WAIT
Forest product industry is dreadful looking but the best part of it is in BC. The ones you want to own would have strong management and strong balance sheets. This one fits the bill. When the downturn stops, this one will be one of the major beneficiaries.
BUY
Doesn’t own the shares, but owns the bonds. It’s a survivor. Acquired a bunch of mills in the Pacific south, which gives it geographical split.
HOLD
The whole forest products area has gone through a difficult period. This is a very good operation. Will be a major beneficiary from the soft wood deal. It will be a major beneficiary when forestry improves.
BUY
US housing slowdown has had a big affect on all the lumber producers. Also, this is a seasonally low period. He is warm towards West Coast producers because an agreement will be announced on softwood lumber any time now.
DON'T BUY
Longer term, excellent management, great assets. Made an acquisition that gave them a lot of synergies. Unfortunately, they are still dependent on the price of lumber. Housing starts are rolling over because of concerns of interest on the housing market.
BUY
He likes lumber (not pulp and paper) companies. If the softwood lumber deal gets done these companies are going to do well.
DON'T BUY
West Fraser Timber would benefit from the settling of the softwood lumber dispute and the Canadian dollar not increasing. It is not likely that these two events will happen soon.
BUY
Down at the moment, but a fabulous company for the longer term.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 8/05. Down 14%.) Thought this was a reasonable pick in the forestry area because they're not pulp and paper. The entire industry has been absolutely battered. Probably undervalued now.
BUY
Near a 52 week low. Very solid company, so a reasonable point to go in. Would prefer other sectors.
BUY
A very good, well run company. Because of the hurricane, you should see a lot more demand.
TOP PICK
There's going to be a tremendous demand for plywood, strandboard and 2X4's to rebuild Mississippi and Louisiana. Cheap.
TOP PICK
Stock has been selling off on worries of the housing market. Has sold off quite sharply in the last 3 months. Likes where their assets are situated. Not a lot of pulp exposure. Very cheap.
DON'T BUY
Came in with about $0.99 on earnings in the last quarter. Sensitive to commodities. A lot of people are worried about US housing which would affect the stock.
TOP PICK
Likes this company mainly for its timber on the ground and that it's mostly a lumber company more than a pulp and paper company. Prefers western Canada companies over eastern. Has some compelling value to it. There's a big bonus if the softwood lumber war is ever concluded.
