That story holds merit, in the short term the DRAM market is very profitable as DRAM is a mature technology which is faced with supply constraints.
In the long term however considerable risk exists around new technologies which could reduce demand such as 3D-NAND which Samsung is leading (Samsung also currently have around 50% DRAM market share).
Micron has more than doubled in price since the beginning of the year and even a technology fund I'm in was talking about this and buying up Micron much earlier this year. Given we are in a thread talking about Value investing I'd suggest that you consider how much of the anticipated growth is priced in.
