\>I am keeping an eye on whales when they start buying into uranium and nuclear. This is exactly what has been happening in the last month though. Uranium hit an all time high like 2 or 3 weeks ago. I also hold a bit or NLR, and URNM, then directly hold OKLO, NNE, LEU I think that's about it.
They will recover when NLR sector starts getting attention. I am keeping an eye on whales when they start buying into uranium and nuclear.
Money leaving Mag 7 for AI infrastructure building. My latest buys were CAT, APLD, AMAT. See also energy like GEV, NLR. Already loaded with LRCX, MU, SNDK.
I'm mostly in nuclear engineering/nuclear energy, URNM and NLR etfs, then dabbles in quantum computing and space stocks. Today is rough but I think I only wiped out a month of my profits. The worst performer has been quantum computing but that also has been one of the biggest winners in the past year. I'm not really stressed holding these because I know things turn bullish very quick. Only retail is selling at this point.
Lost my ass on SLVR, COPX & NLR
I’m 19 and I’m starting to invest. What do you think of my portfolio?- VTI 40% VXUS 20% NLR 10% SOXQ 10% WMT 7% PM 7% RYCEY 6%
Thanks! NLR not feelin to good today went from up 20% to up 2% over the weekend lol
A fifth of your nut in NLR. Not a call I would make, but a bold choice. Hope it doesn't disappoint! Would love to see how each performs this time next year. Unless you are holding the BND as an emergency fund, that is one I would ditch as it is anchoring you with only 4.1% returns. Good luck with your goals.
Big picture, it’s not crazy, but there’s a lot of overlap and a couple of odd weightings. VTI and SPY overlap heavily. You’re basically doubling down on US large caps without really meaning to. If you want total US, VTI already does that. SPY on top doesn’t add much except concentration. NLR at 18% is pretty aggressive. Nothing wrong with having a thematic bet, but almost a fifth of the portfolio in one niche sector is a lot, especially for money you might need for a house or wedding. That’s the piece that makes this feel riskier than it looks on paper. BND makes sense if your timeline is shorter, but if those big purchases are still several years out, you might be dampening growth more than you need to at 27. Same with IAU, it’s fine as a hedge, just don’t expect it to move the needle much at 4%. If it were me, I’d simplify. Pick VTI or SPY, not both. Keep VXUS for diversification. Decide whether NLR is a conviction play or just an idea, and size it accordingly. The cleaner the portfolio, the easier it is to stick with when markets get rough. Overall it’s not reckless, just a bit cluttered and slightly concentrated in places that don’t line up perfectly with your stated goals.
I was going to start building a position in NLR instead of more into UUUU for a bit broader exposure.
NLR, URA, copper (GRUPO MÉXICO, PEÑOLES)
My concern is getting doxxed. I think there's metadata that's left behind. When I share the Google website it feeds from a Google sheet. I have to sort it for you every morning, which I do anyway around 4:00 a.m.. Anyways, it's obvious the same stocks are firing off the last 6 months $NLR ETF (even with Constellation Energy getting crushed) $GMET (low liquid though bid/ask issues) green metals $ICOP / Gold $DAPP and $NODE (node crypto) $SMH of course but not so hot. I missed GEV. Does anybody think GED is just overpriced? I freaking love that stock. $Crdo is my stock since 2023. It's the biggest winner of my life. Bought it at 33. Sold it at 2:03. Swing the hell out of it. Don't mind to wash the risk.
3 fund portfolio is US, Intl, and bonds. Just because you picked 3 funds doesn't make it a 3 fund portfolio. If you want to overweight with QQQM or NLR then do whatever you want, but you should stick to a good base. Recommend VT instead of VOO then whatever else you want to do is up to you.
I think you’d likely do better with VTI and AVUV if you want US market exposure. The largest U.S. companies will have true most international exposure and while you do want access to those, I’m not sure you only want access to those. I like NLR for what it is as a tactical part of a portfolio, but keep it a low percentage of your overall portfolio (under 5%). If you want to also have a tech tactical sleeve for QQQ, you should keep it under 10% of your portfolio and rebalance annually. Keep in mind these companies doing business in USD so you expose yourself to currency risk at a time when USD has been falling.
NLR's expense ratio is brutal at 0.7% but honestly if you're young and believe in the thesis it might be worth the premium URAN is definitely cleaner from a cost perspective but way smaller AUM so just keep that liquidity risk in mind
VOO will make this subreddit very happy. Minimal international exposure will need to be addressed. NLR is supported by your thesis. However. It holds a very high Expense Ratio, and about half those companies aren’t profitable. Just selling promises. If you wanted to do a thematic ETF for it, you could do URAN. It’s smaller but its Expense Ratio is about half as much.
