S&P stocks and ETFs like YINN and EDC for the last few years.. I completely missed the run in PMs earlier this year but I think we will have another buying opp there too soon enough.
Right now it's all eyes on the U sector though and I have to say it is looking very positive to me.. Cameco traded over 6 million in volume yesterday which is the highest day since Fukushima.. I consider that a very strong indication that this rally is not yet another false one but in fact the beginning of a genuine bull run.. I need say no more about the potentiall of that as many posters have been describing it here already.
When it comes to EFR the comparisons with "share price" during the run in 2007 / 2011 are somewhat misleading as the number that actually means something is the shares outstanding.. If I remember correctly EFR had an extremely low number of S/O back in those days.. I don't remember the exact numbers but my guess was around 20 mil so as a very rough estimate we could say maybe around 1/3 of the current S/O which means an equivalent SP of arount $65 in 2007 and $24 in 2011.. Mind you as others have pointed out EFR have made huge progress since those days too when they were really simply a small explorer with a lot of potential.
Of course it is understandable that longs here have been extremely frustrated and as a shareholder dilution is always a hard thing to swallow but from the point of view of investors looking for value in the U sector I have to say, to my mind at least, EFR stands out a mile as the one with by far the most attractive share structure and best upside leverage once a genuine bull run really kicks in.
And last but not least it does look as though the bull run of 2007 will look like a mole hill compared to the potential of the next few years.. so given all the pro's and con's, as I see it, EFR could well be a life changing investment for those with the stomach for it!
What is your opinion on the risk of further dilutions in 2017? Last year, the two market discount dilutions crashed the price TWICE (see the gaps in chart in March and September), just as we looked ready to run. It would be unwise not to expect another dilution this Spring, given the recent history. I would think, even if the Uranium bull starts, there will be much pressure/temptation for the company to do another discount offering, and another 20+ percent off sale for the public.
The Company today also filed for a renewal of the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada other than Quebec. This filing, when made final, will replace the Company's base shelf prospectus that expired earlier in May 2016 and will continue to enable the Company to offer in Canada an aggregate of up to US$100 million of common shares, preferred shares, warrants, subscription receipts, debt securities or units, over a 25-month period.
The Company has no immediate intent to issue securities as a result of this renewal filing. This renewal filing of the Company's existing short form base shelf prospectus maintains the Company's financial flexibility and provides efficient access to the Canadian capital markets when capital is required.
