Article Abstract:
The metal fabricating industry has continued to benefit from the good US economy in 1999, and demand, both foreign and domestic, is expected to be good in the year 2000 and later for metal products. Long-range prospects, however, vary in this industry as the various sectors provide materials and components for a wide variety of manufacturers. Several of these stocks offer good growth prospects, but investors need to be selective in their choices.

Article Abstract:
The US economy is expected to moderate in late 1999 and the year 2000 due to the labor market, interest rates, higher oil and gas prices and other economic factors. However, short-term demand for the metal fabricating industry appears to be good, but prospects for the longer term are more mixed with a slower US economy possible. These stocks are not timely in 1999, but several have price appreciation potential for the next three to five years.
