Another chance for a buy in to FE Sept 9-2008 ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
I love when all of the tree huggers knock Nuclear energy, but they have no answers for anything. Do not drill! Do not use Nuclear. Do not have emmissions.. Ok. "Tree Hugger" how do we create the energy we need to support demand? Wind and Solar.... lol OMG if these morons knew how little of energy these two technologies produce they would not crawl out of their holes. You would need about 10,000 wind mills to produce as much energy as "one" Nuclear plant. And lets depend on mother nature for our energy. What happens if our enemy sends a missle that ignites a smog cloud that blocks the sun for a period of time? How do we get energy? Or what happens if it is not windy? OMG take your heads out of the tree and wake up to reality... With todays technology Nuclear is safe, and it does not release CO2 into the atmosphere. Even the tree huggers can like this technology if they actually did some research into how they actually store the used uranium. Accidents will happen, but that is in any industry. Chenobyl was 20 years ago and they did the dumbest thing possible by shutting it down, which you could never do today, and 3 Mile Island, no one even got hurt, everyone just freaked out because of a leak, and that could never happen today. We have been running Nuclear plants for over 20 years, no problems, France gets 80% of their electricity from Nuclear and have had no major issues. There are so many safety precautions now days, that it is safer than any other "real" energy technology. ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
Sorry, if you expect a president to impact the education system you are dreaming.Schools, like computers, live by the rule GIGO

And how long does it take to get all of these new reactors on line? Until then......much better plays out there then uranium. ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
Uranium is almost meaningless to the bottom lines of GE, BHP, and RIP.Reply

I think the uranium situation is fundamentally changing because of the Russian situation and don't expect the shortfall to be covered by decommisioned nucs going forward. Also, here in Colorado many of these small speculative Uranium mining plays have hit a brick wall with inadequate capitalization and the tightening of lending standrards, the emphasis has moved from making deal to doing workouts with buyers who can't pay; even if all these are permitted and get financing to produce, there is a shartage of milling availabe (which makes DNN a very interesting play).

Nuclear power - the "safest, cheapest, cleanest" source of electricity?How stupid do you think that your readers are?
Anyone who reads the news will doubt the "safe" bit, and doubt the "clean" bit, and laugh out loud at the "cheap" bit.
But then. I forgot. The taxpayer pays for Yucca Mountain, for Sellafield, for all of AREVA's mess. And there are those lovely bits of legislation like the USA"s Price Anderson Act..
Still the public is waking up. I guess the goal is to sell off the uranium quickfast, - and anyway, , even the Arabs are keen to have nuclear weapons now - so there'll still be some market, even after the inevitable "peaceful"nu... power market collapse..

JOYG AND BUCY WILL RISE before the fact and the supply; and again after the fact and demand. CANADA AND RUSSIA AMERICA'S DOPEY LITTLE BROTHERS SHOULD SHINE, BUT WHEN//?? ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
the uranium play is dead.....the build up happened in 2006 with tons of average person money investing in all these small to mod-teir companies.then there was the push in 2007 to keep rising the price per lb. of uranium, but i was watching something very pertucial happening at the same time.just like when oil goes up,most the time the oil stocks go up.it was different with the uranium stocks.as the price continued to rocket to 138 per lb., the uranium stocks were already going down in early 2007: the big players who were still pumping up the sector were pulling their money out while they were telling everyone else to "BUY".so we have the peaks in uranium stoks happening back in April 1st 2007 (while the 1st qtr. that year was up & down with the stocks doing nothing for 3 months).Now what I really can't figure out is when oil stocks & other energy related stocks rocketed in 2007 as oil rose,uranium sank with the uranium stocks.YET NOW WE FINALLY HAVE THE URANIUM PRICE PER LB. FINALLY GOING UP SINCE JUNE (AFTER 1 YEAR OF DECLINING PRICE), YET THE URANIUM STOCKS ARE "NOW" FOLLOWING THE ENERGY STOCKS DOWNWARD.WITH THE PRICE PER LB. OF URANIUM FINALLY GOING UP, SHOULDN'T THE URANIUM STOCKS BE DISCONNECTING FROM THE OTHER ENERGY STOCKS WHICH HAD A GREAT RIDE IN 2007 & MOST OF 2008,WHILE THE URANIUM STOCKS SANK LOSING MOST OF THEIR VALUE ?????? THIS SECTOR REMINDS ME OF THE ETHANOL PLAY OF 2006.....BIG HYPE; THEN TAKE EVERYBODIES MONEY (LIKE ALWAYS).................. ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
We keep hearing about more plants and the need for more supply. Supply seems to find its way into the market and very few new plants will be built to move stock prices. This is a very risky and long term investment. ReplyFour Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
Too bad Areva does not have an ADR. And it is disturbing that nuke technology is led by China and France, when will a US president fix the failing educational system? China has solved teh meltdown problem, now we just have to worry about weapons proliferation. Maybe Thorium really is the long term answer to that? Replygordon

All that buildup for... Cameco and BHP?This is the same uranium story that is always trotted out. The least this author could do would be to recommend Uranium One (UUU.TO) and Denison Mines (DNN), two pure plays that have taken it on the chin lately. Uranium doesn't even more the needle for BHP and Rio Tinto.
If India is your best example of uranium shortages, this is truly a weak thesis. India has a whopping four (4!) nuclear reactors - and these are not even full gigawatt reactors like we operate in the US.
The uranium miners all expect to be ramping UP production - significantly - over the next few years.
I will agree with this author on one point - there could be a shortage if the Russians cut off exports of HEU. Given the recent conflict, this is not out of the question. Although Europe and Obama seem inclined to appease and ignore Russian aggression - probably in part because they know Putin has them by the marbles. So I agree with the long term (and we mean looooong term) argument for nuclear.
This is not a near term (1-3 years) argument for uranium stocks, however. Reply

If you want a "value" play, look at Uranium1. UUU.TO. Bad luck (power outtages in SA, acid issues in Kazakh) and previously bad management (former CEO was a bit too medai savvy) have sent the stock into a very oversold state. They are on track, however, to move up the ranks of U producers in the next few years. SXRZF.PK on pink sheets. Reply
