ace111 ( Score Rank: #621 based on predictions in the last 30 days ) ace111  |  will close on 01-Jan-2009 (39 days from now)
So the big rumor SanDisk is talking about is the one where Samsung buys them, and royally screws over Toshiba. If this happens Samsung will be the top dog in flash memory. Will this happen?

    Samsung Electronics on Oct. 22 withdrew its $5.85 billion bid to buy SanDisk, citing a declining value of U.S. memory card maker in the face of a supply glut in the memory chip market. The news came hardly as a surprise as SanDisk sought a higher price while there were no signs its business would improve any time soon after it reported a third quarter loss. source: http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz...

    Pardon my ignorance, but I have a question: does Toshiba currently own any of the flash memory companies? Why would Samsung be able to damage Toshiba by acquiring SanDisk?

      Toshiba has something to do with the Flash card industry:
      http://www.reuters.com/article/techno...

      Analysts said an acquisition could shift the balance of power in the flash memory industry away from Japan's Toshiba (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), which trails Samsung in the flash market but plans to nearly double its chip production capacity in partnership with SanDisk.
