is this a good growth focused Roth IRA asset allocation?

If you have strong convictions in nuclear energy I wouldn’t worry about the expense ratio of NUKZ. URA is another to consider. If you are interested in AI/Semiconductors I like both SOXX and AIS. If I were you, I would get rid off QQQM and switch VOO for AVGE wish is an actively managed all world fund. 40% AVGE 40% SPMO 10% AIS 5% NUKZ 5% NASA Just my opinion, either way great job getting started early
I like the idea of investing in small nuclear, but I don't like the expense ratio of NUKZ or NASA, you also have massive overlap between VOO, QQQM and SPMO. VOO and QQQM have about 86% overlap by VOO and SPMO are about 98%, QQQM are still heavy at about 48%, though that may change a little with the SPMO rebalance in a few days.
Is there anything more dystopian than buying calls on NUKZ?
I bought NUKZ at the wrong time (a surge) and now it's down. Still gonna hold.
Energy sleeve of compounders + frontier GEV, PWR, CEG + NUKZ, OKLO, LEU, CCJ
I’ve been wondering this too. NUKZ looks like a decent ETF with a pretty broad coverage of that sector. I have a watchlist made but haven’t been able to sit down and dig through it much yet.
I tend to keep most of my portfolio in ETFs (VOO, QQQ, IXUS, QTUM and NUKZ) and usually only have a maximum of 5% in any single stock. Of a single stock runs and I can't make sense of the new valuation based on the news I will trim my position and look for reentry at a lower price, missed some gains on IONQ but it didn't make sense to me why it even got to 40 in the first place. POET I will not reenter because it is moving on pure speculation and the most recent news have been a 400m dilution and the loss of their main client. I am currently FOMOed into Joby about 15% of my portfolio but the current price is a good 20% above my entry and I see it going higher based on catalysts coming this year and early next year. Current losers I hold are FIG and NOW, those I was at first 40% and 30% up but currently sitting at ~10% loss, not worried since I only put a few Ks in them. Entered PATH last week with a small position, hoping for earnings to help the stock regain some of that 30% loss ytd.
Nor can I tbh. I’m just doing ETFs. TAN/NUKZ so far. Haven’t picked a broader one for battery storage but that’s probably the best long term area tbh. Maybe LIT or IBAT but I don’t specifically want the mining stocks. Then again, me not wanting them probably makes them the best play.
Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF NYSEARCA: NUKZ
VOO and Spy are essentially the same. No diversity there. I just made this portfolio recently. Maybe take a look. -International ———-32% VCN10% (Canadian) IDVO10% XEF 5% XEC 7% -S&P————————23% Vfv-23% -NASDAQ——————5% TQQQ5% -Nuclear——————-5% NUKZ5% -Bitcoin———————5% Mstr 5% -Precious Metals ——15% GLDM5% SLV5% COPX5% -Semiconductors ——15% SMH 15%
So what’s the best etfs now that semis are bloated? NUKZ? Is there a photonics etf? Cisco?
Not a bad idea. Might shuffle some funds from VST and UNH and get some NUKZ.
I dig it. Needs some SMH and NUKZ thought. Maybe some SHLD.
$1k per share. IDK. I''ve had Uranium ETFs like URA or URNJ. NUKZ is everything nuclear. UUUU is a stand alone stock thats high risk/reward. All at or around $50/share. I ended up settling with SETM cuz it has Uranium, silver, gold, lithium, copper, and all the other headline metals.
NUKZ ETF and CEG which went down a bunch and is now recovering.
Great idea. The NUKZ ETF is a great option. I noticed that their current holding are less of a 'pure' nuclear energy companies like Oklo but this ETF has been doing really well.
Stick with $NKR and $NUKZ. I've held it for 2 years and have no intentions of selling
I got the perfect portfolio for you buy every single week. No matter if it’s $10 $20 $40 whatever you can afford buy the same amount every week and you will be fine also if you are trying to set it up for retirement just buy on a Roth IRA account pay for gold and get the extra 3% match VOO 24% QQQM 24% ARKK 15% ARKX 15% NUKZ 12% SCHD 10%
I've been DCAing into AIPO and NUKZ to catch a few of these.
Got into URNM late but am holding it! Believe I am holding all the uranium ETFs at this point haha. URNM has been good to me so far Holding a lot of nuclear stuff too like RYCEY / CEG but considering an ETF like NUKZ...
