In his exclusive "State of Tech" report, McWilliams looks at these topics:

-- McWilliams warned readers in 2007 about the risks facing Intersil due to its heavy exposure to the PC industry and the emerging competition it was facing. Now trading for a fraction of the price it was then, is the cash-rich company a good investment or still a fairly speculative play?

-- What three factors have led Cree to report lower gross margins during recent quarters than it did several years ago? What major light bulb manufacturer is using Cree LEDs in the incandescent replacement bulbs it is putting on the shelves of major retailers?

-- Maxim is currently paying a dividend in excess of 6.5%, one of the highest in the tech industry. Does McWilliams think it is sustainable?

-- McWilliams once held a bullish view of Microchip. Why did he suggest readers avoid the stock in December?

-- Why might ON Semi be a candidate to double from current prices in 2009?

-- Is National Semi well positioned to capitalize on emerging "green" trends this year?

-- What technology stocks are likely to double or triple in 2009 from current levels?

-- Which stocks, among the 75 tech stocks he covers, does McWilliams classify as speculative, strategic or avoid? What are the upsides and risks facing the stocks?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 137% since its inception versus 19% for the Nasdaq.
