I have been following SNDK for a while, but this is my first post. I have not invested in it yet, due to the fact that the FLASH chips and cards are commodity items. I have been attracted by the patent protections, which I think are enforceable. Having said that, if Sandisk is going to be a pure royalty based company, It is not clear even with royalties are 2-4X current rates that SNDK would be a good investment. I see problems ahead for next 6-9 months as Flash prices continue to bottom and folks sell product at a loss. I doubt if you have seen the bottom yet. Just my thoughts as I lurk in the background.
