RE: "the market cap...exceed 50 billion" $50B mkt cap, $5B sales, $2B earnings, 25 PE. I am not concerned about mkt cap, but I wonder about sales growth rates when companies get large. If you remember my semi plan, it looks to sell when the price discounts future sales growth. INTC revenues grew to $30B when digital cpu processing dominated. Real world interfaces will grow increasingly more important in the years ahead as will programmable logic. $5B revenues may not be a growth peak level. As I have said, investors behavior at the top is far more important because there is so much more (smile) to lose.
