PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 22 /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 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM), United Microelectronics (NYSE: UMC), Semiconductor Manufacturing International (NYSE:SMI) and Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ:TSEM). 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 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%.

Is TSMC now trading below McWilliams' fair value range? Is TSMC set to benefit the most among U.S.-listed semiconductor manufacturers from industry-wide trends? What is "the Intel factor" and will it help or hurt TSMC? -- Has UMC been performing above McWilliams' expectations in 2009? Are there signs an upcoming rally is poised to take the stock above $4 a share? -- Is a management change at SMIC a bullish sign for the stock? -- Earlier this year, McWilliams alerted investors to an opportunity in Tower Semiconductor when the stock was trading for $0.29. The trade ultimately yielded a nearly 250% gain. What is the additional potential upside for Tower Semiconductor if Wall Street begins to award it the same valuation as its peers? Could Tower Semiconductor stock be worth more than seven times what it trades for today?
