(Nasdaq: OCZ), SMART Modular Technologies (Nasdaq: SMOD), STEC

NeoPhotonics (NYSE: NPTN).
Next Inning editor Paul
McWilliams has leveraged a decades-long career as a
semiconductor industry insider to deliver in-depth insights and
winning stock selections for his newsletter subscribers.
McWilliams' Next Inning model portfolio is approaching the
"five-bagger" level, returning nearly 400% since its inception in
2002. Next Inning free trial subscribers will have access to
new buy alerts in the model portfolio as McWilliams identifies
fresh profit opportunities during the current market pause.
Many investors are rightfully worried today about the impacts of
disturbances in the Middle East
and Northern Africa.
McWilliams laid out his thoughts on these and other
international and domestic events that are impacting the markets in
his updated Strategy Review last week. This is a must-read
report for all investors.
In addition to a new strategy review, trial subscribers will
also have access to McWilliams' exclusive solid state drive (SSD)
report covering OCZ, SMART, STEC, and other names in this hot
sector, as well as an optical networking report covering JDS
Uniphase, Finisar, and other competitors in this booming segment.
Trial subscribers also gain access to the highly acclaimed
State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage
of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which
stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent
reports:
-- Are OCZ, SMART and STEC poised to see explosive growth as
NAND Flash prices decrease and solid state storage drives become
the mainstream storage technology?
-- What sort of value proposition do OCZ, SMART, and STEC offer?
Do these firms have sufficiently durable differentiation to
grow profit margins and stave off bigger competitors?
-- In 2009, McWilliams noted that STEC had negotiated highly
favorable NAND Flash contracts that allowed it produce gross profit
margins above 50% and that it was time to buy STEC at its then
current mid-single-digit price. However, when STEC moved to the
mid-$30s, he advised Next Inning readers the margins wouldn't hold
and that it was time to sell the stock. The price of STEC
subsequently dropped to the low double digits where McWilliams
suggested it was time to buy again. Does McWilliams expect
STEC to move back into the mid-$30s or higher? Should
investors consider buying STEC again now, or will the firm's strong
margins fade over time?
-- Wall Street sold off Marvell with a vengeance following its
weak report and even weaker guidance last week. Does
McWilliams think the sell-off was justified or that it presents a
good buying opportunity? In a special in-depth report that
was published yesterday, McWilliams evaluates Marvell on a
sector-by-sector basis and provides a detailed forecast and deep
value analysis. He will also be online today to respond to
reader questions.
-- Marvell is the SSD controller supplier for both Micron and
Intel. What other opportunities does Marvell have brewing in
the SSD market? Does McWilliams think smartphones and tablets
will move away from using unmanaged NAND Flash and start using
sophisticated SSD controllers? What will drive this shift in
demand? Is Marvell well positioned not only to profit from
this shift, but to leverage it to sell other products?
-- Is recent IPO NeoPhotonics a likely winner in the hot optical
networking space? What do investors need to know about the
dynamics of the optics sector before investing in NeoPhotonics?
Founded in September 2002, Next
