Hi Cary, A risk section without any attempt to quantify the risk is just legal boiler plate to cover his ass and not very useful. Are you suggesting that risks that are properly identified but not quantified are not worthwhile to look at and should be ignored? Do you think, all types of risks are easy to quantify? SNDK might very well join companies, like QCOM and QLGC, that I don't buy because I can't identify sustainable competitive advantages, yet continue to execute at a very high level. If you come across technology company that have a "sustainable competitive advantage" over the "long-term" I would like to know. I would also like to know how you define "long-term" because it is being used very loosely and it is a very relative term. Whatever little education I have had in Finance has taught me that every company on this planet has basically four phases- Startup, Growth, Maturity and Decline. Now, its a different story that some companies have a Growth and Maturity period that could last several decades but ultimately every company has a Decline phase. I do believe, and it is possible that I am wrong and it won't be the first time that I have been wrong neither the last time that I have been wrong, that Sandisk is still in its Growth phase. -Pam
