PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 18, 2012 /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), Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL), Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU), Lattice Semiconductor (Nasdaq: LSCC), and DragonWave (Nasdaq: DRWI).

So far, the roadmap Editor Paul McWilliams laid out for 2012 has been extremely accurate.  He called the peak in March 2012 and warned readers of the subsequent correction two days before it started.  Following this, once the markets bottomed, he predicted we would see prices rally through the Q2 earnings season.  As it turned out, this was one of the strongest rallies the market has seen in a very long time.

As the markets began to peak in mid-September, McWilliams warned again that prices were poised to fall and would likely continue moving lower through early November.  However, following this, McWilliams boldly called the market bottom on November 16^th.  Today McWilliams updated his near to mid-term outlook and advised readers they need to watch what he calls "The Apple Factor."  McWilliams' recent reports reveal The Apple Factor and explain why all tech investors need to watch it carefully. 

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 his latest reports, McWilliams 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: Is Oracle better positioned for success than it has been in a very long time? Is the company on track to establish an enterprise ecosystem under the leadership of Larry Ellison and Mark Hurd?  Should investors buy shares before Oracle reports earnings this week?

-- Jabil:  Should Jabil investors consider the company's relationship with Apple to be a positive factor?  What is McWilliams' full value price range for Jabil and how much upside does it represent?

-- Micron: In April, McWilliams warned that if we saw the correction he forecasted a week earlier, the price of Micron could dip into the $5s, which would create a buying opportunity.  The correction arrived as predicted, and Micron closed trading on June 4th at $5.39.  Following this, in July, McWilliams advised investors to sell at $6.38 for a quick 22% return. In October, with Micron trading at $5.98, McWilliams wrote that investors should wait patiently for Micron to drop back into the mid-$5s before buying back shares.  Within three weeks, the price of Micron fell to a low of $5.16? With Micron now trading 28% higher, is it time to take profits or hold on for more gains?

-- Lattice: Should investors be concerned about Lattice's recent announcement lowering its revenue guidance? What other elements of Lattice's recent investor communications do investors need to take a close look at?

-- DragonWave: Does news of Sprint's plan to acquire all of Clearwire represent a major positive development for DragonWave? Are DragonWave shares substantially oversold?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 229% since its inception versus 58% for the S&P 500.
