As of today, https://companiesmarketcap.com/ lists Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, Tesla, UnitedHealth, Johnson & Johnson, Visa, and Exxon Mobil as having the largest market capitalization of the publically traded US companies. Will the list at https://companiesmarketcap.com/usa/largest-companies-in-the-usa-by-market-cap/ have at least two new members in the top 10 on June 30th, 2023?

@Duncn resolves YES
NVIDIA on #5, Meta of #8, while Exxon Mobil dropped to #12 and Johnson & Johnson dropped to #13
@SavioMak Yeah, title says "by", description says "on". I assume we defer to the description.
@LucaMasters I have no position in this market so I don't care that much. I agree that resolving based on description is the best move here.
@SavioMak Can confirm, I will resolve based on the state of the list on June 30th, 2023.
"New members", I assume means "are in the top ten as of June 30 and weren't one of the top ten listed in the description". e.g.:
Walmart (#11) goes to #10 => counts.
Exxon (#10) drops to #11 in January and then back up to #10 by June 30: doesn't count.
General Electric (current #79, but former #1) goes to #10: counts.
Chevron (#16) buys Exxon Mobil (#10): Chevron counts
Amazon (#3) buys Visa (#9): Visamazon does not count, but Walmart (#11 prior to the merger, but now sitting pretty at #10) count.
companiesmarketcap.com forgets to renew their domain, I buy it and put up a fake list with two new top-ten companies: doesn't count.
A more realistic possibility: The Justice Department forces Amazon to split into three companies: Amazon, AWS, and Whole Foods: AWS and Whole Foods count iff they remain in the top ten, Amazon does not? What if it renames to "Amazon Shopping" due to the split?
@LucaMasters I believe I agree with all of those examples. Renames will be dealt with on a case by case basis, but a simple renaming would not count (e.g., Facebook re-branding as Meta does not count).
