This is based on the most ridiculous of "can" and "if" possible. Because we all know there, no way the penetration will continue at this rate in "The Western World". Look at the level of earning of 3/4 of the Earth's population. And still it's not worth the figures quoted. I would rather bet on AFF shares.

Yes I know. It was a joke.
