Investment co. (domestic) industry

Article Abstract:

The bull market which began in 1990 for US stocks is likely to continue. However, caution is warranted because the Federal Reserve Board is no longer easing interest rates, the public believes that inflation is not rising, stock speculation is increasing, and dividend yields remain low. Small-cap stocks are likely to outperform the market in 1996 and 1997 and closed-end domestic small-cap stock mutual funds are good investments for 1996.

Investment co. (domestic) industry

Article Abstract:

Closed-end stock funds that invest in US companies outperformed foreign stock funds in 1995, and performed as well as open end US stock funds. Since brokers ignore closed-end funds many are now selling at high net asset value discounts. Business and interest rate outlooks are favorable for the stock market in 1996 with low inflation and good price-earnings ratios. Several individual closed-end funds are good investments for 1996.

Article Abstract:

The 33.5% gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1995 is not likely to matched in 1996. However, foreign money should be enticed into US stocks with the rise of the dollar's value. Long-term interest rates should not rise, since inflation is expected to remain low. The small-cap sector of closed-end mutual funds are the best investments now. Many underperformed the market in 1995 and are now selling at reasonable ratios.
