Hi, I'm new here. Is anyone looking at the flash market? SNDK looks like it could get killed over the next year. EETimes is calling it a bloodbath:

Analyst Michito Kimura at International Data Corp. in Tokyo said that after a meteoric rise in both demand and production last year, the flash market has moved from supply scarcity to chronic oversupply. He said Samsung is ramping production even as others are deferring their own ramps or cutting back on existing production to prevent price erosion.

The Samsung move, he continued, could result in disaster for flash prices and producers - a scenario much like this year's DRAM market.

"It's a bit of a shock. The market is one of curbed demand; it's very soft. I don't think this is a good move," Kimura said.