I wanted a nuclear stock but couldn’t decide which one so I bought the NUKZ ETF. Cameco is their biggest holding.
It’s an ETF but NUKZ, nuclear energy should be the way we power these massive AI data centers that will pop up for the foreseeable future.
I've been DCAing into NUKZ. Is there a better ETF for nuclear or is that solid?
I'm torn between NLR and NUKZ.
If you’re not someone that watches the graph daily & the stock market, that’s how i’d distribute 15k$ this year. Engine room : 40% allocation SMH : 25% / IYW : 15% Physical constraint : 30% allocation URA : 10% / GRID : 10% / NUKZ : 5% / DTCR : 5% Application : 20% allocation ARKQ : 20% Future option : 10% allocation QTUM: 10%
I’ve been invested in NUKZ (amongst other nuclear companies) since summer 2024. OKLO is a holding. I would welcome this news. I’m not trying to trash them, just giving my perspective
Marvell and NUKZ look absolutely flatlined even though the stock market has done well... so underperforming? SMH and GRID ETF seem to roughly have just followed the overall movements of the stock market for the past few years. So overall these look like a lot of work to just mirror or underperform index investing? Semiconductor stocks are a bit of a gamble, in that nobody knows if this is as high as far as they are going to fly, and if this is just a cycle (imo, computer based businesses are usually cyclical). There was a big push for raw processing capacity for AI, now the buildout for memory and storage capacity is upon us now that people have realized they need a trough to store all this slop. Sort of feel this is the way most computer builds go, get the core of the build together based on budget, once you have that, build out the memory and storage based on forecasts/usage. Not to be a jerk, but these all seem like picks based on the coolest sounding stock tickers with no discernable strategy other than "the future."
This portfolio is a highly concentrated, thematic growth play centered on the "Future of Technology and Energy." While it holds several different tickers, it is not diversified in the traditional sense; it is heavily tilted toward high-beta, tech-centric risk. Here is a breakdown of your portfolio as of late December 2025. 1. Diversification Analysis Sector Concentration: Extremely high. Over 80% of your capital is tied to the "AI Power Loop": Chips (SMH, MRVL) → Automation (ROBO) → Energy (NUKZ, GRID). Overlap: There is significant "hidden" overlap. For example, GRID, NUKZ, and ROBO all have exposure to industrial giants like Quanta Services or Schneider Electric. SMH and MRVL are both driven by the same semiconductor cycles. Asset Class: Mostly equities, with Solana providing a high-risk crypto "kicker." You have no exposure to defensive sectors (Consumer Staples, Healthcare, or Fixed Income). 2. Strength, Weakness, and Valuation Feature Analysis Strengths Structural Tailwinds: Every asset you own benefits from the multi-decade shift toward AI and electrification. High growth potential if the "Nuclear Renaissance" and "AI chip" cycles continue. Weaknesses Interest Rate Sensitivity: Most of these are growth assets that suffer when rates are high. Capital Intensity: Nuclear and Smart Grids require massive upfront spending, making them sensitive to economic slowdowns. Valuation Likely Overvalued/Premium: SMH (P/E ~43x) and ROBO trade at significant premiums to the S&P 500. NUKZ has seen a massive run-up in 2025 (+41% YTD), suggesting much of the "renaissance" is already priced in. 3. Bull vs. Bear Case The Bull Case (The "Supercycle") AI demand stays "higher for longer," requiring a total overhaul of the US power grid (GRID) and a massive shift to carbon-free baseload power (NUKZ). In this scenario, Marvell (MRVL) wins as data centers require more specialized networking chips, and Solana becomes the "high-speed retail chain" for crypto apps. The Bear Case (The "CapEx Hangover") Big Tech companies (Microsoft, Google) realize they have over-invested in AI chips, leading to a "chip glut." This would crash SMH and MRVL. Simultaneously, if nuclear projects face regulatory delays or cost overruns, NUKZ and GRIDcould see a 30–40% "air pocket" drop as speculative money exits. 4. Performance in a Downturn In a standard recession or market "black swan," this portfolio will likely significantly underperform the S&P 500. * Liquidity Drain: Solana and SMH are often the first things sold when investors move to "risk-off." Volatility: Expect drawdowns that are 1.5x to 2x deeper than the broader market. 5. Portfolio Metrics (Estimates) BETA (Systemic Risk): Estimated 1.45 – 1.60. (This means for every 1% the S&P 500 moves, your portfolio likely moves 1.5% or more). YIELD (Income): Very Low (~0.6% – 0.9%). This is a "capital appreciation" portfolio, not an income one. GRID provides the most yield (~1.25%), while SMH/MRVL provide almost none. PEG (Price/Earnings-to-Growth): High (~2.0 – 2.5). A PEG over 1.0 suggests you are paying a premium for growth. You aren't getting "deals" here; you are paying up for quality/momentum. Next Steps To balance this without losing your "conviction" in tech, would you like me to identify 2-3 defensive stocks or "value" ETFs that would lower your overall Beta while keeping your tech exposure?
