Nuclear Revival: A Resurgence for Uranium Miners
“Nuclear radiation exposure is minimal compared to the many sources of radiation we could come across in our daily lives. ~80% of an average person’s annual radiation exposure comes from natural sources, such as sunlight, soil and water, while ~18% comes from man-made sources such as computers, cell phones and x-rays. Less than only 1% comes from the nuclear industry, including uranium exploration and mining.”

Important Disclosure
Investment Risks
Gold and other precious metals may be referred to as a “store of value”, “safe haven”, “safe asset” and a variety of synonymous terms and phrases. These terms of art commonly used in precious metals investing do not guarantee, explicitly or implicitly, any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds, and cash—relative to others—typically do not carry a high risk of loss across all types of market cycles, there is no safety in any investment class and any asset class may lose value, including the possible loss of invested principal.
Precious metals investments are more volatile on a daily basis and have higher headline risk than other sectors as they tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events as well as underlying commodity prices. Precious metals investments have price fluctuations based on short-term dynamics partly driven by demand/supply and also by investment flows. Precious metals investments tend to react more sensitively to global events and economic data than other sectors.
Generally, natural resources investments are more volatile on a daily basis and have higher headline risk than other sectors as they tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events as well as underlying commodity prices. Natural resource investments are influenced by the price of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, coal, etc.; several of which trade on various exchanges and have price fluctuations based on short-term dynamics partly driven by demand/supply and also by investment flows. Natural resource investments tend to react more sensitively to global events and economic data than other sectors, whether it is a natural disaster like an earthquake, political upheaval in the Middle East or release of employment data in the U.S.
