Fundamental Analysis  

Timber is a cyclical business which is in a downtrend.But the advantage of this business is that when conditions turn bad  they can let the trees grow increasing the value of the assets.But the stock is still too expensive and most probably will go down further.Another consideration which might change the equation would be the plans to use woodchips as fuel.If that works out it could be a big positive for the company.
