In response to member inquiries, Editor Paul McWilliams wrote: “While Wall Street cut semiconductor stocks some slack as many continued to report unfavorable year-over-year comparisons through Q2, it clearly didn't like STMicro's restructuring move announced last July nor its somewhat more tepid outlook for near-term results. There's also been some criticism that STMicro's increased R&D spending has not provided a good return on investment. I tend to disagree on both points, but that's what makes a market..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- What important aspects of STMicro have been overlooked by Wall Street heading into the company’s next earnings report?

-- Is Wall Street overestimating the risks and underweighting the potential upside as Brocade attempts to realize synergies from its McData acquisition?

-- Why does McWilliams believe investors are now looking at a “new Harmonic?”

-- Why did the market not react more favorably to the announcement that Packeteer had hired a new VP of Sales and Marketing?

-- As the GPS market grows more competitive, what moves has SiRF made to stay ahead of the pack?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 302% since its inception versus 105% for the Nasdaq.
