We tend to think that Market Caps are fixed at the rate of the largest companies from the past.

There is really no solid evidence to limit them, especially when inflation (or dollar devaluation) is taken into consideration. Just keeping ahead of that is victory.

And especially when you think that in the past we really didn't have the Chinese, Indian, Brazilian, Russian, or Southeast Asian economies to sell into, and those economies are just now getting to the point where they are viable as consumer economies of Apple products. It's not totally unrealistic to think that China alone could double Apples total sales, being 4 x 5 times larger than the US.

I see no real reason Apple could not double again, but realistically I hate to think that it is GOING to happen for superstitious reasons. If I think its going to happen I can almost guarantee it won't.
