RichardA 5022 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Tom... My response to that video is that it's scary impressive. Were I 30 years younger, I'd be looking into that as soon as I sold my two trucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coop 7461 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’d have to invest also in a horse and buggy and I know nothing about either. But I’ll leave it up to Rickey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom King 3748 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 It's scary to me because of how fast they can process it, and put it on a ship headed to China. I've seen what has happened to good Pine lumber, in my lifetime, by the fast processing of it. I don't see how the mountains can sustain renewable growth with it being processed this fast. I'd advise anyone to buy up everything that Rickey can produce. It will be more valuable in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 7461 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Now Rickey is a Fidelity Fund type investment? Went from $5.50 bft to ? I’m glad I locked in at $3.85. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 You would need to sale the family farm to buy a kiln like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1223 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Any of you guys that live in Mo need to go to Wappapello Lake Lumberjack show March 23. You will see some of the fastest cutting chainsaws in the US. If I hadn’t turned into a old man I would be going to it. I was at the first lumberjack show they had.
