NLR and WQTM are actually up today wowwee lucky me
the worse part is i gave up day trading because i cant keep track of the market that close and have a job, and i fucking sucked at it. I decided I would just buy some shit and sit on it. •So here is mostly: NLR, VRT, SPY, VXUS, IWM, •with some under 300$ plays in: IE, IBIT, Himx, sldp, nbis, sqqq. and after a year to be in the negative is great. so i sold everything except SPY, VXUS, IWM put most my money in SPY going to wait for my 6k to give me 60$ in a year and buy some shotgun rounds and repaint my ceiling fuck this bs.
Oklo, Cameco, CEG, NLR are my top 4
Build your base early. Focus on ETFs and Sectors that will play into future. You have time on your side. Main portfolio $VUG (low fees) Sector specific ETFs that could appreciate considerablely given time. $NASA - Space Sector $DRAM or $SOXX- Memory/AI $QTUM - Quantum $NLR - Nuclear/Uranium Auto invest on a monthly basis. For a few years in a Roth IRA and through your employers 401k. Max out annual contributions if able
Also on NLR but hard to time it right. I keep adding a little over the past couple months. Seems like a no brainer to have exposure to, but why not everyone else is buying and running up the price, I do not know.
I like energy 🥰 so I’m watching NLR and similar
I also bought NLR and it went down. I'm still holding out.
I’d been in and out of NLR once before. Now it’s at a support level I did make a light re-entry today
We're gonna need lots and lots of NUCLEAR (NLR) energy
I like the company not sure when but at some point it will kick butt. I’m buying NLR etf, it has around 8% of CEG
NNE, SMR, NLR + any other energy not fuel
I've been on elevators recently with higher volume than SPY. Sector and commodity ETFs are way busier, and better, relative to cost. NLR anyone?
NFA i personally just buy ETF’s POWR NLR DCTR COPX. Energy is the biggest bottleneck. the new data center in utah uses 9 gigawatts to run. The entire state uses 4 gigawatts lol
AIPO and NLR are good basket versions of the shovel trade. AIPO = AI power infra wrapper. NLR = nuclear/uranium wrapper. Not individual hidden alpha, but useful if someone wants the theme without picking suppliers.
If you don't have the energy to dig into provide stocks, you could start concentrating in a particular sector you believe in $DRAM $NASA $NLR Have all done amazing in my portfolio.
I already all in NLR GEV
IMSR OKLO NLR is what i’m in. IMSR has more upside. An indie stock if you will.
It’s wild, wild times, bro. Every time I get out though I regret sitting on the sidelines because it just never slows down. I am personally investing in ETFs in things that are going to be absolutely needed in the future. So, some of my ETFs include: URA, NLR, COPX, ICLN. They are long plays for me so I am not really worried about short term. However, my long plays investments that have really take off ever since the recent trip to the moon are the NASA ETF and I was also invested in VOYG and LUNR. Damn if I was a bigger risk taker and had put more in those two I would be have serious bank right now!!
CRML, REMX etf. for rare earths. Adding more FCX, initiating positions in NLR and MOO. This is to hedge against inflation and ongoing stupidity in the WH.
BTW, I would also love to have to some discussions about the possibilities of investing in something like KGRN, because I do think that China will invest heavily in renewables. I just think that the US is going to dig in its heels even harder on fossil fuels. Also, I think that the one renewable the US will put investment into in the near future is new nuclear facilities, and I think the regulatory structure will really be loosened so that it won't take so long to get them approved and built. (Not saying this is right or wrong, just that I think it's going to happen.) So there's the issue of investing in that, maybe with something like NLR? Anyway, it would be great to discuss all of this.
I sold NLR for a loss today because I was tired of holding it. I think it will have a bull cycle but now is not that time. Keeping it in the watchlist.
I’m OKLO for risk + NLR for safety
As of today I'd buy the following and hold for 10 years minimum before selling any: VOO - $2,000 SMH - $1,000 CIBR - $1,000 NLR - $1,000 URA - $500 ITA - $500 Brk.b - $500 ELFY - $500 Hookers - $500 Breakdown compliments of AI The "Fortress" Core (VOO, BRK.B): At $2,500, this provides the foundational stability needed to weather a "higher for longer" interest rate environment. Berkshire specifically acts as a "Western Hemisphere" proxy with its massive rail and domestic energy holdings, which are critical as trade blocks become more regionalized. The Energy Sovereignty Stack (NLR, URA, ELFY): This $2,000 cluster addresses the 2026 supply deficit in fossil fuels. NLR and URA capture the entire nuclear lifecycle—from the "margin machine" utilities signing multi-decade contracts with tech giants to the miners providing the raw fuel. ELFY focuses on the domestic grid infrastructure required to support this transition. The Technical Warfare Layer (SMH, CIBR, ITA): With $2,500 in these sectors, you are betting on the physical and digital "front lines." SMH remains the engine of GDP growth, while CIBR and ITA are direct hedges against the rising state-backed cyber threats and regional conflicts that characterize the current decade. This allocation doesn't just chase growth; it buys non-discretionary utilities that the world requires to function, regardless of how much debt or geopolitical friction the "Empire" faces over the next 10 years.
