Nuclear
Southern Company Stock Analysis (SO)Basic Facts:
Southern Company is itself a holding organization who owns all of the Common Stock for Alabama Power, Georgia Power, Mississippi Power, and Southern Gas; all of which are publically operating utilities. Southern’s other holdings include Natural Gas Distribution, Marketing, Wholesale services, and pipeline investments.
Growth Factors:
The total customers served under Southern’s (SO) area are about 4.5 million. This looks to be one of the largest areas of growth for the next decade. The recent pandemic has forced many people to re-evaluate what they want out of life. Contemplation has resulted in a mass exodus from northern states to southern states (see census data) as many freedom sensitive and financially cognizant individuals seek more accommodative socio-economic environments. I see this trend to continue as COVID transforms from a persistent threat to a source of past-trauma and driver of personal reflection. The trend of “realization” will, in all likelihood, continue and grow to a nexus in the next couple years. This may well increase Southern’s customer base by an order of magnitude over the next decade. The number of customers will grow until economic pressures force northern and liberal states to seek conformity with their more free counterparts. I think these pressures will need to persist for ten years before changes in these sates become apparent enough to soften demand for family and individual relocation.
Demand for Green Energy isn’t subsiding. Common notions of “green” energy typically involve: Solar, wind, and natural gas. Southern has a large presence in the Natural Gas industry along with very accommodative infrastructure and buy-back policies for solar generation. Political environment and other entities with SO’s area (Transmission entities, EMC’s, and Power Co-ops) are also accommodative to Solar Generation through buy-backs and Green Energy purchasing programs. These will bode well against the persistent narrative in favor of green energy.
SO’s interest in the Vogtle Units 3 and 4 also paints a very good picture for the future of net-zero carbon emitting generation. Commonly repeated negativity surrounding the numerous cost over-runs and delays surrounding construction of the Units are, in my opinion, vastly over-stated. The new Vogtle Units are state-of-the-art (new cooling technology and new style Westinghouse alternator). Most of what’s being done at Vogtle has never been done before in scope, scale, or timeline. The bankruptcy of Westinghouse (the manufacturer of the alternator used for Units 3 & 4) also stretched expected completion date. Considering these pressures, miscalculations in costs and timelines are to be expected. However, I believe most investors have priced in delays within the present stock’s price (~$61.00 per share).
I treat the inclusion of expanding Nuclear generation in my bullish assessment of Southern’s stock because, as the amount of traditional green energy (Solar and Wind) increases as a percentage of effective generation, it will become painfully clear the system becomes more fragile in exponential proportion to the amount of “green” generation expressed. Protecting the system against itself when this proportion of expressed green generation is large remains an evolving science. Many substations are adding high-voltage reactors to provide inertial frames for fault detecting relays but this will likely not be enough to appropriately protect the electric system. This will make classic rotating machines (steam turbines) necessary to provide base-generation and system stability (this is not opinion, but fact).
Nuclear power is also cheaper to generate though maintenance costs can be substantive (there are few things more complex than steam turbines). This will create an economic pressure for Southern to generate more power through their nuclear units as other utilities looking to buy power off the wholesale markets demand the cheaper energy (this is my opinion).
Monetary Environment:
In the age of Central Bank debt jubilation it’s always appropriate to consider the actions of the Federal Reserve into one’s evaluation of American equities. This is no different for my evaluation of Southern Company. The Fed has provided markets with liquidity ad nauseam. This was true even before the repo crisis of summer 2019 and the liquidity crisis of March 2020. Looking at the chart, one can see the precipitous rise of SO’s stock price throughout 2019 as the Effective Federal Funds Rate (in purple) decreased rapidly in the aftermath of the “taper tantrum” in 2018.
As the Fed has driven down the effective interest rate and costs of capital, investors can expect more capital appreciation for each dollar invested into financial markets. This has resulted in speculative waves in tech and other growth sectors which themselves have bred things like “meme stocks” and ESG investors. Narrative and “hopium” have become more significant than cash flow and asset valuations. This fact makes my present valuation of most equities included within the S&P remarkably over-bought and “bubbly” (death-gaze on TSLA). Over time, debt can never remain solvent at the present levels. The Fed will have to taper eventually and, once it does, capital will fly at super-sonic speeds away from growth investments (Amazon, Apple, Tesla, NVidia, and the tech industry as a whole) to value investments, like SO. This will not necessarily result in a rise in the stock’s price but those who are already positioned in value stocks once the Fed tapers will sleep easily.
