YAHOO! AND PTAEDA2V: ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR CREATING WEALTH

The Internet is the equivalent of all the books ever published rolled into one and is being added to by millions of persons every day. In such an enormous storehouse of information, you’d never find anything if it weren’t for YAHOO!, the big search engine, and if you can’t find it, you can’t use it to build value and wealth. YAHOO! is so very valuable because it ORGANIZES the information so that you can find it.

PTAEDA2V is to plantation forestry what YAHOO! is to the Internet. A combination growth-and-yield model and financial analysis program, it ORGANIZES all information needed for the most profitable kind of forestry. With it, landowners can learn for themselves how to produce the greatest returns from their individual properties. It enables them to calculate the returns from using all modern techniques, either individually or in combination. All data required to use it for any property are freely available to the public. We believe that it is the only available software package with these capabilities.

It is the only software package for which essential inputs, stumpage prices for pine plantations, are posted on the Internet. Click on "Just The Facts" or "Green Facts" on www.vardaman.com.

It is also the only software package supported by a panel of leading scientists who meet periodically to adjust inputs for it to reflect the latest research findings. The most recent meeting occurred in Atlanta in August 1998, and a report of its findings appears in our newsletter and on www.vardaman.com.

PTAEDA2V is described in detail on www.vardaman.com. Just click on "Software." In addition to learning how it was developed, you can work with it on-line with four typical tracts. Finally, you will find on the same site the essential data missing from other packages: a monthly report of stumpage prices in each of the 16 JMV&CO territories.

It requires work to learn to use YAHOO! efficiently, but millions now know how. More work is required to use PTAEDA2V. It is not a computer game for amusement; it is a complicated tool for serious investors. It’s worth the effort; we use it to appraise all the PPICsâ that we buy. On the other hand, if you are not satisfied after a 30-day trial, send it back, and we will be happy to refund your money.
