PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Brocade Communications Systems (Nasdaq: BRCD), Citrix Systems (Nasdaq: CTXS), Compellent Technologies (NYSE: CML), Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) and EMC (NYSE: EMC).

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After calling the rally that started in March 2009 to the day and providing Next Inning readers with buy recommendations that in some cases returned in excess of 400%, he advised readers on May 3, 2010 that the markets were heading for a correction.  By the end of the day, the correction started.

In his June 7th Strategy Review, McWilliams advised readers we would see stocks rally in July, but that the rally would be followed by another selloff in August. As we know now, both events materialized as predicted.  On August 30th, Next Inning published McWilliams' Fall Strategy Review that outlines what he expects from the markets during the coming three months and naming five stocks he thinks will hit new highs before the close of the year.  Investors are invited to read McWilliams' market insights with no obligation during a 21-day risk-free trial.

Trial subscribers will receive the Next Inning Fall Strategy Review and highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.  These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and detailed earnings previews, are available for free to trial subscribers.

In a special June 2009 report, McWilliams provided Next Inning readers with a list of six companies he predicted would be acquisition targets. So far, four of those six have been acquired.  The most recent, Isilon, provided investors with a return greater than 725%.

In a special report that was published this morning, McWilliams reviews these predictions, provides an updated list of companies that could become acquisition targets in the future and explains in detail why large companies like Hewlett-Packard and EMC are willing to pay what appear to be eye-popping premiums for the companies they are acquiring:

-- McWilliams suggested buying Isilon in June 2009 when the stock was trading for only $4.10.  Last week EMC announced it would make a tender offer for Isilon shares at $33.85.  Why is EMC offering such a monstrous premium for Isilon.  Is this a good deal for EMC and a fair price for Isilon shareholders?

-- Might Juniper be an attractive acquisition by IBM?  Is there any acquisition premium already built into the price of Juniper?  How much of a premium does McWilliams think Juniper shareholders would get if the company is acquired?

-- Why does McWilliams consider Citrix a potential "jewel" of an acquisition?  How much of a premium could Citrix bring if a bigger tech player made an offer?

-- Is a large acquisition premium already built into Compellent's stock price?  What would Compellent be worth if an acquirer valued it similarly to the valuation Isilon was award in the recent buyout by EMC?

-- Could Dell, IBM, or even Oracle be interested in acquiring Brocade?  What is a key issue that Brocade investors need to be aware of when valuing the company?  How much could a buyout offer add to Brocade's share price?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 313% since its inception versus 32% for the S&P 500.
