The Uranium sector as a whole has been quite hot for the past couple months and our favorite size of stocks, juniors, have been performing very nicely, with many posting triple digit returns.
However, instead of chasing the hottest stocks, I am looking for companies in the right resource sectors (such as uranium) that are lagging.
Most small cap resource stocks, due to their speculative nature, go in cycles. That is, they go up and then they come down. Therefore, to profit the most and on the most consistent basis, it is preferable to buy small cap resource stocks after they have fallen from their highs and are either flat lining or beginning a new upward trend.
Then after you have made some decent profits (you decide what you want), cash in your profits because there is a very high chance that the stock will come down after a while.
So in summary, try obey the ever lasting principle of "buy low, sell high".
Before I conclude this posting, keep in mind that patience is very important. It can sometimes take weeks or even months for your stock to bounce from its range. Stick with it for a while and you will often be rewarded. If you cut too fast and start to chase the fastest moving stocks at the moment you will undoubtedly get caught on the downfall of most of these because they drop as fast or even faster than they rise.
Good luck in the new year!
