The author seems to have a kind of old century overconfidence in the value of the dollar. I hope he uses only one currency for pratical reasons.

And I would rather read an article that use ratios between liquid/static moneys those corporations got instead of random values.

(I'm one of those that believes static money has no value, had and/or may have, but in reality it's absolute zero).

It's easier to speculate than do actual journalism. Particularly ideological journalism, a la the New York Times.
