'Independent' team's hopes for 1998

Article Abstract:

The stocks regarded by the Independent newspaper as most likely to perform well in 1998 are those with good growth or recovery prospects. The strongest growth is likely to be seen by a company which is the subject of a takeover bid, probably in the financial sector. However, it is extremely difficult to predict takeover bids. The leisure, outsourcing and nursing home sectors will probably perform well, but it is worth avoiding industrial stocks with heavy exposure to sterling.
