announced it has updated outlooks for Diodes Inc (NASDAQ:DIOD),

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in predicting
the ebb and flow of the markets during the last 12 months. He not
only called the relief rally that started in November 2008 and
nailed the March bottom to the day, he also predicted the catalysts
that would fuel what has been one of the most significant recovery
rallies in NASDAQ history. In his special November Strategy Review,
McWilliams called the ups and downs of December with uncanny
accuracy and laid out his predictions for 2010. In this extensive
report, McWilliams provides an in-depth forecast for a variety of
tech sectors, points out what he sees as three danger periods
looming in our future, and provides specific investment opinions
and price targets on 37 leading tech stocks. Long-term Next Inning
readers know this is an important report. In his special report
published in late 2008, he helped position readers early with big
winners like Apple, Blue Coat Systems, Diode Inc., Flextronics,
3Com and Sun Microsystems, noting clearly the latter two were
acquisition candidates. Prices for these stocks have since advanced
between 135% and 250%. To get the inside scoop on how McWilliams

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports: --
In December 2008 McWilliams carefully explained to Next Inning
readers why Wall Street was wrong to sell off Diodes Inc. Not only
were analysts wrong in their view of the temporary adjustments
Diodes was forced to make to its balance sheet, but they were also
wrong in how they viewed the aggregate demand for Diodes' products.
Based on this view, McWilliams encouraged readers to buy Diode when
the stock was trading at only $4.56 with a prediction that they
could see returns during the next year approaching 400%. With Diode
now up 350% does McWilliams think investors should hold for the
full 400% or take some profits? What is McWilliams' fair value
price range for Diode? -- On November 2nd, McWilliams encouraged
Next Inning readers to buy Microsemi at its then current price of
$13.31. With the stock now trading above $18, a profit of 37% in
only two months, should stock holders take some gains or hold out
for more? What is McWilliams fair value price range for Microsemi
and what is the basis for his opinion? -- After suggesting that
Next Inning readers buy IXYS last August when the stock was trading
in the $6s, McWilliams suggested selling out the position in
October at $8.56 for a quick 35% profit. With the price now
trending in the mid-$7 range, does McWilliams think it's time to
buy back in? What does McWilliams think about IXYS' acquisition of
Ledis and its planned acquisition of Zilog? Does McWilliams think
IXYS is making a good decision to expand its market strategy
through these acquisitions? -- The price of International Rectifier
has nearly doubled since McWilliams listed it as a buy in his
special report, "Undervalued Tech Stocks for 2009." What does he
see as the risks and the critical success factors investors should
monitor going forward? What does he think about the forward
earnings consensus for International Rectifier? Does McWilliams
think the stock merits holding at its current price? -- In late
2008, McWilliams suggested that Next Inning readers buy OmniVision
at its then current price in the mid-$5s. His reasoning was that
the strong balance sheet and a surge in smartphone demand during
2009 would lead to a possible triple. Following this, but months
before the news was public, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers
that OmniVision had won the coveted image sensor for the new iPhone
scheduled for release later that year. When the tear-down reports
confirmed the design the price of OmniVision soared. With rumors
that the new iPhone due out in 2010 will use an OmniVision sensor
and forecasts suggesting sales for the iPhone could double from
what they were in 2009, does McWilliams think it will be another
good year for OmniVision stockholders? Founded in September 2002,
Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 235% since its inception
versus 26% for the S&P 500. About Next Inning: Next Inning is a
