PRINCETON, N.J., June 30 /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 ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ:ADCT), Ciena (NASDAQ:CIEN), 3Com (NASDAQ: COMS), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU), Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR) and Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX). 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, 21 have produced returns in excess of 70% 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 40.7%, better than twice the return of stocks he thought readers should avoid. McWilliams now turns his attention to his quarterly State of Tech reports. In this exclusive series of reports, McWilliams offers data, charts, and analysis that illustrate important tech paradigms and highlight important trends that will move stocks during the upcoming quarter.

Since his upgrade, the stock has gone up 85%. Does he think it has reached its fair value and that it's now time to hedge long positions with covered calls? What is his outlook for the stock during the next year? -- McWilliams ranked Ciena as a good speculative investment last December with an assigned price target of $10+. Now that the stock has posted a 70% gain and hit his target, does he think it's time to take profits or does he see a brighter future for the company? -- In December, McWilliams encouraged Next Inning readers to buy 3Com stating clearly that he thought the price would soon double. Now that the stock has moved up 125% has he raised his target or does he suggest that investors take their profits? -- In April, when the fiscal 2009 earnings consensus for Cisco was sitting at $1.25, McWilliams advised readers that Cisco would beat it by a dime. Now that it has moved up to $1.32 is he still holding fast to his $1.35 estimate? What does he forecast for Cisco for its fiscal 2010? Is there a case to be made for Cisco as a value investment? -- McWiliams advised readers in March that there was one good reason to make a speculative investment in Alcatel-Lucent. Since then, the price of the stock has gone up 40%. What was the reason? What strategy has Alcatel-Lucent been using to seed future demand? -- What new integrated circuit is scheduled for release by privately held BroadLogic that some pundits are predicting will significantly outperform the incumbent designs currently supported by Altera and Xilinx? Does McWilliams think it will materially impact the business of these two leaders in the programmable logic arena? Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 174% since its inception versus 2% for the S&P 500.
