Thought of the day: A reminder for our followers, each new asymmetric theme should be restricted to a 5-7% portfolio weighting with around 5 stocks positions to mitigate stock specific risks in each theme. Incoming themes over the next 6 months: #regionalbanks#REITs etc
- we are approaching entry into the eye of the storm, this will likely need to play out 75% prior to serious capital deployment (6 months +).
- shoes to drop include freezing lending markets, deposits moving to higher yields etc
Let some bottoming clarity take place...as in the short term, what was strong yesterday, may not be tomorrow, the rate of change can be swift until the environment settles.
We continue to look for amazing survivability entry points, more likely available in the later stages of the storm:
<1x trailing PEs
>75% trailing dividend yields
<0.15x book
Secure sustainable funding arrangements
Note 2008-2009 destruction -95% and 2010-2017 recovery +10-15x
We expect similar outcomes from cycle bottoms in 2023/24 with recovery through 2027.

#uranium facts for last week are in ....900klbs traded
Utilities joined in but didn't dominate Vs traders #uranium
Another 2-3mlb pounds to be taken out through the end of May if blue skies are to be enjoyed. But to sustain higher levels, Utilities will need to dominate, near term (<24 months) contracting books need to be nearing capacity to result in continued upward momentum. #uranium
For those pre-production #uranium caps (<US$150m size) raising money to take them towards the Final Investment Decision, this should come as no surprise, one should build into their models dilution as follows:
$55 spot = likely 50-65% dilution if capex is funded at this point
1/3
$65 spot = 45-55%
$75 spot = 40-50%
$85 spot = 35-45%
Hence our view that buying < 0.7x peak CF 3-4 years out undiluted = 0.9-1.2x diluted = 4-5x upside.
Those trading at <0.5x = 6-8x upside.
2/3
Funding a project at $85 spot implying > $50lb cash margins for 3-5mlb capacity = operating CF US$150-250m 3-4 yrs out
A) job losses and no savings to pay the mortgage, with 35% drop in the property value to exit it.
B) those high on margin will get called and massively hit, likely account implosion
C) 75% wealth hits for those not understanding incoming risks
Survival action to be taken now:
- Dial back unnecessary expenditure
- Pay off credit card debt
- Build a savings buffer > 9 months of expenditure
- Close out margin positions
- Sell non essential assets to build liquidity for incoming risk (job loss, refinancing risk etc)
How do avoid being financially stressed? Live within your means, focus on a high savings rate which leads to freedom. Never live paycheck to paycheck with your credit card as a bridge. Build a investment stack of $300k and learn how to compound at 20% plus.
Our cycle bottom approach allows compounding at 20-30%, resulting in the <30yrs retiring at around 50yrs.
Note our 10x10x10=1000x return thesis within 20yrs.
Things you don't need are plentiful until your investment stack has been achieved:
- no $1000 per month car payment, stick with the 15yr old car for another 5 years
- no Starbucks coffee required, make at home and bring with you
- self prepared picnic as opposed to eating out
