Dear Aleskandar, as far as i have seen the balance sheets of GM, it has been making losses since 2005 and from 2006 company has been having assets lesser than the liabilities and it had been decreasing since then till its liquidation. So i dont see any point in GM getting in this list.

Boring to spend a lot of time on but interesting to see who’s gone up, who’s gone down, and who is new on the list (like H&M).

Even though Merrill Lynch’s ranking has understandably gone down substantially, Dr. Tantillo (‘the marketing doctor’ who has a branding blog.) did a recent post on the Merrill Lynch acquisition by B of A, asserting the importance of Preserving Merrill Lynch’s brand (name)–because in the eyes of most people, it is still a strong brand name: “The companies can still reap all the benefits of merging (back office efficiencies, etc.) while profiting from the value of separate brands. From my perspective ML becomes a superbrand —the advantages of great street cred (ML), along with the stability of a great bank brand— BOA.”

Here’s a link to Tantillo’s full post.
