Cash Flow seems improving

I don't like this business as a long term core holding however.

"Rayonier, Inc. engages in the sale and development of real estate and timberland management, as well as in the production and sale of cellulose fibers in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia."

As for Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. (PCL).

same answer.

Too much risk to concentrate in a single sector.

Like the wood stocks huh?

If I was going to put money in something and forget it long term, I'd put it into major index funds such as the S&P 500 and Mid Cap 400, and a little in the Russel 2000 (Small Cap Index).
