Aus, these usually are like an IPO, where the bankers place the stock directly with clients. jay

Aus, The underwriters are positioning the stock right now, talking to their well heeled, favored clients who will buy if they want to get a piece of the other soaring IPOs that have come out, whether they want to buy it or not. What will happen after the secondary is anyone's guess. I know one person who says that one of his primary rules is "Never buy secondaries". The last secondary that SNDK did was a bust in the aftermarket, for sure; it took almost two years for the stock to appreciate meaningfully over the secondary price. However, I don't think that this one will be quite like that one, though there may be something of a correction after it gets off. Then again, I've been predicting a correction for SNDK for several months now. What a great timer, eh? Lucky for me I keep a core position in stocks like this one no matter what my "feelings" about the stock are, that's why. However, I think that there is at least one more parabolic move in Sandisk (and perhaps more than that). I won't hazard a guess on when it might come though. Regards, Sam
