Revised Global 30 List

This is my revised list of what I call the Global 30 stocks. This is the same list that I previously posted, except I removed PetroChina and China Mobile, because these are controlled by their parent companies, which are owned by the government of China.

There are only 8 foreign companies left on the list - Royal Dutch Shell, HSBC Holdings, Novartis, Toyota, Vodafone, BHP Billiton, Anheuser-Busch and BP.  I am including only companies listed on the NYSE, so that they are "Americanized" to some degree, and regulated.  Samsung isn't included because it isn't listed on the NYSE.

They all went up in value except Toyota.

I think that the stock of these companies are equivalent to money, and the increase in value is mostly due to QE, not fundamentals.

Update:
I'm still playing with this concept.  I've decided to add Merck, giving this a total of 31 stocks, so the numbers now look like this:

MRK	Merck	2920	47.18	50.05	137,766	146,146
	Adjusted Total				6,356,933	7,049,831
