"Sandisk is poised for strong steady stock appreciation." Poised. Oh no! -g- Not POISED! THE killer word. Paul Senior Rule #7: Anytime you see investment conclusions which include "that word" anywhere in the writing ... walk briskly away. Anybody who invests based on 'poised' is going to be poisoned. All imo, of course. -g- Paul Senior

With the Lexar litigation still unresolved but likely to go in favor of SNDK, this would NOT be the time to take profits. With the latest earnings to be released shortly, giving us an opportunity to study not only net income but revenues and sources of revenues, this is another reason NOT to sell. If the above news is favorable and the stock goes up faster than the overall market, THEN a conservative investor might want to consider locking in profits through the sale of covered call options with an expiration date at least three months in advance and a striking price slightly above whatever is the market price after the favorable news. If the news is not so favorable, then the preferred strategy is simpler - just hang in there.
