Donald & Friends have unfortunately thwarted my investment plan somewhat.... (for now)

Since I have just presented my entry and the topic, including the "missed" opportunity, is close to my heart, I will probably work through it right away.

To cut a long story short, when I started investing, I actually wanted to put everything into nuclear technology stocks, but when I started without thinking, some doubts caught up with me. Absolute newcomer to investing, everyone advises me to buy something else, the field is still relatively unexplored.

After I had made my first purchases $CCO (-0.58%) and $UEC (-7.26%) (at the current high at the time) I became humble for the first time, after a short time around -25%.

On the WL were $BWXT (+0.74%) and $LEU (-7.75%) (bought here briefly and thought we were massively overvalued at 60 euros 🤣)

Fast forward, I preferred to bet on stable stocks, including dividend payers, and deviated from my gut feeling, as it already seemed a bit risky.

The nuclear sector has done incredibly well, even I didn't expect that and somehow I don't see an end at the moment.

I had planned this month/beginning of next month to finally get into $NXE (-6.34%) and increased my position in $CCO (-0.58%) to around 70 euros after the small correction. So far everything seemed fine, we have fallen. I wanted to increase my Cameco position in the range of approx. 65-70 euros and also enter Nexgen.

After my small regrouping in the portfolio, there was enough money left over to enter Nexgen "in time" and I collected my first 100 shares on October 24. The next day (I should have been happy) I was shocked when Cameco shot up and the 80b$ deal was done.....

The joy of my first share with +100% is definitely there, but I would have liked to buy a lot more, as I see much more potential.

Now I'm currently thinking about how the market will realign itself, you read more and more about the sector, more and more people think uranium is great and apparently we're only now moving up again? But wasn't that also the case at the beginning of '24? Back then I bought blindly, and shortly afterwards the sell-off came. The shares were "overvalued" and still outperformed.

Where are we now? To be honest, I wanted to add to the stock before the deal and see what happens during/after the Nuclear Exhibition in Paris from 04-06 Nov happens.

Since the prices have already run away, possibly also due to profit-taking, I will probably wait until the situation calms down and the exhibition is over.

For me, however, nothing has changed in principle, I won't be selling any more shares in CCO/NXE but rather adding to them. I'm still super bullish and won't let myself be influenced too much.

Why is $CCO (-0.58%) an investment?

• Absolute blue chip in the nuclear sector with solid figures
• All-rounder - uranium is mined in its own high-yield mines and is also processed in a wide variety of ways
• Shareholder in Westinghouse (service; maintenance)
• Partnerships with Bruce Power & Nordion (Co-60 provision / Healthcare)
• Moat (regulations, expertise, etc.)

When talking about a renaissance, Cameco cannot and should not be excluded. There are many long-term contracts in this industry, the manufacturer/producer can virtually choose its customers and call up prices. If you don't get nuclear fuel in time, you can't supply energy (predictable income).

The push is becoming more and more real, which country apart from Germany is NOT talking about an extension of operating times and new builds?

In 2023, the nuclear phase-out in Spain was still unchallenged, and there are currently plans to extend the Almaraz NPP, for example $IBE (-0.31%)

The same is currently being discussed in the Netherlands; Borssele is to continue operating and also offer a site for new reactors.

In addition to Cameco, I have added Nexgen to my portfolio $NXE (-6.34%)

• Is in a good financial position (dilution will come)
• Has promising projects
• Management seems to know what is important
• Unfortunately only a pure uranium supplier, should it come to production
• (My thought, if it gets that far possibly interesting for a takeover see above)

I continue to find the sector super exciting and am looking forward to whatever may come, if prices remain high I will probably buy more anyway. Despite the "hype", I think there is still a lot of potential here, although the relatively high risk should also be kept in mind.

If something unforeseen happens here, the furnace can be out again immediately.

What do you think about this sector, do you think we are more than overvalued or is there still potential? I would be delighted to hear your thoughts on this.

