If it is too available prices would drop, they are in no hurry to have that
happen!

Dean, please fix your date, or you have that virus that changes it to avoid
the anti-virus programs.

Hi Jay,
I too would like more information.
As best I understand it, I have no actual source data, there are six
silicon refineries in the world, with 1 or 2 coming on line this year.
Earlier this year there was a rapid expansion of both the semiconductor
and solar PV markets, which led to a supply problem.
That supply problem is supposed to ease this year, but information is
difficult to come by.
I recall tripping over a silicon trading marketplace on the web last
year, but cannot find a current reference for that.

Does anyone else have better information on this subject??
