In raw "what is possible" terms I cannot fault you. But I really like the idea of fundamentals, and "what is likely" is a different kettle of fish.

In a sense, share prices compete with the cost of starting a new company that does the same thing. P/E ratios of 230:1 mean an increasing risk that instead of someone buying your shares, they go and start a competitor. Then everyone buys that competitor instead.

In any market there is an upper limit to the P/E ratio, and nobody wants to be the buyer who finds it. Especially if the company's income doesn't rise; because then you have to sell at a loss to recover any money.

In practice, there is also the risk of catching a collapse in the market. They happen that, once every decade or so? Great time to be able to rely on an income stream when that happens.