Until then 🧐

PSA:

First of all, I have to say that I didn't really expect to join such a pleasant and profitable community - I actually just wanted to track my portfolio. Well, be that as it may, I'm really grateful to have landed here and a big thank you to everyone who actively shares knowledge, tips and simply their thoughts! Until now I've only ever been a silent reader, let's see if that changes now :)

For example, I always like to read where the different characters come from and how the introduction went, or generally just how the big picture was put together.

I'm probably from the absolutely financially uninterested side, and I've enjoyed rolling in consumption.

Banks - insurance companies - investments - GDP - ECB - I just want to withdraw money, maybe it's still a little way to the overdraft facility (what exactly does it do?) Anyway, you don't have to know everything.

Sometime in the mid-twenties - Another call from the local farmer's bank...

*ugh another annual consultation 😖 *

Well, I can come by on Thursday shortly before 1800, I already have a building society saver, financially it doesn't look bad now, you can earn a bit on the overdraft. But how about a fund, that gives a return and you can build up capital, better than our very below-average call money account.

No sooner said than done, we take the fund on offer and pay 150 euros a month into it, it'll be fine.

In fact, I let the whole thing run for a few years and when I finished the transfer I saw, oops, there are green numbers with + and my capital is growing.

I then stumbled across the Y-channels and soaked up information about ETFs, Bitcoin, neobrokers, what the TER is, dividends, etc.

Wait a minute, how much does my fund cost at Bauernbank? I can invest in an MSCI World for much less at Bank Y? That sounds much better!

So I open an account, move the money over and please invest in this MSCI World + EM... Savings plan set up and logged out.

Corona must be happening somewhere in between, everything is suddenly red? I'm at home due to long-term illness and have some time to do some research...

Early thirties - It's now the year 2024, the Corona thing is over, I've changed jobs, etc.

Everything is great and over the years the interest in finance, the stock market and everything that goes with it has grown enormously.

The fund and building society savings plan were liquidated (I could/should even have kept the building society savings plan with closure and possibly a later special payment, but that probably wouldn't have been a bad thing) EGAL I was clearly duped, get rid of it 😂

At the beginning of the year I was tempted by individual stocks, I don't know my way around, but a little entry into ETFs can't hurt, can it?

Of course, the classic way of choosing what to buy without premonition and preparation (due to the job and the current situation = emotions)

We buy Nukular shares, clearly there is a security here for approx. 44 euros $CCO (-0.58%) and it also looks good $UEC (-7.26%) doesn't look bad either, both fulfill my pattern (uranium). Absolutely bullish or what is that called again?

Puhhh would have, would be, if, the knowledge of today and so on 🤐

A custody account was opened at Bauernbank especially for this, my God there were still fees involved, but we're not reading that yet. The entry is done, let's see how the journey continues. I think the value was around 500 euros.

The next mission was coming up and I wanted to close my custody account at Bank Y with the ETFs and transfer everything to my first neobroker. More transactions, more capital flow and more individual securities are planned. Moreover, fewer costs are better, we are saving now.

This is where the first uncertainty came into play - but the transfer will take longer than expected? Is my money gone now? At that time, I think there was about 8k in the ETFs, which was a lot of money for me. But a few days later it was done, my securities were transferred, but the return of a few thousand % was nice to look at but not real.

Again uncertainty, discussions with the support of both banks, no real results and days and weeks passing by.

Absolutely irrational behavior, because it was really only cosmetic... Anyway, my monk then decided - I'll just sell my ETFs and then we'll start learning by doing. If you look at the transaction history in my portfolio, I think you know what I mean.

I have "informed" myself or looked at what I know, what I think I should or could buy and I have changed my mind very often, why not with the low order costs.

But I also have to say that I took this step rationally and I wanted to get in quickly and learn directly on the object, not with some demo depot or something else. Real losses = real learning curve, your trading will probably be punished or rewarded.

There's already a lot of text here, actually I've already told you how I ended up here. I have already made a few "mistakes" or "too quick" decisions, which probably everyone has experienced when I look back on them today and as is certainly evident from my purchases/sales. Up to this point there is nothing to recognize, no real analysis, who knows who is in management and do I really understand the whole thing?