2025 was all AI. But AI is dependent on one thing, energy. For the sake of humanity, clean energy. I truly think nuclear energy is the next frontier and we should see MASSIVE gains in 2026 and on as these data centers go up and start considering self-sustainable energy. I know nothing about all the companies, so have decided ETF is the best chance to have an even spread of exposure in the sector. My pick? NUKZ (because what a rad ticker right?)
It's not hype, but there is something to "I can deliver energy now" vs "I can have one of these built in 2027." Beyond that, the issue becomes the IPPs that can deliver now are already up 500-700% in the last 5 years and in the latter category you had something like OKLO trading at like a $25B market cap despite being *very* early stage - all the sudden OKLO is down about half in a month. The easy money has been made in the former and the latter lost just shy of half the moment the market started to have a little turbulence. Even with something like VST up 760% in the last 5 years, the best case scenario it could do fine but it's tough to see where the next 760% comes from and worst case scenario, the gains are heavily due to the AI/data center theme - any slowing in that and the downside is considerable (when the DeepSeek story happened earlier this year, VST was down 28% in a few days.) VST was a formerly bankrupt utility that did not much of anything for several years until data center demand. Names like PWR are up 500% in the last 5 years, as well. It's not that companies like PWR/VST/CEG/TLN/GEV, Siemens Energy in Europe or Mitsubishi Heavy and Hitachi in Japan are bad companies, but the theme has been going on for a while now already. The NUKZ etf is up about 50% YTD. I agree with the other poster who talked about nat gas.
They are basically doing the same the past year, but NUKZ is much better since it was established in 2024. I've soured a lot on both, but NUKZ has a much broader view of nuclear exposure, with CEG, Rolls-Royce and Lockheed in the top ten holdings, while URA is more narrow uranium. Cameco and Oklo are 35% of URA while only 12% of NUKZ. Oklo in particular is just an idea stock at this point, so considerably more risk... down 40% the past month. I've moved on the TCAI and AIPO as my infrastructure ETFs, with AIPO holding enough nuclear for me.
ETF is NUKZ. CCJ, SMR, OKLO, LEU etc.
I've gone into NUKZ and UUUU, so far so good! NUKZ has been steadily growing since I got in
I like CCJ but it just ran up like crazy due to their deal with Westinghouse. I transitioned out of OKLO and went all into CCJ at $74. If you want safer probably best to go with URNM or NUKZ which are both etfs. I really do like cameco though. I also have CEG and UUUU on my watchlist but haven’t invested in them.
I really like NUKZ. I've been building up a position. I also like SHLD.
No, not all of us are s&p 500 and chill. Half my 403b is in VGT, 20% in QQQ, 20% is in crypto, and 10% is in NUKZ,
NUKZ because it's diversified and the name is cool
Biggest to smaller (only those over ten kas have lots of "smaller" stocks too) NVDA, USD, COPX, BYD, BRKB, Recent stocks of interest I bought some of are NUKZ and URA (I think they're called). Basically etfs that buy into nuclear fusion, which I think is gonna be massive due to data centres. I'm also very pleased with my copx etc, it's done so well this year. It seems blindingly obvious to me that copper is gonna be needed to keep all this electrical infrastructure going.
Let’s share our best plays of the year. I sold NUKZ last December (up 50% since), I sold GLD at 312 in May, I sold CRCL at 112 (it was 263 6 days later).
