If you want blunt, honest and non-promotional insight into the uranium market and investing, you must listen to the three advanced uranium developers. All three have their assets in Africa which they argue will be the next new projects that get into production. We discuss defensive strategies in recessions and the ASX tax loss season behaviours. And how much does the zero emissions and zero carbon narrative change investors attitudes to nuclear and uranium? And in that context should uranium investors and CEOs be concerned?