The Novo $NOVO B (-1.05%) I rode the Novo FOMO train, I really wanted to have Chipotle $CMG (+0.07%) in my portfolio at the highest levels, I've turned over my savings plans umpteen times.... Somewhere I'm a Canada fan, so something like $CNR (+0.36%) of course not missing....

But I don't feel bad at all, my view of the current portfolio is actually pretty good. One or two of the right decisions were definitely made, and my interest in the subject is also steadily increasing. My impulse control is getting better and better and I think analyzing the market and the individual companies is becoming more valuable.

As I've already written a lot, I probably won't say much more about my portfolio, which I will share for now.

I've become a big fan of company presentations/reports and think it's great when people tell you why/why they invested in a particular company.

That's why I've actually planned to present my portfolio in more detail soon with the thoughts behind it.

If you look at the transactions, you will see that there are certain patterns and that everything looks a bit wild and without a plan (which is what it was at the beginning).

Briefly about the portfolio and the story behind it, I started at the beginning of 2024 with around 10k financial resources and wanted to create a "solid" portfolio as quickly as possible that would break the 50k mark. I never thought it could happen so quickly... Of course, a lot of it is self-generated and paid in, I hope that the portfolio can then also take over a large part.

Constructive criticism and discussion is welcome but not necessary, the VWRL should actually be expanded more with the TDIV, but I think individual stocks are great too.

I am definitely pursuing a long-term horizon and would like to hold on to good companies for a long time, preferably value + growth, reinvesting dividends now + a decent savings rate. However, I also see myself investing in more companies with growth in the future, as I have laid my "foundation stone".

So much for now, have a nice evening and best wishes to the community!

*Sorry for any mistakes, if any. I can't or don't want to work through everything again now, so😁* must suffice.

Savings plans are running - individual purchases are slowly being converted into cash :)

Am now at around 100% there

Reading time: approx. 6-7 minutes

A few weeks ago, I described the structural appreciation of the uranium market as part of the supercycle approach: Supply deficits, geopolitical upheavals and the political turnaround in favor of nuclear energy mark the beginning of a multi-year uptrend. Today, reality provides the next piece of evidence - and $CCO (-0.58%) (Cameco) is at the center of it.

Together with Westinghouse Electric and Brookfield Asset Management, the Canadian company is participating in a new $BAM (+1.46%) Brookfield Asset Management in a new 80 billion US dollar energy offensive by the US government. The aim is to massively expand nuclear power capacities in the United States. The initiative is more than just a political signal: it is seen as a turning point in industrial policy and is intended to cover the entire cycle of civilian nuclear energy - from uranium mining to fuel processing and reactor technology. Supported by state guarantees and tax incentives, it marks an attempt to reduce dependence on Russia and China in the global uranium market.

For Cameco, this represents a decisive step: the Group, previously one of the largest uranium producers in the world, is increasingly becoming a political and economic partner of the Western energy transition. The combination of technological expertise, access to first-class deposits and now also political backing gives the company a strategic role that goes beyond simply extracting raw materials.

For me, today's news underlines why uranium is currently one of the most exciting sectors for long-term investors. My own supercycle portfolio reflects this logic: a tiered exposure along the entire value chain - from producers to physical storage companies. Cameco forms the core, the foundation of the positioning. In addition, I rely on $YCA (-1.04%) (Yellow Cake) as a direct lever on the uranium price, as the company physically stores real stocks and thus offers pure price exposure. $NXE (-6.34%) (NexGen Energy) stands for the exploration growth portion: a developer that controls one of the most promising uranium deposits in the world with the Arrow project in Canada. $DML (-6.57%) (Denison Mines) contributes technological diversification - the focus is on the in-situ recovery method, which is intended to make uranium mining more efficient and environmentally friendly. Finally $PDN (-5.14%) (Paladin Energy) complements the geographic diversification with a strong production focus in Namibia - a leverage to the supply shortage outside North America.

