When investing in the mining sector I believe there are 2 main factors one should consider when taking decisions:
1⃣ The Asset
2⃣ The Management
In these threads, we will concentrate on the CEO.

Borshoff served in the Aussie Army during the Vietnam War, an experience that connected him with Dustin Garrow, who became a lifelong companion throughout John's #Uranium ventures. Both drew valuable lessons from their time in the war, which later influenced their careers.

John Borshoff relates the lessons he learned during his time in the Vietnam War, and how it impacted his corporate #Uranium experience:
🔘Japanese Inventories
🔘Chinese Nuclear Expansion
🔘Utilities Contracting Cycle
🔘Supply Deficits & Demand Growth
🔘US Support for Nuclear Power
🔘 And lots more...

Treva Klingbiel kicks off with a bullish tone:
"Since we've had this last call a lot has happened, and we're getting incoming news daily that meaningfully impacts our outlook for where the #Uranium market's going in a positive way. So I just can't emphasize that enough."

Treva continues on a bullish note in regard to demand forecasts. @U3O8TradeTech is now seeing demand hitting the upper zone of the gradient, which would result in 250 million pounds of yearly #Uranium requirements demand in 2035.
"New plants have a 1st load factor where the initial fuel rods are equivalent to about 3.5 years of nuclear power consumption. So a new reactor connecting to the grid has a disproportionate effect on demand because of that 1st load."

Malcolm:
"What's often missed is that these are not the reactors of yesteryear. These are huge, huge reactors. The 4 in the UAE are 1300MW each. The EPR in Flaminville in France and the ones that are being built in Hinckley Point are in the range of 1600 to 1700MW."
In 2020 @SachemCove presented a "confidential - not-for-distribution" deck on the @MacroVoices podcast. This document has been prepared by Lloyd Harbor Capital Management.
Let's dive in & go back to basics: Math is the Math.

The document starts off with the prejudiced fear narratives common investors absorb or generate when it comes to investing in this sector.
Please take note of how some of those points are similar to the ones used by @ItsWarrenIrwin in his current #Uranium bear thesis.
3/22
If we pierce through the fear narratives we start seeing the first signs of the #Uranium bull case.
@ItsWarrenIrwin still uses the 2% PA demand growth model. But @FootnotesFirst explains that his models are very conservative & don't include restarts, life extensions, etc.
The recent short report on $UEC portrays it as a bunch of overpaid directors putting lipstick on a pig.
Opinions of all kinds have been shared on social media in the last few days.
I would like to focus on & compare Insider Ownership.

In my view, it is imperative to have the captains of the ship I embarked on chained to their ship in case their reckless actions sink it. Either we both sink together, or I am not getting on the ship.
If they dilute, they are affected. If they fail, they are affected too.

Let's start with the company that suffered the recent short report & attack: $UEC.
Main directors were only holding (they added relatively small positions after the report came out) 1% of the total shares. Board members' total ownership is not higher than 1.7%...
It takes a special kind of character to venture into junior mining & hunt for valuable minerals buried under dirt & stones. Raise capital, manage a team & engage in constant battle with Gov/social licenses.
Let's dive in!

Let's first get some misconceptions out of the way.
Not all psychopaths are serial killers. In fact, only very few are. Psychopathy is a wide spectrum. Most psychopaths are functional within society.
Only a very few (on the high end of the spectrum) look like this:

This thread is not about ⬆️ types.
We are going to have a deeper look at the center zone of the psychopathy spectrum where one meets the more successful CEOs of corporations. The pro-social psychopaths. Ambitious & often charming in public.
