Which would you add to? All are in corporate non reg acct. Also want to increase my US and International exposure. Is there a reason not to do it in this sector?

Q: It looks like Uranium Participation Corp is being taken over to the new Sprott Physical Uranium Trust later this year with a owners getting 1/2 unit for each common share. The shares will be delisted from the TSX and they plan to list in the US.

As a long suffering owner of U:CA, is it better to just sell my shares now or hold on through these management changes ?
It is held in my RRSP so there are no tax considerations here.

What happens during the time of delisting and hopeful new US listing; or should that happen on the same day?

Do you have other considerations that I should look for here?

Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

Please help me understand something. Was the recent substantial run up in LIF's price since mid June followed by today's substantial decline of over 6% all attributable to the special dividend of $1.75 that was announced on June 15 with an ex-date of today? Are there those out there who chase dividend payouts even if it means putting up 40K to realize 1.75K, while also assuming the risk that the stock might head south?

If so, is there anything to be learned about LIF's future prospects from the recent dividend driven activity and, if not dividend driven, what else might have caused such a decline today? For such a pricey stock it seems pretty volatile.

Thanks for your insight.
