Mantra Resources, from Australia, also fell 28 percent yesterday. However, here is the reason why none of these profits are sure deals.  Rosatom Corp. from is seeking to renegotiate its bid.

"Analysts still project uranium stocks will rise more than 80 percent on average in the coming year, the data show".

"“The risks associated with these types of transactions are going to be much higher relative to other deals out there,” said Sachin Shah, a special situations and merger arbitrage strategist at Capstone Global Markets LLC in New York. “Because the circumstances are without resolution in the plant in Japan, the potential buyers are likely not only to take a wait-and-see approach, but they’re trying to understand what ramifications they will have with the current operations in their countries.”
