Re:At $400 billion, Apple is worth more than Greece by robocat on Thursday January 19, 2012 @10:43PM (#3488210)
Deceptive headline: GDP is annual revenue, yet they are comparing that with market capitalisation... What would the total assets (government, public and private) of Greece cost to buy?

Confusingly http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/gdp-market-cap/2006/12/21/ implies that amount of GDP is crudely comparible with the amount of market cap (which ignores govt or private equity) - due to other reasons!

Sigh. Someday, people will realize that GDP is a crappy measure for... anything.
