Michael Burry: Alphabet is considering issuing 100-year bonds. The last time this happened was in 1997, with Motorola, which was the last year Motorola was considered a "great company." In early 1997, Motorola was among the top 25 companies in the US by market capitalization and revenue, but it never regained those positions. Motorola's corporate brand value was the most valuable in the US, even surpassing Microsoft. However, in 1998, Nokia overtook Motorola in the mobile phone market, and with the introduction of the iPhone, Motorola was completely eclipsed in consumer perception. Currently, Motorola ranks 232nd in market capitalization and has annual revenue of approximately $11 billion.
