BASIC NOTES

Uranium Companies

There are very few pure uranium companies. Most companies, especially the small exploration type, are active in more than the uranium industry. This blog makes no attempt to guage the percentage of a companies activity that are related to the finding, mining or processing of uraniun. They all do, however, have some uranium activities (to the best of our review).

Merv's Uranium Indices

I have developed two Uranium Indices. They each have the same component stocks but are calculated using different methodologies. My weekly Index is based upon the average weekly performance of the component stocks. My daily Index is based upon the daily average of the component stocks open, high, low and close prices along with the daily average volume of all component stocks.

Merv’s Weekly Uranium Review
for week ending 06 February 2009

Merv’s Daily Uranium Index
Market Data for Friday 06 Feb 2009

Open: 139.33
Hugh: 145.84
Low: 137.07
Close: 141.10
Volume: 5904

Note that the volume is an average volume of round lot sales for the 50 component stocks. For total volume, multiply by 5000.

Sorry for the delay, it was a busy day yesterday and I just wasn’t able to get everything done that I usually do. This is just a brief summary of where we stand as of Friday close. I will have the detailed analysis this evening “after the close”.

The Merv’s Daily Uranium Index was up 2.76 points or 1.99% on Friday. The Merv’s Weekly Uranium Index closed the week with a gain of 157.70 points or 4.46%.

Although things are looking better and better there still has not been a break-out from the short term “box” which would forecast the start of a new trend. The ratings have not changed from Thursday (or last week for the long term). They remain BEARISH for the long term and BULLISH for the intermediate and short term. As for the direction of least resistance, I will stick with the lateral for another day although the underlying strength seems to be perking up for the up side.

Detail analysis for all three time periods will be this evening.
