McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- McWilliams suggested last spring that Next Inning readers plan to exit Entropic at a price target of $9. That target was realized in April.  Since then the price of Entropic has fallen nearly 40%.  Does McWilliams think it makes sense to buy Entropic again now that its price has fallen so much or is it best to just avoid the stock?  With new initiatives by Broadcom putting Entropic under pressure, does Entropic have viable plans to overcome the competitive threat?

-- Investors who bought NetLogic when McWilliams called the stock a good strategic investment in December 2008 will exit with a profit of over 400% upon completion of the Broadcom acquisition. Should NetLogic investors consider putting those profits into Cavium or does McWilliams think NetLogic will steamroll the much smaller competitor now that it's under Broadcom's wing?  What does McWilliams think sets Cavium apart and why is he confident in his above consensus forecasts?

-- Has the Applied Micro turnaround story been derailed or just stalled temporarily?  With Applied Micro in the middle of a business model transition, are the near-term risks for the stock above average?  Does new information about Applied Micro suggest that the company's core business is considerably more profitable than is being presented? What is McWilliams' price target for the stock and how much upside does it represent?

-- Does a balance sheet and valuation analysis suggest that QLogic offers a compelling value proposition and is trading at a bargain price?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 255% since its inception versus 41% for the S&P 500.