Nice, I own DNN and the VanEck uranium ETF (NLR) for the energy sector of my port. Been doing pretty solid—wish it was more than just 10% of my weight though. I felt like it was a more high risk high reward stock so I didn’t buy as much as I could have unfortunately. Still getting gains though!
NLR, van eck nuclear and uranium etf
Oracle, Arista, Intuit, SpaceX when it IPO's in june, Ondas, AeroVironment, Lululemon give it 5 years (the next ULTA recovery), Constellation Energy or just buy NLR etf, and finally Nebius and CoreWeave
Not me lol, I blew up my robinhood account by going all in on a bio stock a few years ago. Safest bet right now is nuclear UEC, DNN, ASPI, NLR AND SMR
XOP, XLE, IXC, VOLT, URA, NLR (energy)
I would say another problem is enriched Uranium and Rhodium for nuclear plants. Enriched in Russia. US Nuc plants been given the green light to bypass red tape for quick plant approval. Will be placed near massive mining operations to fuel. This is happening fast. There will be a squeeze for supply. VanEk Nuclear ETF (NLR) has risen 35% since Jan, currently correcting with the political theater but solid run. Constellation energy ran too. The future is nuclear and many mandates are focused on easing the entry for a large presence in the US
What works for me is having a sector dashboard. I got killed earlier for saying I Trade Vaneck ETFs here but that's what I do.. For. Example, the last year I traded the stretegic Earth and metals one -- REMX and their NLR$ .. Then I dive in and find single stocks sometimes. They pop. They're not just your etf broad market. You can lose a ton too. Sprouts was a pure pull back trade as it sold off 50% of its value. Watched it every single day since it came down and found the entry. I actually trade one single stock. I can send you screenshots. Too. It's called Credo Technology.. $CRDO. I've had it since $24. Other than that the Google trade at $178. The other one was the $Iren trade at $5.37. But I start by looking at sector strength. That's really important to me. I would say the William o neille thing but it has a cult following so ehh. His capital preservation is core to my work. And he's not buying falling knives is important. I'll stop riding here because the troll on this thread is going to come get me. I want him to post his returns compared to mine though.
I actually have NLR because theres a couple of nuclear companies id get but I dont have the buying power for all of them lol
Not OP but most of my nuclear energy/uranium position is NLR.
Drop the rest in NLR i did something similar around your age and lost burnt my portfolio and brought my account down to 14k its been 4 years and we are now at 70k again it takes work but when you do retarded shit to get retarded consequences. Etf and holding individual stocks long term is your friend.
I’ll speak to #1 since I’ve followed this one closely. On **GE Vernova (GEV):** I’ve listened to all their quarterly earnings calls since the spin. The core thesis is pretty straightforward: as long as global power demand keeps accelerating, especially from AI/data centers and electrification, they’re structurally positioned well. A few key points: * Their **Gas Power segment** (natural gas turbines + services) is effectively sold out for several years (management has indicated backlog stretching close to 2030). That segment still represents a large portion of revenue and cash flow. * They’re one of very few global manufacturers capable of producing large-scale, high-efficiency gas turbines at scale. * The AI/data center buildout is creating incremental baseload demand, not just renewable demand. Gas turbines are currently the fastest scalable solution for reliable dispatchable power. * Also Not sure if you heard SOTU yesterday, but President Trump wants Tech Companies to bring their own power for the Data Centers without connecting into the Grids like ERCOT and PJM. So if all the Big Tech companies want their own power, GEV will be prime contender for it. That said, the stock has already priced in a lot of this optimism. The real questions going forward are: * Can they execute without supply chain bottlenecks? * Do margins expand as backlog converts to revenue? * Does order growth stay strong beyond the current cycle? On the broader power theme, it’s not just GEV. You also have: * **Constellation Energy (CEG):** major nuclear fleet, positioned for 24/7 clean baseload power. Nuclear is increasingly being reconsidered as AI power demand rises. They are reactivating their other defunct Nuclear plants since they know the energy demand is much more than supply. * **Bloom Energy (BE):** solid oxide fuel cells converting natural gas/hydrogen to power for distributed use cases. If you want to simplify it, just look at the Holding Companies of \- $GRID \- $ELFY \- $VOLT \- $AIPO \- $ZAP \- $TPZ \- $POWR \- $NLR Personally, I have meaningful allocation to a mix of GEV, CEG, and BE, but I treat it as a structural power demand thesis, not a short-term trade.
\>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
