Foreign electronics/entertainment
Article Abstract:
Investors who are interested in foreign electronics, consumer electronics, audio-visual equipment or semiconductor industry securities should base their decisions on the performances of individual corporations in these fields rather than the overall industrial performance which is ranked average with other equities. Consumer electronic sales have increased in Japan after a competition brought about price cuts in early 1995. New copyright laws will assist foreign companies introducing digital video discs.

Foreign electronics/entertainment
Article Abstract:
Foreign sales of Japanese consumer electronic products increased in 1996 with the weakness of the yen and lower prices for Japanese goods. Prices for memory chips from foreign companies fell 80% in 1996, but cuts in production from chipmakers will help prices stabilize. Digital video disks, which will replace video cassettes, have also reached the market in 1996. Many stocks in this industry are good investments through 1999-2001.
