Topic: Let's talk business

Ok, so I was on Forbes.com looking at some numbers when I decided to look up my favorite corporation on the Pacific Ocean. Well I did. And I found something. My problem is, I don't speak the business lingo. Hopefully someone here can translate. This is what I found:

Rank 483     
Name Nintendo  
Country Japan     
Sales Rank 1,001
Profits Rank 350
Assets Rank 1,005
Market Value Rank 394

Oh yeah. These numbers are for 2000. A little dated but it was all I could find.

Sales rank= rank in terms of products sold

Profits rank= rank in terms of how much of that money was beyond expenses

Assets rank= rank in terms of how much what they own is worth

Market rank = not completely sure, but how much it would cost to buy said company.

Ok, thanks. If that last one is true, then Nintedndo must be REALLY expensive. Some people's market value were in the thousands while Ninty is way up at 400ish.
