Q: Western Forest Products, WEF. Whatdo you think of this Co. It has instituted dividend. Looks to be doing very well. I heard that there is a slow market period currently. I had 1000 shares, which I sold as the stock moved up in price. I want to buy, but looking for a bottom. Is this the bottom, or will it fall further. Any idea about the seasonality.I value your opinion a lot. Thanks.

Q: WEF. Western Forest Products is off its highs close to 30% now. The RSI suggests it is oversold.
Would you agree? And would this be a reasonable time to add to my existing position in this stock?
I am still up nicely over the last year and have been looking for an opportunity to add.

On the other hand do you think some of the "steam" is out of the forestry sector?

Thank you.

Q: Morning Peter and All,

I am planing to establish a position of a lumber stock in my long term holding portfolio. My preferred screening result is WEF:TSX for its low valuation, good geo-location of its reserves, export to Chinese market and reasonable dividend yield. Normally, I can bear 30% price correction for a stock in my long term holding portfolio, provided my buying conditions are still kept well.

Looking for your comments? If my choice is fine, what is your suggestion about the buy prices?

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter. WEF has slipped below $2:30 ($2:26 today) which was a bit of a support level. Do you see it going lower or?...also the us banks are report major decreases in mortgage applications / approval. Morgan Stanley was off 60-70% from this time last year. Do you think the us housing is slipping back. WEF is not that exposed (25-30%) to the us so I am struggling with the big drop from the high of $2.72. I am thinking of buying more but am a bit cautious . your thoughts are appreciated + keep up the great work

Q: Thank you for the excellent advise on securities. 5iR is a wonderful value investment itself.
Can you provide an outlook on the forestry industry over the next few quarters? I have been bullish especially with the decline of the Cdn dollar, the strength in the housing market and potential for an uplift in exports. I am interested in CFP, WEF,IFP.A.
