PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has published updated outlooks on Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), and TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TQNT).

After a series of reports that nailed the market's high and low points in 2012, Editor Paul McWilliams has published his outlook for 2013. His new State of Tech report covers 72 technology stocks and outlines which stocks investors will want to own and which they should avoid. The report also dives deep into a number of exciting, emerging tech trends, well ahead of the Wall Street curve. Trial subscribers will receive the 126-page report, which includes 35 detailed tables and graphs, for free, no strings attached. This report is a must read for investors and analysts focusing on technology in 2013.

McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change. To this point, no one has been more accurate than McWilliams when it comes to Apple.

In recent reports, McWilliams also offers critical insight into Apple's recent weakness and adds valuable commentary on the roles of key suppliers. Nearly a decade ago, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers that Apple was positioned to win big when it was trading for less than $10 per share (split adjusted), and since then McWilliams has become one of the most trusted voices covering Apple and the consumer ecosystem business model it has pioneered. McWilliams' new, must-read report on Apple is available for free to trial Next Inning subscribers.

Topics discussed in the latest reports include:

-- Oracle: Why does McWilliams claim that Oracle is better positioned for success than it has been in a very long time? Is it due to something that has changed at Oracle or in the markets that can use Oracle's products? What specifically did Mark Hurd bring to Oracle that it has always lacked and why is it important? Why is "Big Data" such an important development for Oracle and why will it work strongly to the company's advantage going forward? What does Oracle have in common with Salesforce.com and NetFlix that may surprise many investors? Is there proof that the headline criticism of Oracle's position in apps is wrong?

-- Hewlett-Packard: McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to sell HP at its then current price of $43.50 when it announced the termination of then CEO Mark Hurd and McWilliams pulled no punches in his critique of his replacement. HP closed at $13.30 before releasing disappointing results after the close on November 19 and opened the next day down over 12% at $11.64. In a follow-up report that was published when HP was trading for $11.80, McWilliams wrote there was now room to speculate. With the price up now over 20% from McWilliams' entry point, should investors look take profits, or does McWilliams see the potential for a turnaround story to take hold in 2013?

-- Qualcomm: What five high-level threats do Qualcomm investors need to monitor in 2013? Does McWilliams expect Qualcomm to continue to dominate the high-end smartphone market in 2013? Can Qualcomm also overcome competition at the low end of the market? What is McWilliams' price objective for Qualcomm and what data does he use to support it?

-- Cisco: McWilliams was quick to advise Next Inning readers that Wall Street was wrong when it pushed Cisco's price under $15 in July and that it should be viewed as a buying opportunity. With Cisco shares well off those lows, does McWilliams believe the stock is still trading at an attractive price? Is Cisco poised for above-trend growth in 2013?

-- TriQuint: What positive events will likely unfold for TriQuint during the coming year that are not being factored into TriQuint's stock price? Will TriQuint's positioning as an Apple supplier be a positive for the stock in 2013? Is the price of TriQuint poised to double like we've recently seen happen for Anadigics?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 245% since its inception versus 61% for the S&P 500.
