Uranium prices have more support now than they did when the nuclear fuel hit its all-time high in 2007, according to the chief executive of uranium explorer Madison Metals Inc. (OTC: MMTLF ). Back then, when uranium reached a record high above $130 per pound, physical supply was tight because of flooding at two major mines, falling recoveries from old nuclear warheads, expectations of a nuclear renaissance and the launch of uranium futures in New York.

He was a former University of Adelaide student, having completed a bachelor’s degree in hospitality just over 12 months ago, and had been working at this hotel since graduating.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Am I the only one who recognizes that there is insufficient qualitative data points in a URAR 1004 to run a reliable AVM. Q3/Q4, C3/C4 is not necessarily consistent (not to mention binary) and may vary depending on comps and no one I know ever makes a line item functional adjustment, and the below/above grade reconciliation is totally contrived to often zero out towards TOTAL GLA; and land value has nothing to do with cost/acre (square vs long rectangle same acreage) – just a few reasons w

In reply to Bill. It would have to be. If they are using that information to arrive at the CBG adjustments, then it would only be logical that it was being used to locate sales the CU would prefer you use in order to lower the risk score, or in otherwards lower the value. They are the culprits and the one’s that are gaslighting the media about appraiser’s are doing when they are doing it.

In reply to Pat. While they don’t have a 1 mile rule, the UW comments regarding such are suggestive otherwise. Yes FNMA will deny anything and everything. Even if this were to blow up and end before Congress, I don’t believe anything will come of it because it would completely erode the media push that appraiser’s are racist and they need that narrative to be pushed to push us out.

In reply to Bill. Oh I do understand that, but I feel I have to assume they are using all the same data. I get that one does the underwriting and one produces the value, but is illogical to view them as working harmoniously in sink? Would this no complete the closed network system they are hoping for, with one major flaw, the closed network would be prone to error with the lack of new data could it not spiral?

Yes., we are mad as hell and not going to take it any more!
