Some interesting bits and pieces in the rankings. Coca-Cola is No. 1, IBM No. 2, Microsoft No. 3, Intel No. 7 and HP No. 12.

Big financial firms are still doing well, sometimes strangely well. Citi is No. 19, HSBC is No. 27 and Merrill Lynch – remember Merrill Lynch? – is No. 34. Guess Bank of America will hold onto the brand. JP Morgan is No. 37 and Goldman comes right behind at No. 38.

UBS at No. 41 is one step ahead of Morgan Stanley while AIG ranks No. 54, just above Axa.
