Nu Guru Content; Standout Market Movers; Two New U3O8 Catalysts - InvestorsGuru.com
New InvestorsGuru.com Content
Since 1995 our website and newsletters have informed hundreds-of-thousands of site visitors and members about the markets—always with a focus on interesting small-cap stock ideas. Our pages are kept clean, with no ads other than a top small-cap banner, and information is conveniently grouped together—other sites tend to piecemeal data to generate more views of irrelevant ad-littered pages.
For example, to research any security just submit a ticker symbol to our Detailed Quote Portal—producing one page with the stock's Detailed Quote, News Releases and Blogs, plus 12 tabs at the top for everything from Time & Sales, Option Chains, Java Charts, Financials, Insider Activity & Filings, Analyst Ratings, Earnings Estimates & Targets, to Historical Data. A Comment Board was recently added to the bottom of every stock's page—sign-in with a social account to post or share.
We always strive to add new small-cap content and investor tools. Our homepage shows data tables of various Indexes, Commodities, Market Movers & Currencies (with converter), and our social news feeds: Guru Trader Tweet (2,929 followers), Small Caps Buzz (484 members), IR/PR Buzz (415 resource/mining companies) and Non-Resource Stocks (60 companies), plus Recent Board Comments, Videos and an editable stock Watch List.
Near the top, under Nu Guru Reports, are our most recent Small-Cap Stock Observer newsletters, Featured Stocks Profiles & News, plus 40 Sector News & 26 Topic News links. November we added a Contributed Content section of informative company articles by interviewed analysts—posted daily.
February 26 we started a new weekly publication called Our Filtered Mid-Day Market Movers Recap. As the title suggests, this lists the 50-75 or so notable stocks that we tracked the previous week, with posted prices, the week's high price, a brief company description and its most recent news—based on algorithmic and subjective filtering of the top Volume Actives, % Gainers, $ Gainers, New Highs, news releases and chart trends. We post 10-15 or so of these active stocks live throughout each market day on our homepage's Mid-Day Market Mover area (the light-green fading text-box at the top).
Our monthly newsletter tends to focus more on longer-term macro-events—economies and markets in general, with timely updates on certain industries and related companies. For those more interested in micro-events and potential short-term ideas to research, we will start emailing Our Filtered Mid-Day Market Movers Recap—each weekend. Members are emailed our newsletters first, then posted at our website and blog with a comment area at the bottom—or email Feedback@InvestorsGuru.com. Free!
Recent Standout Market Movers
Our filtered market movers focus on small-cap stocks with a market capitalization of less than $500 million, although lower priced larger-cap stocks can also qualify. We look for stocks with some combination of unusually high trading volumes with upward price action, seemingly constructive chart trends or breaking 52-week or all-time highs, and recent news. News releases provide our company description and an idea of whether additional news flow can be expected—for example buyouts and mergers are excluded as these are usually one-time events, whereas news about a product patent or drug approval, or a mining company's drill program can play out for months.
Please keep in mind that while a Trend Trader might believe that a stock in motion tends to stay in motion, a Short Trader or Market Maker might instead argue that what goes up must come down. In any event market movers provide a snapshot of what's moving that day, but are not recommendations.
Our Filtered Mid-Day Market Movers Recap of last week's tracked stocks will be emailed tomorrow. Here's 20 notable market movers as posted live multiple times on our homepage in previous weeks:

Two New Potential Uranium Catalysts
Since before Japan's Fukushima nuclear accident, which occurred two years ago as of Monday, our newsletters have regularly discussed the long-term growth prospects of uranium and various uranium mining companies from junior explorers, to development stage companies, to major producers. It's no secret that we see nuclear energy as the only practical bridge away from burning dirty fossil fuels—for a growing world that requires abundant, reliable, low-cost and environmentally safe energy.
The market recognized this in 2010, and into 2011, with uranium being one of the hottest sectors. However since Fukushima, prices for U3O8 and for most uranium mining stocks have been slashed drastically. We believe that the extent and duration of this sell-off is overdone as the facts at World-Nuclear.org/info/reactors.html continue to show that nuclear energy worldwide is still growing rapidly—with more nuclear plants now in construction or planned than even before Fukushima.
