NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Apple, Altera, Xilinx, Qualcomm
and Microchip Technology

PRINCETON, N.J., June 10 /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
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR), Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX), Qualcomm
(Nasdaq: QCOM) and Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP).

The big names in semiconductor forecasting have stated during the last week
they expect semiconductor revenue to fall between 21% and 24% in 2009.  In the
same June 1st report in which McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to expect
a "notable" upside from Texas Instruments in its Q2 update, he also provided
his 2009 forecast and the drivers he sees behind it. Why, with so many
"experts" predicting a decline in excess of 20%, is McWilliams forecasting
only a 15% decline?

While we won't know until later this year whose forecast is right, we know
today that McWilliams has been red hot when it comes to picking the right
stocks to buy and sell.  Year to date, the Next Inning portfolio is up over
41% compared to the S&P 500, which is up 4%

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his most recent report:

-- Why is Apple's move to price the original 3G iPhone at $99 key to the
company's strategy?  What other company is set to benefit from the increased
volume at this new price point?

-- Altera and Xilinx didn't enjoy the same gains as other semiconductor firms
in the wake of Texas Instruments raising its guidance.  Now that Texas
Instruments has confirmed strong performance in key markets for Altera and
Xilinx, do investors have an opportunity to get in on those stocks at a
bargain price?

-- How are Qualcomm chips used in the new, highly anticipated Palm Pre
handset?

-- The old saying, "the Devil is in the details" applies to Microchip.  While
the company issued guidance comfortably above the consensus, when you look at
the details, the news isn't all that good.  What is it that McWilliams sees in
the Microchip story that leaves him uncomfortable?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 188%
since its inception versus 4% for the S&P 500.
