Err, you realize 1. You have to go back to 2000 to find a purchase > 200B (AOL bought by Time Warner, for 182, 270B inflation adjusted). 2. The only other >200B purchase was Vodafone Airtouch plc bought by Mannesmann (281B inflation adjusted, 183B in 1999 dollars), "it happened twice" isn't routine. 3. That 270B is 1/6th of Amazon's market cap.
