I see nothing much wrong with a business where the chip makers running at 83% capacity with breakeven at 70%

If some of these chip companies or any other would just sit tight instead of using investors dollars in a frenzy of expansion and devote efforts to making their own factory more efficient and productive they could do much better for shareholders.
The production works out to be @ 5000 wafers processed per working day and if rough cut to 1/8 in , would mean they are sawing up 35 feet of expensive 8 in.dia silicon boules per day.
