They plan to raise prices 50%, then they raise prices 50%.

My employer isn't any better. We raised prices on our second biggest product line about 6 months ago.

Article says SSD manufacturers currently sell at a loss & intend to raise prices because they want to be profitable, 40% is break even, 50% is profitable

Selling at a loss? Lol yeah sure they are.

Actually a common practice to gain a leg up in the market and kill the competition. This can drag on for long, but the endgame is always buyers getting screwed by a monopoly/oligopoly.

Maybe they should cut the executive class salaries. Bet there is plenty of money there.
