RE:RE:Brian Madden - Don't BuyThe lumber companies' financial positions today are pretty unbelivable Take Canfor for example:
CFP has $1.307 billion in net cash, which is $10.68 per share in cash.
They're trading at $22.87. Deduct the net cash, they're only trading at $12.19.
At the current price, their Price to Book is 0.633.
If you exclude the net cash, their Price to Book is 0.337. So in other words, based on their productive tangible assets excluding cash, they're trading almost at an all time low.
