URANIUM

Some people drink deeply from the
fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

The
above chart quite clearly illustrates that Uranium is in a
long term super bullish phase. It continues to put in new 52
week highs almost on a weekly basis and is now trading at a
20 year high. One would think that uranium has already moved
up too much and that there cannot possibly be much more
upside left in this bull. Take a look at the chart below and
the outlook changes considerably and if one adds in the
supply factor the picture gets even more bullish. Note
Uranium has quite a way to go before it catches up to its
old high and with all the new nuclear power plants being
supply is going to be a massive problem. Current demand
exceeds mined supplies by almost 50%; the rest of the demand
is being met with above the ground supplies. These supplies
are eventually going to run out.

A
quick look at this chart illustrates that uranium still has
a long way to go before it equals the highs it put back in
the 1970s. The true bullish phase will begin when it
surpasses these highs. Otherwise one could technically argue
that this is nothing but a dead cat's bounce in a long term
secular bear market. We personally believe that there is a
tremendous amount of upside potential left in this market.
One of the main reasons is that it's not yet receiving much
public coverage. Every now and then someone mentions it but
it's still not the hot story in town.
Contrarians will play this market differently as soon as
uranium hits the front pages of major magazines and
newspapers they will bail out. At TI where we focus heavily
on mass psychology this will not the ideal time to bail out.
In fact it's at this stage that the mass feeding frenzy will
begin and the ride up though very volatile should produces
additional gains of as much as 500%. We will ride it up
until our psychological indicators state that the
bullishness has reached to an unsustainable level and then
we will bail out.
As
we have repeatedly stated in the past every potentially
great sector is loaded with interesting plays, one just has
to know when to position one self in these plays. Today's
leaders will not be tomorrow's leaders and some stocks will
for the most part remain losers. An example is MYNG
in the Gold Sector; from a high of 30 cents in Oct 2003 it's
now trading at 1 cent and that's after gold went on to put
in series of new 52 week highs.
The
need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the
need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself
for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the
instinct in man for expansion.
Matthew Arnold 1822-1888,
British Poet, Critic
