> But here's a CEO saying he's going to make sure prices stay high enough, long enough that you can spin up a competitor
Where does he say he's going to make sure prices stay high?
"We will produce as many Oreo's as we can, but soon Oreo supply will be much tighter than ever before"
- Oreo CEO, suggesting you to buy every Oreo you can get
Not to be snarky, but the CEO is saying that the supply will be tight for years. I know Econ 101 is over simplified but I do recall that when you reduce supply and demand stays constant, or increases, the price goes up.
Micron is a trillion dollar company. The CEO would never say something like that directly. He's talking in the "business dialect" of English and you have to read between the lines a bit.
