Uranium Spot Price continues to climb as it nears $35 / pound. This is in part thanks to the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT) which continues to act more more like SPUTnik – taking pounds off the market at rocket speed. We are doing our part by purchasing more Energy Fuels ($UUUU) and Denison Mines ($DNN) -mostly in the form of Bull Calendar Spreads. Earth below us…. drifting, falling…. floating weightless. To the moon, diamond hands.
Daily Boost 08.30.2021 Just Another Day
Mondays aren’t half bad when you write covered calls – they are more than just another day. They are a just another profitable day.
Today we wrote bull calendar spreads with the October / December paper on Energy Fuels ($UUUU). We also wrote some bull calendar spreads with the weeklies on Riot Blockchain ($RIOT) and Innovio Pharmaceuticals ($INO). We picked up a few $DNN and would love to see our bids get filled at $0.10 for the October $1.50 paper there.
Daily Boost 08.28.2021 Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough… Inflation
The year was 1979, Michael Jackson was climbing the charts with hits like “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” and interest rates were climbing as well to as high as 11.2%. We haven’t seen that kind of inflation for decades… until recently. I was listening to a podcast with Jonathan Davis (shown here below) where he talked about a new era of rising rates. I tend to agree. We started the first leg up, we are pausing and now heading back up again.
As for our positions, we got called away on Riot Blockchain ($RIOT) and Innovio Pharmaceuticals ($INO) this week. We will get called away on Transocean LTD ($RIG) next Friday. These positions are starting to move, so we will give them room to run with deep out of the money calls and options on the flipside as they do.

Elon pumps crypto, uranium remains nuclear.
Elon Musk sent crypto soaring today with his announcement that Tesla bought $1.5 billion in bitcoin. Also, uranium continues to catch a bid with stocks trending much higher today on the back of gains on Friday.
Our crypto kinetic rocket Canaan ($CAN) was up big today, along with our uranium kinetic rockets Energy Fuels ($UUUU) and Denison Mines ($DNN).
Finally, Denison did announce some ramp-up of its Wheeler River evaluation plans today here.
Energy Fuels had a day.
Was it the Uranium? Was it the Vanadium? Was it the Rare Earth Elements? We don’t know exactly, but what a day for Energy Fuels. Things seem to be looking up for this provider of elements needed to power the 21st century. Perhaps thats why it is our largest kinetic rocket.
Welcome Sandstorm.
Sandstorm Gold is a gold royalty company that we have liked for quite some time. We have been hesitant to take a position recently because of the stock’s impressive run up. However, now that the stock price has pulled back to the low $6 range we are jumping in. Sandstorm Gold is our newest kinetic rocket.
I read recently that gold royalty companies perform well later in gold bull markets compared to the miners. When gold rises in a bull market, so does the price of other commodities that are required to mine gold – such as oil. The differentiator for a royalty company vs a miner is that their costs are fixed and not variable – since their per ounce price is set when negotiating the royalty. So, when commodity prices increase, royalty company margins are protected.
We are excited to have Sandstorm as a new addition to our kinetic rocket portfolio.
Canaan feel the noise.
Crypto is surging today as Bitcoin has risen to $38,176. Our favorite way to play the crypto market is with Canaan, Inc. ($CAN) – a maker of super computers like the AvalonMiner 1246. Canaan, Inc. is one of our new kinetic rockets because from Bitcoin to Dogecoin they all need to be mined and what better way to do it than with a supercomputer.
