888max: lemme try to digest your sentence. u mean it is easier to buy a blue chip than to buy and identify early a penny/small stock? so ppl who buy blue chip are less skilful than one who buy penny/small stock? | ||||||||

sohguanh, Warren Buffett : "It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price." Picking any blue chip stock to hold for long term is nothing to shout than to compare 'selecting a penny stock' that turn out to become a blue chip stock one day. |

"it will be a long long wait before it hits $0.3 again..... regret for not selling all, back to square again." Nobody expect this subprime thing to affect STI so badly, tio bo? You're lucky enough to have sold off 50% of your Unifiber holdings when it was @0.32cts. But let be honest ..... did you use the funds after selling off your UFS shares and proceed to buy another recent 'bargain counter' and got stuck also with huge paper loss?? Or you're smart enough to hold onto all your cash without buying until today. |

Hi novicetrader , I didn't sell when it was trading @0.34cts. I definitely won't sell at current price. Will hold onto my share, waiting for my target price of at least.... 0.50cts. |

jm2212: which is why when i go super long on a stock i make sure it has a good history of dividend payout cuz sometimes the price can stay stagnant for months but if dividends is good and fundamentals good sooner or later BB will come in and play. by that time they come in to fry the price goes up you reap both capital gain and during waiting time you are compensated with dividend yield | ||||||||

888max, I am heavily vested in this counter and I believe there is definitely a very strong future for this counter but with the current sentiments in the regional stock markets, I guess we just have to dig our heels deep in and hold on. No reason why the US stock markets should react as such with all the central banks pouring in money to sustain liquidity and to boost investors' confidence, and with the FED lowering the interests rates, it is all just sentiments that is pulling down the market. We just have to acknowledge the fact that it will take a while for investors' confidence to return. I am very confident that the markets will rebound, and rebound very strongly. Its a matter of whether one can hang on in there and have the guts to hang on in there. Its bargains galore. Counters that are out of our reach are now affordable. Afterall this is the name of the game and we have gone thru such cycles before. |

It the only tree around in sgx to bark around. The next closest counter is GZ, only dealing with seedling and sapling and NOT timber. |

After a therapeutic break (trees n cool fresh air) I went back to civilisation n found out what a rout the mkt took these past weeks. After looking around I think the mkt will be weak for a while. I m surprise to see my friend still barking up the wrong tree! Anyway your persistence and patience hopefully will pay off. I got to go now and get supplies for my next hibernation out of civilisation. Chao! | ||||||||

BBs & funds are turning into timber investment for safe heaven during market downturn. "According to Grantham, forestry is the only low-risk, high-return asset there is: it has, he says, risen steadily in price for 200 years and has returned an average of 6.5% a year for the last century. It is also counter cyclical ? it has been the only asset class in existence that has risen in three out of the four market collapses of the 20th century, says Grantham. That?s not to say there haven?t been short-term blips in the fortunes of forestry investors. There have. " Sumitomo Forestry Expands Abroad as Home Orders Drop (Update3) By Kathleen Chu and Kazue Somiya June 21 (Bloomberg) -- Sumitomo Forestry Co., a Japanese homebuilder and timber producer, plans to spend 360 billion yen ($2.9 billion) in 10 years to buy local real estate and foreign forests as a drop in orders for new homes crimps profit. Sumitomo Forestry's housing orders fell a second month in May, dropping 8 percent from a year earlier. That makes it harder for Sumitomo Forestry to meet its forecast for pretax operating profit to decline 1.2 percent to 21 billion yen in the year to March 2008, company President Ryu Yano said in Tokyo. ``We will probably have a hard time achieving our current profit target for the year,'' Yano, 67, said in an interview. ``With concerns such as the possibility of an interest rate increase and uncertainties about pension funds, we don't see any improvement in the housing sector on the horizon.'' Japan's longest economic expansion since World War II hasn't revitalized the country's house construction industry, with housing starts averaging 100,000 a month since the boom got going in February, 2002, lower than the average for the preceding five years. The country's existing real estate is luring buyers after land prices rose in 2006 for the first time in 16 years. The company plans to finance investments using cash generated each year and by borrowings from banks, as well as possibly through bond sales. The timing and details of any bond sales haven't been decided, said Eita Muto, general manager of Sumitomo Forestry. Sumitomo Forestry may struggle to redress its focus on home building, said Yoji Otani, a property and construction analyst at Credit Suisse Group in Tokyo. Risks ``It's too late and risky for Sumitomo Forestry to take on such a large scale of investment, larger than we have seen before,'' Otani said. ``Prices have already risen. Sumitomo Forestry will need to study carefully before investing.'' Sumitomo Forestry shares dropped 4.4 percent on June 12, the biggest one-day decline in three months, after Daiwa Institute's Hiroki Kawashima cut his rating for the company to ``neutral'' from ``outperform,'' citing the drop in monthly housing orders. The shares fell for a third day, dropping 26 yen, or 2.1 percent, to a seven-week low of 1,228 yen at the close of trading on the Osaka Exchange. The company's market value is about 218 billion yen. With Japan's population expected to shrink, Sumitomo Forestry plans to reduce its reliance on home building by investing in foreign timber plantations and amid a rebound in Japan's real estate market as land prices rose for the first time in 16 years. ``We have been very cautious in terms of investment and have tried to avoid risks, but I think it is time for us to take on some risks to invest in new areas,'' Yano said. ``This is a big change for us.'' Timber, Nursing Homes Sumitomo Forestry will spend 160 billion yen overseas over a decade to secure timber supplies, Yano said. The company will invest 200 billion yen over the same period to acquire land and develop residential properties and nursing homes in Japan. Sumitomo Forestry plans to buy 80 billion yen worth of assets in Oceania and North America over the next five years. ``A majority of the investment will be spent for plantation land,'' said Yano. ``It used to take 30 to 50 years to harvest, now with industrial reforestation and the plantation of so- called fast-growing trees only takes 10 years to harvest.'' The company will invest 50 billion yen to buy land and develop residential properties and nursing homes over the next five years. Sumitomo Forestry plans to triple its investment in real estate to spend 150 billion yen in the following five years. ``We see a great need for nursing homes,'' Yano. |

US Plum Creek Timber move to 'new high' despite housing slump and stock selldown in US. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PCL "Timber has a low correlation with other asset classes and hasn?t been affected by the stockmarket downturn, says David Budworth in The Sunday Times. ?The trees have never heard of the Nasdaq bubble? and they don?t know what a War on Terror is,? says Steve Sjuggerud on Dailywealth.com.
