Investors who purchased during the height of the commodities boom are feeling the squeeze. Panic and self-reproach won't improve your situation. Here’s how to weather the market shakeout effectively:
1. Take a Break: If you believe in your investment choices, step back. Turn off your computer and engage in something enjoyable, like exercise. It's a great way to relieve stress. If you’ve held on through the downturn, there may be opportunities to buy at lower prices. Experts predict a rally between late July and Labor Day. Even uranium authority James Dines advised holding off until the market settles.
2. Check Fundamentals: Do the foundations of the commodities boom still hold? If they do, the bullish phase might just be pausing. Key drivers like Russia’s nuclear ambitions, China's ongoing expansion, and India’s $40 billion nuclear investment remain intact. Spot uranium prices even rose to $45/pound recently, signaling the bull market isn't over.
3. Focus on Fundamentals: If you're anxious about specific stocks, avoid obsessing over the ticker. Instead, evaluate the company’s fundamentals. Has the core story changed?
4. Consider Contrarian Buying: There's a saying: buy when you feel like selling everything. When you’re tempted to dump uranium stocks, it might be wiser to increase your holdings. Professionals often sell at peaks and buy during downturns.
5. Look for Major Events: Significant events can halt bull cycles. The uranium market’s past cycle ended with Three Mile Island, and the precious metals rally collapsed due to the Bre-X fraud. Major, newsworthy events can trigger market shifts.
6. Think Before Selling: Ask yourself: Do you really want to let go of your shares at a discount, potentially benefiting someone else from your losses?
7. Assess Company Strengths During Shakeouts:
- Cash Reserves: Companies with ample cash from recent financings are well-positioned to weather downturns and thrive during recoveries. These are the resilient ones to consider when the market looks bleak.
- Stable Management: If leadership hasn't changed, the company likely remains strong. Solid management teams are adaptable and robust.
- Resource Stability: Ensure the company's resource claims hold. If no announcements contradict their previous assessments, your investment’s basis hasn't evaporated.
Lastly, remember the wise adage: "When did Noah build his ark? Before it started to rain." Prepare before the storm hits next time.
