It's not all just about the United States and our energy needs. There are 6 billion people on the planet and they all want refrigerators and color tv's and cars. At the same time, I like hearing an opposing view, it keeps me balanced...and I am a Libra. I just listened to the first hour of the Financial Sense Newshour with a roundtable discussion of the outlook for 2007 and included Frank Barbera, Joe Dancy, Bill Powers, Peter Schiff, James Turk and Jim Puplava.netcastdaily.com It was fascinating to hear their opinions on what we can expect in 2007, and what complicated scenarios they put forth! i.e., there'll be deflation if your money is in cash, but inflation if your money is in real estate. I'm paraphrasing here from memory, so please listen for yourself if you are interested. My point is that it's a very complicated financial situation out there right now with no simple answers. I've wondered for the past few months what would happen to our uranium stocks if there is a recession or if we moved into a bear on the stock market. The consensus on the show seemed to be that gold and commodities would do well in any case. None of them seemed to be very positive on the dollar or the Dow over the next year. I repeat, I only listened once, and so I'm hedging on exactly what was said. Anyway, I'm interested in other's opinions on this question. What will uranium stocks do if the broad market goes down or we have a recession or the dollar drops, or the fed cuts rates? Geez, now that I'm trying to frame my question, I am confusing myself! lol... I'm going to go ride my bike and listen again.
