100x increase in earning?
Not so difficult, find those losing money company previously that turn into profit, it just means indefinite in maths calculation from - to +.
Even JCY itself report a surge of >2000% increase in profit on 8 Feb 2012.
Did the share price increase on that day? (In fact price drop on that day)
It is price in way before the profit announcement.
I am not fortune teller, how should I know how high and low the share price will be?
I just pointed that the turn around in profit figure due to surge in HDD price and hardly being affected by flood, more and less being "price in" in the market.
HDD price remain high until 2014?
Only time will tell.
It may not fall back to previous low price prior before flooding, but HDD remains the same price as today until 2014? I highly doubt so.
Personally view, HDD business just temporary has a lifting due to shortage due to flood, it is not a long term trend.
With PC sales is lackluster, I don't see very rosy picture for HDD. Unless those flood hit factories are totally shut down, and not wish to resume operation. Then it is another story.
The hot item out there is Ipad and tablet, and those are not using HDD.
And tablet market has more and less eaten the laptop and PC business.
People are more keen on Ipad and tablet instead of laptop.
Not to forget, HDD in PC market also facing challenge from SSD, although at current stage, not a big threat (yet).
I strongly believe that HDD price is recover since last year and the price of HDD is slowly going down.
We'll see on April JCY will up or down. Prolly sell your JCY before April comes?
