DON'T BUY

The company just can't seem to get it right. The demand for paper hasn't grown as fast as a lot of anaylists thought it would. Faced with higher energy costs.

WEAK BUY
Doesn't own any of the eastern Canadian forest stocks, but starting to warm up to them. They seemed to be bottoming out. There has been overcapacity in the east, but the big producers have been taking this out. Cnd$, low commodity prices have been working against them. If you are a speculator, the worst is probably over. These companies have decimated their balance sheets so they are high risk.

WAIT
Forestry products are one of the industry dogs that may finally have its day. He believes in a strong economy for 2006. Based on projected cash flows, some of these companies are very cheap. Looking at some of these but haven't bought yet. Would like to see a quarter or two of these earnings actually materialise.

DON'T BUY
Looking at it as a possible buy, but has backed away because of balance sheet issues. Stock is starting to go up because the industry has taken out all kinds of capacity. Demand has not been picking up, but because of too much capacity, mills have been shut down. Prefers playing the lumber stocks in western Canada.
