derek, thanks for the site with memory prices. I never thought
I'd root for higher prices but I am. Higher DRAM, higher oil!

Briefing.com seems to have the right, cautious outlook...

briefing.com

Earnings season around the corner...
While there are those who expect a buy-on-the-fact-rally, Briefing maintains that the numbers will prove unsettling - especially given the slowing growth at industry leaders such as Microsoft, Intel and Applied Materials... We also expect many companies (even those
meeting this qtrs numbers) to warn that future results will be imperiled by Asia's deepening crisis. <snip>

Expect earnings downgrades to be a recurring theme for this group [semi equip] over the next few months... As such any gains will prove limited and short-lived... <snip>

Looking at the big memory price picture, I'm afraid it doesn't look TOO stable... :-)

Nonetheless, I too am long on AMAT. Cheap memory means that people are buying some really nice video cards now, etc... I know memory's price is important, but couldn't readily available memory be a catalyst for development of other chip-intensive products?