What is booming? AI, data, crypto. Research who is building the data centers. How do the build them, how do they keep the heat load down, power, infrastructure. I opened a fidelity account with no knowledge but with 1 night deep dive into what the biggest tech companies are spending money on, I found nbis, fix, IREN, APLD, PRIM, HUT,CC, and they all have killed it. Mixed in some that I thought were low risk like AVGO, NUKZ, AIQ , and then some gambles like NB,UMAC. 1 night of research and haven’t looked at anything else and been buying more of the winners. Options freak me out, but I 3xd just buying shares. Obviously lucky to start in a crazy bull run after the spring dip. I’m not selling anything for a long time, I’ll just take debt out on those instead of capital gains and plan on riding out a big correction
They had this discussion on CNBC this morning too. Overall I agree with him, but I have felt like we have been overdue for a correction for a while. Or a downturn. Yet it keeps going up. Right now my portfolio has reflected my views by staying in the market, but don't chase the crazy volatile growth stocks. I saw Bloom Energy lose about 20% in two days, then gained it back and then some in a couple days later. That is insane. Let alone other stocks like Oklo. I digress, but I have avoided those stocks and focused on lower volatility, but overall is going up relative to the S&P 500. Stocks like Emerson Electric where it's a good insutry to be in, but not strongly tied to the AI play. I have a couple gold plays from a gold ETF to a gold miner that has done well. Companies like GE and Mitsibushi Financial are doing well, but staying under the radar. Similar to some ETFs I have, and that is where I have a little more risk such as NUKZ. But it doesn't drop 10% in a day like Oklo, but may drop 1.5% in a similar day. Mangeable volatility to stay in and see how it plays before going with a gut feeling to get out or not.
I like ETFs like NUKZ or AIPO for that, both have oklo
OKLO is interesting but literally doesn't have any revenues. And the stock keeps going up as if it does. Turning into a meme stock. There are other ways to play the energy side, BN/BIPC, or CCJ, CEG, or an ETF like NUKZ.
I’m in NUKZ for broad exposure. Feeling like nuclear is still an early play considering reactors take years to establish
I actually bought Oklo, SMR, and NUKZ last year and enjoyed a 40% run up before realizing that these companies cannot compete with large nuclear reactors companies because of economies of scale and these little guys have to jump through the same regulatory hoops that the large nuclear plant companies do. So what’s the competitive advantage? Just buy the larger nuclear companies if you’re confident in this industry like Constellation energy.
Instead of "energy" you may want to start thinking more in terms of utilities, electrification and infrastructure. This is a bottomless pit of complex opportunities, but obviously everything to do with electricity has opportunities going forward. You might want to read the information associated with ETFs aiming at benefiting from this electricity/datacenter/infrastructure phenomenon.... PWRD, UTES, VOLT, ZAP, AIPO, ELFY, NUKZ, GRID
NUKZ if you're trying to buy & hold
NUKZ has been very kind over the last year.
Nuclear: NUKZ AI energy transformation: PWRD Broad utilities but AI focused: UTES
Also the Range Nuclear Renaissance ETF (NUKZ) tracks the performance of companies involved in the nuclear fuel and energy industry.
Expectations for OKLO are not even that great. But for some reason nuke stocks have the appeal of quantum stocks. Wind and Solar look better than Nuclear, as good as Nuclear looks. I do hold some NUKZ ETF.
You've basically got 80% US equities and then scattered bets around it. VT is redundant with VOO and VT at just 10% doesn’t do anything on intl diversification. Also, URA and NUKZ do overlap more than you think. Check this report on your allocation: https://www.insightfol.io/en/portfolios/report/896e1b983a/
Family asked this question during New Years. One of the choices I said I was scoping out was nuclear energy. I watched NUKZ and NLR through April, then pulled the trigger when everything was on sale. Both are up 45%+ since April. Thing is I knew this was a good play ahead of time... AI is takes a fuck ton of compute resources, what's a renewable way to power this? Only problem is I wish I had bought more early on lol.
How many people here invested in MSOS and lost money over the past year? I lost about 20% before exiting and dumping into NUKZ.
