Entertainment industry
Article Abstract:
Higher operating profits were seen in the entertainment industry in 1997 and early 1998, both contributing to and benefitting from the strong US economy, and enjoying stable growth. The industry is also being changed by advances in technology, which can create opportunities in market segments, but can also be a threat in areas such as radio and TV broadcasting. These stocks are not timely in 1998, but several may be good selections for investors.

Article Abstract:
Distribution and synergies are two of the major reasons that the larger companies in the entertainment industry, such as Viacom Inc, Time Warner Inc, and Walt Disney Co, have been able to expand. In addition, radio has become a popular medium in the 1990s after being out of favor, and worldwide and US culture has become permeated with entertainment. Many of these stocks are worthwhile investments, although the industry is untimely overall.

Article Abstract:
Changing domestic norms in the US, along with limited free time and energy and higher discretionary income has made entertainment an alternative to travel and other forms of spending. However, it is difficult to predict the public's taste in entertainment values, and high production costs have held industry profits down in spite of rising revenues. Timeliness for the stocks in this industry is mid-range and investors must be selective.
