The latest email floating around is a clever bracket mimicking the brackets that people fill out for the NCAA Basketball Round of 64 Brackets, except that it's with financial institutions instead of Hackman's Hoosiers (what a good speech)...I've shown the bracket below. Click on it to enlarge. From the choices below, I'd vote for Bank of America; BUT, I don't think the ultimate winner is shown on the board actually.
I think the winner could be the sovereign investment authority of Abu Dhabi known as Mubadala Development Company. They currently have about 10 billion investments and they are funded by the government of Abu Dhabi. They are essentially in the process of converting their wealth borne from scarce natural resources (oil, etc.) into more sustainable investments (e.g. tourism).
Anyway - just a fun little file to remind us that even we aren't all Invincible.
