Q: Hi: I'm interested in adding a timber stock, one of WEF, WFT and CAS, to my portfolio and I can't decide which one is rated ahead of the others in terms of growth potential for the next two years. Can you help? Thanks.

Q: If one wanted to add exposure to the lumber industry do you have a favourite among these? I see that Resolute seems to have run away from the pack. WEF has trailed the others recently and has caught my eye. Please let me know which lumber stock you would suggest and why. It would also be helpful to know if you see adding in this sector as well timed or poorly timed. Thanks

Q: Apart from a brief scare because of the GOP tax proposals US home builders have been on a consistent winning streak YTD. What Canadian companies would you recommend in that sector, since here building permits have been soaring recently?

Q: WFT, SJ, OSB and LNR all seem to be getting hammered today - and I have searched and I don't see any bad news about any of these. Is this due to concerns over NAFTA - or is it something else?
Q: My question concerns forestry stocks. In your opinion are these really just trading opportunities or do they have a place in a buy and hold portfolio that first concentrates on income and secondarily on growth? What are your favourite forestry stocks?
Thank you

Q: Regardless of NAFTA the US is going to require lots of lumber to rebuild after their disasters. WEF doesn't have any US mills but the other three do - but it does have a 3% Yield. The others have very low to zero yields. How would you rank these with regard to growth and solid financials over the next 1 - 2 yrs?

Q: With the recent and ongoing fire situation in B.C., do you see opportunities in any of the co's supplying softwood, or other timber products?
Q: Good Morning: Regarding NAFTA and softwood lumber, having placed tariffs on Cdn producers, our exports have been replaced with lumber from Russia. (Their exports have increased 42% YTD at our expense.) Would you consider our negotiating position is more compelling and would you recommend adding softwood securities now? If so, any recommendations? Thank you. Marty
