Cameco Corp (USA)

  • 3 Post-Earnings Sells for Wednesday

    By Brian Nichols - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, IPGP, MA

    A stock’s initial trend after earnings does not mean that it is either a buy or a sell. Stocks trade illogically after earnings all the time, and in this piece I am looking at three stocks to “sell” regardless of the post-earnings trend on Wednesday.

    Still too Many Questions and Not Enough Guidance

    Shares of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) traded relatively flat after reporting earnings on Wednesday, as the company more »

  • Japan's Nuclear Exports Are Bullish for Miners and Japan

    By Joshua Bondy - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, EWJ, TM

    Japan's Fukushima disaster caused a public backlash and the call for the removal of nuclear power. Japan's previous plans to increase nuclear power to meet half of the country's needs have been scrapped.  The lost growth is a negative for the nuclear industry, but Japan is trying to export its nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. The developing Saudi-Japanese partnership will help to ensure a steady supply of more »

  • Nuclear's Health Risks Are Over-Inflated

    By Joshua Bondy - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, NLR, URRE

    The societal effects of an energy source are important for policy makers. Before approving a new nuclear power plant regulators look at all parts of the facility and its potential impact on the surrounding area. The Fukushima disaster tarnished nuclear's image even though researchers estimate that just 130 people will die from directly related cancers. Nuclear energy does have some health costs, but the history shows that it is more »

  • Where is Coal's Future without Ontario?

    By Joshua Bondy - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, BTU, RIO

    Ontario, Canada will finally cut its ties with coal. A year ahead of schedule, they will shut down the province's last remaining coal plant by the end of 2013. It would be dangerous to make a linear projection and say this trend will continue worldwide. The reality is that Ontario's special geography and history makes it uniquely suited to say adios to coal.

  • Uranium Sector Update, Interest Building?

    By Peter Epstein - April 9, 2013 | Tickers: ESOFD, ARVCF.PK, BHP, CCJ, EFRFF, FSSIF, RIO, SXRZF.PK

    I think we're seeing an increase in institutional interest in the Uranium sector amid M&A activity and excitement over recent exploration success in Canada. Acquisitions including Denison Mines' (NYSEMKT: DNN) pending takeover of Fission Energy and Russia's ARMZ acquiring Uranium One, are prime examples. On the exploration front, Fission Energy and Alpha Minerals have received an enormous amount of attention for discoveries at Patterson Lake South in more »

  • There's Still A Nuclear Future

    By Reuben Brewer - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, EXC, GE

    Cancer specialist Robert Peter Gale recently wrote on Bloomberg.com that “...Fukushima has become a reminder that uninformed fears aren't the same as actual risks.” In other words, nuclear fears are overblown. That, of course, means that a nuclear future is still both viable and probable. Investors have numerous ways to participate.

  • Eventually Molten Salt Reactors Will Boost Uranium Miners

    By Joshua Bondy - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, DML, URA

    Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are commonly viewed as negative force for traditional uranium miners. Their ability to use waste from conventional reactors will create a number of power plants that do not need new supplies of uranium. It is important to analyze the situation from an industry perspective and look at the potential synergies between traditional plants and MSRs. These synergies can help to ease the worries of regulators, support more »

  • Uranium Sector Update: Is Interest Building?

  • The U.S. Isn't Ready to Go Green -- and Neither Is Your Portfolio

    By Michael Carter - February 28, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, FSLR, FAN, SPWR

    For all their promise, alternative energy technologies remain barely close to reality, and nowhere near a necessity. As the following stocks and industries demonstrate, the U.S. isn’t ready to "go green" -- and neither is your portfolio.

    Solar

    Two of the bigger players in this sector are SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR) and First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR).  The year kicked off well for SunPower when Warren Buffet endorsed the company by more »

  • Should You Own Cameco?

    By Ryan Palmer - February 20, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, RIO

    Strong industry fundamentals make nuclear power a wise investment. Economically, it is more viable than any method of electricity generation besides hydroelectric which itself is severely limited geographically in where it can be produced. Environmentally, the generation of nuclear power does not result in the release of any toxic air pollutants or greenhouse gasses. Global consumption of uranium has exceeded production in every year since 1985, with the gap being more »

  • Superman Avoiding Kryptonite – Considers Investing in Uranium

    By Michael Ugulini - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: AU, CCJ, IAG, RIO

    At a recent Investor's conference I talked to the Man of Steel who reported his renewed interest in Uranium while avoiding Kryptonite altogether. "For obvious reasons I'm risk-averse as concerns Kryptonite, but I'm researching the opportunities in Uranium and the companies that have projects in this area."

  • Will 2013 Be the Turnaround Year for Uranium Stocks?

    By Masam Abbas - January 28, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, PALAF, SXRZF.PK

    Uranium stocks have been under consideration for a while. Though the price for uranium has been in a downtrend since mid-2012, there are bulls out there who believe that they see steady growth in the demand for this metal. David Talbot, the mining analyst at Dundee Securities, said that 2013 should be the turnaround year for uranium. Let’s have a look at the earnings preview of a few uranium more »

  • Ignore Uninformed PR, Examine the Facts about Uranium

    By Joshua Bondy - January 8, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, DML, URA, UEC

    Nuclear energy is a highly contentious issue and it is easy to get wrapped up in the latest political discussion. Human beings use the availability heuristic to place greater importance on recent events discarding older and harder to remember information. Japan acted in a similar fashion when following Fukushima they stated they were ready to phase out all nuclear power. With the fading of Fukushima into the history books LNG more »

  • Will Adoption Ruling Be a Foreshadowing for Nuclear Decision With U.S.?

    By John Licata - January 8, 2013 | Tickers: CCJ, DML, URA, UUU, USU

    Editor's Note: The original article incorrectly stated Uranium usage the U.S. produces. This version has been corrected.

    Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has been targeting his country’s use of nuclear power to grow 25% by 2030 from roughly 16% of total electricity production (present Russian nuclear capacity is 24GW). That nuclear power forecast number may prove to be conservative since Russia may speed the retirement of older nuclear more »

  • Black Swans and Gun Control

    By Reuben Brewer - December 26, 2012 | Tickers: CCJ, EXC, SWHC, TM

    The tragedy that transpired in Newtown, Connecticut was a horrible event. It was also a black swan; an event that was totally unpredictable and yet almost destined to happen, eventually. It has taken a material toll on the gun industry and can be an important lesson to investors.
