I am long term positive on industrial metals like copper and cobalt.
Rare earth metals are incredibly promising as an investment but the only way to play them is through junior mining companies in the US, Canada and Australia.
Right now, China completely dominates the mining of rare earth metals. They are necessary for all kinds of high tech products from flat screen TV’s to missile guidance systems.
China has announced that they are phasing out export of these vital, strategic metals because they will need the entire output for their own use.
US and Canadian mines are at least 10 yrs from being able to make up the shortfall.

Dinosaurs With 15 Horns, 7-Foot Heads Are Discovered in Utah
Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — Two new species of horned dinosaurs were discovered to have lived in Utah 76 million years ago when the U.S. state was part of an island continent.
One of the giant reptiles, dubbed the Utahceratops gettyi, had a 7-foot-long head. The other, called Kosmoceratops richardsoni, the most-ornate dinosaur ever unearthed, had 15
horns: 1 over the nose, 1 over each eye and at the tip of each cheekbone, and 10 across the back of its bony frill. Each dinosaur was about as heavy as a hippopotamus.
The dinosaurs are cousins of the Triceratops and are the southern neighbors of the Chasmosaurus, said Scott Sampson, the lead author of a paper on the beasts that will appear in the journal PLoS One. They lived on an island continent, dubbed Laramidia, when what is now North America was divided by an interior sea that ran along the eastern side of the Rockies, extending from the Gulf of Mexico through Alaska. The climate was swampy and subtropical.
“This points to the fact that the world of dinosaurs was more unusual than we’d previously thought,†Sampson, a paleontologist at the Utah Museum of Natural History and the University of Utah, both in Salt Lake City, said in a telephone interview. “How do you jam so many giant dinosaurs on such a small chunk of land?â€

US investors are so narrowly focused!!!!!
China Rare Earth (769 HK, CREQF)
gemini10,
before you continue with the global warming debate,
be prepared to discuss
-satellite altimitry data
-coastal subsidence as it pertains to “fudged” numbers
by the IPCC
-reduction or lack of reduction in earth’s rotational rate
-lack of substantial increase in global hurricane strength data
-recent increase in antarctic ice shelf size
And more to add to the “Democrats are Dinosaurs” discussion….

“You have no idea how much the rest of the state HATES NYC , its residents and what it stands for!!!!!”
Or how much they depend on NYC for their money. Upstate has been sucking NYC dry for years. So screw them.

hi everyone 😉
I’m for Paladino,
because Cuomo has no “cojones”, at least according to Paladino.
Hi legion, is this what you REALLY feel or are do you want to start a fight for fun? 🙂
