Re :Data storage flash to be in short supply through 2004!!!
This is excellent news for SNDK shareholders.
Let's hope demand stays high and pricing remains "benign".


Not so sure I agree its good news Aus. While supply is constrained, Sandisk is unable to sell as many units as it could otherwise make, and there is a maximum price that people will pay, whatever the shortage, limiting profits and growth.

Also, while pricing remains high, purchases will be lower than otherwise. For example, I may well buy 3 extra CF cards at say $25 each whereas I wont buy one at $75, I'll make do with what I have. Obviously there must be a 'sweet spot' somewhere , where profits and growth are maximised, and I have a suspicion that its more towards the greater supply end of the spectrum than where we currently are.

Just my 2c
