Jay - "Current 16 meg ASPs are at $2.5 to $3.20 for SDRAM. Hence,
at prevailing prices MU is already losing money with a 15% premium over all other DRAM suppliers."

Well, this assumes that the prices stay down that low, and I suspect that they won't. They will probably rebound somewhat, for a while as soon as S. Korea stops unloading their inventory for cash. By the time that they sink down to this level again I suspect MU will have moved forward a notch.

"Clark; would you buy bonds of Fabs operating at a loss to fund .25 Micron capacity, hence, doubling the supply of SDRAM at todays and possibly lower prices?"

Yes, actually I was considering buying some MU (I don't do bonds, generally). I expect that they will have gained considerable market share by next upturn, and I expect that upturn to be VERY profitable just as it was after Japan exited the DRAM field.
