NI Technology Previews Earnings for Apple, Altera, Xilinx, VMware and EMC

PRINCETON, N.J., July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has updated outlooks for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR), Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX), VMware (NYSE: VMW) and EMC (NYSE: EMC).  

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, returning 302% since its inception in 2002, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.  

McWilliams has been right on target this year with his predictions on the direction of the market.  In mid-May McWilliams advised his readers that we would be in for about five or six weeks of souring market conditions, but following that, McWilliams predicted that tech stock prices would rally as Wall Street looked towards what McWilliams stated weeks earlier would be a stronger second half.  One look at the charts is all it takes to see his timing was again impeccable.

But wait, tech stock prices declined again after only a couple of good weeks; is that a part of the vision?  Is it time to buy or are we in for another brutal selloff like we saw in late May and the first few weeks of June? McWilliams addresses those concerns and presents detailed data, identifying which stocks will do well and which investors should avoid going forward.  To help Next Inning readers make better informed decisions, Next Inning has begun publishing its highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.

In addition to the State of Tech series, trial subscribers will also receive real-time trade alerts, daily updates, and McWilliams' in depth earnings previews.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Has Apple's dramatic growth story led many market observers to lose perspective?  Can Apple remain a good investment even as its days of hyper-growth inevitably come to an end?  What well known consumer electronics brand might make for an attractive acquisition target for Apple?

-- Are programmable logic suppliers like Altera and Xilinx well positioned to face emerging threats?  Does McWilliams expect Altera and Xilinx to grow earnings and revenue faster than Wall Street is expecting?  Which of these stocks offers investors better potential upside right now?

-- Do VMware and EMC offer investors a great way to gain exposure to the emerging cloud computing trend?  Since EMC owns over 80% of VMware, can investors who want to own a position in VMware accomplish that by owning shares in EMC?  How does McWilliams deconstruct this complex value model to arrive at a conclusion to this question?  What other company that specializes in virtualization does McWilliams like as an investment to pair with EMC?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 302% since its inception versus 45% for the S&P 500.
