It’s not that Apple is worth a lot. It is that the dollar is worth so little.

While that is a good point, it's all relative in that Apple is still worth more than all other publicly traded non-government capitalized companies in the world. I grant you that counters do not matter. . . but it is an impressive number of place-holding zeros.

True, the dollar amounts today, in 1965 would have that cap number high but no where near $1,000,000,000,000!
$600.00 in 1965 buying power equals $4,434 today.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Then why aren't there a lot of other companies in the trillion dollar market cap range? Being that the dollar is worth so little.
