Best Swing Trade Commodity Stock – Rayonier (RYN)

Strategy: Swing trading to cash in on current trends

Though classified by some as a real estate investment trust because of its mammoth land holdings, Rayonier (RYN) specializes in growing and managing timber across its 2.6 million acres in the United States and New Zealand.  Timber is a strange and unique commodity. Like oil and gas, extraction can be put off until prices rise. But unlike those two, the inventory actually grows in the meantime — becoming more valuable as trees thicken.

So a company has to be able to capitalize on this optionality by having a multitude of ways of selling it into various channels at different points in the economic cycle.  Analysts report that Rayonier’s timber properties — mostly in Florida, Georgia and Washington — have for this and other reasons been much more productive and efficient than those of competitors.
