McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- Is McWilliams expecting to hear good news from Altera's upcoming earnings report? Should investors consider the stock at current prices?

-- What is the main risk facing NetLogic? Is the stock set to benefit from broader trends?

-- How should investors evaluate the arbitrage between Cypress and SunPower heading into Cypress' earnings report?

-- How might strength in other segments - including communications and industrial - offset potential weakness for Intersil in the consumer segment?