NLR is good, URA is maybe better for pure play nuclear because there aren’t utilities in it
Yes, good comment. Vaneck has several good ones actually NLR , REMX, tons are good ones. I like them alot. Sometimes I just track Vaneck ETFs and pick a stock for a trade.
Consider going with SP500 for the other 30% since you’re going so heavy on semiconductors. I am doing something similar in my Roth and taxable BTW but huge majority of my net worth is in 401k invested in SP500 so like you I’m okay with the volatility. I couldn’t pick between quite a few similar ETFs so I split weights like this: QQQM/VGT (50%), SMH/SHMH (35%), NLR/URA (5%), BTC/ETH/XRP (10%)
just bought NLR. Hopefully it goes well.
Long-term bullish on nuclear, but selective here. The theme makes sense (AI/data centers, grid reliability), yet a lot of SMR names feel priced for perfection. I prefer diversified exposure (NLR) and will trade the single names tactically rather than marry them. Great decade-long story, choppy near-term. The ETF appears to be in a consolidation phase following a significant uptrend over the past 6 months. This pattern, resembling a potential flat base, suggests that after a period of profit-taking or indecision, the asset could resume its upward trajectory. The price has been fluctuating within a defined range, indicating a battle between buyers and sellers. A breakout above the resistance level, as per ChartScanner.AI analysis, would confirm the continuation of the bullish trend. Traders should anticipate a potential re-acceleration of the prior uptrend if the consolidation resolves to the upside.
The fundamentals have indeed changed. In the past, nuclear energy was a cold palace that no one wanted, but now it is fragrant. But don‘t forget that there is a cycle between the price of uranium and the electricity price agreement. If the growth rate of AI demand slows down by the end of 2026, these high-level single tickets will be withdrawn by 30%. Now chasing NLR belongs to the high-level guard after receiving the flying knife
I'm torn between NLR and NUKZ.
I'm in NLR as well. Been good to me this year
I have like 3% of my portfolio in NLR. Holding for 30 years
I added a chunk of RYCEY (Rolls Royce, not the car company) because they have the absolute best chance at success in the Small Modular Reactor field. NLR has definitely treated me well too.
What made you go with NLR over URA?
I’ll have to do some research on NLR. Bubblelicious is right
NLR long term. Some single names are looking bubbleliciois
I like NLR because its a little broader in Utilities and slightly lower expense ratio, but URA is solid.
$NLR is up 50 over the year. Boosted after significant deals with amazon, google, etc and many of the ETF holdings
Its whole nuclear sector. NLR, OKLO, SMR
I’ve been playing the $NLR and chill game since ai got started and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.
In my brokerage account I would say NLR, SMH, and Coreweave. My Roth in a brokerage has WELL, JEPI, and JEPQ.
Damn NLR +7% ytd not bad for an etf
2025 Recap: Silver +139%, Critical Minerals +86%, Space +65%, Gold +61%, Semi +47%, Nuclear +47%, AI +44%, Quantum +33% Percentages are based on these tickers: * **SLV**: iShares Silver Trust * **SETM**: Sprott Critical Materials ETF * **UFO**: Procure Space ETF * **GLD**: SPDR Gold Trust * **CHAT**: Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF * **SMH**: VanEck Semiconductor ETF * **NLR**: VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF * **QTUM**: Defiance Quantum ETF
Ok, yeah I guess I must have seen that one before but kinda forgot about it, thanks. Very similar to ICLN which I don't own either. Just wish an ETF came out that was a thematic like "Future Energy" - then it could capture wind, solar, nuclear, and all the industrials associated with sort of the next wave of energy infrastructure - a bit late anyway - but something like the best of ICLN, FRNW, IFRA and NLR, which obviously would try to tie into the AI datacenter tailwind.
Any thoughts on NLR and Joby?
I invested in NLR etf and also buy stock in the company I work for. Just a hunch, but I believe nuclear will be fundamental to the AI and quantum computing industries especially if the US is going to be competitive regardless of politics.
NLR or URA. That's about all you need. GRID if you want something for energy outside of the nuclear-specific niche.
Big nuclear fan, I gave up finding the right one after a while and did NLR URA URNM three way split. Been working pretty well so far
NLR scared the shit out of me lol
If we're talking about VOO and other 0.0-something percentage ETFs, sure. The likes of SMH, USD, GRID, NLR, SHLD, etc., which are quite common, charge decent fees.
27% - mostly driven by Palantir, Nvidia, and NLR.
