Been looking for a chance to buy Uranium producers. For the inevitable uranium bull market. Was waiting for a market correction, but this news ("Chinese nuclear plant 'performance issue' reported by its French joint operator") hammered Uranium stocks last night.
Decided to take the plunge and buy a 3% position. For something this risky, its gotta be a small enough position so that it doesn't hurt too much if it halves. Otherwise I can't stick with it. This is a "buy and forget" trade. I want to wake up a few years from now and find we're in a Uranium bubble.
Theres only 2 publicly listed Uranium companies currently producing:
- Kazatomprom - the world's lowest cost producer in Kazakhstan (LSE:KAP). Bought 364 GDRs @ USD 31 each.
- Cameco - a Canadian mid-cost producer (TSE:CCO). Bought 570 shares @ 23.83 each
Its risky. Short term, the knife can keep falling, even if the fears turns out to be false. After rising so far, these stocks may need a few more more days to shake out weak hands. Long term, they can go up 3 or 4X if a real Uranium bull market occurs, like in 2007. They can also drop by 2/3rd if the worst turns out to be true and we get another Fukushima.
