Is this about Americans owning 60% of the value of all the equities in the world, or is just that 60% of the value of all the equities in the world are listed on US markets?
Over half of my stocks were bought on US exchanges and I'm not a US citizen. Very roughly calculated, Norway owns about 1.5% of the world's equities so Norway owns a nice piece of that $40 trillion and they're also not US citizens (well, some of them are, I expect).

#5I don't know what to make of this information. It's clearly true. But I don't understand what it means, what's the take away.

Just last year the Swiss National Bank's portfolio for Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft was over 24 billion. They owned 8.5 billion in Apple and 7 billion in Microsoft alone. [1]

simplified:
Exchanges are a group of public companies. Each company has a market capitalization, calculated by the number of shares * the share price.
Apple's individual market cap is greater than the aggregate market cap (sum of all companies' market caps in the exchange) in many other exchanges in the world.
It means what we already know: Apple is a very large company (it's the largest public company in the world).

#8Love him or hate him; you have to respect the reality that good leadership and vision is what got this company from it’s main competitor bailing it out 25-ish years ago to becoming one of the most valuable tech companies in the world.
I believe a lot of that came from recognizing and adapting to trends, such as when Napster was an huge thing and Apple chased after a legal digital music option.
I think for anyone who was big on tech in the 90’s, Apple’s current position was unthinkable, such as SEGA no longer being in the console market.

Yes, but also tech in general provides new and innovative ways of implementing vendor lock-in at unprecedented scales. Left unchecked, Apple could easily take much more existing commerce, finance and numerous other business, leveraging their existing platforms.

The fractions are as follows:
[US HQ Public companies / All Public companies] = 60%
[US People / All People] = 5%
The listing venue doesn't matter (though for obvious reasons, almost no US companies list overseas). The 60% also does not include foreign companies like Spotify that list in the US.
The point being that things that started in the US and are primarily run by people in the US are way overrepresented.
