Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Actel, Analog Devices, Blue Coat Systems, and Sigma Designs

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Actel (NASDAQ:ACTL), Analog Devices (NYSE:ADI), Blue Coat Systems (NASDAQ:BCSI), and Sigma Designs (NASDAQ:SIGM).

Without a doubt, 2008 has been a challenging year for investors. However, with challenge comes opportunity. Some analysts say that tech stocks are bad and others say they are good. Editor Paul McWilliams says there are tech stocks fitting both categories. In his reports, he provides the insight investors need to pick the winners and avoid the losers:

In his earnings preview, McWilliams wrote: "In our March 2007 State of Tech report, which we published when Actel traded from $16.59 to $17, I suggested investors book profits or at least hedge long positions with in-the- money calls. Prior to this, I had written in reports dating as far back as December 2005 that Actel merited accumulation at prices mostly ranging between $12 and $13. The reversal of opinion on Actel was based on two primary issues with neither one being the tipping point...."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- What factors led McWilliams to flip negative on Actel in 2007? With the stock now 30% lower, should investors reconsider the stock? -- What factors are poised to benefit Analog Devices in 2008? Does the stock merit consideration at current prices? -- Why might 2008 be a more challenging year for Blue Coat? At what price would McWilliams recommend accumulating shares? -- Does the end of the high definition DVD format wars bode well for Sigma Designs?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 228% since its inception versus 78% for the Nasdaq.
