		<description><![CDATA[The International Paper (IP) – Temple-Inland (TIN) merger has been delayed as both parties have agreed to extend the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) review period till February 13, 2012. The extended timeline will provide both parties the time to resolve DOJ&#8217;s concerns regarding the transaction and enter into a definitive agreement on terms that are acceptable to all. The DOJ approval remains the only hurdle in the creation of a company that would enjoy about 40% share of the North American corrugated packaging materials market. In December last year, the merger had been approved by more than 98% of Temple’s shareholders. The pursuit of Temple-Inland had begun in June with International Paper making a $3.3 billion or $30.60 per share offer, all in cash, to buy the former. However, Temple-Inland rejected ]]></description>

For the full year 2011, the company expects pre-tax income in the range of $835 million to $845 million. Meanwhile, free cash flow from operations is expected to be $550 million for the year. The company stated that soft demand in the U.S. and European packaging markets led to a fall in production rates and sales volume during the quarter. Earlier, the company had divulged that it intends to achieve $1 billion of incremental revenues over the next three to five years by pursuing growth strategies like commercial excellence, focus on emerging markets, and product innovation.

This clears a major hurdle in the creation of a company that would enjoy about 40% share of the North American corrugated packaging materials market. There is only one remaining hurdle – the receipt of the important regulatory approval. The chase for Temple-Inland had begun in June with International Paper making a $3.3 billion or $30.60 per share offer, all in cash, to buy Temple-Inland Inc. However, Temple-Inland rejected the offer stating it grossly undervalued its business and was, therefore, not in the best interest of its shareholders. Finally, in September, International Paper inked a deal to acquire Temple-Inland for $32.00 per share in cash. The deal also included assumption of $600 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeadWestvaco Corporation (MWV) recently announced its plan to invest $285 million for building a new state-of-the-art biomass boiler and upgrading the power infrastructure associated with it at its Covington, Virginia, facility. This strategic investment not only improves the profitability of the company but also sharpens its competitive edge in providing high quality paper board packaging for the food, healthcare and tobacco markets across the globe. Besides, the upgrade of power infrastructure makes the facility self-sufficient in electric power and stream generation, thereby reducing the ongoing operating and maintenance costs. The Covington facility in Virginia, the world’s largest solid bleached sulfate (SBS) mill, produces roughly 900,000 tons of high-quality SBS for some of the world’s well known tobacco, food, healthcare and personal care brands and exports nearly 50% of its production ]]></description>

The year-ago numbers were somewhat inflated due to the end of the homebuyer tax credit. The April sales rate was slightly above consensus expectations of a 4.78 million annual rate. April was revised down from an initial read of 5.05 million, to 5.00 million. The history of used home sales is shown in the graph below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/): Sales of single-family homes fell by 3.2% on the month to a rate of 4.24 million, and are off 15.4% year over year.

		<description><![CDATA[Crude prices soared to more than $104 per barrel, the highest level since September 2008, following continued tension in Libya and dragged the markets lower on Friday. Not only did surging crude prices erase most of the gains for the week, it also negated the positive sentiment coming from the decline in unemployment rate. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 2.7% to 19.11. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.7% to close at 12,169.88. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.7% and finished the day at 1,321.15. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 2,784.67 and shed 0.5%. On the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were at 7.73 billion shares and below last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion. Weekly ]]></description>

