Here we go again
This time SK Hynix is lagging in qualification
Remember back in march when MUs memory was too slow for Rubin and it was sold off?
SK Hynix hires the smartest people in Korea and has the best compensation packages to retain talent, they will find a way
This is the third time this year I will be making this trade, swapped out MU when the gap was large, will wait for the bleeding to stop and swap again