I don’t know. Everyone is saying it’s a bad strategy, but I tried this strategy recently and it worked out really well. I bought SLV, NBIS, RKLB, PL, ASTS earlier this week and just sold half my positions on them… made a few thousand. The idea was to choose stocks that are either running up (SLV) or are sort of “meme” stocks (in the sense that they are mentioned frequently on here). I also bought positions on GME, RYCEY and NLR and they are all doing decently well, floating about 3% above the price I bought them for. Is it just luck?
NLR is nice and much less volume risk but I like URANs exposure to more grid infrastructure plays
Thanks, they're shares so it will be ok eventually NBIS IREN ORCL NBIS NVDA NLR All i have is some whack tequila that my wife uses for margs
2026 strategy: all in on tech/AI + hedge with crypto. I’m in my growth phase, have a longer timeline but behind on investments so I’m intentionally not diversifying yet. 401k and taxable brokerage will be equal priority and I plan to max out backdoor roth IRA ultimately contributing 30% of gross income including employer match. 401k will be all S&P. Taxable & Roth IRA will be QQQM (45%), SMH & SMHX (40%), NLR/URA (5%), BTC/ETH/XRP (10%). I’m preparing myself for a volatile year.
Probably nothing new. Buying dips on core positions. Good chunk of a gold ETF. Probably more NLR and IBIT if they dip further. Steady contributions to VOO and SCHD. Past few years have been mostly amazing on individual stocks but trying to get more conservative with my investments.
CNVS: $50M market cap and, presumably, releasing Terrifier 4 next year which could gross $100M. Also have some other movies coming out soon like silent night deadly night, return to silent hill, and air bud. FUBO: Seems like an easy one given Disney stake. NLR: Already up big recently - but I like anything similar to this. MP: Seems pretty well protected from failure with long term contracts galore. In the vein of - get in when you can and don't sell for at least 5 years.
Natural gas short term: Exxon or UNG Nuclear long term: ETFs like URAN or NLR
Here's another old man IRA gift. Again, you're not gonna get rich quick on this. Just buy, add, and keep. Nuclear materials ETF...NLR. Constant, consistent (with annual dividend.) You're welcome
Just buy sandp and I satisfy my will to gamble by allocating 5-7% of my portfolio to volitile ETFs/stocks. NLR uranium has done great for me the past 2 years up like 85%
I’d continue to DCA into my usual ETFS and crypto (QQQM 50%, SMHX 35%, URA/NLR 5%, BTC/ETH/XRP 10%). For context, I’m less than 1 year into investing with a 20-30 year horizon so not a lot of money right now. Very heavily weighted in tech & AI so all the bubble talk is making my tummy bubble, but I have an emergency fund so I am sticking with the plan and mentally preparing for up to 80% drop like 2008. If there’s a crash, I’ll buy more of the same. Not planning on diversifying until portfolio value is ~$100k (which is a fairly arbitrary number based on 1 years’ expenses/what I consider a lot of money). Who knows what the future holds, but I also plan on never selling anything ever — if all goes to hell and I need more money than I have access to otherwise, I’ll take up to 25% of portfolio value out on margin loan. Fingers crossed.
NLR CRWV NBIS ORCL (I too was skeptical of OpenAI deal but this is overblown) IREN LITE
I would put 50% in a high yield savings account so its totally safe from market conditions and maybe 100K into gold or crypto and the remaining 100K into ETFs(exchange traded funds) like UEC, NLR, UUUU OR VOOG. There may be a market crash coming though its been on a crazy bull run since March so be careful
75% VOO 10% NLR 10% FSELX 5% cash Off my noggin lol, I'm sure there are better but this would slap.
Yes, nuclear will grow in the near future, so my money is on NLR, CEG and CCJ. I like the idea of small-medium reactors but unfortunately there is currently no company have a working reactor and it is rumored that they are not much cheaper than regular nuclear reactors at the moment.
NLR is a great one at the moment.
I created a portfolio that’s strictly energy based on the dub Creators app (copy trading), and it’s up ~67% since its inception in April of this year. The big gains the last few months have came from Nuclear related stocks (OKLO, SMR, CEG, NLR). Though they’re volatile, they’ve been a great move recently. The portfolio is called #ENRGMIX if you’d like to check it out!
Agreed. I’ve traded small positions in most of them to try and stay up to date. I know it’s not going to be a 10-bagger but decided just to hold some NLR instead of trying to pick one.
Next week I’m dumping half the port and reloading on year end 2026 GOOG, NVDA, NBIS, SMR, and UNH calls. Maybe some SOXL or NLR calls if I’m feeling spicey
SMH, NLR would be my recommendation but not what I would do. Instead, I look at top 10 holdings of ETFs i believe in and only buy their top 3-7 holdings. My return year to date is triple S&P. I'm looking at drone stocks and nuclear power lately.
