uranium sector during market correction, page-17

The time to worry would be if the uranium price itself were to fall. Given the current concern with global warming, and the concomitant move towards nuclear power, that seems unlikely, in the short term. (Probably the only thing to threaten uranium would be nuclear fusion. There's an experimental fusion reactor being built in France, but that won't come on line until 2012; and the problems with containing a self-sustaining fusion reaction haven't even begun to be addressed.) So while any overall stockmarket fall would probably cause a kneejerk reaction among holders of uranium stocks, the moment everyone saw the uranium price was holding up the money would flood back in. Too many people are comparing the uranium boom with the dot.com boom. The uranium boom is backed by a real commodity with a real, increasing price; the dot.com boom was a bubble of pure speculation.