The year-ago rate of 5.09 million was depressed as everyone was rushing to get the deals done in November 2009 before they thought the first time buyer tax credit would expire. The tax credit was unexpectedly extended (and expanded) at the last minute. Thus, take the year-over-year rise with a grain of salt. The January sales rate was above consensus expectations of a 5.23 million annual rate. On the other hand, December was revised down from an initial read of 5.28 million, so relative to where we thought we were, the month-to-month increase was just 1.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[Home prices are falling again. This morning, the Case-Schiller Index data for August (actually a three month average of June, July and August) was released. For the month, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the composite 10 city index (C-10) fell 0.17% while the broader composite 20 (C-20) was down 0.28%. The government has poured huge resources into supporting the housing market. Most notably through the homebuyer tax credit and through the Fed buying up massive amounts of mortgage-backed paper. The covering of tens of billions of losses at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also part of the government effort to prop up housing prices. For awhile those programs did manage to succeed in stabilizing prices and even caused a slight rebound. Now the government support is fading, and so ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed day on Thursday as investors weighed mixed earnings reports and a possible announcement from the Federal Reserve to buy bonds. 3M Co.’s downbeat earnings and its tepid full-year outlook wiped off market’s initial advance that was fueled by a surprise drop in initial claims. The unexpected drop in first-time claims for unemployment benefits sent the Dow average up 53 points in the morning session. However, as the session progressed the advance petered out and the blue-chip average closed with a loss of 12 points. 3M’s (NYSE:MMM) narrower profit outlook for 2010 and its dim view of the U.S. and European economies weighed in the minds of investors. 3M (NYSE:MMM) weighed heavily on the DJIA after it lowered its 2010 profit view by $0.06 to a range ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Housing Starts surged in August, but the good news is probably better toasted with Miller than with Moet. Total housing starts rose 10.5% to an annualized rate of 598,000, well ahead of consensus expectations of just 550,000. However, that was from July starts that were revised down to a rate of just 541,000 rather than the original 546,000. Also, almost all of the increase can be traced to the extremely volatile apartment and condo part of the housing market. Single family starts, which is what most people think of as homebuilding, rose just 4.3% from July to an annual rate of 438,000. Relative to a year ago, total starts are up 2.2%, and single family starts are actually down 9.1%. It is not as if the housing market was exactly ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The National Association Of Homebuilders sentiment index fell to 15 in March from 17 in February. While the index is well off its record low of 8 set back in January 2009, it remains very depressed. The index is set up so any reading below 50 indicates contraction, and the current rate is well below anything seen prior to the Great Recession (although the history only goes back to 1983). The builders index is a pretty good leading indicator of housing starts. The graph below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows the history of the index plotted against single family home starts. Historically residential investment, with new home construction being the largest part of that, has been the principal locomotive that pulls the economy out of recessions. The dip in the home building ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re not following the money into timberland stocks, you should. Here’s why… Timberland has outperformed the S&#38;P 500 since 1910. In recent history, timber has outperformed the market significantly. Since 1987, the NCREIF Timberland Index climbed by an average of 15% per year, compared to roughly 11% for the S&#38;P 500. Such strong outperformance boils down to one factor – biology. Biology accounts for 65% to 75% of timberland’s performance. Nothing can stop it from adding to the value of timberland investments. Come rain or shine, trees grow. And so does their value. By an average of 2% to 8% per year, in fact. Not even natural disasters can undermine timberland’s value, because companies can still sell damaged timber. For example, after Mount St. Helens erupted, nearly 80% of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing survey slipped to a reading of 56.5 from 58.4 in January, a drop of 1.9 points and below the 58.0 reading that was expected. However, anything over 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is expanding, so this is still a very strong reading, just less strong than in January. It is also a huge improvement over the rates we were seeing a year ago. As the graph below shows, the ISM is a good coincident indicator of the economy, plunging during recessions but then recovering quickly as the recession comes to an end. While the ISM index did not set a new post-war record low in this recession the way that several other economic indicators did, it still got down to very scary ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeadWestvaco Corp. (MWV) reported fourth-quarter 2009 results before the opening bell today. The company swung to a GAAP net profit from continuing operations of $51 million from a GAAP net loss of $16 million in the year-ago period. Excluding special items, earnings per share came in at 22 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents derived from 12 covering analysts. Sales increased marginally by 2.5% to $1.64 billion, compared to $1.60 billion in the year-ago period. The growth was mainly attributable to favorable foreign currency translations, which more than offset sluggish volumes caused by macroeconomic headwinds. In terms of segments, MeadWestvaco&#8217;s flagship Packaging Resources business recorded an 11% decline in profit from continuing operations to $40 million from $45 million in the prior-year quarter. Sales grew marginally ]]></description>

The company said that its board of directors determined that converting to REIT status would best support Weyerhaeuser’s strategic direction.

The company pointed that it is able to convert with its existing business mix of Timberlands, Wood Products, Cellulose Fibers and Real Estate. The company hasn’t fixed a date for conversion, but has said that it would be in 2010. The timing of the conversion depends on the state of the economic recovery, changes in tax policy including shareholder tax rates and the distribution of earnings and profits required under tax laws for ]]></description>
