The Uranium Boom: Tap into the World's Most Sought-after Natural Resource As the population explodes and fuel sources dwindle, the world will likely turn to nuclear power as a solution. That means an increased demand for uranium. The experts at Investment University show you how to profit from the uranium boom.
The world's population is growing exponentially. To many people, concerned about the earth's ability to feed and house the burgeoning ocean of humanity, this fact is sobering. But to certain (visionary and profit-minded) others, it's deeply promising. Very shortly, more than 9 billion people will need electricity. And there just isn't enough coal and oil to supply that need. Yes, a worldwide fuel crisis - one that dwarfs the great oil shortage of the 1970s - is on its way. In fact, supplies of one fuel in particular are in such high demand, it's created a shortage 139 times bigger than oil. And the experts at Investment U say very few investors know - or even understand - the size and scope of this opportunity.
"Take notice," says Mark Whistler, coauthor along with Alexander Green, Horacio M�rquez, and Louis Bass of Investment U's Profit from Uranium: How the "Largest Buildout" in the History of Energy Could Hand Investors 435% or More (Wiley, 2006, ISBN: 047012234X). "The supply of uranium, the raw stuff that creates nuclear power, is already so short that worldwide prices have doubled in twelve months, tripled in twenty-four months - and are soaring higher by the day."
That's right. According to Whistler and his coauthors - who are also members of Investment U, a research team that delivers independent, no-nonsense investment advice regarding how to build long-lasting wealth-uranium is 240 times more valuable than oil. It's 1,687 times more valuable than coal and hundreds of times more valuable than aluminum ... or lumber ... or concrete ... or any other type of commodity that China is devouring to build its infrastructure. And it could be very valuable to you, if you make the right investments now.
Furthermore, unlike the situation with oil, there isn't a "cartel" (think OPEC) that controls the price of uranium. It's negotiated freely in the markets on a weekly basis, between miners, enrichment companies, and end users.
"At the end of the day, the price of uranium is controlled by 'supply and demand,' which should keep the price moving only higher in the years to come," says Whistler. "In fact, right now, existing facilities can't mine uranium fast enough to keep up with demand. It's a supply-gap squeeze, the likes of which have never been seen in peacetime for any commodity."
The investment experts at Investment U say there are four indelible reasons uranium demand will continue far into the future, thus making it a sound and profitable investment. They are:
Global warming: The environment desperately needs a solution to the problems caused by a century of burning fossil fuel.
The depletion of fossil fuels: The Energy Information Administration predicts that total global consumption of energy will grow 57 percent from 2002 to 2025 - fueled by the world's population growing at an exponential rate. It's essential for the world to find a solution to the growing population-energy demand crisis, and the environmental damage being caused by fossil fuels - nuclear energy provides a potential answer.
Coal - the world's dirtiest natural resource: Coal is one of the largest greenhouse gas-emitters, creating sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide - both of which create smog and damage the ecosystem. And coal is one of the single-largest contributors to acid rain, which can transfer mercury to our water systems.
The surge in production of nuclear reactors: The world is building new nuclear reactors at a never-before-seen rate. In fact, it's been predicted that there will be over 2,600 nuclear reactors in operation by 2030.
"The future of nuclear power has never looked more promising," says Whistler. "Look at a country like China. Its population is growing exponentially and it is desperately trying to find a way to provide energy to all of these people. China has committed to spending $50 billion on building more than thirty new nuclear reactors. And according to the Australian Foreign Ministry, with whom China's been negotiating, uranium imports to China are due to increase from 2.5 million pounds per year to a staggering 44 million pounds per year - a 1,760 percent increase. Now is the time to invest in uranium while prices are still relatively low."
