Denison Mines Corp (DML.TO)

Uranium producer, and the elephant in the room is what is going to happen in Japan. Many analysts would have expected their reactors would have been turned on by now. With uranium under $20 a pound, these companies are not really making any money. He would stay away from the space.

Denison and Cameco (CCO-T) are the 2 Canadian operators of uranium mines in the Athabascan Basin. This basin has the highest uranium grade deposits in the world. There have been some significant new discoveries, and activity is starting to blossom again in the basin. The future of uranium supply lies in the Athabascan Basin. The company is looking for high grade discoveries, which are worth billions of dollars.

He is more patient than most investors, and he is content to wait 2 or 3 years to be right with uranium. He likes this one, but it will not move in the next 90 days. It is much more likely to be the acquirer rather than the acquiree. The fees of U-T are a great source of revenue. You need a higher uranium price to get DML-T moving.

Not sure of the seasonality, but technicals are very interesting. Has been forming a nice little base pattern, unlike Cameco (CCO-T). Has been outperforming the TSX in the last few weeks, has positive momentum and has been forming a trading range. If it breaks above the resistance level, then you are going to see the stock take a move, probably back up close to the $1 level. Watch for encouragement from the company, particularly on the exploration front.

The trend is on the downside. It is not a good situation on a technical basis. On a seasonal basis it is dependent on what happens to Uranium. If Uranium prices recovery it might be work looking at.

They are merging with Fission (FCU-T) and it will provide them with future growth opportunities. This is one of the commodities that he would be somewhat bullish on. There is a push to lowering green house gases. He prefers Uranium Participation Units (U-T). It’s a little early to take a large position.

He owns Cameco (CCO-T) instead. Uranium can and should get tight, but it is a very politicized market. The uranium story hasn’t flowed through yet, but it could. There is an awful lot of effort to turn this into a company that he would like to see developed. A neat little company that could do well, but uranium has to do well first.

This whole space has not been a good place to be. The precious metals and the industrial metals spaces are terrible right now. Technicals are showing the indicators are really, really oversold.

Acquired Fission Uranium, and often when companies combine, that can cause some problems and some write-downs. Fission garnered an awful lot of press and ended very well because of it. Often when you have 2 weak companies merging, that often does not bode well. This could be a good pick, perhaps towards the end of the year after tax loss selling. He would stay away at this time.

One of the best positioned companies in the Athabascan Basin, and a takeover target by somebody. He likes it. Long-term, uranium looks like a good space to be in. They have the resources and the deposits, and it is a smart group.

Basically you have to watch the price of uranium, and it has to go through $40. The bellwether in the sector is Cameco (CCO-T), so you have to watch that. This stock is not going to do anything unless Cameco breaks out to new highs.

(Top Pick Mar 3/14, Down 38.67%) The bullish expectations for uranium have been postponed. Low Nat Gas prices relieved the pressure on Japan to restart reactors. He is still in other uranium stocks.

Uranium stocks do well from December to March. Around the end of October/November, there is usually a good run that will happen. The picture for uranium is still fairly positive. He would expect this to do well into March, and even in April.

He is sort of bullish that uranium prices go higher over the next couple of years, north of $50. If you want a little more leverage and take a little more risk, this is a kind that you can get a double or triple on, when uranium prices start to move.

In 1997 it was $600. At $1 now. U-T shows where uranium is going. $4.75 is the support level for U-T. It will be all based on Japan. They had issues, but are now thinking about firing up more nuclear reactors. Prefers CCO-T, however.
