Uranium Plays Continue To Explode Higher (URRE, URZ, UEC, STHJF)

Here's a quick questions, “What's the best performing metal miner this year, YTD, over the past 6-months, or over the past 3-months?” Perhaps a silver play like Silver Wheaton SLW may come to mind or a metallurgical coal miner like Cliffs Natural Resources CLF. In both cases you would be wrong. Over every single one of those time periods uranium producers have significantly outperformed. Take, for instance, Uranium Resources Inc. URRE, which is a $262 million market cap company. It has rallied 180% over the past 12-months, 268% this year, 498% over the past two quarters, and 406% over the past quarter. Very similar stories could be spun for Uranerz Energy Corp. URZ, uranium Energy Corp. UEC, Strathmore Minerals Corp. STHJF, and Denison Mines Corp. DNN. All of these companies have market caps less than $853 million, the lowest being STHJF, which has barely a $79.0 million market cap. Each stock has (At least) double over the past 6-months. URRE is currently higher by 4.59%, trading at $2.96. URZ is currently higher by 1.68%, trading at $3.63. UEC is currently higher by 0.33%, trading at $6.04. STHJF is currently higher by 6.43%, trading at $1.16. DNN is currently higher by 9.16%, trading at $2.74.
