Ausdauer,

We have all sung your praises and I know this post will probably incite some to flame. But this thread is like any other thread on SI - when YOU post a claim about a company, you can expect to be asked to back up your claim with some FACTS. You did not. Your opinion is fine and dandy Ausdauer, but state it as such and don't attempt to characterize it as anything but YOUR OPINION. There is a difference between FACTS and OPINIONS.

I point blank asked you to back up the claim YOU made: "There is no conceivable mechanism by which they (SSTI) can produce a cost-effective 64 MB embedded flash disk (ADC) with their current technology." (Ref: siliconinvestor.com Your inapt
reply is: My remarks about ADC,…, have to do with the practicality of producing a final product with low density technology. I will leave the burden of proof to you.!!! LEAVE THE BURDEN OF PROOF ON ME? YOU are the one stating some opinion as fact! I have seen disingenuousness before, but this is…who are you kidding? Stamina is a fine attribute ("ausdauer" = stamina) but in the game of investing, stamina is no substitute for understanding.
So then we can both agree that you are unable or perhaps unwilling to provide any facts supporting your erroneous claim.

You next go on to claim that the press spokesman for SSTI is a liar: (ref: Message 14090258 ), Sam Nakhimovsky speak with forked tongue... Fork Tongue???…Wait a minute Mr. Stamina - who is lying to whom? I think you need to write to Mr. Nakhimovsky and apologize. And I think you need to reevaluate both his position and your own. I understand you want SNDK's share price to rise, and so do I (and most of us reading this thread, shorts be damned !!!) , but calling someone a liar with NOTHING to back it up is just a little less than honest. Doesn't honesty count? His point was (if I may take a stab at it!), in case you really missed it - was that currently consumers are choosing removable flash cards because the data exchange is easier and upgrading is easier. Nakhimovsky :"Consumers, however, quickly showed their preference for removable flash cards, which make data exchange easy. In addition, flash cards provide simple operation and the ability to upgrade to higher capacities." What he and the CEO of SSTI both said is that as other technologies evolve, (ex: Bluetooth) these advantages may well diminish and in fact be supplanted with even easier technologies that the consumer embraces. Research what he said! Certainly nothing here for you to be calling anyone a liar about.

Anyway, to be honest Ausdauer I am here to make money - I appreciate all the contributions everyone has made to this thread and I also love the way you cheer lead the thread on and on and on and on…stamina is good. But please - if you make one of your famous claims, be prepared to be challenged to present some facts to go with it and use a little more discretion in your accusations and calling people liars.

Good luck and
Good bye,
Eric
