Uranium Exposure: With or Without ETFs? [view article]
I have done well with PKN, and find them to be well allocated. The International Energy Agency reports that numerous Governments Worldwide are beginning construction on and planning to build Nuclear Plants. The demand curve was already increasing significantly before the recent surge in OIL PRICES, but has recently increased even more as a result of the OIL PRICE SHOCK and the almost incalculatable effects it has had on so many economies.I am extremely bullish on Commodities, especially Precious Metals, which I am absolutely sure will continue to increase in prices regardless of the Wall Street "experts" (that would prefer to keep selling stocks to keep the stock market bull well fed) continually talking about the surging prices of commodities being some kind of a "bubble". It's simply a supply/demand price surge that will continue.
ETF's have made it possible for average joe to benefit from the continually rising prices of valuable commodities, especially Gold (GLD) without having to take delivery and safely store any of it. Perhaps many terrorists would like to take delivery of URANIUM for obvious reasons, but no individual investors would want to take delivery of this "HOT" and heavy commodity.
URANIUM & NUCLEAR ENERGY SECTOR ETF's make it possible for any investor to easily profit from the increasing demand for this hot commodity and surging nuclear energy sector, without getting radiated to death in the process. Owning stock in well picked uranium exploration and mining stocks are also a great way to experience escalating profits in a very short timeframe, as the nuclear plants that are being built now will be worthless if they can not find the scarce URANIUM to fuel them and put them online.
To Sum it up... ETF's like NCL & PKN are HOT INVESTMENTS!!! The whole world will soon discover the problems about the URANIUM SHORTAGE, and as individual investors find out they can profit from the emminent rise in the price of URANIUM and associated service companies...
NUCLEAR ETF'S WILL GATHER CRITICAL MASS and PROFIT$ EXTEMELY QUICKLY FOR SAAVY INVESTORS WITH VISION NOW!!! Reply
Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Uranium is one of the most common elements on earth, so the mineable reserves only on the spot price of uranium e.g. price goes up and the uranium mining projects will start popping up everywhere where they get the permit to mine.Production costs vary from mine to mine but when I used to work for McArthur River Mine the production costs were around $7/lb but I estimate that the costs have doubled since then.

Hi, adding my favorites to the list. Other great U stock funds:Toronto:
- GUR (Global Uranium) - the best mix of good U mining stocks, IMO
- UF.UN (Uranium Focused Energy) - a mix of miners and plant builders such as Areva, GE
London: (both focus on miners)
- Yellowcake PLC (YEL: PLUS)
- Geiger Counter (GCL: LSE)

TAI: There's enough in terms of common spikes, I agree, but in general, Cameco looks like a significant up move to April 2007 and then downwards thereafter. U looks more like a sideways chart bounded by 35-45 with a few months above 45. I'm not the diehard technician but from looking at these, I think there's a case for holding both the commodity and the producers ... or perhaps a bit of timing between the two.

I like PDN, they are progressing quite well and it may become a take over target.. ReplyIt

NLR is much more directly linked to Nuclear than PKN based on their top-10 holdings.Kang, why did you say "Very different performance patterns between the commodity and one of its major producers." Looks like CCJ and U are highly & positively correlated. Reply

I STILL BELIEVE THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY IS STILL NOT A VIABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR ANY COUNTRY.THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES THAT ARE MUCH SAFER AND LESS POLLUTING THAN NUCLEAR WASTE, TO WIT SOLAR, GEOTHERMAL, HYDRO, CLT, NANO MIXED WITHANY OF THE ALTERNATIVES.

I really like PKN. It is another NLR-like ETF but better-allocated. Replyspenser

Seven Uranium Stocks to Fuel Your Portfolio [view article]
Look at the deposit grades (%U3O8). Cameco has the grade to support their costs. At current market prices, who else does? These companies need to be disclosing what their production costs are before I would invest a single dime. ReplyNuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Uranium mills are not very useful if you have no feed for them. Take a look at the mine's reserve grades (%U3O8), mining costs ($/ton & $/lb) and distance to the nearest processing facility. Only the higher grade deposits (>1% U3O8) are viable unless the current spot price doubles. The lower grade deposits will have to wait until these richer deposits play out. Currently, most uranium producers do not want to disclose their costs, and for good reason! Do you homework before investing. ReplyDenison Mines: A Play on Escalating Uranium Demand [view article]
Denison reserves are relatively low grade. What are their production costs? These deposits cannot compete financially with the bigger player's higher grade deposits and will only be exploitable when the spot price rises above $100. As an analyst, you are not asking the right questions! ReplyNuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
for you & your children & grandchildren & into the future would you rather spend more for energy & be relatively safe or less & take a chance on a major catastrophy? dont forget greed & the bottomline plus coverup are part of our system.why do we need a law to protect whistleblowers? ReplyDenison Mines: A Play on Escalating Uranium Demand [view article]
Fireball,I think you are on the money with Silex. It is lightly traded on the ASX (SLX) and explodes anytime it trades with volume only to retreat again in the days following. I have held since 2000 and closely follow this one. GE purchased the rights to the technology and are bankrolling the startup so there is little cost to Silex only royalties to come! Reply

Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Firs of all, I'm not saying I'm anit-nuke, but as someone who had a friend who was an inspector at at a nuclear power plant, let's just say things go bad a lot more often then is made public. All the motivation is to hide minor accidents, near catastrophes, etc.. The main problem, according to my friend, was using substandard replacement parts due to greed (kickbacks, etc.), and this is why problems often occurred, and where I fear might continue to occur in the future (even the best designed plants won't function right if someone decides to save a few bucks and use a few substandard parts).For the time being, plants in the U.S. are currently storing their spent rods in cooling pools within the nuclear facilities. These pools were never designed to store so many rods, meaning the pools need to be actively cooled with fervor in order to prevent a meltdown. This is just the cooling pools, not the reactor themselves! Something goes wrong just with the active cooling, and we have a problem (even after the plants no longer produce electricity). Can anyone really say if storing the radioactive waste in mines is going to harm all living things in the future? Are the risks worth taking? I just want people to be aware that nuclear has more risks than people seem to be aware of. Perhaps it is still the right way to go, but no one can make a good decision without knowing as much info as possible. Reply
