Top 10 Forestry Stocks To Buy For 2014

There�� an old clich茅 about real estate investing that states that the three cardinal rules are: location, location, location. Clever pundits have borrowed upon this refrain and glibly state that the three most important or cardinal rules of investing are: diversify, diversify, diversify. Careful analysis will reveal that diversification is a multifaceted concept that has different meanings, benefits and even risks depending on how it�� used and what its ultimate purpose is. Therefore, my goal is to examine this ubiquitous investing concept from various angles and perspectives.

Diversification Within or Across

When thinking about diversification there are at least two broad categories to contemplate. The first I would call broad diversification or spreading the risk across numerous asset classes. To me, this is analogous to the "throw as much mud on the wall as you can while hoping that some will stick" idea. Many experts advocate the diversifying broadly approach. But the idea of diversifying just for diversification's sake is not always a sound idea. In other words, I would never advocate putting money into an investment that prudent analysis indicated was a bad place to invest just for the sake of so-called diversification.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By James E. Brumley]

  It's still too soon to say Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:SVNT) is off and running. In fact, the stock's decidedly NOT off and running yet. But, it's not too soon to put SVNT on your watchlist of potential breakout candidates, as it's much closer to a breakout than most anyone can see.

• [By James E. Brumley]

  Since 2008's implosion from the stock, the interest in Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:SVNT) has been waning. There was a brief burst of bullishness in September of last year, which stirred the bullish pot a little. But, when SVNT started to fade in October of that year - just as quickly as it had perked up - what lingering hopes there were for the stock finally started to melt away. By the middle of this year, pretty much everyone had written Savient Pharmaceuticals off as a lost cause. Big mistake. Over the last few days, SVNT has almost wiggled its way buck into a bullish zone.

• [By Neha Chamaria]

  On the same day that DuPont declared its intentions, Tronox (NYSE: TROX  ) , another big TiO2 producer, chipped in with a similar announcement to increase prices effective June 1. These two were among the only major TiO2 companies that were left to jump on the price-hike bandwagon. Others, like Huntsman (NYSE: HUN  ) and Kronos Worldwide, already took the plunge some weeks back.

• [By John Udovich]

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Robert Rapier]

  The third and most speculative category of MLP that should benefit from expanding US natural gas production is engaged in building and operating LNG export terminals, or in the operation of ships that carry LNG. As US LNG exports ramp up in the years ahead, partnerships that own fleets of special LNG carriers, like�GasLog Partners�(NYSE: GLOP),�Teekay LNG Partners�(NYSE: TGP) and�Golar LNG�(Nasdaq: GLNG) should flourish.

• [By Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin]

  In this article I want to talk about permitting - but before that, remember that the first LNG proposal that will export BC and Alberta gas, the Douglas Channel project with Golar (GLNG), is so small at 0.2 bcf/d that it doesn't need all this permitting.

The breakdowns refocused concern that the distribution of trading over dozens of mostly automated venues has made U.S. securities markets fundamentally flawed.
