The big question now being asked by investors, institutions, uranium
speculators, fuel brokers, uranium miners, industry consultants and utilities
is: ‘How high will the price of uranium reach during 2007?’ Growth in the
uranium sector continues to depend upon ever more convincing confirmatory
evidence of global warming, caused by excessive fossil fuel use, in order to
accelerate broad public demand for the expansion of nuclear energy as a
replacement source for electricity.
In that context, it was a fitting end to 2006 when Associated Press reported
the Ayles Ice Shelf had broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada’s
northernmost shore, where polar bears are reportedly drowning from the lack of
ice to rest upon. This 41-square mile block was one of six remaining ice shelves
in Canada’s Arctic, some 800 miles from the North Pole. To put this into
perspective, the ice chunk was larger than New York City’s Manhattan Island –
about the size of 11,000 football fields. By next summer, oil and gas drillers
may find the ice shelf interrupting their production and explorations; shippers
may need to re-route to avoid collisions.

There is a national trend developing. Today, more LLCs are being formed in
the USA than corporations.
Necessity, it is said, is the mother of invention. Given the simplicity,
protection and flexibility of the Limited Liability Company (‘LLC’), some states
have begun to adopt the new ‘Series’ form of LLC. Starting 10 years ago with the
concept of ‘cell’ captive insurance companies used offshore, the states of
Delaware, Nevada, Oklahoma, Iowa, and now Illinois have embraced the new
‘Series’ LLC. It may be very well-suited for certain types of business and
investment holdings -- such as multiple income-producing real estate, aircraft
leasing, container vessels such as tankers and cargo ships, franchise business
enterprises (i.e. multiple fast food stores), trucking and transportation
fleets, and companies having operating divisions that need to enhance the
liability shield to better protect one portion of the business activity from
another.
THE CONCEPT MAKES SENSE.
Use of multiple LLCs for property owners is a conservative and safe way to
go. However, instead of registering a traditional LLC, forming a new ‘Series
LLC’ may be a smarter way to go for real estate investors. The concept is
simple. It’s based on the model of the Cell Captive Insurance Company used in
other countries.
