Note that the U.S. GDP is about $30.8 trillion in nominal terms for 2025, according to IMF forecasts.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThere are only so many trillions of dollars that can disappear from investors\u2019 portfolios before a recession is triggered.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe trillions of dollars are now passing us by so quickly that it is difficult to comprehend. The \u201cdirty little secret\u201d of today\u2019s American financial system is that central banks cannot create jobs, raise incomes, or even generate economic growth.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAll they can do is control the price of debt\/credit, which inflates asset prices (stocks\/real estate), making people feel richer so they keep spending money. That\u2019s all.\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Why do this?<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Why not stop printing money, devaluing the US dollar, and allowing stocks to trade on fundamentals?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nBecause a bull market in the stock market is now a matter of national security. About 58% of American households have exposure to the stock market. In terms of real wealth, 45% of household wealth is invested in stocks. That is, almost half of the wealth Americans own is tied to the stock market. Only in this context does a major bear market or stock market crash become a matter of national security in terms of economic impact.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt&#8217;s the equivalent of an economic nuclear weapon. But wait, because this relationship goes even deeper than most people realize. The stock market is now actually the economy itself.\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29289 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-130-1024x361.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div> \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The rich are getting richer<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nWe are in a \u201cK-shaped\u201d economy, where the top 10% of income or otherwise of consumers account for almost all of the consumer spending and economic growth, while the bottom 90% of income\/consumers struggle with the increased cost of living due to inflation.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe top 10% of households, that is, the people who essentially drive the economy through consumption, own over 90% of the stocks.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn this context, a falling stock market would cause a huge reduction in consumer spending. And since consumption represents 70% of GDP, this would immediately lead to a recession. This is no exaggeration.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe got a taste of this during the trade war and tariff crisis in March\/April 2025, when stocks plunged 18% in four weeks, wiping out $11 trillion in wealth.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDuring that time, many companies \u2014 from Southwest Airlines to Chipotle to PepsiCo \u2014 warned that they were seeing a decline in consumer spending to recession levels. That\u2019s why policymakers, including the President and his inner circle, always intervene to prop up the stock market.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThat\u2019s why the market is manipulated both through statements and through direct injections of newly printed money by the Fed. This depreciation will force capital to flow into higher-risk assets, such as stocks, real estate, and \u201chard\u201d assets like gold. It is no coincidence that both stocks and gold have skyrocketed during the same period.\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29290 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-131.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div> <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29291 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-132.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div> \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The truth of the numbers<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nToday, twelve American companies have a market value of more than $1 trillion. Their total capitalization reaches $29 trillion.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWalmart had already entered the \u201c1 trillion club\u201d for a few weeks, albeit marginally, but recently fell below this threshold. If it were added to the list again, then the 12 American companies would have a total capitalization of about $30 trillion.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis amount corresponds to about 43% of the total market value of all companies in the S&amp;P 500 index. During the small correction that occurred from January 28 to March 6 of this year, the total value of these 12 companies decreased by $1.8 trillion.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn the 58 sessions that followed, their value increased by $4.9 trillion. Over the past six years, their total market capitalization has skyrocketed from about $6 trillion to $30 trillion. These are returns that have guided an entire generation of investors.\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29292 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-133.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div> \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Case of Micron<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe latest company to join the \u201ctrillion-dollar club\u201d is Micron Technology. Since its low on April 3, 2025, its stock has surged 1,315%. Its market value has increased from $72 billion to over $1 trillion.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMost impressively, the second half of this journey \u2014 from $500 billion to $1 trillion \u2014 was accomplished in just 48 sessions, a record-breaking feat.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe 12 U.S. companies in the \u201ctrillion-dollar club\u201d\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>NVIDIA: $5.11 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Apple: $4.58 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Alphabet (Google): $4.57 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Microsoft: $3.34 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Amazon: $2.91 trillion dollars<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Broadcom: $2.12 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Tesla: $1.64 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Meta Platforms: $1.61 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Micron Technology: $1.09 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Eli Lilly: $1.04 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Berkshire Hathaway: $1.02 trillion<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Walmart follows with about $922 billion.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nEli Lilly is in danger of falling below the trillion mark, while Micron is also quite close to that possibility. Even a normal daily fluctuation could be enough. These stocks are now considered highly volatile.\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>$30 Trillion Isn\u2019t What It Used to Be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n$30 trillion was once considered an unimaginable sum. Just four years ago, the total national debt of the United States was about $30 trillion. Today, it\u2019s $39 trillion.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nNot because it\u2019s gotten any bigger, but because it\u2019s still growing. And more companies worth more than $1 trillion. There are three more companies with a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion, but they\u2019re not American:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>South Korea\u2019s SK Hynix,<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC),<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>and Saudi Aramco.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happens if there\u2019s a major correction?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nEvery small drop in the combined value of these 12 companies means trillions of dollars disappearing from investment portfolios. Every small rise creates trillions of dollars \u201con paper.\u201d\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf there were even a 20% drop, about $6 trillion in market value would disappear. Once, $6 trillion was considered a huge amount. Today, it could be lost simply by the correction of a dozen stocks.\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recession risk<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nA classic tech stock crash, similar to those seen in the past after periods of excessive gains, could lead the US economy into recession.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAccording to Trust Economics, there are limits to how much trillions can be lost from household and business portfolios without affecting their financial decisions.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen losses become too great, consumers and businesses cut back on spending and investment, slowing economic growth.\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The example of the dot-com bubble<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nA similar situation occurred during the dotcom bust. A year after the crash began, in March 2001, the United States entered a recession. The recession lasted until November of that year.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHowever, the stock market crash continued until October 2002. By then, the Nasdaq Composite had lost about 78% of its value.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe crisis particularly affected areas with a large concentration of technology, telecommunications, software, hardware, and biotechnology companies, such as:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Silicon Valley,<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>San Francisco,<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>Seattle,<\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li>and Boston.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn these areas, the situation resembled more of an economic depression than a simple recession. However, much of the rest of the country was much less affected.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe overall recession turned out to be relatively mild compared to the much deeper crisis that followed a few years later, when the collapse of the housing bubble coincided with an over-indebted and dangerously interconnected banking system.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nA stock market crash is not imminent. The concentration of enormous value in just 11\u201312 companies has reached historically extreme levels.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf these companies undergo a serious correction, the loss of wealth will be so great that it could affect consumption, investment, and ultimately the growth of the American economy.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe comparison is mainly to the tech bubble of 2000, alt\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sheer size of the numbers is simply mind-boggling: 12 American companies have a market value of $30 trillion?
