World-wide recession.

The spot price (commodities auction) for memory chips fell BELOW 
their actual manufacturing cost.  Some of the companies are now on 
the rocks, near filing for bankruptcy.  They're asking their 
governments for multi-billion-dollar bailouts.

I think you're going to see much much higher prices shortly.
