Selling CCJ puts for income.
Cameco Corp. (CCJ) is a uranium miner benefiting from higher energy prices and a shift toward nuclear power production.
The stock pulled back to start the year but has since rebounded. The Russia / Ukraine conflict is helping to drive home the necessity of a diversified energy base which ultimately could drive much more demand for nuclear power.
