### Comment:
Are those other companies considered one of the most valuable companies in the world?  
  
 A valuation which is partly based on continued growth means maintaining market share may not be good enough. I don't get the comparison, just because Apple is out performing weaker competitors doesn't mean Apple is necessarily gaining or even maintaining value.... 
  
 Your conclusion doesn't really follow. Apples and oranges comparison.

### REPLY:
AAPL has a sub 13 forward PE.  That’s far more inline with strong money maker versus future growth.  Obviously if revenue falls hard so will valuation, but it’s high valuation is more due to what it does now, not that they’re going to keep growing geometrically.
