Cement & aggregates

Article Abstract:

The increase of housing starts and residential construction in late 1998, along with the Federal Highway Spending Bill, has increased the demand for cement and aggregate materials in the US. Several producers are planning to expand production capacity at their facilities to meet the market created by better US economic conditions, and strategic acquisitions are being pursued, as well. These stocks are cyclical, but most have good potential for growth over the next three to five years.

Manufactured housing/rec. vehicle

Article Abstract:

Stocks in the manufactured housing industry have performed well in 1998 due to strong earnings, increased demand and shipments, and this is expected to continue. Shipments of recreational vehicles have also increased in 1998 by a factor of 14.5% and industry shipments are expected to increase by 13% in 1999 with slower growth thereafter. Good market conditions and earnings make several of these stocks good investments for 1998 and 1999.
