My suggestions to VALH management (Are you people reading the threads?):
First stop in doing due diligence is visiting the Website, and yours makes the company look unprofessional and conveys the wrong first impression.
Highlight the areas with the greatest revenues and earnings. Good job in posting links to the latest press releases very prominently on the home page. However, why not excerpt a key sentence or two (mention revenues and earnings) so you don't have to follow the link to get the jist of it? It's key to keep making the primary focus of the site the lumber enterprise, and then (oh, by the way) the holding company also has the other following divisions...
Right now, you go to the home page, one of the first things you see is VALH's Viagara substitute, Virilite. This should be at the absolute bottom of the page, and you should have to scroll way down to see it. This product may or may not be legitimate, but at any rate it casts doubt on the whole company. A claim is made that its efficacy has been proved in scientific studies, but there is no link to the research that backs up this claim, creating the impression that it is a scam. It frankly scared me off a little, but due to the earnings/prospects of the lumber division, I was willing to overlook it.
Looking for ways for VALH to increase its appeal to a wider group of investors, and this struck me as an easy solution requiring little time or investment that could pay off for all of us.
Just my thoughts,
