McWilliams covers these topics and more in his latest reports:

-- China is an important market for virtually every semiconductor company, but for AMD it has a special strategic interest. What has AMD done to give it better branding power in China than it has in Western countries?  How does McWilliams expect AMD's new CEO to leverage this power?  What does McWilliams make of AMD's recent announcement that it plans to buy SeaMicro, a highly innovative data center solutions provider?  What unique technology does SeaMicro bring to the table that AMD can leverage even better than Intel?  How much upside does McWilliams' estimated fair value range for AMD represent from current prices?

-- McWilliams predicted in summer 2010 that Atmel would double and trade above $10 by year end.  As Atmel's price surged well above that mark to what McWilliams believed was a fair valuation, he suggested hedging long positions with covered calls.  Those short call contracts expired worthless and allowed investors who followed McWilliams' lead to pocket nice profits. Does McWilliams think Atmel is once again poised for another run higher? What is his current view of a fair value price? What does McWilliams think Atmel doing right and what is it doing wrong today?

-- Has Cypress returned to a leading position in touch screen controller technology after falling behind Atmel in 2010? What is the "red flag" that investors in Cypress need to be aware of?  With its price down from last year's highs, does McWilliams think it's time to buy Cypress or that it's best to continue avoiding the stock?  What is McWilliams' fair value range for Cypress?

-- In what ways has Wall Street totally missed the programmable logic paradigm and underestimated the growth potential of sector leaders Altera and Xilinx? Does McWilliams continue to believe investors should consider one or both of these stocks as core strategic investments?  In early 2010, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers Altera was positioned to outperform Xilinx.  Does he still believe that's the case for 2012 or does he think it's time to switch horses?  What data does he offer to support his opinion? Read this and much more in McWilliams' exclusive State of Tech report covering the digital semiconductor sector.

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 302% since its inception versus 54% for the S&P 500.
