Cement & aggregates
Article Abstract:
The booming construction market in the first six months of 1999 has been good for the cement and aggregates industry with higher product demand coupled with lower production costs. Increased transportation spending, the expansion of capacity, and industry consolidation are enhancements for this sector, as well. These stocks are expected to outperform the market in 1999 and most companies in this industry have potential for the next three to five years.

Consolidation within the aggregates segment is also expected to be a financial aid, as well. However, investors need to be selective as long-term potential for these stocks is limited.

Article Abstract:
US weather in 2001 has had a negative effect on the cement and aggregates industry, but federal spending on transportation may help the industry's finances. Non-rock products have been hurt by a number of factors, such as dumping. Investors need to be selective when evaluating these issues.
