  Once a year, the firm Millard Brown puts out its BrandZ 100 Most Valuable Brands. The data used for the list come from consumer research and financial data on the companies. The research house gives its methodology here.

  For those who think Google is the top brand, give yourself a pat on the back. It has a brand valuation of $86 billion, up 30%. For those research mavens in the crowd, the figure makes absolutely no sense. Google has a market cap of $168 billion. Most of that would go away -- no matter how good the technology is -- if it changed it name to Dawdle.   Read More...

  Tech stocks are no longer the darling of Wall Street today, taking a tumble after going up-up-up all week.

  It's about time. VMware's valuation has been ridiculously high for a while now. The stock quadrupled in two months and broke $100 this week, but today is down some 4%. Apple has been hitting a series of all-time highs, and got a nice price target increase from Goldman Sachs (to $190) before becoming the top drag today on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Its shares closed at about $162.
