Louisiana-Pacific Corp (NYSE:LPX)

Housing rebound, lumber rebound, Sandy rebuilding, growing population, low housing inventory

Unprofitable, and margins need to rise too much.

Louisiana-Pacific Corp (LPX)
A manufacturer and distributor of building products. The Company operates in three segments: Oriented Strand Board; Siding; and Engineered Wood Products.

LPX is down 40% from its 52W high, but up approx. 450% from its March 2009 low.
I like it a lot. My kind of value play.

As our housing market imporves so will LPX. Also, LPX could also supply China and other developing markets.

No, no, no, no, no. I hate this for the same reasons I hate HOV, SPF, and the rest of those hellacious companies participating in this recent homebuilders' bubble. Well that and the inclusion of the word "Louisiana" in its name. Louisiana, I think, is our version of Greece. Filled with lazy people. Just a dirty, nasty place that thinks it has cultural assets. And which may indeed have those, but a dirty, nasty place nevertheless.

Late to the party again. There are just too many stocks in this world to keep up with. With the current economy, I feel like a lot of stocks are such excellent buys that I am finding a lot more Green Thumbs than the Red... even if I'm coming in at the 52-week high!

P/E is low, decent compared to 52 week high, P/B is low, we have to start building again soon, I think LP is in position to give us a ride.

Could be sold to WY soon.

maybe `cause hurricane season's on the way, and folks need more plywood...it's solid and moving

Inverse Ratio: Unemployment UP = Housing starts Down

This stock is trading at an all time low and they have a market leading product line when the market turns up in any way. This is a great long term play.

No positive earnings on the horizon and only small growth expected even in the long term.

new housing still week

As soon as the house crisisis over this stockshould take off. Also, lean hogs are at its 5 year low, and several experts see a trend change with prices going up, which will lead to more profits for Louisiana Pacific.

Dillon says buy

We are not going to stop buying wood anytime soon.

Super Value

Currently priced at book value. Cash is half of the current stock price. Yield is currently 3%. Obviously a commodity business, but LPX is the market leader is OSB, which is continuing to replace plywood. The company should gain strength in this cyclical downturn. A bad hurricane season in the South East would play into LPX's strength.
