Wow, this stock was hammered today! The company has terrific management and really knows how to lean itself down during hard times. Yes, they will be losing money, they produce lumber (among other things) so with the home building freeze it's a given. That said, I think they've got some terrific assets in their timberlands. Once this business cycle bottoms out this company will be one of the first to turn around. Meanwhile it's paying a handy dividend, having just declared a 60 cent quarterly payout on the 16th of October.

As part of David Merkel’s rules on industry selection, he lists the following:

  • Buy strong companies in weak industries when the industry pricing outlook seems hopeless.
  • Buy moderate to strong companies in strong industries where the earnings power and duration are underestimated.
  • Underweight/ Ignore/ Short industries where pricing power is likely to be negative for several more years, and especially industries that are in terminal decline.
  • Avoid fad industries. There are P/E levels that no industry can grow into.

Weyerhaeuser: Returning to Its Roots Graphic_rating_buy WY
-30.58%
in 527 days

Weyerhaeuser (WY) was founded as a timber/lumber enterprise. In the 1970s or thereabouts, many wood products (lumber/plywood) producers diversified as a form of integration into paper and packaging products. The reason was lumber mills produced waste material (chips, etc) which could be used in making paper pulp. Thus, WY added paper, as did Georgia Pacific, while International Paper (IP) went the other way by getting into the wood products business.

<>Now WY is unwinding that diversification and returning to its roots. Just guessing at the strategic rationale: the paper business is very capi...
