This stock will take off as soon as the analysts start to follow and give higher earning prospects and institution buying takes place.

"I just want the stock to go up in a non-decreasing function like manner" YOU'RE DREAMING, buddy. Human psychology, and therefore markets, as well as life in general, don't work thataway. Dave

>>I will settle with consistent 10% per month gain for next few years. Remember that greed killed the money. In the market that takes we-never-made-money-so-far companies like Amazon.com and AOL to dizzy heights, why is this stock so undiscovered?<< My (amateur) theory is that companies like AOL and Amazon have a narrowly defined single product that people can easily relate to and understand. The 'problem' with Sandisk is that people have to spend some time understanding what flashram is and what it can do before they can understand the growth potential and differentiate Sandisks products from what may appear to be (or are) competing products. With successive (hopefully :-) ) improving financial statements, people will start to realise that there is something there but basically I think Sandisk is a longer term investment. The significant risk involved (IMHO and assuming competent financial, legal and r&d management within Sandisk) is obviously that a competing product or new technology ( e.g. holographic optical memory) may come along and sweep up the applications before the current potential value is realised in stock price. This means that a close watch is required on potential competitors (both traditional and non-traditional). >>By the way, did you know that smell can be recorded digitally on CompactFlash? A 20M CompactFlash can store three difference perfumes and can be indefinitely not only stored but also reproduced, thus eliminating the need to buy any more perfumes. Unlike ordinary perfume, CompactFlash can not only add/mix perfumes but also subtract one from the other, extracting the "essence" or difference or uniqueness of each perfume. This will pose a serious competition for perfume makers and there will be a congressional hearing about fragrance duplication protection law.<< ROFL! Gary

James, thanks for the 'wonderful', I think Rex will appreciate too. Not kidding, we already mentionned what you call 'the latest development about the cell phone business' in our write-up. Indeed we did not hype the stock. Do we need that? Let us people continue to load up this $200 stock for $28, thank you. As regards money manager's knowledge that the company is great and trades on Nasdaq, be sure that many already know it. Also, be confident that our report has been read by interested people. Remember that SI represents 70% of all financial discussions on the Net! And SI is the most reknowned forum! "Patience is a virtue" "Wealth comes to he who waits" (after having bought SNDK!) Thanks for the perfume announcement, ROFL! The best ever on SNDK thread. Jerome
