15 Most Cash Rich Companies [+My predictions]

NVDL: Expect Pfizer, Shell, Johnson and Johnson and Apple to move up the charts. Exxon will remain prominent. I am not sure about the prospects for Intel, Microsoft and Toyota. All require a lot of money to buy, and energy to run - neither of which will be in abundance in the medium term. In a decade, more than half the company's on this list will no longer be on it, if not more, and all the amounts - in real terms - will have been reduced from the current levels. Everyone is about to get poorer.
