Zooming out to bigger picture for #uranium follows.

Ok, so we got a 30% correction at hand in $URNM, 28% $URA. Many of the underlying equities are starting to see 40-50%+ corrections.

Few basic causes ->
2/

#SPUT has been unable to buy enough physical from spot market to lift price, not because of Sprott, but because us market participants who control the share price through supply and demand, havent agreed on pushing and keeping the price in high enough premium.

Broad market was looking very thin on top. Breadth was and still is thin and almost nonexistent. Only few of the leaders are keeping indices afloat.
4/

When market momentum turns, it means that the market flywheels that fed the strength in rally, start feeding the downhill. Remember, in volatile tiny sector like uranium, these flywheels turn faster than in broad market, which I think havent yet turned.
5/

I'm staying in my "path of least resistance", that we will test recent lows, give or take, and after a "what now?" period, broad market will start a rally to new spectacular ATHs.
6/

Technically there was, at recent highs in uranium equities, a significant statistical probability that a mean reversion was imminent. Prices were stretched far above the mean prices, anticipating higher commodity pricing.
7/

A range of stock prices are looking a lot more attractive now at 40%-50% discount to recent highs. That means the expectation of return has doubled since there, and risk has been severely decreased. R/R is turning from symmetric to asymmetric. Numerator & denominator.
8/

As anyone can understand, a blip of -10% doesnt change risk/reward a bit. If one wants to thrive in value investing, one needs to understand that it will be realized by buying reward asymmetry.
9/

Write down what you feel at given times of volatility and come back to your notes every now and then. Then plot them over a urnm price chart. Where did you feel greedy, when fearful or angry. It can be game changer.
10/

When you take a random "trade", it basically has a 50/50 chance of going up or down. Still, our emotional behaviour, which is a evolutionary part of us, ditches those chances. 90% of traders fail, they say. Investing is trading, with longer time horizon and different setup.

When the last great #uranium bull cycle ignited back in 2003-2004, broad market was starting to recover from the dotcom bubble.

Today we are in quite a different market environment where broad market is relatively a lot more expensive than it was back then.

On $PDN for example, a 10% discount to 50 dEMA was a gift to add to. Many others gave 20-40% discounts to 50dEMA.

It's funny when I have called some cos to reflect a ~65 pricing for example in the recent top, the counter argument has been many times that they are trading at a huge discount to the project NAV or NPV. How many of these ppl have actually done dcf analysis by themselves?

Depending on when these studies have been released and what parameters they have used, I think Kevin knows his stuff. Typically 1.5x to 2.5x is a reasonable factor to capex.
3/

Opex is affected by currency exchange rates, energy prices, labour availability and price among other things. Are these at par on how you see world going from here? Typically use growth rate for costs.

Some thoughts of my investment plan in #uranium.

My plan calls for some intra-sector rotation once the cycle starts to heat up.

There are some plays that will outrun others, for various reasons, some being the narrative, history & expectation probability.
2/

There are many equities that fit at least two of these categories, but at least $PDN is one that fits all of these three.

What do you think could be one?
3/

I've already started the rotation from this cooling period, where many have corrected 30-50% from the recent peak. I'm not selling any here, but rather use some margin and/or rotation from other assets to buy.

I will finance this when I see over extension the next time.

At the end, the only commodity we REALLY need is food. What value does gold have, if both ends of the value chain are hungry? One needs to remember that there is someone out there, who will choose a piece of bread over a piece of gold.
Supply chain of food relies heavily on energy. Rising energy price puts high pressure on primary producers of which many are already producing on thin margins. The rising price of food does not increase their profits, at least not at once, because many have long term contracts...
...that define the price levels. There are also many middleman between the producer and end user, who willingly take their part.
