Now there is almost no production which naturally affects how we should compare the market caps of different eras. The cash flow from #uranium mining itself is almost null. Also, many equities have retraced 20% or more from the peak market valuation already, which has brought...
...the market valuation closer to the realized spot price.

Market cap of the sector also reacts in a shape of an S-curve rather than linear line, as the economics of the projects get significantly better at a certain price range. The exponential part of the journey is still...
...ahead of us, which seems unbelievable at this point where we can see ten multiples of revaluation in some of the equities already. Which is exactly why #uranium is THE investment opportunity of a life time.
It is reasonable to assume that market values these equities by oscillating between discount and premium to their intrisic value. In a strong bull market, a discount is hard to find as the expectations are very high towards higher prices.
Comparing the NPV and the market cap of a project is very tricky, as if one understands how NPV works, there are serious effects for time and discount rate to NPV. Everyone wants return for the investment aswell, thus target MC < NPV at a given $/lb.
I tend to agree with @BULLReturns that equities have got ahead of the spot price and have now retraced some of the premium. Will it continue? It might or this was it for now. There is no certainty for things that haven't happened yet.
From the peak premium I'd say a 30% pull down could be expected, and if the reverse exaggerates itself, the valuations could push into the discount.

1. We have seen some massive moves in #uranium last few weeks and I'd say that we are in somewhat hype driven environment now. Rising spot is accelerating stocks, with ETF feedback loops and probably mass psychology buying through WSB, reddit aswell.
2. Many might think that is uranium a worthy investment opportunity still, after 100s and 1000s% of gains?

The fundamentals behind uranium price discovery are like no other.A commodity we need, has no substitutes, and even after the spot has risen +50% in matter of weeks...
3. ...it still cannot be mined and produced profitably with current price. The investment case in uranium is truly an unique opportunity.

1/9 It's not time yet for a return, but I had to peek in and congratulate the #uranium community. I have been semiactive on my long perspective trading during the twitter hibernation period. Most likely I will never ever achieve these level of gains again in my portfolio.
2/9 It's good to enjoy, but never let it define your plan. You were smart to invest in #uranium, but there are two hard parts of the journey still ahead.
3/9 First. ONLY profit there is, is a realized profit. For the coming years ahead you should have a plan to sell, and realize the profit you've made on #uranium.

When the YTD consolidation period of #uranium stocks unravels, I'm betting on a high momemtum move. Odds are we're getting a commodity price rerate period, which will cause stocks to start discounting +65$/lbs into the share price. Stocks lead the price, and have risk discount...
...which is why they might seem to have a LOT of upside to fair valuation with commodity price at +65$/lbs. They do, if the risk will be mitigated. My fair guess is the spot will exceed last great bull cycle highs, and duration of the cycle will also exceed the last one.
No one will time the bottom and the top right. Be prepared and have an exit plan on your uranium equities. There is a fair chance that spot will overrun the equities at the end, thus making physical investment vehicles like $U and $YCA good places to cycle profits in.

Let's take a look on $UEX price action history from the last great #uranium bull market.

Note how any discounts(1) to 50 & 200dEMA would have been affordable to buy until the spot started dying. Image
2/7

When a #uranium stock moves, it tends to stay above its means, pushing extension to mean(2) very high, in case of $UEX all the way to 80-120% premium vs 50dEMA. Image
3/7

At the start of the trend the 20 day volume of the stock (3) increased substantially but as the trend matures, the 20d volume stays in the range of 1-1.5M shares, with only one overshoot on the way. Image

As most of people who follow my tweets know, I'm very bullish on #uranium, and I think a LT bull market has begun.

That said, I want to remind that we're still at the very beginning of the journey, and that it is very important to acknowledge that there will be local tops and big retracements ahead of us on this journey. Depending on the co, -20% even -50% retraces will happen for sure.
3/10

The main catalyst on the sector for mining companies is still staying put as the spot/lt contract pricing is neglecting the fundamental supply distruption.

As I took most of my positioning to #uranium bull at March 20 dip, I find myself constantly looking at attractiveness based on performance since that. Even though sector fundamentals have got better, most value on stocks has stayed the same.
2/ 6

If a stock is up 1000% by far, in my eyes it's 1/10th of as attractive as it was back in March. No matter the future potential. If I'd like to open a new pos, either I'd have to lower the pos size or accept the higher risk/reward ratio. This is why I like to avg up.
3/ 6

The profit or loss that can be made, is basically just the difference between price and value. Price action drivers can be either sentimental or fundamental. Basic rule for buying ->
