The crew is back together for a jam-packed episode! Matt returns from his travels, and we hit the mailbag to tackle listener questions before diving into regional updates: Matt covers U.S. Spec and Texas, Charles breaks down SYP, and Gregg takes us through the Great Lakes and Boston.
We recap key takeaways from Russ Taylor’s insights last week, then dig into the latest in housing—both new and existing, and what it all means for lumber demand. The team lays out short-term forecasts for supply, demand, and pricing over the next 30–60 days.
Don’t miss the debut of our Lumber Pick Challenge—each of us picks one undervalued and one overvalued item, with prices logged today and results reviewed on the August 4 episode. Plus, we play the Short-Term Market Forecast Game, giving our two-week price predictions on key indices like CME, WSPF, Hem-Fir, and SYP.
We wrap it all up with 30-second rapid-fire advice for newer traders navigating today’s market. Big ideas, a few laughs, and one “Big Beautiful Bill.” Hit play and stay sharp.
