Both raw positives and % positive are down a bit today (5100 and 13.6%, respectively), but the lagging surge in deaths is starting to show up.

I suppose this tidbit belongs here:

Just an FYI, but my Chinese suppliers have recently decommitted on something like a million units over the next 6 months, for stated reasons that don't add up and make zero business sense.

I have my own theories on exactly why they're unable to supply their previously committed quantities, why their factories are unable to produce the agreed-upon units.  But it's only speculation of course, because officially the CCP is still reporting, what, 4K or 5K deaths since March... in a country with a population of 1.5 billion.

Anyway, long story short-- expect extreme scarcity in computers and all consumer electronics goods over the next 12 months, with prices skyrocketing as supply falls significantly short of demand.

Merry Christmas!

If you need a new one, and want it within the next year, then... yeah.

We're running some pretty good deals, last year I bought my daughter one of our mid-level 2-in-1 touch 17" laptops for $650.  I suspect we'll run similar promos this year.

Ugh. Prices skyrocketing is good... Higher margin for the storage devices that go into those PCs.

Extreme scarcity is bad, because even if you have higher margins you may not sell enough to make up for it given that the subcomponent then becomes an oversupply situation.

Yeah, exactly.


And this is just my perspective and I don't see the whole business, but I don't like what I'm hearing right now.  The reasons for decommits don't add up, which is why I have my suspicions.

So far I haven't heard much. But we don't have nearly as much supply chain exposure to China as many others, at least not with any of the product lines I normally work with. I think retail's supply chain is heavier in China.

I don't really believe their "official" numbers over there, I'll tell you that.

You might get it out of China, but you'll not get it made here. 

It'll just move to other LCC (low cost countries).
