In a down market, and continued retraction in housing this is a GS trade. With the yield and a general recovery in the economy in 09 this is an early entry. Quality over quantity. I hope to get a shot at this lower later on, if not this is a good entry.

One thing I like is when a stock is 'hated' and despised by the market. This is one of those stocks. The once polish of a small cap gem turned out to be (for the time being)well "Like investing in a box of rocks!" I like rocks. This company has plenty of that and in an area where those rocks will be worth lots to companies (oil) doing business in that area. Cost over runs has knocked this stock in to the dirt. If the price holds till February 2008 I will double the investment in this unloved gem.

Stock looks to be recovering from late '07 where shares could be had for .80 or better. Still long term bullish on the stock, technology & company. Neutral on management.

Just adding to the core holding for this portfolio. Stock has been trading sideways for some time. No new news.

Just a trade. Looking for a $1.98 - 2.02 exit price. Which may seem quite aggressive, but if things look to slow at 100% returns I may take off half my investment and let the other run long term.

Looking at the company's potential currently.

Looking to produce pipeline gas which should occur early Feb. 08. Recent insider buy in at .03 cents a share.

With market volatility punishing the small caps the portfolios performance as indicated by the charts has taken on water. This is the part where getting "there" is half the fun. Knowing risks, the growth story of developing companies and markets is of key importance. Short term risk in smaller market capitalization companies can be a bit of a roller coaster at times. This is one of those times. Opportunity such as this allows one to make key investment choices through evaluation and price performance, or lack there of, looking beyond the volatility of the choppy markets is where long term gains have their seed beds rowed. Happy Trading! Regards.

With a severe dip in valuation through market conditions and understanding to the opportunities available in the Alberta Oil Sands. With $1-2 billion in assets coming into production BMD will generate some interest from someone. Roads and production will happen in Canada and this company's assets are well positioned to benefit from that fact. There's the given, now the unknown... With failed execution by management to successfully control and project production cost and the pass on developing other resources available over time the stock decline reflects that uncertainty. With available contracts existing and future this company will be purchased by a competent company if management can not govern it's business and reduce costs in development. We have more than doubled our holding in BMD 11/13/07. Regards.

If prices hold to the bottom until Monday, we will be going in for another buying opportunity. The story on this stock is intact, despite the downside of price depreciation in the short term. Unless the 'technology' moat is bridged on their patented processing or people no longer need nutrition this will hold the test of time and the markets. a second concern would be a prolonged build in receivables or pronounced management failure execution.
