Leading Tech Analyst Publishes Revised Outlook on Apple: 'Is It Time to Buy?'

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has published an updated outlook on Apple AAPL.

So far, the roadmap Editor Paul McWilliams laid out for 2012 has been extremely accurate.  He called the peak in March 2012 and warned readers of the subsequent correction two days before it started.  Following this, once the markets bottomed, he predicted we would see prices rally through the Q2 earnings season.  As it turned out, this was one of the strongest rallies the market has seen in a very long time.

However, following the close on September 14, 2012, McWilliams published an updated Strategy Review and, in that, predicted again that the markets were due for another drop ahead of the November election.  This time he nailed the year-to-date high to the day.  Technology investors and analysts will want to be sure to read what McWilliams predicts will happen in 2013 in his upcoming year-end State of Tech report.

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.  To this point, no one has been more accurate than McWilliams when it comes to Apple.

In his latest reports, McWilliams offers critical insight into Apple's recent weakness and adds valuable commentary on the roles of key suppliers. Nearly a decade ago, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers that Apple was positioned to win big when it was trading for less than $10 per share (split adjusted), and since then McWilliams has become one of the most trusted voices covering Apple and the consumer ecosystem business model it has pioneered. McWilliams' new, must-read report on Apple is available for free to trial Next Inning subscribers.

Topics discussed in the latest reports include:

-- McWilliams has consistently been ahead of the curve when it comes to Apple.  Nearly ten years ago he suggested buying the stock when it was trading for less than $10 (split adjusted).  In January 2009, when Apple dipped below $100, He pointed to how accounting policies were masking Apple's true profitability.  However, earlier this year when Apple made its first run to the mid-$600s, he advised Next Inning readers it was time to take profits and reiterated that view in the fall as Apple moved above $700.  In his report, "Is the Shine off Apple?", McWilliams revealed the six factors that are behind the recent pullback in the price of Apple and advises investors on whether it's time to buy Apple again.  This is a must read report for all Apple analysts and investors.

-- With the price of Apple now far below where McWilliams suggested selling earlier this year does he think it's time to buy again?  Does McWilliams think it's reasonable to forecast Apple again moving above $700 or does he think it's better for investors to set more conservative targets?

-- What are the two most significant risks facing Apple and its shareholders today?

-- What two things must Apple deliver to its customers to maintain its successful market trajectory?

-- While McWilliams readily acknowledges that Apple CEO, Tim Cook is obviously a brilliant man, what one quality does Cook lack that may prove to be Apple's "Achilles Heel"?

-- What can investors learn by evaluating Apple's "value share" as well as its market share? Why do investors need to look beyond iPads and iPhones to the "ecosystem" when evaluating Apple?
