About this episode

Andrew Weekley discusses the challenges and opportunities in the uranium industry amidst global volatility.

In this episode of Going Nuclear, Andrew Weekley of Smith Weekly Research joins the program to discuss the necessity of adaptation and capital preservation amidst heightening global volatility and geopolitical friction. Weekley details his current defensive posture of keeping "one foot out" of the market by maintaining high cash reserves, citing concerns over broad market manipulation and the impending risk of a significant correction. The conversation explores the structural challenges facing the uranium industry, specifically the severe lack of technical expertise and the logistical hurdles likely to delay anticipated greenfield production restarts. Finally, the episode highlights the importance of identifying company-specific value creators and explains why the team remains cautiously optimistic about the long-term outcomes for uranium, gold, and silver despite near-term market "chop".
