Thrift industry
Article Abstract:
The thrift industry is doing well during 1997, and these stocks are considered timely for investors. Increased earning assets, decreased credit-related costs and lower overhead expenses have boosted profits for many firms. Many companies have expanded their market by acquiring other firms, and consolidation has occurred regularly in the industry. Federal rate increases would affect these stocks, but this is unlikely to occur in the near future.
