PRINCETON, N.J., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has updated outlooks for Wave Systems (Nasdaq: WAVX), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA), MIPS Technologies (Nasdaq: MIPS), and ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH).  

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 328% since its inception in 2002, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.  

Despite predictions from dozens of Wall Street analysts and tech sector research firms, McWilliams was the only one to forecast Intel's earnings report correctly, with estimates that matched the chip giant's Q1 results and Q2 guidance perfectly.  Along with McWilliams' Intel forecast and his bullish calls ahead of strong earnings by Apple and Qualcomm, Next Inning subscribers have access to dozens more as McWilliams publishes in depth earnings previews and coverage throughout earnings season.  There are still a number of potential tech earnings winners to be covered this quarter.

Trial subscribers will also receive McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.  The full set of State of Tech reports will be published ahead of earnings season, offering specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What is unique about Wave Systems' approach to enterprise security?  What are McWilliams' concerns about Wave Systems?  What changes does McWilliams see coming to security technology during the next year or so?  What is the difference between "day one" and "day zero" security and why is it of growing importance?  Is Wave Systems positioned to fend off competition as larger players make big moves in the security space?

-- Last fall, McWilliams complained that there was far too much talk going on at Cisco and far too little action.  After losing Wall Street's confidence, is Cisco poised to execute a successful turnaround story that will reward investors?  What is McWilliams' one-year price target for Cisco, and how much upside does it represent from current prices?  Is Cisco's potential downside limited at current prices?

-- Well aligned with McWilliams' predictions, Nvidia's stock got a big jump from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) excitement it generated early this year when it displayed impressive design wins in the non-Apple segment of the emerging tablet market. However, also aligned with McWilliams' predictions, Wall Street's love affair with Nvidia was short-lived.  As McWilliams predicted last February, Nvidia announced yesterday its intention to acquire British baseband processor company, Icera.  Does this move better position Nvidia to compete with the likes of Qualcomm or are there still holes in its fabric that need filling?

-- With Intel making big announcements about its processor technology and rumors emerging that Apple may shift away from Intel to an internally designed ARM-based processor for its MacBooks, where does this leave smaller rival MIPS?  Is MIPS still positioned to see strong growth as it expands its exposure to booming mobile computing markets?

-- Does McWilliams believe it's likely that Apple may shift away from Intel to an internally designed ARM-based processor for its MacBooks?  Is ARM likely to threaten Intel in traditional computing markets?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 328% since its inception versus 49% for the S&P 500.
