Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of computer and gadget memory specialist SanDisk (Nasdaq: SNDK) look hot today as they've risen 10.1% on above-average trading volume.

So what: SanDisk's second quarter made fun of Wall Street expectations with 17% year-over-year revenue growth and 11% higher earnings. The company was able to overcome ever-lower product prices with dramatically higher unit sales.

Now what: In particular, SanDisk likes what's going on in retail channels of emerging markets where the company claims to be stealing market share from Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU), Samsung, and Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK), to name a few of the most prominent Flash-card producers. In fact, SanDisk's average prices might be declining a little slower than most as the company augments its commodity products with a healthy helping of premium memory products like embedded RAM chips. And the recent supply glut in all kinds of memory markets may be receding as SanDisk actually claims to have trouble keeping up with demand now.
