Demand for the product. And they are profitable at that range. Nothing different then I said in my earlier postings.

To clarify I am not saying take out does not effect the bettors bottom line.

Simple business:

Fixed costs and variable costs of operating the plant. Price reductions do not guarantee or generate more profit or guarantee enough income to cover costs. I have illustrated the above many times.

It is all about the demand. Price does not drive demand, demand drives price.

You have it backwards and the idea of corresponding increase in income equaling price reduction is a faulty premise.
