PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 28, 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 Blue Coat Systems (Nasdaq: BCSI), Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU), and Ciena (Nasdaq: CIEN).

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.  The Next Inning model portfolio is up 374% since it was started in 2002, about nine times the 44% return for the S&P 500 over the same period.  Investors are now turning to McWilliams' in depth commentary to identify the tech sector winners and losers as earnings season goes into full swing.

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 covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Should investors consider adding shares of Blue Coat following the stock's recent pullback?  Could Blue Coat be worth more in an acquisition than it is as a stand-alone company?

-- Does McWilliams buy into the recent positive sentiment surrounding Nvidia?  Is the stock's recent run higher backed up fundamentals and potential growth?  Where does Nvidia fit into the current processor ecosystem, and can it carve out and defend a profitable niche over the long term?

-- Do larger tech sector trends suggest continued growth in Cisco's core markets?  How do Cisco's various non-core products fit into the company's overall strategy?  Is Wall Street's outlook for Cisco's next fiscal year too conservative?  What are the two challenges facing Cisco in the long term?

-- Throughout the recovery. McWilliams listed Finisar as his favorite investment in the optical networking sector.  If we look back at full year 2010 performance comparisons, we can see Ciena moved up 94% while Finisar moved up 233%.  Is McWilliams expecting Ciena to be the big gainer in 2011 or is much of the positive sentiment for the company already reflected in the stock price?

-- What three key factors may be working in Alcatel-Lucent's favor going forward?  What was behind the stock's drop in late 2010?  Is Alcatel-Lucent poised for a rebound in 2011?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 374% since its inception versus 44% for the S&P 500.
