One more thing to watch for: after the close today, Solectron, the largest contract manufacturer, reports. They typically provide a glimpse into the availability of components like flash chips and capacitors. They have cited shortages in these components in their past 3 or 4 CCs. What they say could affect SST and other flash companies tomorrow--whether or not SST is really one of their suppliers.

The other thing to worry about--how much double ordering is going on? Whenever there are shortages, companies double order to try to ensure future supply. This leads to an inventory buildup which has to be worked off after supply/demand come into better balance. I hope that SST has some insight into how much of this is going on, and how much inventory is being built by their customers.