How much of a role is nat gas going to play in electricity generation? Things like EQT and pipelines like WMB are not going to be home runs but I think are somewhat underappreciated. In terms of nuclear, there are a number of foreign stocks that benefit. The NUKZ etf is a mostly good list of names, as thematic etfs go. GRID is another etf where you might find a few worthwhile names in the holdings. And really - not saying that these names are 9th inning or something. I think best case scenario they could continue to do well over the coming years and given the nature of these projects, they aren't going to play out overnight. However, I just think some caution when looking at something like GEV up 300% in a year (and something like 15%) yesterday and is technically overbought. If anything, something to gradually, opportunistically DCA into. The other thing that people aren't talking about is water. There was an article in the WSJ the other day talking about neighbors of Meta's data center not having any water, articles like this (https://www.engadget.com/ai/meta-announces-huge-new-data-centers-but-they-could-gobble-up-millions-of-gallons-of-water-per-day-174000478.html) IMO, that makes something like the rainwater harvesting systems from Watts Water (WTS) kinda interesting (https://www.watts.com/raincycle; there's a data center example on that page.) Again, not going to be a home run but the idea that massive data centers can harvest rainwater and use it rather than drawing from municipalities is a sollution that I think will be increasingly appealing. Obviously, power/grid is going to be the biggest winner (and for a lot of names already has) and probably the thing that people will allocate to most, but water use is something to think about to a lesser degree, as are nat gas producers/pipelines.
NLR has a more broad basket than NUKZ and some of the others iirc.
I like pretty much all of the top 10 holdings of NUKZ. Depends on if you want to be on the build side or power generation side or uranium mining side. You might also want to pick not-insane governments and economies. CCJ has all of the above.
Do you have a favorite for nuclear? Was thinking of NUKZ but unsure.
"Which stocks stand to benefit?" The NUKZ etf is already up 36% YTD vs the SPY +6%. Various names have been benefitting from the idea of more power needed for a couple of years now.
I’m running with both NLR and NUKZ. There’s some overlap, but it’s not bad. The holdings in NUKZ was the difference. CEG and GEV are beasts. The other companies have decent upside to them as well such as OKLO. I see multiple winners in this space for years to come.
I've been looking at NUKZ and URA and can't decide. URA has a long track record and small expense ratio but NUKZ had a great return but only one of them. I try not to chase past returns but ya know...... What made you chose NUKZ?
If it was me, I’d diversify. Low cost index funds and sector funds such as UTES, NUKZ, CIBR, SHLD, SPMO, and QQQM.
URNM and NUKZ are good starting points: URNM gives pure uranium exposure, NUKZ includes SMRs, utilities, and fuel cycle plays. I lean more toward individual stocks, but they’re both solid for sector momentum. If you’re diving deeper, I write a free weekly newsletter on nuclear headlines (Monday), and a premium one (Saturday) focused on investing: market sentiment, stock picks, insider moves, and a model portfolio with allocations. Here’s a free edition of the premium one so you can get a feel: https://nuclearupdate.beehiiv.com/p/nuclear-update-premium-june-28 Let me know if you want more resources, always happy to share.
Great picks! If you're thinking long-term exposure to data center demand + next-gen nuclear, here’s a quick breakdown: CEG: Largest U.S. nuclear operator. Profitable, clean baseload, big-tech-friendly. One of the safest long-term bets. LEU: Only U.S.-owned uranium enricher, licensed for HALEU—fuel for next-gen reactors. Tiny float, but huge strategic relevance. NuScale (SMR): Regulatory first-mover, but execution has been shaky. Worth keeping an eye on, but very high risk. Nuclear ETFs: URNM, NLR, or NUKZ if you want broader exposure without picking individual winners. I cover this stuff weekly in my newsletter, Nuclear Update. The latest post is free if you're curious: https://nuclearupdate.com/p/nuclear-update-premium-june-28-2025-ec1d Let me know if you want more names.
Bought more RDDT, ETHU, MSTR and NUKZ. These are long term holds besides the ETHU since it's leveraged.
If its only 6 months us thematics and momentum SPMO , SHLD , NUKZ you would destroy his picks until a correction 🤣
feeling GUSHy, hope no one drops any NUKZ
Nuclear energy (URA, NUKZ, if you want ETFS)
Sure glad I held on to those old NUKZ and URA etfs
Which is why I’m surprised NUKZ is going down cause we aren’t fueling AI with inefficient wind and solar
That’s why I will eventually go with NUKZ
Yes sir. You can even try $NUKZ. But let's not get greedy because these stocks are speculative as they come especially OKLO. I think Vistra and GEV actually some business going.
Nuclear all green: SMR, LTBR, OKLO, CCJ, NUKZ, EUC, BWXT
You can also get NUKZ and URA ETFs.
I bought NUKZ for a hold.
