Rule's discipline begins with a portfolio rule that starts with workload capacity.

Is now the time to consider hopping back into silver investing? Sure, the precious metal may tend to be a bit more volatile than gold, but it is certainly offering a compelling value proposition for the months to come.

Power demand is the bottleneck of the AI buildout, and nuclear is the only zero-carbon source that can run a hyperscaler 24 hours a day without weather risk.

With disruptions in the oil sector continuing to stretch into the summer, nuclear energy is mounting an increasingly compelling use case. It is one of a few reasons why now may be a good time to increase your portfolio's uranium exposure.

If you own the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEARCA:TAN) because you wanted exposure to the energy buildout behind artificial intelligence, the thesis deserves a second look.

The choice between the Global X Uranium ETF (NYSEARCA:URA) and the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:URNM) looks academic until the uranium spot price moves.

I rate Sprott Uranium Miners ETF a BUY, expecting a decade-long uranium supply-demand imbalance to drive returns. URNM offers concentrated, levered exposure to uranium miners, with higher volatility and potential upside versus broader ETFs like URA. URNM's portfolio favors producers and safer jurisdictions, minimizing dilution and geopolitical risk while maximizing leverage to uranium prices.

Markets have treated AI as a gold rush of LLMs, chips and cloud applications, but as the industry shifts from chatbots to agentic systems —  AI that autonomously runs workflows and makes decisions — hyperscalers are now facing a brutal physical bottleneck.

Sprott Uranium Miners ETF's portfolio is heavily concentrated in miners like Cameco, missing critical exposure to tightening enrichment and conversion segments. Equities within URNM have priced in significant optimism, diverging from underlying uranium prices and creating an unattractive entry point. Strategic capital and policy support are flowing to enrichment, not mining, leaving URNM misaligned with the most acute supply chain bottleneck.

The global push, particularly in Western nations, towards advanced technology in the defense sector is amplifying the realization that critical supply chains run through China. For defense strategists, this reliance becomes a roadblock on the path to critical mineral independence.
