BOSTON, Nov. 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced today that it has recently provided to members its latest Strategy Review, an in-depth look at what's driving the market and technology sector.
Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model equity portfolio has returned a staggering 246%, well out-distancing the Nasdaq's 57% gain over the same period.
In mid-October, Next Inning presented strategies as potential ways to hedge semiconductor exposure. One such strategy included going long on shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) and shorting a similar position in Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). The net return of this idea has resulted in a 40%+ gain in just over a month.
In its November 14th Strategy Review, Next Inning provided updated comments on this hedge. The service also recently provided its thoughts on technology trends for 2005 including which sectors and companies are most likely to profit from such trends.
Next Inning also recently provided members an updated view on the semiconductor cycle, including a list of semiconductor companies that appear to be well-positioned over the long-term. Both Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR) and Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) were on this list. Next Inning has covered the two digital semiconductor leaders since the service's inception in 2002.
