Auto parts (original equipment)

Article Abstract:

The continuing conflict between organized labor and the General Motors Corp has not yet impacted earnings for the automobile original equipment industry in 1998, but this could change in the second half of the year. Industry productivity for suppliers should increase after the General Motors strike is settled, and aggressive companies are expected to increase market share. Investors need to focus on stocks with potential for the years 2001-2003.

Auto parts (original equipment)

Article Abstract:

Stock prices for the automobile parts (original equipment) industry will likely remain under pressure in 1998, due to the summer 1998 General Motors strike and cyclical nature of the industry. Turmoil in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia and elsewhere will have an effect in the future, as well, and the industry is attempting to expand its markets. There are few timely stocks in this industry for 1998, but several have future potential.

Financial services industry

Article Abstract:

The financial services industry did well in 1998. Personal income growth and home ownership levels increased, and these trends are continuing in 1999. This has been accomplished as inflation and interest rate levels remain low. Strong consumer spending is deemed essential for growth in 1999. However, a market correction may effect confidence levels and, subsequently, have a negative impact on finance companies.
