Check this pretty good write up about the function of a NAND controller.
linuxdevices.com

This business generally follows the NAND demand cycles< which again is consumer pattern dependent.

As for SIMI, let me check on that and I'll see what I can find out.

As for what I believe is a great longer term bet, check CAVM.
Great management, great product. Out there shopping cheap now many good opportunities run out of cash and additional funding.

Elroy,

here the essentials of what I came up with on SIMO.
The 2nd link pretty much explains how SiMo is tied into consumer behaviour patterns.

fool.com

blogs.barrons.com

prnewswire.com

Based on my gut feeling only, I would be very cautious with these guys.

So today OVTI is taking a major dive. Not to be compared to the 33% haircut over at IFX, though.
