TIMBER AND TEAK INVESTMENTS

Timber has provided one of the best safest investments over time beating the long run returns on stocks from 1973 -2008. Managed timber has returned roughly 15% annually, while stocks returned about 11%. Timber is uncorrelated to stocks and offer an excellent way to balance your portfolio as its value rises even when stocks are falling. The price of timber has consistently beaten inflation over time. For investing in timber you can buy stocks in publicly traded companies like Rayonier RYN or Plum Creek Timber (PCL). But the more attractive deals are found in small established companies that have high yield tropical hard wood plantations such as teak. We feel the best company is Panama Teak Forestry. They offer shares for sale that have steadily increased in price over time due to the well managed plantations that they acquire and maintain. Panama Teak Forestry is a large enough company to take advantage of the economies of scale that are very important in timber investing. Specializing in the smaller high yield teak industry giving them a distinct advantage over many larger publicly traded timber companies.
