On September 7, 2007, Hurricane Felix made landfall on the North Atlantic region of Nicaragua. The hurricane's devastating winds and rain leveled the old-growth tropical forest on a gigantic scale.
Because of the extensive damage, the Nicaraguan government issued emergency contracts for the Timber Recovery Project to private sector companies such as Valcor S.A., which was chosen to head the recovery efforts within a large segment of the disaster area. Valcor is uniquely suited to this task since they own one of the largest sawmill and lumber processing companies in Nicaragua and because they have timber and mining concession agreements in place with all of the municipalities involved, approved by the government.
The dimensions of the affected area are approximately 666,000 hectares, or around 1,600,000 acres. Valcor also has tentative concessions in place with other municipalities to do the same thing there.
If you've never considered investing in timber as a profit strategy, you should…
The fact is, managed timber (as the professional investors call it) has actually beaten the stock market - with less risk - over the long run. From 1973-2002, the sector returned roughly 15% annually. Stocks returned 11%.
Even better, the returns on timber are less volatile than those of the stock market. And they are especially good in bear markets…
During the Great Depression, for example, timber was up 233%, while the price of stocks fell more than 70%. In fact, during the three worst market downturns of the 20th century (1911-20,1929-41 and 1966-81), timber outperformed the S&P 500 by a wide margin.
The Valcor Timber Investment is not affected by the US recession to any degree. Please review the website at:

We have also sold approximately $1 million in individual shares. This is great news as it means we will be at full production in a few weeks. Therefore, we are looking at your first dividend payment to be early next year. It is projected that the first dividend payment will cover your initial investment, with future dividends rising with each quarter.
