Will the situation at Nokia get worse before it gets better? Why might the release of Microsoft's new PC operating system, Windows 8, benefit Nokia even though Nokia is not in the PC business?

What strategies does McWilliams see as valid ways for investors to cover the fiber optics sector? What is McWilliams favorite stock in the fiber optics sector and what stock does McWilliams think investors who want deeper coverage should pair with this stock?

So far, the roadmap Editor Paul McWilliams laid out for 2012 has been extremely accurate. In March, just two days before the market peaked and began its over two-month slide, he warned Next Inning readers that stock prices were peaking and a correction was headed our way. Following this, once the markets bottomed, he predicted we would see prices rally through the Q2 earnings season. As it turned out, this was one of the strongest rallies the market has seen in a very long time.

However, following the close on September 14, 2012, McWilliams published his most recent Strategy Review and, in that, predicted again that the markets were due for another drop ahead of the November election. This time he nailed the year-to-date high to the day. If you are a tech investor, you'll want to be sure to read what McWilliams predicts will happen next.

McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change.

McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech Report, a comprehensive guide for the Q3 2012 earnings season has just been published. This report covers 72 leading and emerging tech companies that are expected to generate nearly one trillion dollars in sales next year from twelve sectors ranging from materials and wafer fabrication to finished goods. This in depth report includes in-depth fundamental data and McWilliams' investment outlook, and will be available free of charge to all who sign up for a no-obligation free trial to Next Inning Technology Research.
