Three Ways to Invest in Uranium Now, Before Prices "Go Nuclear"
An Investment U White Paper Report By Mike Gimignani and the Investment U Research Team
World leaders have pledged to more than double the current nuclear energy output within the next 20 years. With the global economy zooming along at breakneck pace – led by China with its 10% annual growth rate – and with the world's population poised to jump by 3 billion during that timeframe… Nuclear power is getting hotter by the minute.
But why are countries around the world suddenly turning to nuclear?
Just take a look at the alternatives…
- Oil is too expensive… Oil is up more than 100% over the past 3 years, and the International Energy Agency recently said that only enough fossil fuel reserves existed to meet demand through 2030.
- Coal is too dirty… Coal is the "dirtiest" fuel on the planet. Coal-fired power plants alone produce 10% of the world's greenhouse gases, while wasting more energy than they generate…
- And "green-friendly technologies" just aren't ready… Wind and solar power can't generate the 1,000-plus extra gigawatts of electricity that nuclear power can put out over the next few decades.
No wonder nuclear power – much cleaner and more efficient than oil or gas – is suddenly seen as the "non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy global demand," according to Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore.
But here's the problem…
The yellow stuff that drives almost every reactor in the world – uranium – has reached a supply gap that dwarfs the wildest dreams of the most successful oil or coal investors. In fact, worldwide uranium demand already exceeds supply by 139%, and it could take a decade or more before mines are able to crank up production.
No wonder prices have jumped almost 500% in five years, from just $7 a pound in 2000 to well over $40 today. But with demand, especially from China, outstripping supply by tens of millions of pounds a year with no end in sight, prices should continue to skyrocket.
So how can you invest in this burgeoning market? This report will show you three proven strategies for investing in uranium to maximize your profit potential.
Uranium Strategy #1: Follow The Money… From China…
China's amazing run of growth stands to explode the rapidly charging uranium market even more than the prolific gains in oil over the last few years.
A few savvy investors made truckloads of money when the Chinese demand to expand caused worldwide supply gaps in everything from oil and natural gas to concrete and Cuisinarts. A few other examples:
- China's insatiable demand for steel caused prices to double, and savvy investors made 553% on international Mittal Steel Company in just 13 months…
- China's copper requirements pushed Phelps-Dodge, the world's largest miner, up 253% in 16 months…
- China needed coal, and those who got ahead of the soaring demand made 268% on Fording Canadian Coal…
- China demanded aluminum to supply its soaring appliance and auto factories – and Empire Resources lit up 1,257%…
The Chinese boom hit the commodity market like an H-bomb, and yet the People's Republic recently committed $50 billion to build more than 30 new reactors. The project means China will enjoy 11% of the world's nuclear energy capacity – a 360% increase.
It still isn't nearly enough. Not by a long shot. Wired magazine reported that Chinese scientific advisers estimated the country's short-term nuclear power needs at "300 gigawatts, not much less than the 350 gigawatts produced worldwide today."
All these new reactors will have one thing in common: they need fuel. If you're wondering how big China's demand for uranium is growing, consider this:
