NI Technology Previews Earnings for Cisco Systems, Broadcom, United Microelectronics, O2Micro International and International Re

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 2  /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 Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Broadcom (NASDAQ:BRCM), United Microelectronics (NYSE:UMC), O2Micro International (NASDAQ:OIIM) and International Rectifier (NYSE:IRF).

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in predicting the ebb and flow of the markets during the last 12 months.  He not only called the relief rally that started in November 2008 and nailed the March bottom to the day, he also predicted the catalysts that would fuel what has been one of the most significant recovery rallies in NASDAQ history.

In a new special report, "10 Tech Trends for 2010," McWilliams lays out his predictions for 2010 covering important stories from cloud computing to virtualization to data centers and solid state drives.  In this extensive report, McWilliams provides an in-depth forecast for a variety of tech sectors and provides specific investment opinions and price targets on leading tech stocks.  This valuable report is available for free to trial subscribers.

Long-term Next Inning readers know this is an important report.  In his special report published in late 2008, he helped position readers early with big winners like Apple, Blue Coat Systems, Diode Inc., Flextronics, 3Com and Sun Microsystems, noting clearly the latter two were acquisition candidates.  Prices for these stocks have since advanced between 135% and 250%.

  McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:



-- What two ongoing ventures are critical for Cisco and important for investors to watch?  Are Cisco shares currently undervalued?  Should investors consider buying Cisco ahead of its upcoming earnings report?

-- What is the one red flag that Broadcom investors need to be aware of?  What five trends are coming together that will benefit Broadcom going forward? Is Broadcom poised to outperform expectations this year?

-- McWilliams suggested that Next Inning readers buy shares of number two foundry player UMC in December 2009 when they were trading for only $1.90.  He then suggested selling when the stock topped $4 in early January.  With the stock back in the mid-$3s now, does he think it's time to buy again ahead of the Wednesday morning earnings report?  What one thing does McWilliams think all tech investors should listen for on the UMC conference call?

-- Is O2Micro stock likely to move higher based on the company's strength in LCD TV markets?  Is O2Micro likely to outperform expectations in 2010?  Is the stock undervalued at current prices?

-- What does McWilliams see as the risks and the critical success factors facing International Rectifier that investors should monitor going forward?  What does he think about the forward earnings consensus for International Rectifier?  Does McWilliams think the stock merits holding at its current price?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 220% since its inception versus 21% for the S&P 500.
