Topics discussed in McWilliams' recent reports include:

-- Cisco: Are analysts again making a mistake in their harsh judgment of Cisco following its August earnings report? With Cisco shares still well off their yearly highs, does McWilliams believe the stock is still trading at an attractive price? Is Cisco poised for above-trend growth going forward?  What specifically does McWilliams see changing for Cisco in the near term and how does he think those changes will impact the price of Cisco's stock?

-- Anadigics: What three factors constrained Anadigics' gross margin in Q2? Will these factors still be in play when Anadgicis reports its Q3 results?  McWilliams' extensive analysis of Anadigics models how this small-cap turn-around story could position itself to produce big returns for investors.

-- Alcatel-Lucent: With Alcatel-Lucent shares up sharply since McWilliams suggested buying earlier this year at $1.33, should investors consider taking profits? Has the stock now moved into overbought territory?

-- Skyworks: Is Skyworks poised to outperform the broader technology sector in upcoming quarters? Has Skyworks' once troubled acquisition of Advanced Analog turned out much better than expected? What has changed this year in the RF semiconductor market and why is it important for investors to understand this change?  What strategy does McWilliams think is the best way for tech investors to cover the RF semiconductor sector?

-- 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?
