wasnt very long ago that everyone was freaking about how crazy it was that either Microsoft or Apple would be the first trillion dollar company. And how insane it was that a company could be worth a trillion. Now a handful of companies have well exceeded that level (or more than doubled it) in a few short years..

When MSFT hit $1T I thought there is no way this is sustainable. I thought the stock would definitely stabilize somewhere below that level. How very wrong I was.

Give it another 20-40 years and the world will have the first trillionaire person. 4% inflation over 40 years multiplies the money amount by about 4.8x.

I can't help but think this is in part due to devaluing of the dollar due to the massive quantitative easing and stimulus (see it visualized in an economic infographic linked below). The amount of money flowing in the economy has to go somewhere and a lot of it is finding it's way into the stock market. Thus, we see a record number of IPOs this year (not seen since the dot-com era) as well, and some interpret this as an eminent "SELL" signal.
