PRINCETON, N.J., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology
Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), an online investment
newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks,
announced it has updated outlooks for Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR), Xilinx
(NASDAQ:XLNX) Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), Apple
(NASDAQ:AAPL), F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV), Intersil (NASDAQ: ISIL),
VMware (NYSE:VMW), and many others. Throughout this challenging
period in the market, Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his
subscribers identify uniquely positioned tech sector opportunities.
Some of these stocks appreciated nearly 200% in only months. Due to
this rapid appreciation, McWilliams has more recently suggested
thinning certain speculative holdings and provided specific
examples showing readers how to use options to reduce risks. The
results speak for themselves; on a year-to-date basis, the Next
Inning model portfolio has returned 29%, more than ten times the 2%
return by the Nasdaq over that period. By taking a free test drive

McWilliams covers these topics: -- The price of Apple has moved up
36% since McWilliams profiled it as a strong strategic buy last
December. In his recent write up, he outlined four aspects of the
Apple business model that he believes will continue to propel the
company forward. While he's obviously bullish about Apple, does he
think investors should buy now or look for a pull back and, if so,
to what price? -- McWilliams worked in the programmable logic
device sector for two decades and used this valuable experience to
pen what he calls a "Paradigm Paper" on the topic. With both Altera
and Xilinx performing above expectations and Xilinx recently
winning a socket in the new HTC Dream handset, it appears his
bullish position is being well supported. Which of the two stocks
does he think is most timely to buy today? -- Will AMD's decision
to enter the semiconductor fabrication business ignite a turnaround
in the stock? -- Why might Cisco's partnership with VMware and EMC
ignite acquisition interest in data center players like F5? --
McWilliams sold off his Intersil position at over $25 and predicted
that its high exposure to the PC sector left the company too
vulnerable. As it turned out, he was right in this assessment.
However, now that there has been a change in top management and a
new business model is being cast; does he think it's time to look
favorably at the stock again? -- Might investors in VMware be
better off considering EMC, which owns the vast majority of VMware
shares? Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio
has returned 171% since its inception versus 24% for the Nasdaq.
