RE:Canfor and West Fraser report reduced earnings in Q2.

I'd agree. WEF has limited exposure to the commodity cycle for 2x4 #2 lumber. They have a lot of higher value add stuff (like the $800/mfbm cedar vs. the $250/mfbm pine). It's more repair and remodelling sensitive than commodity lumber as well. Should be a decent quarter for a decent company.
