- - 0e0f Allied Gas and Oil Co.

- - f f AlG
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 9
- + 3 7 percent.
- + Allied is one of the oldest oil companies around. It has suffered because
- + of the problems in Texas, but new management promises that new oil fields
- + in Alaska will pay off big if the environmentalists can be placated. This
- + company is risky, but not likely to be bought out or fail. With luck, it
- + can pay off big. Without, you may never see your money again.

- - e f Brothers Arms, Inc.
- - 3 7 [
- - f f BoA
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 3
- + 3 7 percent.
- + BA is a major small arms producer, long known for its' line of service
- + pistols. The 80s were good for BA, but recent measures to curb gun
- + ownership and the military lay-offs have hurt. BA has been researching
- + field artillery, but peace in Europe may make that a finanical mistake.
- + This company is rather stable now, but signs of a decline are looming.
- + Though unconfirmed, this company might be ripe for a takeover.

- - f f CRY
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 5
- + 3 7 percent.
- + CRY is your typical silicone valley clone maker, with the exception that
- + they continue to survive in a cutthroat buisness. They have managed to
- + prosper with a line of inexpensive quality products. However, with the
- + ever-changing market, CRY's recent cut-backs in research may be an
- + indication of deeper problems. With chairman Sung-Li owning 55 percent of
- + the stock, a takeover is unlikely in the short term, but one would likely
- + be friendly and non-destructive. This company looks like a solid
- + investment, but look out for troubling signs.

- - e f Dali Import Co.
- - 3 7 [
- - f f DaI
- + 3 7 ], no yield.
- + Dali, long known as an importer of wines, spirits, and beer, has been
- + expanding into fabrics. This company is very stable, choosing to re-invest
- + profits into its' shipping fleet instead of splitting them with investors.
- + Look for steady if unspectacular growth. The only dark cloud possible for
- + Dali is the market at home. If there is a recession, look for the value to
- + slide.

- - e f Enderman Banking
- - 3 7 [
- - f f EBa
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 3
- + 3 7 percent.
- + JALB - Just Another Large Bank. This bank was a small concern in in Iowa
- + until 1973 when a new board started buying out other banks. It escaped the
- + farm failures of the midwest by growing to both coasts. A national bank by
- + 1982, it was ready to grow with Reaganomics, and it did, growing at an
- + average rate of 25 percent a year through the 80s. The outlook is mixed
- + with the banking industry currently suffering through massive failures, and
- + bad debts (mainly from bad real-estate and third world loans). Enderman is
- + no exception, having many high-risk loans. Don't look for white-knights,
- + but heady management could bring a return to the golden days, or bad
- + management could mean failure.

- - e f Feelgood Retirement Homes
- - 3 7 [
- - f f FRm
- + 3 7 ], no yield.
- + Feelgood, centered in central Florida, runs numerous elder care centers and
- + planned subdivisions, offering medical, legal, and recreational help to
- + its' residents. Steady but slow growth is all but assured with the graying
- + of America.

- - 3 7 [
- - f f GnQ
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 2
- + 3 7 percent.
- + GnQ is a large food conglomerate. It owns several fast-food chains, along
- + with most of the prepackaged distribution networks for them. Its' other
- + holdings contain a major soda pop company, and a line of succesful second
- + run movie theatres. Growth and outlook are both phenomenal as long as the
- + board refrains from saddling the the company in debt by buying too many
- + other companies.

- - e f Halls Conglomerate
- - 3 7 [
- - f f HCg
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 6
- + 3 7 percent.
- + Major holding company, owns everything from banks to airlines to flower
- + shops. Currently saddled in massive debt from the acquisitions of the
- + last five years. Rumors abound and conflict. This company is known for
- + its' rollercoaster stock rides, the key is knowing when to get on and off.
- + You could make millions, or lose it all. This company was put together to
- + make money for its' board of trustees. They could burn you, or let you
- + coast on their coattails. Halls is not for the weak at heart, or shallow
- + of wallet.

- - e f Instant Insurers Corp. [Ins
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 8
- + 3 7 percent.
- + Big insurance concern with a high annual pay-off. IIC is big, but some
- + analysts warn it may be too big. Known for insuring everything, some warn
- + that the high yields paid to investors may hamper the ability to pay claims
- + in case of natural disaster. IIC is a high yield company not known for
- + growth.

- - e f Junk-Bond Mutuals, Inc.
- - 3 7 [
- - f f JuB
- - 3 7 ], average yield :
- - a f 10
- + 3 7 percent.
- + The ultimate high-risk company. A corporation that feeds off other
- + corporations. A child of the free-market politics of the last ten years,
- + it will be interesting to see how JBM adjusts to the slower economy of the
- + 90s. A high profit company geared to making money. It is ripe for
- + speculation. You could find yourself rich, or you could find yourself
- + reaping the whirlwind of financial failures. Get rich quick, or never be
- + heard from again.
