Cashing in on Commodities: Lumber & Paper Mills Struggle as Timber Stands T
2008-05-26 15:48:00 There?s a classic squeeze going on in the timber markets right now. As you might expect, the U.S housing slump is reducing demand for finished lumber. Meanwhile, timber, pulpwood, and paper prices are rising worldwide - but curiously, profit margins are eroding. What?s up with that? The global commodity boom has created a supply/demand price imbalance between the four distinct industry sectors that rely on timber as a raw material. In fact, that imbalance is a huge mismatch. And savvy investors may be able to wring substantial returns from the winner. You see, timber companies have shrewdly maintained monopoly-like control of…SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Cashing in on Commodities: Lumber & Paper Mills Struggle as Timber Stands Tall", url: "http://jutiagroup.com/2008/05/-26/cashing-in-on-commodities-lu-mber-paper-mills-struggle-as-ti-mber-stands-tall/" });

Hardwood Lumber Defined and Explained
2008-04-03 18:21:00 Building a hutch or putting down wood floor for the living room are two jobs that can be completed with relative ease. The most important question to answer is what type of hardwood lumber you want to use. First you will want to learn a few things about hardwoods. Then you will be able to make an educated decision. Hardwood is wood that comes from broad leaf trees or two that produce nuts. Walnut, Maple and Cherry trees are the ones that are used mist frequently in North America. The climate in North America is perfect for the trees so they grow in great abundance. Lumber from any of these trees is labeled hardwood. However, this generic label is somewhat misleading because there are major differences in the types. Industrials groups have worked hard to give rating to various lumbers to help differentiate between them. Different strengths and grades are defined to let consumers know which ones are the hardest and which are soft. Knowing the difference between the grades is extremely...

Lumber prices half of ‘04 peak
2008-03-19 08:57:00 Want to see how housing weakness ripples through the economy? A key benchmark of lumber prices fell again last week, putting the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price off 13% already this year and at virtually half its 2004 peak. Typical framing lumber went for $238 per 1,000 board feet as of Friday, the Random Lengths newsletter reports. That’s a far cry from August 2004, as the national building boom was nearing its zenith. Then, the same lumber was going for $474 for the same amount. Here’s what an exec from wood giant Weyerhuaser told investors last month, according to a transcript provided by SeekingAlpha … At this time last year, we predicted that our Wood Products business would experience significant losses due to weak market conditions, but we didn’t foresee the historic downturn that haunted 2007. Even the most pessimistic projections didn’t anticipate that prices for oriented strand board would drop more than 40% from levels in early...

Pressure treated lumber and tornados
2008-03-01 23:53:00 Years ago I had a tornado rip though my neighborhood, downing thousands of trees. These trees crushed and tore down hundreds of homes.

I was able to use allot of the old railing wood pieces.All measures have been taken to extend the life of wood, a of definition wood preservation or timber treatment.

Lumber’s price tumble axes 50,000 mill jobs
2007-11-13 15:48:00 If you want to see serious economic fallout from the national housing slump, look at lumber prices and wood mill job counts. Start with price. One key wood industry benchmark, the framing lumber composite price index by the Random Lengths news service, is … • Down 18% since June. • Down 33% since start of 2006. (See the chart at right! Click on it for larger version.) • Down 45% since recent cyclical peak in May ‘04. Shawn Church, editor at Random Lengths, told your blogger that on an inflation-adjusted basis lumber prices are at lows last seen the the early 1980s lumber industry debacle. Low prices means less work. That 1980s slump shuttered mills across North America and cost 1-in-5 U.S. wood mill workers their job. In the past 18 months, federal job stats show 50,000 less wood-factory workers nationwide, a 9% cut. U.S. wood mills employ 517,000 as of October, the smallest workforce in 14 years. “This has been a historical downturn that mirrors the historical ...

