McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Given the fact that hard-disk drives (HDDs) will be in short supply through at least the first half of 2012, does McWilliams think big players like Hewlett-Packard will be best positioned to ride out the shortages?  Does McWilliams see Hewlett-Packard as a stock to buy right now? Why might PMC-Sierra, a supplier of chips to HP, be a better stock to consider?

-- With the shortage of HDD capacity impacting a wider variety of sectors and tangential suppliers than many analysts realize, which companies are likely to be negatively impacted and which will benefit? For example, will analog semiconductor suppliers like ON Semi that support power management in PCs, servers, and storage markets also feel the pinch of lower aggregate unit volume?

-- How will the HDD shortage negatively impact Intel and AMD? Which of the two companies is likely to experience a worse impact and why?  Will HDD companies be able to bring capacity back on line quickly enough to keep pace with the demand generated during the second half by the release of Windows 8?

-- Might HDD shortages work in favor of micro-caps like Overland Storage? Does McWilliams see evidence that Overland is viewed as a valuable partner by other tech firms?

-- What three situations are behind OmniVision's recently lowered guidance? Is the stock now over-sold following the recent sell-off? Would McWilliams consider adding shares at current prices or does he believe OmniVision may fall farther still?
