As investors watched portfolios bleed red Thursday, the Next Inning portfolio gained over 2% with four out of seven stocks posting gains. Which stocks does McWilliams hold in this portfolio and why does he think the best is yet to come?

In his July 13th State of Tech report covering fabrication and test equipment manufacturers, McWilliams suggested that investors hold positions in Applied Materials, but sit this earnings season out when it comes to Teradyne. Since making that call, Teradyne has declined nearly 11% and Applied has appreciated over 5%. What reasoning did he share with subscribers to support these opinions?

Ahead of earnings reports for QuickLogic and Harmonic, McWilliams shared his reasons for accumulating shares. Both companies reported in line with his thinking and both stocks went up Thursday in spite of nasty market conditions. In the detailed reports published following these earnings reports, McWilliams provided subscribers with his thoughts as to what he thinks will happen next.

Lexus LS Edges Cadillac DTS for Top Overall Vehicle

CAMPBELL, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- PRIMEDIA's IntelliChoice.com, the online source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis, and AutoPacific, the industry source for owner satisfaction rankings, today announced the results of their second annual Motorist Choice Awards for model year 2007, with Toyota and GM coming in as the big winners. Toyota scored winners in eight segments, including the overall winner, Lexus LS, while GM followed in second with five segment winners, including the Cadillac DTS and GMC Yukon XL.

The Motorist Choice Awards were designed by AutoPacific and IntelliChoice.com to recognize the vehicles that delivered both the highest customer satisfaction and the lowest cost of ownership. The awards take AutoPacific's owner satisfaction data from new car and truck buyers and combine those data with IntelliChoice.com's rating methodology to create a new kind of award that speaks to both the hearts and wallets of car buyers.

"This year's roster of winners earned their place by challenging vehicles often recognized for their quality and value," said James Bell, publisher of IntelliChoice.com. "While Japanese manufacturers garnered a majority of the 25 vehicle segments, the 2007 Cadillac DTS checked in as the top overall large luxury car. GM also showed well by scoring top honors in both the large light-duty and heavy-duty truck segments with the Chevrolet Silverado."

"Those who monitor the industry closely are probably not surprised by the performance of the Cadillac DTS," said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. "Across all segments, the DTS came in a close second to the overall winner Lexus LS, and it was the top ranked vehicle overall in AutoPacific's recently announced Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. It's a car that can definitely challenge the other elite brands."

Peterson added that any vehicle scoring 700 or higher in the Motorist Choice Awards can be considered in the top tier of highly desirable cars or trucks. "There were 25 outstanding vehicles scoring 700 or better," said Peterson. "Some vehicles scored high but didn't make the list because they lost out to other high-scoring vehicles in their segment. These include the Lexus GS, Lincoln Town Car, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Acura RL, BMW 5-Series, BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz GL450, Chevrolet Suburban, Lexus RX, Toyota 4Runner and Hyundai Azera."
