URNJ: Holding For Better Times
The Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF is highly volatile and underperforms compared to peers like URA and NLR, making it suitable for bull markets. URNJ's focus on small-cap uranium miners offers pure-play exposure but comes with high risks and an expense ratio of 0.80%. URNJ's structure blends equal-weighting and market-cap methodologies, making it volatile but potentially rewarding during strong uranium rallies.
