Good solid company that has been beaten down by the housing market. When things improve this stock will fly. Long term.

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.

paying a 26% div while losing about as much per share as they are worth sounds like shorting material to me.
Recs
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.
Recs
No positive earnings on the horizon and only small growth expected even in the long term.

Probably early but this is a market leader in OSB and can earn $2+ per share once the industry rebounds.

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.

Louisiana Pacific makes engineered timber products, and has been crushed by the housing crisis. At this valuation, I hope they are bottoming.

We are not going to stop buying wood anytime soon.

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.

Warren Buffet pick

Looks cheap, chart is trending upwards, housing market should be bottoming out by 2Q of 07, recent uptrend reflects that view.

will turn quarter after housing turns. 4-6 quartrers of ugliness ahead followed by appreciation.
