So from my point of view SSTI will be one of the first to leave the NOR market.

These are my thoughts too. What are the benefits from SSTI?
The only benefits are probably, that all others are not that
keen on producing low-end stuff, but as SPSN moves to better
nodes and 300mm foundry, higher sized modules will be priced
near or equal to lower-sized DIEs, which means SSTI has to
lower prices or will not get sales -> loose market share.
This will lead to lower revs and margin pressure over time.
This has to be seen, but with more and more mirrorbit from
Spansion alone and a move towards DIEs with 90nm or better,
SSTI and the other small guys will have big problems cost
wise.

@SSTI

Some valuation comp.

SSTI = -23C last q, not much less compared to SPSN.

Total shareholders' equity = 321,761
Marketcap. = 104,198 x 2,63 = 273mio.

=> P/B = 0,85 (SSTI)
=> P/B = 0,28 (SPSN)
=> SSTI = 3x SPSN

Smells politely spoken fishy to me.
