Quoted: I've been in this sector since 2020 and if I was just sitting on my original positions, I'd still be way up overall. However, I have been buying all along during dips and a couple fomo buys as well and this pull back has certainly hurt. Having said that, I would love to be finding out about this whole uranium thesis today. Many of the top uranium names are down near 50% off their 52 week highs. It's a great entry point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl9yX_yxx-I View Quote Bought more ccj today. If i had more cash it would go all in... |

I bought again today. PALAF and CURUF. I just opened a Schwab account so I can buy more SRUUF.

Click the link to read the whole thread. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1500604313361600513.html Bottom line… less spot #uranium available for sput or fuel buyers that are desperate for spot supplies because they have uncontracted needs. Oh..and there’s also miners that have over contracted that also MUST buy spot material to fulfill contact obligations. I continue to believe that we are about to see a steep spike in the #uranium price. Steeper and also greater in magnitude than the last bull market (when I correctly predicted it would spike to $140/lb). Look back at the old charts of the 2007 run up…. View Quote |

Nice day. See some small news, Japanese plant restart, but nothing really to explain 18%+ on UEC, whole sector up 7-20%.

I know nothing about it. I've been in and out of different mining stocks a few times but never really made any money. It's interesting and I hope you guys do well.

This news went out and uranium stocks lit up!!
These were all flat to down a little this morning. Sprott is sitting on about $100M to purchase U308, if they start buying now, look out above!

I invested in Uranium and Luna.
Second one looks dead now. Planning to purchase here a crypto license and become a trader myself in the future. This way i not gonna depend on ups and downs of particular currency but get paid from every single operation. Sounds not too complicated and absolutely makes sense. |

This is great news. It allows EU nuclear to access $350B dollars of funding for green energy and it also frees up many billions of investment dollars that are hamstrung by ESG rules to invest in nuclear.
Nuke stocks are on sale right now if you aren't in already. A lot are at or near to 50% off their recent highs. The general market has dragged all equities down with but the case for nuclear has never been better.
Today's decision by the European Parliament to include nuclear energy in the EU taxonomy will help the fight against climate change and accelerate progress towards a sustainable low-carbon energy system by stimulating investment in new nuclear projects, not just in Europe, but worldwide.Reacting to the vote, Sama Bilbao y León, Director General, World Nuclear Association said,"The European Parliament's positive vote sends a clear endorsement of nuclear energy to the financial community. It has listened to the science and recognized that sustainable investment in nuclear energy will help the EU reach net-zero by 2050. Now governments, investors, and industry must act urgently and accelerate the deployment of new nuclear capacity to achieve this goal.”Nuclear is the largest single source of low-carbon electricity in the EU, and this decision with help ensure that nuclear will play a key part in Europe’s clean energy future. Nuclear energy helps secure energy supplies by reducing demand for imported fossil fuels and will be the foundation of a clean and reliable net-zero electricity mix.

It’s a renaissance. It’s the dawning of a new age. It’s the stuff inside the briefcase in “Pulp Fiction.” However you phrase it, uranium is, again, a highly sought-after commodity. Political power brokers all over the world, feeling the heat at home as war in Eastern Europe continues to constrain global fossil fuel supplies, are recognizing nuclear’s ability to satisfy baseload energy demand on a relatively clean basis. Also, uranium supply and production is limited right now. These are the makings of a generational wealth-creation opportunity, as Ocean Wall CEO Nick Lawson explains to Real Vision’s Maggie Lake. Nick and Maggie talk about nuclear power’s history, including the high-profile accidents. But Vladimir Putin’s weaponization of energy commodities threatens even wider, longer-lasting damage. It’s going to take discipline and patience. But the uranium trade has a new glow, and Nick has the scoop on how to build a position.

The fundamentals of this trade have not changed. |

Great week for U stocks.

I sure hope we can hang on to last weeks gains.
It put the portfolio half way back to the highs. I wonder what India plans to do about the processing?

View Quote They either build their own processing/enrichment facilities or go to Russia for it and $380M won't cover that. That's hardly enough to put one mine into production let alone build anything else downstream in the fuel cycle. The rest of the world is sorely short of processing/enrichment capabilities at the moment and not much in the pipeline ATM. Even if it goes forward, you're looking at years out for first production. Converdyne is looking to increase it's capabilities and Silex may have their laser enrichment up and running in a few years but nothing near term.

