I have a friend who works for Babcock and Wilcox in their
nucleur engineering department and he's been busier than hell for 3
years now.Great business to be in right now.
This is just my opinion; I think that the uranium stocks and
will be depressed till there is positive talk out of Washington
about new plants being built in this country. While the rest of the
world has continued to build nuclear power plants over the last 30
years, we have not. The uranium stocks skyrocketed in 2007-08 and
created a bubble which has now found the price at a reasonable
level and the miners should move up from here. There are two big
issues with these stocks, one is the China sydrome from Hollywood,
the other is that these power plants DO NOT contribute to green
house gases. Which side will win???? I don't know?
The biggies are CCJ,BPT,RPT,and then there is
PALAF,PNP,ASXSF,DTEMF,FRCMQ,IDARQ,LEXEF,LMRXF,MGAFF,TSRMF,TVCFF,TUEFF
and there is the etf NLR.
The etf NLR was started at the top in 2007 so it's chart really
doesn't help but here is a chart of
CCJthat shows the rise and fall and now basing of the
industry.
According to a "Frontline" documentary I saw on PBS, there are
something like 93 nuclear plants in the US, utilizing 83 or 85
different designs.
Bring on the standardize pebble bed reactor!!! But then if there
were only 2-3 designs, what would the NRC do? Cut budget, lay off
staff, LOL, not in the govt heavy world we have surrendered to, no
way.

I can't find a chart right off for long term uranium that goes back more then 2007, but it seems it was selling for $25 before the bubble fromed.
