Jyoti re MERCS. Looks like it could go into a value investors portfolio. Been undervalued for a while. Last year when I looked at it, I couldn't figure out what they were all about. An entrepreneurial?? German or Swiss company?? In some sort of paper business. I thought only Canada or US or Asia had trees for chopping up -g-. Looked like they cobbled together a company. And I've since noticed MERCS appear on a couple of value screens. Now it's even still more undervalued apparently. (Well okay... undervalued is somebody's opinion, but certainly it's at lower price.) Price is down maybe because of their upcoming restructuring efforts, and they have the dreaded word - Asia - in their quarterly report. (Seems like all the paper companies are down - I occasionally follow (don't own) WY. And maybe none of 'em are down far enough yet in this cycle.) On the other hand, maybe all the bad news re. MERCS is already reflected in MERCS' price. What more do you know about this Mercer International- or its paper business? (I came across MERCS when I was trying to research a totally different Mercer International - a benefits/human resource company, which turned out to be a subsidiary of another company.) Paul Senior
