Wood Products, Paper Products and Timber Management Stocks
Forest products (lumber, oriented stand board, plywood and more), pulp
and paper and timberland management companies (real estate investment
trusts and limited partnerships) give investors the opportunity to realize
capital gains and receive income from dividends and other cash distributions.
Forestry-related companies produce products that are always in demand
and owning stocks in these companies lets investors benefit from a growing
world economy.
These companies have cyclical businesses so their stock price follow
a cyclical pattern. Often their cycles do not correspond to the cycles
of other economic sectors, so forestry stocks can act to even out the
performance of a stock portfolio.
Many of these companies pay safe dividends so their stocks are appropriate
holdings in a long-term dividend reinvestment portfolio.
Here is a comprehensive list of forestry-related companies.
