Here Are A Couple of Uranium Play Stocks




I had talked a couple of days ago about the serious potential for nuclear power world-wide and how we can capture this trend.

I have found a couple of very strong companies that should fare very in this current uranium environment.

USEC Corporation (USU) - is a leading supplier of enriched uranium fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. USEC operates the only uranium enrichment facility in the United States and supplies more than half of the U.S. market and more than a quarter of the world market. Annual revenues are about $1.6 billion.

BHP Billiton Plc (BHP) - BHP Billiton Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in mining, drilling, and processing mineral resources. It operates through seven segments: Petroleum, Aluminium, Base Metals, Carbon Steel Materials, Diamonds and Specialty Products, Energy Coal, and Stainless Steel Materials. The Base Metals segment engages in the exploration for and mining, processing, and marketing of copper, silver, zinc, lead, uranium, and copper by-products, including gold.

BHP is quite a bit more diversified than USEC Corp. With this in mind, an investment in both would be the prudent course.
