If you can’t do options, buy the stock. Saskatchewan, Canada-based (CCJ) is the world’s second largest uranium producer, accounting for 18% of the total world supply.

After being bearish in uranium plays for the last 11 years, since the 2011 Fukushima disaster, I am turning bullish on uranium plays.

The need for Germany to slow its own shutdown of its nuclear industry is overwhelming, as they have to replace Russian gas imports asap, which accounts for 50% of its total electricity supply.

In addition, as climate change and clean energy gain momentum, there is a new push toward nuclear power as a non-carbon energy source.

China is still going pedal to the medal, with 100 new nuclear power plants under construction.

The world’s largest uranium producer is in Kazakhstan, Kazatomprom, with 28% of global production, so you can forget about that.

Today’s selloff was triggered by cautious forecasts that yellow cake demand in China, the world’s largest copper consumer, is fading. This is due to the Shanghai covid lockdown, which is temporary at best.

Yellow cake is the refined concentrate powder form of U3O8 (triuranium octoxide) used by nuclear power plants.

Therefore, I am buying the Cameco (CCJ) May $20-$23 vertical BULL CALL spread at $2.40 or best.

Don’t pay for than $2.65 or you will be chasing.

This trade also has the benefit in that you have massive support on the charts at the 200-day moving average at $22.89.

This is a bet that the (CCJ) will not fall below $23.00 by the May 20 options expiration in 17 trading days.

If you are looking for other uranium plays, please look at the Global X Uranium ETF (URA) and the Van Eck Vectors Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF (NLR).

The best execution can behad by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.

Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
