00:00Continuing on with this whole, you know, obviously AI theme, nuclear has been, you know, maybe

00:06the biggest benefit here in the second half of the year.

00:09We've seen stocks like Constellation Energy, Vistra running, running.

00:14That continues this morning thanks to Google.

00:17So we've got Google coming out and they're talking about going nuclear for their data

00:23centers as well.

00:25And that's got all the nuclear stocks ripping here this morning.

00:28We've got Constellation Energy, CEG up another 10 bucks.

00:31We got Vistra Energy up another $3, up another 3 percent.

00:35CCJ, Cameco in Canada is up another 3 percent here this morning, too.

00:40And then, you know, if you're just looking at uranium, URA is trading higher here.

00:44You had a small one you were talking about, OKLO, which is up 7 percent here this morning.

00:49Yeah, we had some people in the chat talking about this as well.

00:52I believe Jay Woods last week when I saw him was discussing this.

00:54This is a Sam Altman backed nuclear startup that was a SPAC, as you can tell by the chart,

01:01just at $10 forever.

01:02And then obviously Spytire here after it did its merger with OKLO, got all the way down

01:08to around $5.

01:09And it has now just come ripping back in the last two weeks after, you know, this nuclear

01:14story has heated up.

01:15And then remind me, was it Microsoft that announced a deal with Constellation Energy

01:20a couple of weeks ago?

01:21Yes, it was.

01:22That's what kickstarted the CEG rally.

01:25So that's the big gap up you see in the chart, $2.02 to $2.40 in a day.

01:31And then it's consolidated.

01:32If you look at this chart, you know, sometimes technicals do tell a story.

01:36You look at this chart, has a big move, then the consolidation period ahead of the move.

01:41Now it gets a headline to spike it up to new all-time highs here again.

01:47As I always say, you don't want to be shorting stocks making new all-time highs.

01:51It's just not the gig.

01:52It's natural human tendency to want to sell what is strong and buy what is weak.

01:57But I'll tell you, in this market, you're punished for doing that.

01:59You've got to break that human tendency.

02:01You're shorting stocks making new all-time highs, you're asking for problems.

02:05Constellation Energy, with its Google headlines, going to get talked about here today probably.

02:09It's up nine, not saying chase it.

02:11I hate chasing stocks, but I could see this thing continuing on here this morning.
