PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 9 /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 Conexant Systems (Nasdaq: CNXT), Zoran (Nasdaq: ZRAN), National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM) and EZchip Semiconductor (Nasdaq: EZCH).

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, but also predicted the catalysts that would start what has been one of the most significant recovery rallies in NASDAQ history.

In an effort to prepare his readers for the remainder of 2009 and help them position their portfolios for the coming year, Next Inning has published McWilliams' Strategy Review and outlook for the next year. In this extensive report, McWilliams provides an in-depth forecast for a variety of tech sectors, points out what he sees as three danger periods looming in our future, and provides specific investment opinions and price targets on 37 leading tech stocks.

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, Flextronics, 3Com and Sun Microsystems, noting clearly the latter two were acquisition candidates. Prices for these stocks have since advanced between 130% and 255%.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- In 2004 McWilliams called Conexant "a train wreck looking for a sharp curve" and advised Next Inning readers to avoid the stock. Since then, the price of Conexant has dropped over 90%. Now that the company has been under new management for more than a year, does he think it's time to give the stock a second look? What are the critical success factors he thinks Conexant investors should monitor? What does Conexant need to do in order to generate sustainable upside? What trends should Conexant investors be watching closely?

-- Could Zoran be poised to double from current prices? What factors does McWilliams think could drive this upside?

-- Should investors be concerned about EZchip's recent shelf registration? If EZchip raises more cash, what are the likely uses for the proceeds?

-- What is McWilliams expecting from National Semi's upcoming earnings report, and how does he expect Wall Street to react to the news?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 208% since its inception versus 21% for the S&P 500.
