McWilliams covers these topics and more in his latest reports:

-- Is GigOptix's recent announcement about a coupler product important news for investors? Do recent market comments from Finisar's CEO suggest that GigOptix is seeing strong demand for its products?

-- Six weeks ago, McWilliams wrote that Opnext could be an acquisition target of a larger fiber optics firm? Now that Oclaro has announced it will buy Opnext at a 60% premium to its prior closing price, does McWilliams expect the merger to shake up the fiber optics sector and have an impact on Finisar and JDS Uniphase? Should investors consider buying shares of Oclaro? Which stock does McWilliams view as the best bet in the fiber optics sector?

-- Mellanox has doubled since McWilliams alerted investors to a buying opportunity in the stock in the second half of 2010. Does he see further gains ahead for the stock, or is time to take profits? What is the primary challenge facing Mellanox right now? Following Intel's purchase of QLogic's InfiniBand product line, is Mellanox's competition getting stronger?

-- Is Nokia well positioned for a turnaround in the second half of 2012? McWilliams provided a short update on Nokia Tuesday and will offer a detailed update on Nokia and several other companies in his forthcoming State of Tech report covering Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) companies, available free to trial subscribers.