Welp, the monstrous "Inflation Reduction Act" (lol) has passed the Senate. Bend over and prepare for your new taxes and audits.
But wait! There's more!!! All clouds have a silver lining and if you're a uranium investor this cloud has a uranium lining. There is is plenty to be happy about related to the uranium sector due to all the ESG, Climate Change and Green New Deal bullshit that's in it. Truth is, and even the water melons are starting to come around to it, is that none of their net zero carbon goals can be met without nuclear power. Nestled inside the bill are subsidies/tax credits for existing and future nuclear power generation and enrichment. While I believe this bill is an abomination I am a realist and these provisions are good for the uranium sector. The thesis just keeps getting better and better.

Quoted: What is the preferred uranium stock? Is it one of the ETFs, are there companies better poised to meet immediate market demands of all the Small Modular reactors? View Quote The big dog is Cameco, CCJ. Of all the U stocks they are probably closest to starting their mines back up producing. The ETFs are URA, URNM, and for physical exposure the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, SRUUF. Not all exchanges allow purchase of SRUUF because it’s Canadian or something like that. URNM is a pure uranium play while URA also holds some “uranium related” stocks. First mover in the SMR space would be NuScale Power, ticker SMR. SMR just went public last May I think and is already up about 50%. There are SMR warrants trading as well. $11.50 warrants are trading at about 3.50. On TD the warrants are listed as SMR+ but on TradingView they show as SMRW. Easiest play is just buy the ETFs. |

After this recent runup, and the passing of some funding for the industry, I set tight stops under all of my U stocks.
I've been tripped out on LEU, UEC, UUUU, and DNN. Still holding CCJ and SRUUF but they're near their stops too. I'm still on board with the thesis but U has been very much acting with risk-on investments. Headwinds for those include the upcoming inflation data and Septembers Fed decision on rates. For U specifically, I don't know what good news might drive it higher but Russia's weekend shelling around the Zaphorizhia plant makes me nervous. An accident there could set the industry back Fukushima style for longer than I can wait. I'll be looking to get back in at lower prices, and I'm disappointed that the sector hasn't moved higher under current conditions. I just can't see what will move it higher in the short term that recent news hasn't done. |

Quoted: I’m not a trader and this is certainly too volatile for me to even think about trading in and out. View Quote I don't consider myself a trader. I watch a few niche markets closely, and rotate funds based on what I perceive to be opportunities. I've been rotating into gold stocks the past week. Money supply has exploded, and share prices are currently at pre fed printing lows right now. Mining shares relative to spot price are also the best they've been since the last peak in March, when I got stopped out of that market. Trailing stops for volatile stocks aren't really "trading". These things can crash hard and stay there for a long time. You should have a limit to the loss you're willing to accept in these. |

I have to ask why not buy centrus energy. All of this uranium that will be mined has to be purified to HALEU for the triso fuel models. Centrus is the only American technology capable of meeting these demands. Further more the nuclear producers don’t want to us “tainted” uranium from other sources because they possess impurities that make management of spent fuel that much more complicated. Centrus again offers the only capability to produce the required feed stock.
Just a question @captinpooby Edit - looks like LEU has popped in the past 30 days…. |

View Quote LEU has been the star performer of those I track, post 4/8/22 uranium spot peak price. But it isn't as dependent on or correlated to spot for its value as the miners are. Miners typically not only follow spot, they amplify it. Up moves are outsized, as well as down moves. That isn't happening with Uranium miners really, and one of the reasons I think that spot either has to jump, or miners will fall. Here is an overlay of SPUT (SRUUF for USA) with the miners since the April peak. Peak is the baseline where all are equal. Do this same comparison using a peak or trough as base line for ANY other mined commodity, and you will see the outsize moves of the miners vs the commodity. Attached File It doesn't inspire confidence for me in the current price of miners. Again, LEU is only there to show how much better it has done, but it's relationship to SPUT has much less meaning than miners. Increasing demand for conversion (see the whole underfeeding vs. overfeeding issue too) will drive LEU much more than spot. In fact, LEU can be more profitable when raw material costs falls. |

Here's the same chart for gold (XAUUSD) vs miners since the early March peak of gold.
Miners (and royalty) dropped much more percentage wise. This is normal. Attached File |

Full disclosure, I'm not a professional. I don't regularly beat the S&P500. In fact, I am woefully behind it over 40 years of investing.
Ergo, I could be and likely am, wrong. |
