McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- McWilliams encouraged readers to buy Apple last summer when the stock collapsed to nearly $300 and maintained it was destined to move above $500 in 2012.  While that has worked out well, many readers ask how they can leverage Apple's success beyond just owning shares of Apple directly. McWilliams answers this question and provides his opinion as to which Apple suppliers have the strongest and the weakest (riskiest) positions in Apple's sector leading designs.

-- In January 2011, McWilliams advised investors to avoid Power-One when it was trading above $10.  Following this, in August 2011 when Power-One was trading in the $6s, he encouraged readers to wait patiently for a dip into the $4s. Six weeks later, Power-One hit his entry target.  Given Power-One's strong Q4 report and seemingly confident outlook, does McWilliams think the stock could push on now into the $6 to $8 range? What are the downside risks to holding onto Power-One shares right now, and what hedging strategy can investors use to manage those risks and still capture much of what McWilliams sees as potential upside?

-- What is McWilliams expecting from Applied Materials' upcoming earnings report? What is the impact of recent consolidation in the semiconductor fabrication equipment sector on Applied Materials? Can investors expect Applied Material to announce that it will hike its already healthy dividend?

-- What complicated balance sheet issue has McWilliams helped Tower Semi investors better understand? Could Tower Semi be worth $3 to $4 a share even though it trades below $1 today?

-- McWilliams wrote ahead of Alcatel-Lucent's Q4 report that we should see improvements in its operating structure and, with that, improved profitability.  As we now know, the company delivered on that forecast.  Has McWilliams adjusted his view of Alcatel-Lucent following its recent earnings report? What factors could lead the stock to double or more from current levels? Does McWilliams continue to view Alcatel-Lucent as a risky bet?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 304% since its inception versus 49% for the S&P 500.
