the top ten came from Taiwan in Asia. The figures refer to the date stated in the post; their source remains unconfirmed.
