PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Cypress Semiconductor (Nasdaq: CY), Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX), Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR), Atmel (Nasdaq: ATML), and Lattice Semiconductor (Nasdaq: LSCC).

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was named the winner in both the Forbes and AOL stock picking contests for newsletter writers in 2010.  His top pick for 2010 moved up over 132% for the year, and Next Inning free trial subscribers now have access to his top picks for 2011, a total of ten stocks that McWilliams sees as the big winners this year.

Steven Halpern, the editor of The Stock Advisors report, which tracks 75 subscription newsletters and publishes the AOL Top Picks Report, had this to say about McWilliams:

"I have followed the financial newsletter industry for 28 years, reading hundreds of financial advisors. Without doubt, Paul McWilliams offers among the most in-depth, highest quality and well-reasoned research available in the marketplace. I've rarely ever seen an advisor who is as knowledgeable -- and accurate -- regarding the sectors and stocks that they follow."

McWilliams, who worked in the tech industry as an executive for nearly 25 years, has a stellar track record.  His Next Inning model portfolio is up 377% since it was started in 2002.  That is nearly ten times the 41% return for the S&P 500 over the same timeframe.  For 2010, McWilliams' model portfolio returned 43% as compared to the S&P 500 return of only 13%.  

In addition to the report naming his top picks for 2011, 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 and 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:

-- Is Cypress really the leader in touch screen controller technology or has the company lost the grip it had from being an early mover in the sector? What is the "red flag" that investors in Cypress need to be aware of?  What is McWilliams' fair value range for the stock and how much upside does it represent?

-- When Wall Street analysts were busy trashing programmable logic leaders Altera and Xilinx early last year, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers in no uncertain terms the analysts were not only wrong in their conclusions, but that the logic behind the conclusion was wrong as well.  He also advised readers that Altera was poised then to be the bigger winner in 2010.  As we know now, both stocks were solid performers in 2010 and Altera has far outdistanced its rival, Xilinx.  Does McWilliams continue to believe investors should consider one or both of these stocks as core strategic investments?  Which of the two is more attractive at current prices?  Does McWilliams think there are still drivers at work that will lead Altera and Xilinx to grow revenue faster than the broad semiconductor industry?  What are his estimated fair value prices for the two stocks?

-- Despite being a late entrant to the touch screen controller market, is Atmel becoming a leader in this emerging technology?  McWilliams predicted in January 2010 that Atmel would be trading above $10 by year end.  Now that Atmel has easily eclipsed that target, does McWilliams see further upside in store for the stock?  Is there more to the Atmel story than just its strong position in the touch screen market?

-- After berating Lattice for years, McWilliams flipped to a bullish position on the stock in late 2008 and reiterated his bullish call at the start of 2010.  Since his first call to buy Lattice its price has skyrocketed over 330%!  Is the stock poised to continue its upward trajectory?  Is Wall Street right to question Lattice's turnaround following the departure of the company's CEO?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 377% since its inception versus 41% for the S&P 500.
