Retail store industry
Article Abstract:
Department stores are expected to have mixed financial results in 1998 due to increased competition and the lack of store-opening opportunities with the lessened consolidation within the industry. On the other hand, Wal-Mart and other discount store chains are forecast to have gains in both market share and earnings. Investors need to evaluate these stocks on an individual basis as their growth potential through the years 2001-2003 is limited.

Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
The General Motors strike and the Asian economic crisis were factors in the slowing US economic growth in the 2nd qtr of 1998 although the economy is continuing to move ahead. Specialty retailer gains during the second six months of 1998 are expected to be moderate given this economy, and merchants who provide effective values and prices will do best. Investors need to be selective and make commitments to only the most timely retail stocks.
