Curious what people think is a fair price to pay for Nymex Uranium Futures Feb 2023?
They trade with no volume at the moment but I own a bunch. I’ve been debating trying to see if I can create more and build out some contracts so there is actual trading of uranium futures
FYI. I’ve offering some out at $55/lb at times lately and never get hit. Seems cheap to me given spot is at $47-48 but perhaps the lack of liquidity is a turn off?
I’d like to work on creating more contracts and improving liquidity and @quakes99 has suggested to me that doing so would be good for the market. Trouble is that there are basically no bidders and I don’t want to sell what I have unless I can replace them.
I believe there are some entities out there willing to carry trade and create uranium futures but I need to bid out loud for 400 contacts to make that happen and because I have so many zero margin stocks and already have around 400k lbs of uranium I’m a bit tapped
I suppose with sput trading near nav most are content to buy it and leverage as desired with their brokerage accounts. That said. I used margin to buy my uranium futures. You just need initial margin room and theres no actual margin cost
Kinda crazy but not factoring the ‘risk’ of buying futures the return so far is the best trade I’ve ever done. 1100x in 3.5 months. Cause it was just the commission cost. Was 1700x when in 2 months when uranium hit $51 the first go. Knock on wood.. never been down a day

Sold a whack but kept some physical info the 2011 spike
3. This past week I’ve loaded up on more silver than I ever have in my life but a multiple of 10x. Via PSLV
This is what I consider the safest and surest of trades for the next 10 years. I have no idea how much it will go up. It I’m certain that it will handily beat inflation and is a great store of long term wealth. Government/Central bank money creation is completely out of control
It takes a lot of labour and energy to produce silver. Labour costs are also based on food and housing costs which are both tied to energy costs.
This is a clear sign of pure panic on the market that copper is going to not be available. LME inventories could be drained completely. I think we will soon see the same in Molybdenum and Tin. Etc. Key industries are simply unable to get materials for manufacturing
We printed so much money and also have massive supply chain issues. Today I got a notice from a dealer I bought a snowmobile from (ordered 1 year ago)
Good news your snowmobile has arrived. Bad news is it’s missing parts. Gauges and chips apparently
I’m willing to sell some Nymex #uranium futures this morning. Feb 2023 @ $180/lb just in case some utilities want to hedge. :)
It’s crazy that my offer is best offer in a no bid nymex market. Would love to build out these futures contracts so we have some more markers. If people collectively bid 400 contracts or more I expect some carry traders would fill.
400 nymex contracts x 250lb equals 100,000 lb
That’s how I got filled back in the summer but it might take a few days still.
Let’s not forget that public opinion has been shaped against nuclear by a community of dreamers that don’t understand basic math. We now have a global power crisis because of the shortsighted leadership. Mainstream media is gonna do a complete 180 now.
Delays in underground mining as well as some deferred open-pit metal production have caused an increase in estimated incremental funding requirement to $3.6 billion from the $2.4 billion expected in July. mining.com/turquoise-hill…
“Total costs for the move underground is now approaching $8 billion, up from the Rio’s original budget of $5.3 billion set in 2016.”
I promise you many #uranium projects are gonna do this as well but be much more extreme. By the time many of our beloved little uranium companies actually update feasibility studies and update costs 2-3 more times along the road to production we will see capex 2-3x
FYI. I’ve heard from a few people that @RealRickRule said the the easy gains have been had in #uranium and is pushing #gold as the better play.
I’ll let Rick chime in if he wants to discuss things. But I’m pretty sure he told me he was 2-3 years early last uranium cycle and sold mostly out a year before the peak. Probably happy with $65-75/lb
Yes he made a great pass on $pdn but we at Sprott under my recommendation bought in at $0.08 basically at the start of the bull and rode it to $3.50 before selling any and ultimately to $6+ for final shares
