El Dali Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yes. A HUGE drop in UUU.All I can say is: I'm glad I own calls, rather than the stock itself. I still like the look of Uranium, but an individual co. sometimes gets hammered for reasons like this That is a big hit. What actually happened here? Don't see this a buying opp right now then Dr. Bubb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel8r Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Below is from Peter Schiff/Euro Pacific newsletter - The Global Investor 13/3/08. It appears he is now recommending Uranium One (UUU.TO) to his clients. Canadian Mining Group Uranium produced electricity has been a profitable venture for decades, but has been politically out of favor. Today there are 439 producing reactors in the world with plans for 350 more. The demand for more electricity has been rising and the demand for uranium will be rising right along with it. Enough people move from rural to urban China that they build a city the size of Phoenix (over 1million) every month. The demand on electricity this signifies is staggering. Market demands will push aside politically-correct ideas and will take electricity from what ever source it can. Our first company selection comes from the Uranium industry. The company is a large mining group, based in Canada, with world-wide operations. Two of their properties have caused investors pain. Their stock price is off about 70% from its April 2007 highs. One of the reasons for this pain has been the potential loss of company-specific uranium supply. One site of potential loss is in South Africa. In South Africa, the government mismanaged the electrical infrastructure to the point where electricity has been rationed to miners. This in turn has caused supply to drop and prices to rise. The company reported at an investment conference on Monday, February 25th that they have installed diesel generators to supply their mines with all the electricity they need. Problem solved. The second potential loss dealt with acquiring a raw material necessary to process their uranium in a 3rd world location. At the same conference they announced a supply agreement with a nearby country and that they had entered into an agreement with the host country to process the needed material by 2010. Problem solved here also. Another source of pain has been the falling price of spot uranium. It is off almost 50% from its June 2007 highs. The long-term price of uranium, the price at which most contracts are written, has not dropped, but has been relatively unchanged for the last year. The spot price is heavily reported in the news and influences investor sentiment. The seldom-reported long term price is where the miners make their money and has not dropped in years. Production, not Price, is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears he is now recommending Uranium One (UUU.TO) to his clients. This is interesting. UUU has been on my watchlist . I'm a complete novice here so let me throw this out...... and see what people think. It is definately trending , but I think the Directional Movement Index is giving a sell signal. I'd welcome someone to challenge me on this. At the start of July 2007[$31.50], these indices crossed over [ from buy to sell] and it's been falling since. Until such time as the DMI+ rises above DMI- ; my inclination is to sit and wait....... comments welcome - I'd prefer to make my mistakes here with you folks: It's a more cost effective way to learn MunsterK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 THE YAWNING GAP It never dawned on us that the Mass Fear in the stock market could drive uranium stocks this low for the biggest disconnect, the widest "Disparity," we have ever witnessed. The current yawning difference between commodities and their stocks, especially uranium, is unprecedented, a brandnew trick by the market we have never before seen. Nonetheless, the lower uranium stocks go, and with so much cash floating around the world, when the inevitable upturn occurs it could be explosively higher. Especially since the Fed has slashed interest rates, run the printingpress money machines out of control and, at some point, the Mass Psychology should snap to the upside. . . . Looking back, we are dismayed that we are left with bullish long-term charts for gold and uranium, even while gold and uranium stocks are in Downtrends, and we must therefore assume that there will be lower stock prices ahead until those Downtrendlines are actually penetrated. The big question remains, how low can uraniums go? It is not realistic to expect them to go to zero, which must mean that they are nearing a Bottom Formation and another great buying opportunity. -Jim Dines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Back to the Future... Barbera is now a U Bull Revisiting Some Radioactive Ideas What's next for U308? by Frank Barbera It was late August of last year when I sat down to update readers on the outlook for Uranium stocks. At the time, the sector had been going through its first major correction following several years of unbridled advance. Several months earlier in my newsletter update on June 21st, 2007 we became concerned that the Uranium sector was headed for a serious decline. In that update, we stated... As we can seen in the chart above, Wave C down was almost exactly the SAME PERCENTAGE decline as Wave A with Wave A totaling (4/9/07 peak at 1389.58 less the A Wave low on 8/16/07 at 684.74 = 50.72%) with Wave C totaling (1116.04 Wave B peak on 11/2/07 less 556.41 on March 31st = 50.14%). What’s more, the declining waves were also very similar in terms of overall elapsed time with Wave A taking up 90 trading days on the downside, and Wave C unfolding over 101 trading days into the March low. Within the overall A-B-C structure, Wave B retraced exactly .66% of the prior A Wave decline. If we plot the Primary Wave II correction on the same longer range graph, we find that prices retraced about 1/3 of the prior entire bull market run (does that sound strange to anyone?). If so, it should not as this is simply what bull markets periodically do, and constitutes nothing but a ‘normal’ correction even though the absolute price decline from high to low so far has been (4/09/07 1389.58 less 556.41 3/31/08) a stunning 60%. /see: http://www.financialsense.com/Market/wrapup.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jnrs are being hammered again today, and the producers/adv explorers getting it too. A lot of jan/feb 08 supports being taken out as well. The bloodbath in prec metals jnrs pales in comparison, really does. I bailed (a bit) earlier this year, but this still hurts. Im gonna pull the trigger here and buy some, I like the contrarian angle, but this beating is unlike anything Ive seen. Any wiser heads have a view???

allyjcambo Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Any good ETF's in the Uranium space or are individual stocks the way forward? Don't think there's an ETF as such, although if you're after exposure to the spot price you can buy Uranium Participation Corporation - it buys uranium directly and stores it. If you want exposure to a spread of U stocks, Geiger Counter Ltd (GCL) is worth a look. Down from its highs last year but it's started to creep north again.

jerpy Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Following on the near bombed out theme and reasons for optimism, article published in Mineweb. "It may be difficult to believe, but there are a number of emerging uranium producers with stories that are likely to bring rewards to investors. Until then, the good news for investors is that the Bank Credit Analyst recently asked whether (general) commodity mania had entered the dangerous terminal phase, and, pointing to five of its favorite signposts, found that none were yet worrisome. It added, however, that "the ingredients are in place for a full fledged commodity mania throughout the remainder of this decade". http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/minewe...8&sn=Detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazza Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I think I read somewhere on this website that valuing Uranium juniors is a little bit more tricky than gold miners. Though am looking to dabble in the sector through a fund and some shares. So does anyone have any pointers for valuation metrics/directions to a suitable website/advive?