Stock Price:
I expect the utility sector to languish through the summer as monetary conditions will remain accommodating throughout the rest of 2021. I don’t expect a rise of the stock price above $67.00 throughout the summer with no breakout above $70.00 for 2021.
The short-term trend of SO is bearish with the equity in a noticeable downtrend. However, SO is approaching the lower bound of a regression trend with a buy price of $60.50. A longer-term regression trend shows a bullish trend with the present price approaching the lower bound of that trend as well.
SO will need to hold $60.00 as a resistance. If this resistance fails the next price target would be $57.35.
My longerm (3-10 years) valuations is: BULLISH
UEC Uranium Play is Ready to go DEF CON 5!I had a random thought, voice, divine intervention, I don't know what it was but out of no where I had this, more than a thought or idea, but it was clear... "Look at URANIUM! " Subtle real Subtle......*slowly starts to run away*
Anyways in my dive into Uranium Plays I looked at URA which is a ETF and good but kind of slow....and about 4 other Uranium Stocks....Then I found this one UEC. UEC is not only a Company that stock piles Uranium, they invest in other companies stocks that have uranium! ETF Warehouse of URANIUM! AMAZON of URANIUM! ok I digress you get the idea. So that said I found the bottom, drew my trend lines from the past, slapped it and called it Sally......Waited for it to dip and then bought in on some option calls. I think where it is at currently isnt a bad place to get in $3.07. The option calls are .15 out of the money and .25 in the money! I mean I dont know what gets you all excited but I couldn't stand up for 15 mins when i found this.....Mostly because My back hurt and it was locked up....but thats besides the point.
If you are looking to add some something Nuclear in your plays this is the play to get in on. Just my .02 cent worth but i mean thats all i can afford so dont listen to me......or do. Either way I'll still be sitting here not standing up.

Good solid stock.I can't believe no on has published ideas on this solid stock. I'd like to see all those publishers and Idea people out there share their ideas on this one b/c this one has been very good to me. I am hoping they are getting into generation iv nuclear. Id' like to find more generation iv nuclear. We need some hope in our economy before the inflation apocalypse. We need nuclear energy and the Green Nuclear Deal to power up what will hopefully be huge amounts of manufacturing in the United States. We need nuclear so we can procure space. Own Space. Own the universe. Just some ideas
UEX BULLISH AF!!! 2000% POTENTIALI don't even know what to say.. it's the end of a 9 year accumulation phase, at the same time when Uranium starts a Bullrun.
The uranium miner stock I'm most bullish on.
Buy the dip on Uranium CCJI drew these trendlines about 2 weeks ago and since then the price action run like clockwork. Just used this to load up more on uranium-heavy bags. The white line is from multi-year falling wedge which was tested again and showed strong support. My actual price target is near ATH. I think we will miss the opportunity of CCJ below $20 soon.
Uranium is similar to planes. People are usually more afraid of flying than driving, but numbers do not lie and show that planes are the safest mode of transportation. I think the sentiment is shifting and the risk is to the upside.
DNN forming a bull flag, good entry to a long term play. Denison Mines is a uranium exploration & development company located in Toronto, Canada. They own 90% of the Wheeler River Project, which is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
They just raised $86.3m to buy physical uranium as an investment, which is tightening up the already short supply of uranium and further driving up the spot price. And recently, in a press release, Denison announced it was being added to the SP/TSX Composite Index and the addition took place this Monday (3/21), which means there will be some bigger players stepping in now.
I think this play has a lot of long term potential. A fast growing supply deficit of uranium and the Green New deal, I think this could play out nicely short term but I'm holding long term.
This is not financial advice
Bullish Charts - Uranium PlayCameco Corporation produces and sells uranium. The company operates in two segments, Uranium and Fuel Services. The Uranium segment is involved in the exploration for, mining, and milling, as well as purchase and sale of uranium concentrate. Its operating uranium property is the Cigar Lake property located in Saskatchewan, Canada. The Fuel Services segment engages in the refining, conversion, and fabrication of uranium concentrate, as well as the purchase and sale of conversion services. This segment also produces fuel bundles and reactor components for CANDU reactors. The company sells its uranium and fuel services to nuclear utilities in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Cameco - a rare opportunity to invest in carbon-free nuclear.Cameco's share price is down nearly 50% from it's 52-week high, despite what is normally a low beta stock. The Company has a strong balance sheet and over $1 billion in cash. The only issue is earnings. The P/E ratio is very high, but the $74 million in earnings (before adjustments) for 2019 was a paltry 18 cents per share in an oversupplied market for uranium. Cameco management is aware of this, and to quote their own strategy:
We will not produce from our tier-one assets to sell into an oversupplied spot market. During a prolonged period of uncertainty, this could mean leaving our uranium in the ground. As conditions improve, we expect to meet rising demand with production from our best margin operations.
