Article Abstract:
Share prices in the cable TV industry have fallen slightly in 1999 and the year 2000, but progress on most fronts will likely change this. Continued consolidation, open access, divestiture of assets, and satellite communications are leading to better balance sheets in the industry. These stocks are timely for the year 2000, but most are risky and best suited for aggressive investors.

Article Abstract:
Cash flow has allowed many cable TV stocks to rise in price in spite of the absence of earnings within the industry. Capital investment levels in the cable TV industry are expected to remain high in 1999, competition is also increasing, and cable TV rates will be deregulated once again. These stocks are timely in 1999, but suitable mainly for aggressive investors as they have a considerable amount of risk.