Our February newsletter had a section called Uranium Poker & Russia's Tell, that discussed how to read between the lines for more information about the uranium industry. It also describes six key catalysts that may jumpstart prices of U3O8 and uranium mining stocks this year.
More analysts are warming-up to uranium miners again, with report titles containing phrases such as the rebound, revival, or renaissance expected in the uranium industry. In addition to the catalysts that we wrote about last month, a recent analyst report focused on two new potential uranium catalysts—events in Kazakhstan and Mali that may cause uranium supply disruptions.
Kazakhstan is the world's largest producer of uranium. The 7-page February 4th report mentions that a mid-January storm caused severe damage to power lines, resulting in power outages at uranium mines in the Sozak region. Halted uranium mining could take 6-8 weeks to resume, with a maximum impact on supply of 2.4 to 3.2 million pounds of U3O8 this year.
The report also mentions the recent military actions in Mali, West Africa—that have been intensifying lately. The French government is involved, presumably to protect Areva's 63.4% owned Arlit and 34% owned Akouta mines in neighbouring Niger—another major uranium producing nation. These two mines will produce 10.9 million pounds or 7% of the world's uranium supply in 2013.
These events are still playing out. Another point to consider is that unlike some other commodities with more gradual price trends, over the past decade uranium has seen extremely sharp spikes and sell-offs from less than $40lb. to $137lb. and back again—see long-term monthly spot price chart.
Until prices clearly turn higher again, we remain focused more on companies that are better positioned to move higher first—with mines in development—rather than pure exploration plays. As shown there are several catalysts that could spark the next uranium rally at any time this year, as production worldwide is tight enough that unexpected political turmoil or even bad weather can have a material effect on supply—and at some point on U3O8 spot prices.

Two New Potential Uranium Catalysts
Since before Japan's Fukushima nuclear accident, which occurred two years ago as of Monday, our newsletters have regularly discussed the long-term growth prospects of uranium and various uranium mining companies from junior explorers, to development stage companies, to major producers. It's no secret that we see nuclear energy as the only practical bridge away from burning dirty fossil fuels—for a growing world that requires abundant, reliable, low-cost and environmentally safe energy.
The market recognized this in 2010, and into 2011, with uranium being one of the hottest sectors. However since Fukushima, prices for U3O8 and for most uranium mining stocks have been slashed drastically. We believe that the extent and duration of this sell-off is overdone as the facts at World-Nuclear.org/info/reactors.html continue to show that nuclear energy worldwide is still growing rapidly—with more nuclear plants now in construction or planned than even before Fukushima.
Our February newsletter had a section called Uranium Poker & Russia's Tell, that discussed how to read between the lines for more information about the uranium industry. It also describes six key catalysts that may jumpstart prices of U3O8 and uranium mining stocks this year.
More analysts are warming-up to uranium miners again, with report titles containing phrases such as the rebound, revival, or renaissance expected in the uranium industry. In addition to the catalysts that we wrote about last month, a recent analyst report focused on two new potential uranium catalysts—events in Kazakhstan and Mali that may cause uranium supply disruptions.
Kazakhstan is the world's largest producer of uranium. The 7-page February 4th report mentions that a mid-January storm caused severe damage to power lines, resulting in power outages at uranium mines in the Sozak region. Halted uranium mining could take 6-8 weeks to resume, with a maximum impact on supply of 2.4 to 3.2 million pounds of U3O8 this year.
The report also mentions the recent military actions in Mali, West Africa—that have been intensifying lately. The French government is involved, presumably to protect Areva's 63.4% owned Arlit and 34% owned Akouta mines in neighbouring Niger—another major uranium producing nation. These two mines will produce 10.9 million pounds or 7% of the world's uranium supply in 2013.
These events are still playing out. Another point to consider is that unlike some other commodities with more gradual price trends, over the past decade uranium has seen extremely sharp spikes and sell-offs from less than $40lb. to $137lb. and back again—see long-term monthly spot price chart.
Until prices clearly turn higher again, we remain focused more on companies that are better positioned to move higher first—with mines in development—rather than pure exploration plays. As shown there are several catalysts that could spark the next uranium rally at any time this year, as production worldwide is tight enough that unexpected political turmoil or even bad weather can have a material effect on supply—and at some point on U3O8 spot prices.
