No freaking way. How do you think that’s feasible, considering how fast depreciation goes in semiconductors?
- wmf 2y agoPork bellies also go bad but you can make money trading them. You don't even take delivery.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoare you suggesting the parent comment should be considering derivatives like agricultural product futures?
- wmf 2y agoYeah. The government could pre-pay for chips to guarantee demand then auction the futures right before the chips are manufactured.
- jjtheblunt 2y agowhat if no one buys the futures, which is entirely possible?
