Oxford Nanopore Stock: The Internet of Living Things

If you took all the stocks in the world and put them in a single basket, about 58% of that combined market cap would be U.S. stocks. If you want to look that number up, just download a fact sheet for the MSCI ACWI IMI Index.

In second place is Japan, with about 6.3% of the world’s stocks by market cap, followed by the U.K. at 3.9%.
