   In his State of Tech Report, McWilliams wrote: "I predicted
mid-year that Intel would trend towards reporting pro forma operating
margins at or above 25%. Little did I know then that we would see that
and more from Intel's Q3 report. However, it appears today that Wall
Street is content to all but ignore the story. The net result is
that..."

   McWilliams also looks at these topics:

   -- After boiling it all down, what two factors does McWilliams
think will drive Intel going forward? What has McWilliams said about
recent Intel downgrades?

   -- Why does McWilliams think programmable logic companies will
improve their competitive position going forward? Does McWilliams
think Xilinx is the best buy in the programmable logic sector today?
Read his detailed State of Tech report on programmable logic that
covers the five market leaders to find out his favorite large and
small cap pick in the sector.

   -- McWilliams suggested investors' hedge Linear Tech positions
with in-the-money covered calls when the stock was trading just under
$40. Now that it is down about 25% does he think its time to cover
short calls and accumulate shares? What short-term risk does he see
for Linear Tech?

   -- Should investors bank on Microchip's track record and consider
adding shares on recent weakness?

   -- Does McWilliams expect Intel's forthcoming results to provide a
trading opportunity for investors interested in Intersil?

   Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has
returned 260% since its inception versus 91% for the Nasdaq.
