If the spot market for RAM is reasonably efficient, prices should be about as likely to fall as to increase further.

Otherwise you could make a surefire profit by just buying some RAM and waiting a few months to re-sell.

(All of this is modulo interest rates etc to finance this.)

Yes, that's why scalping is so widespread right now, because that's essentially what it is

		And all morality aside: people will scalp ever harder, until prices are as likely to go down as up. That's not just RAM, but pretty much any commodity or financial instrument.
