Henky : I believe that the basic physical strength of the Shin-Etsu Chemical company is certain. However, stock prices rose only because of performance, but while PVC sales were the main force and there was a strong sense of uncertainty about that outlook, it was incomprehensible that only stock prices showed a bullish pattern.