Great Tavarez Start Ruined By The Lack Of Lumber
2007-08-20 12:33:00 Julian Tavarez tamed the mighty LA Angels for seven sparkling innings, and the bullpen finished the job. Unfortunately, the Angels' Joe Saunders was better, limiting the Red Sox to one run on six hits. The final score was 3-1 Angels, reducing the AL East lead over the NY Yankees to 4 small games. If they overtake the Sox and climb into first, it will be because of improved pitching and superlative hitting. The Sox have had great pitching all year, but their offensive output has not approached that of the pinstripers. They're not even in the same league, hitting wise.A three city road trip looms on the near horizon, with three games, starting tonight in Tampa Bay. Then it's on to Chicago for four and New York for three. Every game is vital as we enter the six week stretch run to the post season. But to stay in first place, the hitting must improve. I've said it all year, but the Sox have been a .500 club for coming up on three months. And that's completely unacceptable.Click on ...

Oil, Silver, Gold and Lumber?
2007-05-27 21:01:00 I have read an article about these four source of income in Daily Wealth website which the author delivered to me every other day. Honestly if you want to gain money in the long run, you must invest your money on the stocks which deal with these four products. Lately the price of oil double and it really affect around the world. Gold also has increased its value recently. So if you bought stocks which cater in these two products you end up a lot of money. But a lot of people overlook silver and lumber which are also good investment. Silver right now is also in demand. Its yearly production could not sustain the yearly demand so it is also good to invest in this kind of metal. Lumber investment could be done by planting or through stock buying.There is no other right time to invest on silver than right now. Monex Deposit Company is trusted on precious for more than 30 years. They offer silver in coin, bullion or ingots forms. The US government which has a large stock of silver on ear...

Choosing your Storage Shed Lumber
2007-05-26 03:37:00 Build your own Storage Shed - Choosing the Lumber By: Daniel Lazaj Wood is the most common material for building a storage shed. When buying the lumber for your shed, inspect it for warping, twisting, or loose knots. Avoid buying unseasoned or green wood, it can shrink, and split as it dries.Pass up lumber with these flaws, since it will likely ruin your storage shed. Kiln dried lumber is a good choice for framing your storage shed. It is kiln dried, and not as heavy as green, or unseasoned lumber. The better grades of kiln dried lumber won't crack, or twist, as bad as green, or unseasoned lumber.When choosing lumber, watch for cupping, a lumber defect, it can be spotted by laying a straightedge accross the width of a board and looking for gaps.The grades of lumber most commonly used are 1, 2, 3, 4 common. No.4 common is the cheapest grade and usually has alot of open kn...

Schlumberger: The premier oil service play
2007-05-02 06:00:00 “The global supply picture is extremely bullish for crude oil,” says energy expert Elliott Gue, editor of the industry-leading The Energy Strategist. The advisor adds, “We're playing the strengthening environment for oil and gas with a slew of services, equipment, and exploration firms including Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), the world’s premier oil services play.” “OPEC's current oil output isn’t high enough to allow global oil importers to build their crude stocks ahead of the summer driving season. The fundamentals of strong growth in demand, coupled with static to falling supplies, are supporting higher global oil prices. “Add in continued unrest and weak output from Nigeria, terrorist attacks in Algeria and tension in the Middle East, and there are plenty of reasons to be concerned that supplies could be cut even further from current anemic levels. ”All told, I see this as a recipe for a significant rally in crude.

Slumbering Offense Awakes
2007-04-13 19:25:00 At the beginning of the post-season, I believed there were three keys to the series between New Jersey and Tampa Bay.1. Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis against John Madden and Jay Pandolfo2. Martin Brodeur vs. Johan Holmqvist3. Secondary Scoring: Ward - Richards - Perrin vs. Parise - Zajac - LangenbrunnerUnsurprisingly, these three factors were the ones that essentially decided the keys to last night's performance. First, Lecavalier and St. Louis ran all over Madden and Pandolfo, demonstrating that even two of the best checkers in the NHL can't shut down Vinny and Marty. Give John and Jay a little bit of slack, though - one goal was on a 5-3 and the blame should go to Johnny Oduya, who looked like the weak link in the chain all night (expect Richard Matvichuk to be in the lineup in his place for either Game 2 or Game 3), and a second was deflected in off of Brian Rafalski on a Lecavalier wraparound.Secondly, Johan Holmqvist looked like a goaltender with no playoff experien...
