McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What two factors have led fiber optic stocks like Oclaro, JDS-Uniphase and Finisar to outperform this year? What is unique about the business models of these companies, and why did it lead to a consolidation phase in the industry? Following this consolidation phase in fiber optics, how are Oclaro, JDS-Uniphase and Finisar different and how do they compete with one another?

-- How was Oclaro impacted by the flooding in Thailand last year, and how will this impact be reflected in Oclaro's earnings report today? Does McWilliams view Oclaro as having the most potential upside compared to its fiber optics peers? Even after moving up 50% in a short period, could Oclaro shares double from here in the near term?

-- Has Cisco taken notable market share from Juniper and China-based firms ZTE and Huawei? Based on McWilliams' balance sheet and earnings analysis, could Cisco shares rally by 75% or more in 2012?

-- Did Juniper make a mistake by moving away from merchant silicon in favor of an ASIC solution in its MX 3D? Is Juniper in a good position to leverage its large stash of cash to acquire companies that will help fuel its growth? Why hasn't Juniper made any significant acquisitions? Might Juniper instead by acquired by another firm? Which tech giant would make the most sense as a potential acquirer of Juniper?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 295% since its inception versus 46% for the S&P 500.
