Topics discussed in McWilliams' recent reports include:


    --  SanDisk: In July 2012, when SanDisk was trading at $36.48, McWilliams
        told investors that SanDisk was deeply undervalued and he set a $70
        price target.  SanDisk hit McWilliams' $70 target last October, but has
        been unable to break through resistance.  Does McWilliams think SanDisk
        will break through this resistance when it reports Q4 results later this
        month, or is it time for investors to take profits?  What is different
        about the demand elasticity for NAND Flash memory when compared to DRAM
        and why is this difference an important fact for memory investors to
        consider today?  What is the ultimate potential demand for NAND Flash,
        and under the right conditions, what has McWilliams set as an estimated
        full value price range for the stock?
    --  Qualcomm: After years of cycle-trading Qualcomm, McWilliams advised Next
        Inning readers in 2010 when Qualcomm dipped into the $30s that it was
        time to buy shares with the intent to hold them for the long run. 
        Thanks to subsequent option hedges proposed by McWilliams, subscribers
        who followed his recommendations now have a cash exposure basis in the
        mid-$20s on their Qualcomm shares and have pocketed nice call premiums
        and dividends. Does McWilliams expect Qualcomm to continue to dominate
        the high-end smartphone market for the foreseeable future? Can Qualcomm
        develop a meaningful position in the entry level smartphone market
        against competitors like MediaTek? Does McWilliams expect Qualcomm to
        report above expectations when it next reports earnings?  What one
        specific risk factor at Samsung should Qualcomm investors consider as we
        head into earnings season?
    --  Skyworks: McWilliams encouraged Next Inning readers to consider buying
        Skyworks when the stock fell into the high-teens in Q4 2012 and
        accurately predicted its earnings growth in 2013.  Is Skyworks poised to
        outperform the broader technology sector in upcoming quarters? What has
        changed this year in the RF semiconductor market and why is it important
        for investors to understand this change?  Does McWilliams expect
        Skyworks to report above expectations when it reports earnings?
    --  AMD: McWilliams suggested buying AMD in late 2012 when the stock slipped
        below $2.  Up now more than 100%, is it time for investors to take
        profits or does he think the company will continue to build traction
        with its new strategies in 2014?
    --  Linear Technology: McWilliams suggested buying Linear Technology at the
        then current price of $28.75 in mid-2012.  As it turned out, this was
        just one day before Linear Tech hit its 52-week low. Wall Street
        subsequently recognized the value of Linear Tech's business model, and
        pushed its price up to a 12-year high last month.  What led McWilliams
        to classify Linear Tech as a "strategic investment" in 2012 when Wall
        Street apparently wanted nothing to do with the stock?  And now, given
        its sharp run-up, has the stock moved above what McWilliams thinks is a
        sustainable valuation?
