There is a trend where more energy is going to be needed for AI and nuclear appears to be a good energy source. In the past you have suggested ETF,s NLR and URA as well as stocks CCO and NXE. Do you still have the same opinion and what stocks/ETF would you recommend as an entry point.
Recognizing OKLO is quite new and somewhat speculative how do you feel about thier earnings report yesterday?
Did you find the fundamentals are going in the right direction and would you be a buyer to round out a portfolio that is light on energy?
Thanks so incredibly much for your advice!
Q: Hi. I totally missed the boat on Palantir. When the stock was in the high 20s, my beliefs and lots of what I read was confirming that the stock was over priced (at least that is what I thought), and I felt same as the stock rose to the 30s, 40s, .... and now over a hundred. And I still feel that the stock will need to correct at some time, as it has a trailing P/E in excess of 500 and possibly a P/E of at least 300+ looking forward. I made exactly the same mistake with many other companies such as Netflix, Facebook, .... I know that small, newer companies can exponentially increase their profits as they grow up but there is no guarantee that they will be successful (let alone be excessively successful).
So my question is three fold (please deduct necessary credits).
1. What did I do wrong here? I watched the stock go up and up and never pulled the trigger, thinking it was always too expensive. I sometimes feel it is more of a meme stock.
2. Would you buy Palantir at these prices / why?
3. Do you feel that there may be some other companies out there that may be in their early days (or well established) with lots of room to grow. If yes, your listing a few of your top convictions, along with a sentence (or two) explaining your rationale and intuition would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Q: As a member of 5i for approaching a decade, I would like to thank you for the great service that you provide. In reading member questions about a month ago, I stumbled across OKLO and after a bit of research bought a bit and ended up with a very quick double. (thank you to the member who asked a question about it!) After the quick run up, I'm wondering if there is still a long runway for growth with this company?
Also,
Along the same lines, I'm wondering if there are any companies that you are somewhat surprised about that do not receive many questions/attention from members?
Q: There is alot of talk about nuclear energy for plant renewals or upgrades. Also a lot of (Small modular reactors). Rolls Royce .Are any of these worth looking at for investments. I have a lot of points for answer. What companies would benefit most in near future. From mining to eng'r to construction.
looking at the total nuclear complex from producers to manufacturing to servicing to repairing.............the whole industry now and into the future
besides the producers (i own cco and nxe) who do you see as potential investable companies over the next 5+ years
(in services, i own bwxt)
more specifically, i'm hearing more that small modular reactors will show good potential for our energy grid, who do you foresee as playing a role in building and servicing?
......and anything else you care to add on this theme!
Q: I have followed nuclear energy and Cameco for about three decades. It has been a tough investment environment for most of this time. We now are seeing a dynamic change in sentiment and planned expansion in this part of the energy sector. As an optimistic investor heavily invested in uranium stocks, I expect to have further capital gains as nuclear plants are built. However, it appears that some of the new modular reactors will use spent fuel rods as the source of uranium to run their reactors. Do you see this having a significantly negative impact on uranium demand going forward? Also, will the BEP’s Westinghouse purchase be material to the company in an expanding demand for nuclear energy?
With appreciation,
Ed
I realize this company is newly public so with little history it is hard to comment on fundamentals.
But do you feel the nuclear fission industry has a significant play in AI energy and basically is there anything compelling about buying this name for a 3 year hold?
Really appreciate all you folks do - the community you’ve created here with your expertise is inspiring!
My portfolio is well established with many blue chips and large cap tech companies. However, I keep a small seperate portfolio for interesting "moonshots" and I recently I took a small intial position in OKLO, small nuclear reactors, for a 5-10 year hold.
What are 5is houghts on OKLO?
What is Sam Altmans involvement?
