PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT), EZchip Semiconductor (NASDAQ:EZCH), RealNetworks (NASDAQ:RNWK), TSMC (NYSE:TSM) and Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TSEM). Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers generate huge returns on undervalued tech stocks in 2009. Out of the 80 stocks highlighted in his Undervalued Tech Stocks reports, 23 have produced returns greater than 70% and 12 have more than doubled year to date. All of these were ranked as either good "strategic" or "speculative" buys. The average return for all stocks ranked as either "speculative" or "strategic" buys was 66%, more than ten times the meager 6% return realized on stocks he suggested that investors avoid. When asked what he saw differently, McWilliams said, "Picking the trend change was easy; there were very clear indicators we would see a rally start the week of March 9th. However, picking the best stocks to own and those that should be avoided requires knowing not only the companies and the quality of their management teams, but understanding trends in technology well enough to explain them in simple terms." Keeping things simple and direct is precisely what McWilliams does for Next Inning readers.

Does McWilliams think investors should buy ahead of earnings or wait for a pullback to get in the game? -- EZchip has fallen back considerably from its Memorial Day highs, but still trades 75% above where it was when McWilliams added it to the Next Inning focus portfolio. Does McWilliams still think it is a winner and, as such, a stock that merits accumulation at this level? -- Should RealNetwork investors be comforted by its balance sheet? Is the company's cash balance really the right thing to focus on or are there other more important balance sheet factors investors should consider? In a special report, McWilliams provides readers with a detailed guide covering balance sheet evaluation and how to use it to judge downside risks. -- After being a big buyer in the mid-single digits in late December, what is McWilliams' current advice to holders of TSMC? -- Why has the price of Tower Semiconductor skyrocketed nearly 1,000% this year? Does McWilliams think there is even more to this story than what meets the eye? Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 204% since its inception versus 11% for the S&P 500.
