World record wealth creation: <Fed assets gained $46.2 billion to $2.06 trillion in the week that ended yesterday, > It takes me years to gain the fifth significant figure in the increase which they achieve in one week. On the total assets, my contribution would only affect the 7th significant figure.

QCOM worked for quarter of a century to achieve total assets of about what the Fed achieved in one week. QCOM needed thousands of super smart people working hard year in year out to do it. The Fed just needed Big Ben and a pixelating processor to add 0s.

The financial relativity theory accelerometer is not showing rapidly increasing velocity because the mass against which the burning fuel is pushing is increasing due to relativistic effects.

Which is more valuable, really, to regular garden variety humans, the vast technological miracle of mobile cyberspace pixelated via CDMA/OFDM-A phragmented photons, or the tsunami of freshly pixelated US$ swirling around the cybersphere in 0s and 1s?

According to current valuations, one week of Big Ben's production is equal to all the work ever done by QCOM. That is doubtful at best and after a moment's contemplation, even ignoring the lurking, looming presence of Qi, absurd.
