Leading Tech Analyst Issues Special Investor Update on Fusion-IO, Netlist, OCZ Technology, STEC, Seagate Technology and SanDisk

PRINCETON, N.J., July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Fusion-IO FIO, Netlist NLST, OCZ Technology OCZ, STEC STEC, Seagate Technology STX, and SanDisk SNDK.

Editor Paul McWilliams is best known for spotting big winners long before they are recognized by Wall Street.  Nearly a decade ago, he advised Next Inning readers that Apple was positioned to win big when it was trading for less than $10 per share (split adjusted).  However, in markets like we face today, many readers appreciate his calls to sell even more.

In his special July 3rd report, "A Guide for the Q2 Earnings Season," McWilliams advised readers they should sell Advanced Micro Devices and Netlist.  Since the report was published, the price of Advanced Micro has dropped over 33% and the price of Netlist has dropped over 28%.  What other stocks did McWilliams suggest selling and which ones does he think investors should buy?

In his "Guide for the Q2 Earnings Season," McWilliams offers in depth data and analysis on 67 tech companies expected to report aggregate revenue in excess of $800 billion this year. The report includes McWilliams' second half outlook, full value price ranges and current investment opinions for all 67 stocks.  With this data, investors can appropriately position themselves for the July earnings season.

McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change.

McWilliams thinks his 62-page State of Tech report should be read by all tech investors and is making it, along with his special report "Triple Crown Tech Stocks," available free of charge to all who sign up for a no-obligation free trial to Next Inning Technology Research.

McWilliams' recent reports cover the following topics and more:

-- McWilliams suggested exiting Fusion-IO, Netlist, OCZ, and STEC when each was trading reasonably close to its respective all-time high. Does McWilliams expect above average volatility to offer opportunities for traders to turn profits in these stocks? Does he see any of these stocks as strong long-term investment candidates? What do investors need to know about the enterprise memory markets before considering investments in these companies?

-- OCZ and Seagate: Should investors use OCZ's recent strength to exit the stock? Is OCZ better off being acquired by a company like Seagate than moving forward as a standalone company?  What is the long-term outlook for NAND Flash based Solid State Drive (SSD) technology?  Why, if it is reasonable to forecast huge growth for SSD technology, does McWilliams think many of the currently successful merchant approaches are destined to fail?

-- Fusion-IO and Netlist: In McWilliams' extensive "State of Tech" report that was published in early July to help investors prepare for the upcoming earnings season, he clearly advised readers to sell or avoid Netlist. Since that report was published, the price of Netlist is down 28%. With Fusion-IO selling today for about half the price he suggested selling the stock at last year, does McWilliams now think it is due for a rebound or that investors should continue to avoid it even in the teens?

-- SanDisk:  What differentiates SanDisk in the SSD market and why is that differentiation likely to be more durable than what we're seeing from companies like Fusion-IO, OCZ and STEC?  McWilliams suggested that Next Inning readers pick up shares of SanDisk when it was trading in the low-$30s.  What is his exit target for SanDisk?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 231% since its inception versus 49% for the S&P 500.
