McWilliams covers these topics and more in his latest reports:

-- McWilliams suggested readers consider buying Akamai last June on the day the stock dipped slightly below $29.  With its price now up 25%, does he see further appreciation or does he think it's time to take some profits like he suggested doing in February when the price of Akamai jumped to over $40?  In a special report, McWilliams covers two important changes in the Akamai equation that he believes positions Akamai to leverage its inherent strengths and expand into new markets.  What are these strengths and markets and why does McWilliams think Akamai will do better than competitors like Limelight and Internap?  What is the one real competitive threat McWilliams thinks will be disruptive for Akamai in some of its core markets?

-- After calling a sell for Micron in early 2010 when the stock was trading in the $11s, McWilliams resolutely suggested staying on the sidelines; that is, until recently.  With DRAM prices still in the tank and Micron reporting substantial losses, why does McWilliams think it's time to look at Micron again?  Given the rise in the price of Micron this year does McWilliams think investors should continue to buy or does he have a specific price target for accumulation?

-- McWilliams suggested exiting SanDisk in the middle of last year when it was trading for $48, and then he pointed out an opportunity for investors to get back into the stock when it weakened in the second half.  Does McWilliams think SanDisk's lowered Q1 guidance is indicative of what's to come in 2012 or just a soft spot similar to what other semiconductor companies are experiencing? What is his longer term outlook for SanDisk and price target he thinks the stock will hit later this year.

-- Trial subscribers will find brief comments in McWilliams' monthly semiconductor report addressing these and other questions for Micron and SanDisk and a much more complete analysis published during the coming week in his highly acclaimed State of Tech report covering the digital semiconductor sector.
