Computer software & services
Article Abstract:
The year 2000 computer transition problem could be not only expensive for computer service and software companies, but the way that dates are coded for computers could also bring many businesses to a halt. The expenses for conversion could be over $100 bil in the US alone. However, the business need for technology gives this industry bright prospects. Many of these stocks have superior potential for the next three-to-five year period.

Financial services
Article Abstract:
The financial services industry has benefitted from the economic expansion of the 1990s in the US as an increased number of borrowers and manageable assets have allowed revenues and profits to soar. In addition, commercial banks have purchased many finance companies in order to diversify away from their core operations. These stocks are timely in 1998, but investors need to focus on the least volatile for the next 12 months.
