The six big tech companies have lost more than $ 1 trillion in the past three days, but in reality this is just a drop in the big profits that peaked last week.

Jared Weisfeld, an analyst at Investment Banking Services (Jefferies), said if we take into account Apple's total loss in value over the past three days, it would be about $ 325 billion.

While the $ 1 trillion amount is huge, it's noteworthy given the rapid development of tech companies this year.
At the beginning of 2020, the market value of the six largest technology companies was around $ 5,000 billion, and the market value of these companies peaked at $ 8.2 trillion on Wednesday, September 2.
