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.

Haven’t posted since the weekend so thought I’d at least post the chart. Nothing much is still happening. One can die of boredom waiting for some real action. But hope springs eternal, as they say so we will keep on trucking.

Cameco gained 1.7%, Denison gained 2.3%, Extract lost 10.3%, Paladin gained 7.1% and Uranium One lost 0.4%.
