Q: Looking for a CDN $ etf covering uranium - including physical commodity, miners, and companies involved in associated technologies. URA seems to fit the bill but is traded in US $. Is HURA the same -? Looking at both websites, I get the impression there may be differences but it's not completely clear. Can you confirm that it is or is very similar ? If not, do you still feel it would be a good choice or would you recommend another CDN $ traded ETF ?
Many thanks as always.

Q: If one wants to invest in the nuclear energy, which seems to have a bright future for the long term, which component stocks will see the most growth in terms of price appreciation. Would it be the builders who build the infrastructure (i.e nuclear plants) or the mineral (Uranium) or the mining companies. Is there any ETF which would encompass all these?

Q: Nuclear/ Uranium

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.

Q: Hello. What are the ETFs available to trade/cover the uranium and nuclear space? Any aside from URA, HURA, URNM, NLR and NUKZ?

Can you rank the top three and provide some commentary on each? Seems like NLR is winning the year to date performance race.

Thank you.

Q: I am underweight in Materials sector and if I want to add some Uranium exposure. Do you think it has good upside for the near term after the recent pullback? Do you think an ETF like URA is better rather than individual companies like CCO and NXE

Q: Many companies stand to benefit from the rise of nuclear energy. Is this a good time to invest (long term) in such companies? I am especially interested in the risk-reward profile of the following: Cameco(CCJ), Constellation Energy(CEG), Centrus Energy(LEU) and NexGen Energy(NEX). Are there others that you prefer (Canadian or U.S.)? Or do you believe an ETF focused on uranium/nuclear energy would be a better investment at this time? Thanks for your help. You provide a great service!

Q: I'm trying to understand why HURA has outperformed URA by almost 20% this year. Holdings like Cameco and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund that have moved alot seem to have relatively similar weightings in both funds. NAK Kazatomprom AO - GDR hasn't had as strong returns YTD and is actually overweighted in HURA vs. URA. I don't think the USD-CAD has had any major impacts on the returns this year. What am I missing?

Also I think Cameco has had exceptional returns in 2023 far outpacing the ETF, do you think the others will catch up over time?

Q: For exposure to expected growth in demand for nuclear power globally, would exposure to the etf for physical uranium be the smarter play, or best to go with a leading uranium producer such as Cameco? Or, other suggestion welcome.

Thank you

Q: 1)I'm interested in uranium, do you think I should wait or buy now? What do you think of URG?
I think you like CCO in Canada, what do you like in the US?

2) I was listening to someone on BNN suggest that in times like this in the past, the bottom of the market is only in when the last rate hike is announced? What do you think?
