- Risky business
March 4, 2011 | 3:13 pmESNA’s recent DRAM article brings attention to the risk of buying on speculation. Yes, DRAM pricing is likely to have reached rock bottom or is very close to it so now would seem like a good time to stock up on DRAMs, right? The thought is when demand rises again, OEMs will have the supply they need.
