Uranium:
Mr Dines brought uranium to the forefront on 15 Sep 2000 when the metal was at $8/lb and the most hated investment idea on the planet, which subsequently rose to $138/lb a 1,625% rise. His recommended uranium stocks had a phenomenal rise until 2007. Despite a 3-year uranium bear market, as of 2010 the Dines Uranium Stock Average (DIURANIA) is up 594% for the past 10 years. Since the 2008 Bottom, it is currently up 101%. The metal itself is now up 750% since recommended at $8/lb.
