Natural resource bubbles in a stock market

Happen every year. End of 2004 created a huge oil bubble. This is driven by a large-scale investor interest in a certain commodity. You could see oil bubble somewhat tanking nowadays, only leaving real winners like CLL and UTS, and driving even optimistic companies like MIG and QEC downwards. The recent uptrend in Moly prices made me choose UNB as the next company to invest in. I could see Moly bubble forming in the future, but that did not happen yet. I would look closely at AUA for signs of the forming Moly bubble. Also, keep in mind, there is not as much competition as with oil, so the bubble will expand at a much rapid pace. You could take recent UNB growth as a positive in an environment where other Moly stocks have not moved up yet. If AUA starts to move, that will resonate the interest in Moly across the exchange, and UNB will have additional afterburners as a bonus. I have a feeling, if Moly prices hold, and they most likely will, we could see the onset of the Moly bubble in the spring of 2006. Around that time, possibly, it would be a good time to flip your UNB shares for AUA - maximizing your profit.

UNB for AUA flip at the right time is a pure Moly play. UNB shows a lot of promise, and am almost convinced this stock is 3 or 4 banger from here to the summer. I would have to reassess in the Spring when financials showing the profit from production are released. AUA is on my watch list too - as a possible 5 banger given Moly price holds - but it will not move till Spring or Summer of 2006.

I'm not parting with UNB anytime soon. This is just the beginning. As mentioned, they will have Chong as well as hopefully oil and gas revenue come onstream. And who knows what else they will accumulate with all their revenue in the meantime? Like it was emphasized, they have great management and that makes all the difference in the world. Great management plus revenue to make moves means ...more

Sorry Sevster, I have to disagree...At that time the Chong @ 10x the Mo would just be readying for production and HUGE HIGH GRADE profit$. UNB would rocket on those kind of $$$$'s hitting its treasury. No need for AUA. No production till LATE '07 or early '08 per their website. I'd never sell a producer who's revenue is increasing exponentially for a dream. Maybe if ...more
