Justa; forget the Folly of forcasting Korea! Spend your time at the front of the semi food chain. For the 3rd time; Korea is NOT the problem. Global Supply/Demand for semi's and semi equilibrium prices are the Grinch that took semi stock margins to Whoville! Subsequently, semi margins are taking equipment spending , margins and shareholder returns to Whoville. This process takes 12 months; minimum! However, DRAM prices lead the fundamentals of equips out of Whoville. Semi stocks and equips correlate nicely with DRAM prices. This is because 50% of global equipment spending is targeted at commodity chips. As prices rise, margins rise and Whoville regains the spoils of Christmas (Christmas 98). Remember, this is a global semi economy with global supply and demand. This is not a Korean semi economy. While Korea is important at 35% of Global DRAM capacity; global capacity rules and DRAM prices perfectly reflect the global supply/demand relationship. The Grinch will return with presents aplenty! However, Greed (capacity) and Speed (Moores Law) influence capital spending! :) Jay
