Apologies for the hiatus

ByRod Adams

Shane and I have missed you all the last couple of weeks. One week it was illness – it is hard to do an audio show with laryngitis – and then this week we had an operator error by the show’s producer – me.

We had a great chat about uranium and the hazards of investing in uranium as a commodity. We even chatted a bit about the fact that we were coming up to our one year anniversary on The Podcast Network. I was really pleased until I started doing my quality control check and realized that I had managed to record just half of the conversation.

I never bothered to verify my setup for WireTap Pro. That program is great and offers the ability to record from a microphone, from the MAC’s internal audio, or from both. If you have it set to record MAC audio, it obeys and DOES NOT record the operator’s voice.

Mea culpa. Come back this week and we will definitely have a show for you. In fact, I might try to put something together before our normal Tuesday show – today is the second day of our second year as podcasters.

  1. WHat are the hazards to investing in uranium mining? I’d really like to know.

    thanks,

    Larry

  2. Larry – I hope that we answered your question with our discussion on Atomic Show 51. The key points are that uranium prices historically experience wide fluctuations and right now they have had a very long run up without any pause.

    Uranium is a common element and not hard to find. High prices and available, untapped materials are a prescription for large new investments, rapid increases in supply and a price collapse as supply exceeds demand.

    Disclaimer – I am not an investment advisor, just a guy who can spot patterns and reads a lot of history.