I been DCA in NLR the uranium ETF and am up 80% since beginning mid 2024
Bro i can assure you that you are in fact retarded, even somebody with downs can male money in a bull market. Cash out bro and put the Money into safer investments like UEC, SMR, NLR or SOXL if you cant stop doing leverage plays. Youre strategy of extreme leverage will get you destroyed if we go into a correction, sell bro before you lose it all
Youre taking descriptive statistics and making inferences you ought not to. On average, people cant beat the indexes for 10 years. How strong is that evidence? Indexes have only existed for like 50 years. Is that enough time to say its hopeless to try and beat them? Also, just because most people havent beaten them in the past 50 yrs, is this past 50 years a good sample of our entire economic history? In short, we try because alot of us are successful. And although index and chill is a great philosophy that can really optimize passive investing for alot of people, the boggleheads have become a little culty and you shouldn’t mistake their arrogance for confidence or intelligence. I’ve been destroying the S&P 500 for 3 years now. Even if that doesn’t last, this was 3 of 6 total years that I will be eligible to contribute to a roth IRA without any backdoor maneuvering. Thats $20,500 contributed. If I had DCAd with $VOO every month the past 3 years, I would have gained 37%, for a total value of $29000. Not bad at all. Im sitting at $80K in my roth right now. I didn’t even do anything that crazy. I bought NVDA, AMD, MU, SOFI, NLR in roughly equal parts, and instead of DCA, I made lump sum purchases only after 4 consecutive red days.
I started buying stocks at 16 with around $400. I said buying stocks, not trading stocks on purpose. I’ve been steadily buying this entire time and I very rarely sell anything so I don’t call it trading stocks. I’m accumulating stocks. The game isn’t to buy and sell unless you have a ridiculous amount of money and a team of tax people to help you get your taxes right. The game isn’t to buy. Keep buying. Buy some more. Then maybe buy more. Then sit on it. Just sit and wait. Buy stable, profitable companies with great leadership or buy ETF’s. I tend to buy ETF’s that are broad and then occasionally I’ll buy something like NLR because it’s a good market coverage stock in an area of the business world that I see a ton of growth in for the foreseeable future. So in summary. Don’t day trade. That’s how people lose money. Buy stocks. Keep buying stocks. Then sit on it. Don’t pay attention to the doomsday people, don’t freak out when the market dips. Just keep buying and sitting on it. When you’ve been doing it for almost 30 years like me you’ll look at your account and be pleasantly surprised at how much you’ve accumulated.
If you ain’t holding NLR you ain’t gay
Guess I’ll stop talking shit about gold NBIS NLR UNG AMZN
Oh yes I forgot to do that - well it’s my first time investing in gold so I was just dipping my toes in the water. I read that central banks starting buying gold at an accelerated pace in November 2024 so I’m starting w 1%, which is about 15k so I’m happy with that for now. I also started some investments in bitcoin (BTC - 10k), silver (SLV - 5k), uranium (NLR - 5k) and ethirium (ETH - 5k). I’m happy with these initial investments but one never knows if there’s a bubble. I plan to add to these positions at similar dollar values in January of every year, for the next 5 years, and then I’ll retire and my portfolio should be around 10% alternative assets. That’s my plan anyway. Thanks for asking!
Been holding the NLR etf because it's so hard to predict the next one to pop
NLR for etf UUUU UEC OKLO NNE
Oh fuck yeah I'll throw in on that, wonder if it will get added to NLR
I like the etfs ILIT NLR, these companies are like moles randomly popping off. Got tired of trying to catch every rocket after takeoff
$NLR, $VOO, $VTI, high yield savings… diversification.
I do the same, but with longer expiration calls (9-15 months). What else are you betting on with this strategy? I have; Intel, crispr, NLR, Qualcomm
I have all these ETFs and they've performed very well for me. Vaneck GMET (copper, lithium, rare earths, etc.), Vaneck NLR (nuclear infrastructure and uranium mines) Vaneck GDX (gold mines).
“For some reason” lol my friend sit back, read, educate yourself, come up with a plan, and stick to it. Personally I’ve been moving towards ~40% total world equities (VT), 15% gold (GLDM), 15% bitcoin, and the rest split between some single plays like NLR (nuclear ETF), RDDT, UNH, and slowly selling down Nvidia I’ve held onto for quite a while
SMR UEC & NLR are my picks, I also think NANO and OKLO are good pics
I am working my way towards 50% in VT, 10% in GLDM / physical gold / 10% IBIT, remaining 30% growth / speculative like NLR (nuclear ETF), Reddit, Google, UNH, etc
I’m in my early 30s. My investment horizon is 30 years. NLR (Van Eck nuclear ETF) is my go to these days and my tranches have done great (although everyone is Buffet in a bull market (bubble)
