PRINCETON, N.J., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has published a special report covering the assembly, package and test sector as well as the suppliers for capital equipment used in the sector. In this report, Next Inning has updated its outlooks for Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (NYSE: ASX), Advantest (NYSE: ATE), Verigy (Nasdaq: VRGY), Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT) and Cascade Microtech (Nasdaq: CSCD).

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After logging a very successful 2009 that included suggesting his readers buy a number of stocks that subsequently posted gains of 100% to 400%, he advised readers on May 3rd that the markets were heading for a correction. As many investors are painfully aware, McWilliams was right again.

Now that the major indexes have fallen more than the ten percent required to classify the drop as a "correction," McWilliams has outlined what he views as the real risks and advised Next Inning readers how he thinks things will play out during the balance of 2010.

Trial subscribers will receive McWilliams' new special report "Updating the Assembly, Package & Test Sector From Top to Bottom," in which McWilliams analyzes where capacity constraints are causing a bottleneck in the assembly, package and test sector and points to new opportunities to profit. In addition, trial subscribers will also receive the freshly published Summer Strategy Review, his highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth sector by sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and detailed earnings previews, are available for free to trial subscribers.

In addition, subscribers will have access to McWilliams' daily commentary and actionable alerts. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:
