This is a difficult post for me. Over the past few years I have had the privilege of posting comments and analysis relative to the technical market activities of North American uranium stocks. Unfortunately, things have come into focus recently that cause me to hang up the shingles and finally, after over 45 years following the markets, retire and take some relaxation time with the family. I had previously packed up my Aerospace Consulting business and now am packing up the market guru business.
This is not the end. I hope in some manner to continue commentaries and stock analysis but not on any kind of regular basis. Where I am going with this end of my activities I don’t know at this time but I thought I should let my uranium followers know that regular posting is not in the cards for the future.
I expect to be keeping my Uranium Indices and Weekly Tables up to date for the foreseeable future and may make some use of them from time to time.
My thanks and appreciation to all those who have followed my commentaries and to the many who have provided favorable (and occasionally, unfavorable) comments on the postings.

About Me
- x
- During the day I practice my engineering profession as a Consulting Aerospace Engineer. Once the sun goes down and night descends upon the earth I don my other hat as a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and try to decipher what’s going on in the securities markets. As an underground surveyor in the gold mines of Canada’s Northwest Territories in my youth, I have a soft spot for the resource industry and have developed several resource Indices reflecting different aspects of the industry. As a basically lazy individual my driving focus is to KEEP IT SIMPLE.
Market Chat With Getting Technical
Technical vs Fundamental
In a nut shell:
Technical analysis tries to define what IS happening in the market.
Fundamental Analysis is an attempt to define what should be happening in the market.

IS and IS NOT
What this blog IS
A periodic review of the daily or weekly market action in uranium stocks. The review is strictly from the technical perspective. Merv is a pure market technician.
Weekly, one will find a table of technical information and ratings of the 50 component stocks of the Merv's Uranium Index as well as a weekly summary of the uranium stock activity.
Daily (most days), one will find a daily review of the market action of the Merv's Daily Uranium Index as well as technical analysis of one or more uranium stocks of interest.
What this blog IS NOT
This blog IS NOT a blog providing any fundamental information on uranium stocks. Merv does not have the time to gather such information. Please check with your broker or investment adviser.
For those who wish fundamental information on stocks the LINKS section has links to a variety of web sites providing such information. New links are added as they become known.
Disclaimer
Technical analysis is not perfect. Should you expect perfection this is not the site for you.
Technical analysis IS a very sound technique to assess the daily or weekly trading activities in securities and to assess appropriate timing of investment activities.
This blog provides such technical analysis of the trading activity in uranium stocks for your information. Any use made of this information is

Hi Merv! Thank you so much for all the commentaries I have been following over the last 4 years. Crazy years to say the least and you have packed these into cool graphs and words. It was great but now it seems the time for you to pursue other activities. Take your rest and have some time with your family. You deserve it! All the best, Markus from Switzerland

Will miss reading your commentary, graphs and charts, all the best to you, but would you please reconsider?
Here's hoping you enjoy whatever you may choose to do with your time!
Once again, thanks for your uranium tables and technical insights - there's nothing quite like it available elsewhere.
Farewell!
I will miss your commentary and analysis, Thanks, enjoy your retirement, you deserve it.
Merv,
Thanks for sharing your time and expertise. It has been a privelege.
tiHallo Merv,
Thanks for your great work and research. This blog was a must be for me and all uranium investors. Your work was very helpful for all of us.
In this sense a quotation of Albert Einstein:
"Die besten Dinge im Leben sind nicht die, die man für Geld bekommt. "
"The best things in life are not those, which one receives for money." -Zitat Albert Einstein-
Enjoy your time with your family.
Greetings from Germany, Dresden
Thanks a lot Merv for your factual comments over the years, I've been reading you for several years now.
My best wishes for your well-deserved time with your family, and don't forget that if you want to resume your comments, you have a crowd of followers !
All the best and Gong Xi fa cai,
Max in Hong Kong
Merv: You're a beauty. Your timing is incredible. You finally call the bullish trend and its like you just nailed it to the day. Like the others, I will certainly miss you measured and even insight and comments. Are you sure you don't want to keep this up...like really part time...even once a month or so just to stay in the game? There's no replacement out there...
Merv
I would just like to say you are a Gem, with the efforts that you have put in over the Years.
Best of luck in your future, and wish both you and your Family all the best that life can give,
Kind regards Grant
P.S. Thanks for that offer of assistance in Charting that you gave yo me some years back, it's been remembered.

Merv,
you have only one failing: You have not trained your successor.
Who will it be? I will if you want.
Thanks for all the advice. A gift.
