NI Technology Previews Earnings for Microvision, Hittite Microwave, STEC, NetApp, and Nvidia

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Microvision (Nasdaq: MVIS), Hittite Microwave (Nasdaq: HITT), STEC (Nasdaq: STEC), NetApp (Nasdaq: NTAP), and Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA).

Next Inning readers leverage the insight you can only get from an industry insider.  Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was a tech industry executive for more than two decades.  Not only does he know how things work from the inside and how to spot a winning business model, he also has a long and successful record of picking winning stocks.  Year to date in 2012 these picks have driven a 23% gain for the Next Inning Model Portfolio. Since its inception in 2002, the model portfolio is up over 300%.

To beat Wall Street at its own game, you need a guide. McWilliams not only has the credentials and track record to provide that service, but also the connections you need to find the hidden gems.  For example, in 2008 he advised Next Inning readers to buy EZchip when the stock was trading below $7.  Earlier this week he reiterated his bullish view of the company and stated even though it remains a very small company, it merits consideration as a core strategic investment.  Following its earnings report Wednesday morning, the price of EZchip jumped another 10% closing February 9th at $37.47.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Many pundits are predicting that 2012 will be the year of the pico projector.  What sets Microvision apart from all of the other pico projector companies?  What one factor has kept Microvision from optimizing its design and reducing its pico projector prices to competitive levels?  What two key competitive advantages does Microvision's unique pico projector technology deliver?  What is the one limiting factor that may keep a lid on Microvision's stock price under even the best circumstances?

-- Are Wall Street's full-year earnings estimates for Hittite too low? What fundamental event on the horizon may drive Hittite to break out to the high side of its recent trading range? At what price would McWilliams consider adding shares of Hittite?

-- After his suggestion to sell STEC in 2009 when the stock was trading in the mid-$30s, McWilliams called several successful swing trades in STEC with each yielding profits in the range of 40%-60%. Does McWilliams think it makes sense to go for another STEC swing trade today, or have things changed in the SSD sector too much to risk the capital? 

-- In January 2011, McWilliams suggested that NetApp shareholders sell and move proceeds to EMC.  After the price of NetApp declined nearly 35%, McWilliams suggested there was now room to speculate in NetApp bouncing higher.  Does McWilliams think NetApp will report strong results for its January ending quarter (fiscal Q3) or that investors should take profits now?  Does McWilliams still think EMC is the better stock for the long term?

-- Does McWilliams expect Nvidia to paint a very optimistic picture of its longer-term future when it reports earnings later this week? What specific markets and upsides does McWilliams expect Nvidia to discuss during its conference call?  Did buying Icera solve Nvidia's weakness in connectivity? What stock or combination of stocks does McWilliams think is the best way to cover the mobile computing and communications sector?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 303% since its inception versus 48% for the S&P 500.
