Albert,

re: ok, then answer this why would oems / distributors would start building up inventories in the environment of fast falling prices?

Distributors have price protection.

Retail orders for back to school products get cut in early July, for shipment mid to late July. You need parts to build product now. Can't wait for the price to come down.
