Yeah. Holy tendies. I can't believe he has held on for those this long. That said, he has testified in front of a senate committee and is probably having everything he has ever said on reddit and every video he has every done on youtube being reviewed by the SEC. As such, he may be holding just to help his chances of avoiding prison.

***NOTE*** I don't think he did a damn thing wrong!

The last nuclear power plant built in US was in late 20th century.

And with current administration and environmental hysteria -- why would anyone think there will be new ones built any time soon?

I'm not looking at this as a "this year" or specific to USA play. I'm thinking the longer HODL game on it.

IAEA forecasts doubling of nuclear capacity by 2050 in 'high case'

The International Atomic Energy Agency has released its latest projections for energy, electricity and nuclear power trends through 2050. Compared with the previous year, the 2020 projections are largely unchanged. Under the high case scenario, IAEA analysts expect an increase of global nuclear...

The big news with Uranium is they're speculating that space exploration will start looking at nuclear powered rockets instead of conventional ones

I'm not personally planning a 2050 play. Since in 2050 I'll be around 80 years old and hopefully well into an enjoyable retirement. Now, something where I can realize better than market returns over the next 10-15 years? Those are things I'm looking at for the "Set and forget" portion of my investments.

I mean that if those build outs are in process then the first reactors could be coming online in a few years. Plus there are the realities about how much in both physical resources (silicon, etc..) and space (real estate) it will take to actually realize wind and solar renewables potential. Knowing that politics are going to keep pushing away from fossil fuels, this means inevitably it will either lead to more nuclear power, or some currently unpredicted White Swan level event involving solar panel efficiency.

I take it as a bad idea to plan on better than market returns. It can happen, and some sectors tend to outpreform (tech) long term. But your type of thinking is exactly why some sectors of tech are incredibly over-valued. EV stocks in particular are extremely bloated. Will the companies themselves expand to fill that bloat? The market seems to think some will, but almost certainly it won't be that all will. There's money to be made, but diligence is required.

The only set and forget investments are ones that tag onto the market and get pulled along. Nasdaq, S&P, whole market.

Realistically none of that is monetizable on any meaningful scale.

Uranium for plants? We'll be lucky to get 1 new plant in next 20 years
Uranium for rockets? Space travel/tourism/exploration wont be mass-scaled enough in 10-15 years to monetize uranium fuel for rockets in any meaningful numbers.

Index funds, major tech companies would probably gain considerably more value over next 10-15 years than some uranium mining company

Not in my lifetime. The outcry over "but what if it explodes after it takes off" will never allow it. Look how much shit revolves around military satellites carry "undisclosed nuclear material"

Some country will allow it.

And it's basically required for any meaningful space anything

And before you say the military might run out anytime soon, there's a reason the military has a hundred floating reactors. It's the same thing that oil companies started doing when it got really hard to build refineries. Just make it float and do your business offshore and suddenly nobody cares.

The floating refineries they have are actually pretty badass if you've never looked it up.

I picked up a bunch of NCLH for the 401k portfolio. Great bounce off of the 100 day and it has been a very strong stock. CDC can change their stance with summer and more vaccines on the horizon. Long term, this was a great dip buy.

There is an art to investing in meme/yolo/wsb stocks. That art is pretty simple. Be one of the first 100 in the door and one of the first 10 out of the door. These momentum plays are strictly hit and run jobs. I am not saying you cant hang around and make money but... The odds are stacked against it. Its why I preach always have an investing plan before you ever make a trade. That plan has to have an exit strategy. I was a proud owner of AMC for about 37 minutes. Bought it in the pre-market at $7 (after it had already been running up in the 4am hours) and was out at somewhere around $15 before 9:45am. Could I have made more by hanging around longer? Yes. My plan was to bail as soon as I doubled my money and I did. Haven't looked back since.

To be successful you have got to limit losses and opportunities to create losses. Its impossible to avoid them, but you have to limit them. One way to do this is not be a hog. Don't always swing for the homerun Roaring Kitty style. Use the tools available to limit losses and protect gains like trailing orders. This also applies to SPACs. Have a realistic return in your mind and GTFO when you hit it, or at least set stops to protect your gains once you hit those targets. 20, 30, 50% gain on a SPAC should be realistic exit targets. The average annula return of the S&P 500 is about 10% for a year. Making 30% in a month's time on a SPAC flip is amazing. Which is why buying near NAV is critical. Have a plan. Stick to the plan. Don't be a hog. Enjoy tendies.

Basically don't be greedy, have reasonable goals. Sounds good to me. Sort of like knowing how many swings to go for on a boss in Dark Souls. Good players will do their 1-2 swings when they have an opening, then back off. N00bs who are used to playing other non-Souls things will stay in and try to get 3-4 swings during the opening, and this greed will often result in them getting plowed by a counterattack.

Yeah. its ok to be greedy, just dont be "too" greedy. And always have a plan and always be willing to admit to yourself your plan was wrong and change it if need be.
