Editor Paul McWilliams' recent reports cover the following topics and more:

• Cree:  Why did it make sense for Cree to move as strongly as it has into the fixture industry?  Why does the use of LEDs change the game in the fixture industry and provide vertically integrated companies like Cree with unique leverage points?  Does McWilliams believe LED technology will eventually take over the lighting industry?
• Intel:  Are analysts right that we're in a "post-PC" market?  If so, is it really bad news for Intel?  What new computing products will hit the market later this month that will have "Intel Inside?"  Are there risks associated with Intel guiding in line with analysts' expectations for Q4 2012?  Does McWilliams think Intel will top both those estimates as well as the full-year 2013 earnings estimate?  What does McWilliams view as a "full-value" price target for Intel?
• Mellanox: In July 2012, McWilliams predicted Mellanox would move above $100.  It took about a week for the stock to realize the target, but it subsequently sailed to a high above $120 before dropping back.  Are recent valuation concerns about Mellanox warranted or does McWilliams see more upside ahead for this growth story? Does McWilliams see Mellanox moving beyond that recent high above $120 or is that level now a good target for selling?
• Linear Technology: Does Linear Tech stand to benefit from growing semiconductor content in the automotive and medical sectors? Why is this a very big deal for Linear Technology?  What is different and unique about Linear Tech's core business model? What led McWilliams to select Linear Tech as one of the highest weighted stocks in his "Triple Crown" tech stock portfolio?
• Xilinx: McWilliams advised Next Inning readers that Xilinx would outperform Altera during 2012 and 2013.  This was a big change for McWilliams, who predicted Altera would outperform Xilinx in both 2010 and 2011, which proved to be the case.  So far, his decision to switch to Xilinx has proven to be correct.  Do long-term trends favor Xilinx and the programmable logic market?  What is Xilinx's weighting in McWilliams' "Triple Crown" tech stock portfolio that is designed to deliver dividend yield, value and growth?  Did Xilinx's competitor Altera make the cut?

So far, the roadmap Editor Paul McWilliams laid out for 2012 has been extremely accurate.  In March, just two days before the market peaked and began its over two-month slide, he warned Next Inning readers that stock prices were peaking and a correction was headed our way.  Following this, once the markets bottomed, he predicted we would see prices rally through the Q2 earnings season.  As it turned out, this was one of the strongest rallies the market has seen in a very long time.

However, following the close on September 14, 2012, McWilliams published his most recent Strategy Review and, in that, predicted again that the markets were due for another drop ahead of the November election.  This time he nailed the year-to-date high to the day.  If you are a tech investor, you'll want to be sure to read what McWilliams predicts will happen next.

McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change.

McWilliams' highly acclaimed earnings previews are no being published, providing critical intelligence on dozens of tech sector firms ahead of their quarterly earnings reports. The reports, which identify the quarter's likely winners and losers, are available for free to Next Inning trial subscribers.

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 220% since its inception versus 58% for the S&P 500.
