Publishing industry

Article Abstract:

Many traditional book and periodical publishers, such as McGraw-Hill and Playboy, have begun to position themselves in alternative revenue sources, such as the Internet, television, CD-ROM, and videos. However, traditional print revenue growth is difficult for many in this industry and several are attempting to turn themselves around. Patient investors will find a number of valuable selections in this industry in spite its uncertain prospects.

Petroleum (integrated) industry

Article Abstract:

The petroleum (integrated) industry continues to benefit from strong demand for its products, but investment in this industry is untimely. Strong demand for petroleum is being driven in part by continued economic expansion both in the US and abroad and in part by consumer demand for sport utility vehicles, which tend to use higher amounts of gasoline. However, excess petroleum chemical and petroleum refining capacity will help lower earnings.

Petroleum (integrated) industry

Article Abstract:

A 10% increase in production quotas was announced by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Nov 1997, and this will allow Saudi Arabia to expand its market share. However, oil prices will be lower with greater supply from Iran, Russia, and elsewhere in spite of rising demand, but refining margins are improving. Stocks in this industry are untimely with flat earnings forecast in 1998, but there are good individual selections.
