he's saying it's a ridiculous comparison as it's more a measure of the size of the market than the inherent value of the company, ie when china overtakes the US economy in 20 or so years most American companies will seem tiny in comparison. Of course im not saying that marketsize is the only factor, especially in this age of globalisation, but it is a predominant factor - "America on line" is always going to be 20 times larger than "Australia on line".
