Steel (general) industry
Article Abstract:
The steel industry has not benefited from the favorable US economy of the 1990's, although there has been some improvements for industry basics in recent quarters. Firm prices and orders from abroad have helped the industry, but prospects for the long term are not well-defined. Investors may find some good prospects in this sector for the future.

These stocks, however, are not timely for the year 2000.
