I just read an aritcle that the cost of uranium is going to skyrocket as the supply dwindles. this is supposedly because the nuclear plant must use it.

We have enough natural gas and coal for 300 years. Why are we worrying and what should we invest in?

CCJ is the first that comes to mind. Not that I recommend for or against any positions there.

Resident Uranium bull here.

I recently got out of Uranium, but am looking to jump back in once I sight the bottom.

Sector is depressed becoz of Japan and will be for another year or so.

In ten years though, they are hundred baggers, possibly. I liquidated coz I needed the money to make money elsewhere. But I will jump back in soon. Am waiting to get to the bottom.

I have also been curious about uranium. Could it be the next boom? I think it's as likely as anything else. I'm not going to try to pick any bottom though. Looking to move away from silver and into uranium slowly.

One may also want to research the number of nuclear reactors being constructed. If I'm not mistaken, no new plants have been built in the U.S. in the last thirty years or so, but I could be wrong. Of course, one must consider global demand and how many are being constructed abroad.

The uranium market is dependent on two countries which are ramping up reactors scheduled to go into production by 2020 - China and India.

Oz and France are already selling Uranium to India. I'm trying to find who the dealer will be, probably BHP Billiton.

Was checking into short interest on some of the U tickers.

CCJ, USEC and UEC have an unbelievable amount of short interest. That should tell you this sector will be depressed for another year at least, before wildly swinging back in the money.

Investors need more time to forget Japan. But any time, aftermath radiation news hits the newswire, the sector will be screwed all over again. Cyclical trend.
