Securities brokerage industry
Article Abstract:
The securities brokerage industry had higher earnings in 1996 and 1997 than it did in the years 1988 through 1994, and these stocks have outperformed the market. Profits are expected to remain high in the near future, although not at the level from 1994 to 1997. The industry is timely for 1998, but the potential for appreciation over the next three to five years is not high, and investors may want to consider future developments before commitment.

Article Abstract:
Profits for the securities brokerage industry remained high during the 3rd qtr of 1996, even though they were not as good as in the 2nd qtr of 1996. The international movement to free-market economies, globalization, and the increasing investment activity of the baby-boom generation are long-term favorable trends for the securities industry. Although earnings and share prices are volatile, this industry is timely for the 1999-2001 period.
