PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP), Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU), Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR), and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ).  

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams has leveraged a decades-long career as a semiconductor industry insider to deliver in-depth insights and winning stock selections for his newsletter subscribers.  McWilliams' Next Inning model portfolio has posted huge gains over the last month, returning 23% since September 30th, easily outpacing the 9% return of the S&P 500 during that period, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011 and beyond.

McWilliams has been right on target this year with his predictions on the direction of the market.  From the spring sell-off to the June rebound to the slump in July and massive selloff that followed, McWilliams has kept Next Inning readers one step ahead of the market.

An example of a recent call for Next Inning trial subscribers: For the ninth straight quarter, McWilliams was within a rounding error with his forecast of Intel's quarterly results, while Wall Street missed again by a mile. Not only have McWilliams' numbers been spot on, in his quarterly State of Tech series he has described in great detail exactly what has driven Intel's Wall Street-beating success and why he thinks the trend will continue.

Trial subscribers will receive McWilliams' earnings previews and his highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.  These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and real-time trade alerts, are available for free to trial subscribers.
