The Future

If you were to pick one commodity per year to boom for the next five years, what would they be-

My picks are-
2008- OIL
2009- GAS
2010- GOLD
2011- URANIUM
2012- RARE EARTHS

Interested to hear your thoughts. I know it is a tough call limiting the choice to just one commodity per year but it does make you a focus a bit more.

Cheers

Yep makes sense, use up all the energy first then watch the proverbial s*** hit the fan. Might take a wee while to get through all that U though. Her comes nothing! mmm must go and make tea.

Wey hey I think we my have nailed 2008 lads. Might well be a close run thing between gold and Uranium in 2009 if oil carries on with this spurt, gas will naturally head higher with it.

Form the Taipan Daily newspaper today-

Uranium was once white-hot, but it’s so cold now you could use it to chill a six-pack of beer.

That seems to be changing, though. Just look at the action in the Market Vectors Global Nuclear Energy ETF (NLR).

This ETF tracks a basket of 38 companies from around the world that are engaged in nuclear plant infrastructure, uranium mining, uranium enrichment, uranium storage, nuclear generation, nuclear equipment and nuclear fuel transportation -- stocks like Areva, Cameco, Hitachi and more.

What’s driving the nuclear sector higher? Fueling this move is a pair of recent reports from Merrill Lynch and MacQuarie. Both reports were bullish, and they seemed to reignite investor interest.

The spot uranium price is now $60 a pound, while the long-term contract price is around $90. It’s likely this disconnect will change, probably by the spot price rising.

There are 433 nuclear plants in operation worldwide, 33 under construction, 91 in advanced planning stages, and over 200 proposed.

According to the World Nuclear Association, China alone will build 35 reactors in the next 10 years, and has 86 more on the drawing boards. This would raise its nuclear electricity producing capacity by 300%!
