I bought it at $47.31 I am buying more if it goes under $44. There is heavy support around $45. UBS cut its rating on it from Buy to Neutral. Do you know what happens when I've typically reacted to such analyst ratings? I've lost my ass. Merrill Lynch had a doozy on Dow Chemical 2 months ago. It's nearly a contrarian indicator for me. Look at it this way: Sandisk missed earnings in 3Q and lost 22% in one day. It is down about 26% now. Is that logical, given its balance sheet. I could be wrong, but I'm betting no.
SNDK has now had quite a few more bearish days--it is now down to $44. In addition, several articles came out predicting an oversupply of flash memory and they moved their target price to $48. Think I should wait for it to go back to 48 and then sell it, or should I sell it now and cut my losses? Thanks
I sold it when it was at $47.70. I know that's not very helpful, but I lost money on it, and it was just a bad bet. Who knows where it will go?

Madway SAN FRANCISCO, April 21 (Reuters) - Flash memory maker SanDisk Corp (SNDK.O) reported better-than-expected results and expressed cautious optimism about the current quarter, sending shares up 8 percent.

"Industry fundamentals improved in the first quarter," said Chief Executive Eli Harari in a statement. "We are encouraged that industry supply and demand balance is becoming better aligned, resulting in higher flash pricing." "Our outlook is cautiously optimistic for continued improvement in the second quarter." ... http://www.reuters.com/article/earningsSeason/idUSN2145110720090421
