McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Why might Juniper be a likely winner as a result of Cisco's move into the server sector and Hewlett-Packard's planned acquisition of 3Com? What is a fair value price for Juniper?

-- What trends does McWilliams think will drive demand for Cisco and Hewlett-Packard? Does he think these trends will accelerate or slow in 2010? Are both Cisco and Hewlett-Packard trading at the low end of their fair value range?

-- Are EMC and VMware protected from the turmoil impacting a number of firms in the data center sector as big players move in? Why might VMware investors be better off gaining exposure to VMware via an investment in EMC?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 213% since its inception versus 23% for the S&P 500.
