Wyoming Governor To Uranium Miners: Bring Us Your Projects!
“We’re Ready: This State is in Play!”
The New Face of Wyoming’s Uranium Mining
Part One of a Five-Part Series
Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal really likes the current uranium bull market, “I hope the price of yellowcake stays up, and things get moving.” Yes, the Wyoming democratic governor strongly endorses uranium mining in his state. That would make sense because Wyoming is the largest U.S. uranium producer. More than 40 percent of the uranium reserves in the Un…
Mismanagement At The New York Times
The New York Times Company (NYT) isn’t just reporting the news – it’s making the news. At yesterday’s annual meeting, shareholders withheld 28% of their votes for the four directors elected by holders of the company’s common stock. Nine other directors are elected by holders of the Class B shares, effectively granting control of the company to a group holding less than a 1% economic interest in the business.
Most of the large newspaper companies have not done a great job o…
For Those Who Want To Become Daytraders….
So you’d like to earn your living DayTrading?
You have all heard the stories of losing DayTraders running down the streets shooting people?
During the heady .com days prior to 2001, (when Bush became president,) there were stocks, 3 or 4 times a week that went up from 30 to 200% a day.
It was possible, if you knew what you were doing, to check before the market opened to see which stocks were running in real time and why.
And, if you then had a fast electronic bro…
Is This Uranium Bull Market For Real?
In light of Toshiba’s recent proposed acquisition of Westinghouse Electric from the government-owned British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL), historians may be reminded of former Westinghouse Chairman Robert Kirby’s litigious international outcry and prolonged battle over secretive and illegal price manipulation by a global uranium cartel. In the 1970s, Westinghouse, determined to capture the world market of building nuclear reactors, offered dirt-cheap nuclear fuel as part of its incen…
Managing Option Directional Trades
Options provide great position management and risk control potential when using them to trade the market directionally. This goes beyond the simple fact that a long position in a call or put option has an absolute maximum risk equal to the cost of the option (plus commissions, of course). That, in and of itself, is a very useful thing. What this article discusses, however, are a couple of handy little things one can do while holding an option position to maximize the return a…
Reflections of a Trader
I must admit I love trading. I have loved it all my life. When I was about 8 years old I learned what the stock market was
Canadian Research Analyst Forecasts Severe Uranium Supply Crunch For Next 10 Years
Uranium to Head North of $500/pound?
Rising Uranium Price May Consolidate Exploration Sector, Driving Intense Takeover Activity
Legendary stock picker James Dines recently compared uranium stocks to the high-flying net stocks of the halcyon days of the Internet expansion era. While the much-hyped and fleeting Y2K crisis never materialized, the U.S. energy crisis for highly sought uranium has been developing for more than twenty years. Still early in the current bullish …
An Analysis Of Journal Communications (JRN)
Journal Communications (JRN) is comprised of seven essentially separate businesses: The Milwaukee Sentinel, Community Newspapers, Television Stations, Radio Stations, Telecommunications, Printing Services, and Direct Marketing. The company’s five reportable segments do not exactly match these seven businesses; however, I believe an investor should analyze JRN on the basis of these seven businesses and their constituent properties, rather than as a single going concern with fi…
An Analysis Of Lexmark
In 2005, Berkshire Hathaway bought about a million shares of Lexmark. I haven’t followed this story closely, but I assume the stock was purchased by Lou Simpson rather than Warren Buffett. I have only two reasons for believing this: the total purchase was small relative to Berkshire’s investable assets and the Lexmark purchase is typical of Simpson’s investment philosophy (or at least, what little I can glean about his investment philosophy from his past purchases). Regardles…
