<<Rocky, tell us why SSTI with the Q agreement today is not a better buy than SNDK at the current market cap to sales ratio. >>

Well, would SSTI's (-31%) profit margin have anything to do with it?

But seriously, SSTI's chart looks great, and might be a good short term momentum play. But how long can a company bleed like this and still stay above water (did anyone say SYQT?) Losses of almost $22 Million last year on $77 Million sales- Book Value, $1.37.

BUt I wish them well, flash competition will surely help bring prices down farther and farther faster and faster. OEM's love this because the cost to include flash tech is so low, and they can keep their price points down.

Darrell,

The SSTI super flash is an embedded flash memory designed into a microcontroller IC. This has many advantages over older burn once-only on board memory technologies. It is not a removable flash storage card like compact flash or the multi-media card. However, SSTI does manufacture compact flash cards also.
