Samsung makes record chip earnings
 

Samsung Electronics saw record chip earnings which meant it could gloss over the Note 7 smartphone fiasco in the fourth quarter.

The outfit, which is involved in an influence-peddling scandal surrounding President Park Geun-hye, said it expects profit growth in 2017, despite challenges arising from political uncertainty.

The political uncertainty appears to be whether the South Korean government will make Samsung executives accountantable for the scam. So far, the smart money is that it will probably not do that.