Together, these five stocks form a balanced cluster of substance and dynamism. Cameco and Yellow Cake stand for stability, NexGen, Denison and Paladin for speculative momentum in the early cycle. It is precisely this mix that is characteristic of phases in which structural scarcity coincides with political tailwinds.

Today's US initiative fits into a bigger picture. Nuclear energy is making a comeback worldwide: France is extending operating times and planning new EPR plants, Japan is reactivating reactors, China is continuously expanding its network, while countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Finland are initiating their own projects for the first time. After decades of underinvestment, there is a massive surge in demand - and supply is barely growing. Cameco controls some of the most productive mines in the world and is benefiting directly from the structural deficit.

The current cycle is following a familiar pattern: first prices stabilize after a long bear market, then political programs and investment waves meet tight capacity. We are right in the middle of this acceleration phase. The momentum is not the result of short-term speculation, but of real bottlenecks and industrial policy realignment.

Of course, the environment is not without risks. After the strong performance of recent quarters, temporary consolidations are possible, and uranium prices are also sensitive to geopolitical shifts. Regulatory uncertainties regarding new projects could also delay schedules. But the overarching story remains intact: Nuclear power is back - and with it those companies that supply the fuel.

Cameco is at the forefront of a growing ecosystem that stretches from Canada to Australia and Namibia. Participation in the US's 80 billion offensive shows that uranium is no longer a marginal issue, but is seen as a security policy factor. Investing in this super cycle at an early stage means investing not only in energy, but also in geopolitical stability.

From time to time, there are movements on the markets that last longer than a normal upswing. This is known as a super cycle - a phase in which certain commodities or technologies are in demand for many years and their prices rise significantly. This is usually due to fundamental changes in the economy and society.

A well-known example is China in the 2000s. Rapid construction activity and industrialization led to raw materials such as iron ore or coal becoming increasingly expensive over the course of a decade. In this context, there is often talk of the "commodity supercycle", which was driven by the massive demand of Chinese construction and industrial policy. In recent years, this is how I perceive the technology sector in particular: cloud services, automation and artificial intelligence have caused demand for semiconductors to explode.

I currently have the impression that new super cycles could be on the horizon again. In the uranium sector in particular, it is noticeable that many countries are bringing nuclear energy more into play. This is already reflected in my own portfolio. I differentiate between core stocks and leverage stocks. The core stocks are my basic investments: $CCO (-0.58%) (Cameco) and $YCA (-1.04%) (Yellow Cake). Both are established, comparatively stable and form the foundation on which my uranium strategy rests. Leveraged stocks, on the other hand, are more speculative and react much more strongly to market movements. Here I am betting on planned positions in $NXE (-6.34%) (NexGen Energy), $DML (-6.57%) (Denison Mines) and $PDN (-5.14%) (Paladin Energy). I have currently set orders for these stocks, which will only be executed when the risk/reward ratio is right. This allows me to build up the positions in a controlled manner and keep the risk within limits.

Another example of a possible super cycle is the defense industry. Prices there have already risen sharply in recent years, driven by geopolitical tensions and rising defense spending. I personally missed this trend - but this is precisely the lesson: markets move in waves and anyone who misses a cycle should not look back, but forward. Because there are always new opportunities if you recognize the structural changes early on.

In addition to uranium, copper could also play a role again. The major producers in particular $FCX (-0.78%) (Freeport-McMoRan) and $SCCO (-0.31%) (Southern Copper) are particularly interesting if the global grid expansion and electrification actually trigger a new boom in demand.

I am interested: What's your take on this? Is a new super cycle emerging here, especially in the uranium sector - or is this more of a short wave? Which stocks do you think are exciting and what strategies are you pursuing yourself?

With $UUUU (-15.11%) . Has now become my best commodity stock. And that is by no means the end of the story. Compared to $CCO (-0.58%) , $UEC (-7.26%) they also have the advantage of producing rare earths in addition to uranium.

They are now up 150% since the end of June, i.e. 10 weeks. Such shares are what I look for in my strategy. I also like to hold them for longer.
