In 2006, a flooded mine at Cigar Lake sent uranium prices from the $50 range to $136 in eight months.

Gerardo Del Real calls this the Third Convergence Event and has backed three small companies positioned in front of it.tc pixel

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including EWL, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is October, 30 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like EWL:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
