Jake,
Re: Commerce Department Tuesday levied final Dynamic RAM dumping duties.

Now MU has an excuse to raise its' prices on DRAM, they overproduce
to maintain market share which forces their competition to
overproduce also, then they whine that someone is dumping. This causes
tariffs/fines to be imposed which artificially raises prices and
then MU can raise its' prices without the additional "taxation
penalty" and reap the additional "profit margins" at the further
expense of foreign competition and the US consumer/computer market.

If the US market becomes more un-profitable to foreign DRAM mfgs'
then it will likely hasten the demise of more DRAM fabs.

Just my opinion,
BB

Micron, who as one of the largest employers in Idaho has a fair amount of political clout, is not interested in seeing its tax dollars go to bail out its competitors. Can't say that I blame them.
