With ab and his predecessors missing, you are filling the bill, David, as the informed and confident voice of Tropical American Tree Farms. Perhaps you can explain why the company is not communicating with and informing its individual investors about the state of their trees and the maintenance schedule for them.
You say "As we all know, the earliest thinned trees have little value, so by not having to buy any of those pre-thinned trees from TATF makes their value compared to buying justcfrall's pre-thinned trees about twice as high per tree. In other words, taking the $6080.90 TATF price divided by two brings the TATF pricing to an approximate comparative price of $3040.45 per 100 pre-thinned 10 year teak trees. That's about three times what justcfall is selling his trees to me for." This assumes bulk purchasing, which was not true for the great majority of TATF tree buyers, and, even then it admits that the company's estimate of today's value of those ten year trees is almost the same as what they were originally sold for as seedlings.
Why weren't your seller's trees thinned, as advertised? Also, you twisted my words by leaving out the beginning of my statement. The one-third I cited was what Just is selling his trees for ($1000 per 100 trees, my earlier post had a typo which left out one of the 0's), compared to his stated original purchase at the time he bought them (between $2500 and $3000). What can't be disputed is that, according to the market price, established here on this board by this transaction, the TATF trees are now worth about a third of what they were ten years ago.
