RE: "I looked at how SNDK fared in the last 9 years (why 9 years because there was no SNDK before that!) along with your proposed names and I think SNDK did just fine."

And one picture is worth a 1000 words and a lifetime of analysis. SNDK did more than just fine, it was the leader. I don't know what conclusion to draw from the picture. Maybe, it is that the market is always right.

RE: "Samsung as the Gorilla of Nand flash business (at least for now) and it could do a lot of damage to SNDK and others if they decided to..."

What is the relationship between SNDK's IP and Samsung's IP? What kind of damage could Samsung do?

Speaking of risks, I would put the following (from the 10-K) as being above the chance of a terrorist attack:

FlashVision’s stated life will terminate in December 2016, but may be terminated by Toshiba or by us by notice given from May 16, 2008 to May 15, 2009.

I wonder what the termination terms would be -- but doesn't this sound as if Toshiba could cut Sandisk off on a whim? Could Sandisk withhold licenses of its IP in such an event?
