Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

Uranium Goes Nuclear, with yellow cake prices up 45% since May. Before the Ukraine war, the Russians produced 50% of the world’s nuclear fuel. Now, it is banned due to sanctions. The US has announced the creation of a nuclear fuel stockpile. Congress is about to vote on a ban on Russian fuel. France just announced the addition of 14 large nuclear plants. Oh, and it’s green. I used to collect uranium glass.
So, it’s time to buy uranium Cameco (CCJ) ….again.
I am therefore buying the Cameco (CCJ) February 2024 $38-$41 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $2.50 or best.
Don’t pay more than $2.75 or you’ll be chasing.
If you don’t do options, buy the stock. My target for (CCJ) in 2024 is $80, up 70%.
Cameco Corporation (formerly Canadian Mining and Energy Corporation) is the world's largest publicly traded uranium company, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2022, it was the world's second largest uranium producer, accounting for 11.61% of world production.
My hedge fund buddies are piling into this stock because the nuclear renaissance is just getting started. The electrification of our energy sources is creating immense demand for new electric power sources. China alone plans to build 100 new nuclear power plants putting new upward pressure on fuel supplies.
Nuclear power is also viewed as a backup for new alternative sources for the days when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t blow. Western countries also need to replace Russian supplies of uranium in compliance with sanctions.
Cameco is one of the largest global providers of uranium fuel. Utilities around the world rely on its products to generate safe, reliable, emissions-free nuclear power. The company is meeting the ever-increasing demand for clean, baseload electricity while delivering energy solutions to support the world's net-zero goals. It doesn’t need wind now the sun to generate nuclear power.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
