Chemical/diversified industry

Article Abstract:

Most chemical/diversified industry stocks show parallel results to the U.S. economy and analysts expect that these securities will have minimum growth and profits in the next few years, will be shunned by most investors and attractive only to long-term, conservative and income-oriented investors. Investors who are willing to wait three to five years might see greater returns from foreign expansion. Investors should study individual companies rather than the industries as an entity.

Chemical (basic) industry

Article Abstract:

The basic chemical industry stands just above the median in Value Line's industry rankings. The industry is benefiting from high prices, high operating rates, added overhead and reinvestment, but will reach a cyclical peak in 1996 or early 1997. As a result, basic chemical stocks will underperform the market between 1995 and 2000 and are not recommended for conservative investors.
