PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 30 -Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced today that it has provided members with earnings previews of Sigma Designs (Nasdaq: SIGM) and Catalyst (Nasdaq: CATS).

In addition to the earnings previews and reviews, members also recently received Next Inning's mid-year "State of Tech" report. The 44-page report, a $149 value, is available free to new members who sign up for a complimentary 30-day trial subscription to Next Inning Technology Research:

During earnings season, McWilliams provides previews and predictions for companies across the technology universe. Once a company reports, he then goes back and gives his updated thoughts and outlook for its stock going forward. In his comments regarding the Apple/Samsung rumor, McWilliams said:
"The challenge here is that Samsung would have to drop prices for the company's highest density NAND Flash memories by as much as 50% to equal the current price Apple is paying for mini drives from Seagate. Speculators suggest this makes sense for both parties. Apple would benefit from a more robust and lower power consuming platform and Samsung would lock up the biggest Flash deal in history."
In his earnings previews and commentary, McWilliams looked at the following company-specific topics, among others:
-- Why is McWilliams cautiously optimistic about Catalyst's earnings report?
-- What are the price action of the stock and the upside in the DVD sector indicating to McWilliams about Sigma Designs?
-- Why does McWilliams think Apple will benefit from this situation whether the company makes the move to Samsung or not?
-- While Seagate appears is to be the clear loser in this situation, what company outside of this deal could also be a potential winner?
Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 224% since its inception versus 77% for the Nasdaq.
