THE ONLY WAY
TO MAKE DOUBLE-DIGIT RETURNS GROWING TREES
The only way to make 10% or more growing trees is to
know with reasonable accuracy how much timber you own and what it’s worth from
the day the trees were planted until the day the harvest is sold. Even though exact predictions of even one
second of the future are impossible, you still must use all available
information to make a real try at it.
The first step is to read every article on www.vardaman.com. If you encounter something that you don’t understand, ask a more
experienced colleague or query me by e-mail at jacksonms@vardaman.com. I realize the magnitude of this task; after
all, I wrote most of them. But the
knowledge you need can’t be gathered in any other way. The usual exchanges on our Discussion Forum
won’t help.
At some point in this course of study, you will
realize that the only way you can obtain more than modest investment returns is with plantations. You can’t do it with natural regeneration and manipulation of natural stands; doing this
successfully is extremely difficult and very expensive. That’s why you see more plantations each
year. Their owners are not the dummies
in the business; they are the smarts.
Finally, you will understand why successful
plantation management requires a superb growth-and-yield model. We selected PTAEDA2V because it is the only
one that we know of that accepts the needed inputs and supplies the needed
outputs. To study a demo of it, click
on the red “PTAEDA2V” button on www.vardaman.com. Since it is a demo, its uses have been
restricted, but it will enable you to sense how to learn to use the actual
model. If you want to learn how to use
the real thing, send us $250, and we’ll e-mail it to you. After you receive it, call up the very long
article on “First Timberland Investment Fund” under the red “Investments”
button. We prepared it especially to
teach the use of PTAEDA2V in our Internet Grad School. Our Jackson staff will be available by phone
at 800+455-4568 until you’ve mastered the model.
