Regarding SanDisk, I've got a serious case of the blues ( margin call due on Oct.22) and would appreciate guidance as a medium term investor (4 to 6 months.)

Some disturbing numbers on demand:
1. Average estimate for 3Q revenues was for 456 M. The actual was 408, a decrease of 10.52%.
2. Actual 2Q royalties were 42.0 M. Actual 3Q royalties were 42.9 M. Estimate for 4Q of 30 to 35 M.

Concerning supply:
Sndk estimated product gross margins for 3Q of 30 to 32%. Actual was 29%. (Actual for 2Q was 35%.) Guidance for 4Q of 27 to 30%.

I invested in this company because I believed that demand would rise sequentially every quarter during 2004.
Can you please provide a realistic target price through, say, Jan. 20,2005? Or, anything to make me feel better?
Thanks for your experience on this intelligent board - unlike Yahoo!
