I've been puzzled by the redemptions from the 2 Sprott #uranium ETF's the past few weeks, while URA has seen new units issued.

Perhaps some of their AP's liquidated a portion of their positions to participate in the $200M SPUT raise in late June. Mart sheds some light on this.

Was out on the water yesterday & didn't post, but today, although $URA did not report any changes in OS units, their holdings indicate they will tomorrow report about
1.2 MILLION NEW UNITS ISSUED!

$URNJ added a modest 20K new units

$URNM reported 90k untis redeemed

No changes reported at any of the #uranium ETF's I follow.

Looks like URNJ finished the last of their rebalancing last Thursday (Jul 3).

The tables below summarize the changes made.

There was an interesting fact disclosed by Justin Huhn... most of the massive redemptions at URA have been by JP Morgan and/or their clients. I've noticed that Sprott's ETF holders have been sticky.. table below summarizes this:

Long time coming, but nice to see Cameco breach the CAD$100 mark!! I recall sitting in my broker's office a few years back and him telling me it was going nowhere... sold it at CAD$14 for a CAD$20 loss.

Since striking out on my own, I bought a bunch at CAD$60 a while back...

go #uranium go!

Nice to see the West's #uranium bellwether stock (Cameco) seeing ATH's this week.

CCO: CA$99.31
CCJ: US$72.40

Last night no changes reported at URNM. URA - no changes in OS units, holdings indicate they will tonight report 200K units redeemed.

Big changes at URNJ. In addition to 30K new units being issued, they have started their rebalancing as shown in the attached tables. AEC is the big winner.

URNM finally reported their holdings today... no changes on holdings or OS units.... must have been busy buying #uranium for SPUT!!!

Nice to see some #uranium names making it onto the Globe and Mail's "Stock Movers" list this evening!

Will this catch the eye of investors in the morning??
June 17, 2025 at 5:55 AM
Well that didn't last very long did it?

No changes reported in OS units at any of the #uranium ETF's I follow. But it looks like the Sprott #uranium ETF's cashed in a few shares of a few of their winners.. to raise admin funds??
June 7, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Now that's a horse of a different colour!

URA for the first time since St Paddy's Day is green! They issued a modest 100K new units!

URNJ remained unchanged, but Sprott's big #uranium ETF (URNM) reported 60K units redeemed.

Have we turned the corner with URA reaching close to a 52 week high?
June 5, 2025 at 3:47 PM
So maybe some holders of #uranium ETF's ARE "selling in May to go away", as the last day of the month saw redemptions at all 3 #uranium ETFS I follow.

URNM down 120K units
URNJ down 90K units (first I'm a long time)
URA down 240K units & another 700K units will this evening be reported as redeemed.
June 2, 2025 at 4:06 PM
As @quakes99.bsky.social would say.... the #uranium stocks are on 🔥fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 this morning.

Double digit gains and massive volumes.

While the general market is drifting lower

Still on holiday in Spain where I'm not selling any #uranium shares! La Feria de Abril de Sevilla was a blast!

URA reported those 300K in redemptions last night but no changes in holdings.

No changes at either of the Sprott #uranium ETFs.

Steady as she goes! ....steady as a parade of horses!
May 9, 2025 at 7:18 AM
Bleeding continues at URA: 610K and 200K units reported redeemed Monday and yesterday & holdings indicate 650k units will be reported redeemed this evening.

Patient & smart investors at Sprott's #uranium ETF's (URNM and URNJ) are patiently awaiting the "big one".. no change in holdings or OS units.

Where I’m NOT selling my #uranium shares.

Enjoy your weekend.
April 19, 2025 at 12:17 AM
We will have to see on Monday... but it was a -2.3% drop in shares held across the board... not just here and there....

There has been a lot of bleeding from URA the past few weeks...

This is great illustration of the strength of the #uranium thesis.

URA tends to be popular amongst the generalist investor due to its liquidity, history etc. Tourists...

The newer, pure-play Sprott #uranium ETF's attract savvy resource investors who are more willing endure the volatility.

The Emperor has spoken.. more margin calls this morning... the #uranium tourists flee...

I will only start to think about panicking if I see large outflows from URNM.

I have been through this before in the 2004-2013 cycle.. and there wasn't a loose nut on the throne.

Let's await "the rotation"
April 4, 2025 at 3:14 PM
#uranium stocks were hit hard, but as the collective stock market's punching bag, we're used to it. The good news is that only the high profile #uranium names were hit hard and most of the other losers were traded on light volumes... unlike the Mag 7 who were traded heavily (2x vol) downward today.
April 3, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Mag7 being hammered!
We #uranium investors can consider ourselves lucky I guess?
April 3, 2025 at 7:54 PM
URA reported no changes in OS units last night, but holdings indicate 270K units will be reported this evening as redeemed - a pitfall of being the high profile #uranium investment vehicle for Joe Average.

But.. smart money knows
Sprott #uranium ETFs reported new units issued:
URNJ +70K
URNM +190K
April 3, 2025 at 7:50 PM
What a day!
With the general markets tanking, it's nice to see #uranium stocks are only down in light trading. I'm sure margin calls are coming in fast furious for those fools who are leveraged. Maybe this will flush the last of them out.

Some developments at the #uranium ETF's overnight though.
