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.

After The Close, 24 June 2009

Merv’s Daily Uranium Index
Market Data

Open: 166.34
High: 172.63
Low: 163.83
Close: 168.68
Volume: 4727


Note that the volume is an average volume of round lot sales for the 5 0 component stocks. For total volume, multiply by 5000.

It seems like that P&F up trend line shown yesterday was a good support, at least so far. We still need much more upside action to be out of the woods. Maybe this week’s $1.00 rise in uranium price will put some gusto into the move.

The Merv’s Daily Uranium Index closed a little higher today, by 4.08 points or 2.48%. There were 34 winners, 11 losers and 5 going nowhere. All of the five largest stocks were gainers today. Cameco gained 0.4%, First Uranium gained 3.9%, Paladin gained 3.4%, Uranium One gained 6.2% and USEC gained 6.1%. The best gainer of the day was Uranium Energy with a gain of 19.8% while the loser of the day was Rockgate Capital with a loss of 8.0%.

The only change in the indicators today was the short term momentum indicator moving above its negative trigger. However, the indicator is still in its negative zone and the ratings have not changed. Both the short and intermediate term ratings remain BEARISH.

For no other reason but that I’m lazy today, I’ll remain with my lateral direction as the immediate direction of least resistance.
