Plum Creek Timber (PCL)

[scstocks]

got back into pcl in the 30's and trying to figure out how long to hold it this time around. sold in low 50's last time around if fuzzy memory serves, but I love this stock, and its div., so it is harder than most for me to sell.....

way off topic.....just got my house tax bill here in South Carolina. the way they do homeowners tax here in our county is to assume that you are an "away" owner and they bill you about triple what of the "live in" rate is. many years ago I did not know this and paid the higher tax once or twice, again if fuzzy memory serves as this was many years ago. then one day a neighbor started talking about his taxes and I realized that his were about 1/3 of mine and we had the same floor plan in the same development. long story short, the state does not tell you to come down with a utility bill and prove you are actually residing in the home, they assume, and bill you, like you do not, but once done once, I have never had to repeat it, even moving within the county. now the tax bill arrives with the lower figure, and a notation of what it would have been for an "away" owner.....real low taxes here, but they do charge "personal property taxes" on cars, boats, that kind of thing to make up some of the difference. I think my home taxes are about 1/6 of a new york state home, (not nyc,) and the cars add a few hundred each to that..........

thanks for letting me rant but I still kick myself at not catching the "tax issue" all those years ago, ha.

hope you are doing well.