NOSHORTEMBER IS COMING || ALTSEASON ANTICIPATION ANALYSIS Alright, despite all the bearish bullshit there are clear signs of upcoming HUGE MOVES.
Yeah you might get REKT on the way up, it's not going to be a comfortable ride like we had in 2017 (shout out to all the 2k17 veterans).
Expect a lot of whale fuckery (as usual, in fact this whole decline is due to whale-fuckery).
Don't forget about 22loops' warning about BTC ATL in mid-October.
This chart is here to inform you that you gotta pay close attention to ALTCAP in the upcoming days.
Good luck fellas

UUUU: Energy Fuels IncEnergy Fuels state they are "the No. 1 uranium producer in the U.S. with a market-leading portfolio" as well as being a recent vanadium producer.
Energy Fuels Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the extraction, recovery, exploration, and sale of conventional and in situ uranium recovery in the United States. The company owns and operates the Nichols Ranch uranium recovery facility located in Wyoming; the Alta Mesa project located in Texas; and the White Mesa Mill located in Utah. It also holds interests in uranium and uranium/vanadium properties and projects in various stages of exploration, permitting, and evaluation located in Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
Energy Fuels owns two fully licensed and constructed ISR uranium facilities in the U.S, with a combined capacity of 3.5 million pounds of uranium per year.
$42.6 million of working capital, including $16.6 million in cash, $11.4 million in marketable securities, 485,000 pounds of finished uranium goods inventory, and 610,000 pounds of finished vanadium goods inventory.
The Company completed no uranium sales of any significance during the quarter and continues to add to uranium inventories.
On July 12, 2019, President Donald J. Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (as amended), ordering the creation of the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group (the "Working Group") to "examine the current state of domestic nuclear fuel production to reinvigorate the entire nuclear fuel supply chain, consistent with United States national security and nonproliferation goals." The Working Group has 90 days from July 12, 2019 to complete its recommendations to the President. The Company intends to continue supporting this initiative in Q3-2019 and believes it has the potential to result in actions that provide meaningful support to the U.S. uranium mining industry.

Zinc Vs other metals, Winner-winner still UREducational Metal Futures Insights:
ZA1! Zinc futures are up 15% over the past month, however note "Uranium futures" have been notably increasing since May.
Silver COMEX:SI1! and Copper COMEX:HG1! futures have just started their uptick with recent volatility in
market. CBOE:VIX Gold GC1! is also just starting a small uptick.
The summary: Uranium is a low cost energy driver globally with China bringing on new plants, India on the horizon, the US domestic sourcing to some degree, and japan
starting to restart their power plants from 2011 Fukashima issue as safety, now 7-years later has been implemented for deemed fail-safe. Uranium has achieved an all-time
low from high in 2006-2007, and 2011-2012 to current recovery in April-May of this year. Any company that can benefit in gold, copper, silver along with uranium such as
Rio Tinto, great. Low energy nuclear fusion and going to be the next Uranium, so again mining companies with Nickel (no futures contacts and oddity and needs a futures
contract added) is another benefit. Suggest you use this Nickel website for ideas. www.miningfeeds.com

TOSBF- Toshiba 10 baggerHow did this not get more exposure? Under $3 stock now $28-29/share in last 2 months.
Wow, what a 1/10 split looks like...lol. Got yah!
LENR or low energy nuclear reactor technology and Toshiba technology battery....
Cameco LONG and 600% profit! Or everyone forgot about nucleus...10 years down...
Nuclear energy now is not fashionable.
The nuclear industry is now not popular.
Everyone forgot about it...
A good opportunity to buy cheap $11, cheap leader. With the goal $66 and earn 600%, probably will $8, good chance 825% $14 key level. Secured OVER $14 then $66 in your pocket:)
The idea is not canceled! No stops! It is not trade, it is the possession!
Enterprise Value/EBITDA 9.20
Debt/EBITDA 1.4
Not too cheap, but the company will increase EBITDA and will be growing!
Important remind: Stock - is not a line in the terminal, but a share in a real company! There will always be people who will want this share to increase!
