Ok, i'll bite. Where do I get a 1 oz bar of nobilium?

Perhaps from one of those round tables in England? Kidding
What I'm blabbing about are exotic / rare earth metals used predominantly in space / aeronautics manufacturing although there is a use for it in catalytics - you should be able to research it without my help but the trends are looking nice and I think there is a lot more potential long-term with regard to return on investment than what me might see with all the hulaballoo over gold/silver. I'm not going overboard but a few thousand here and there might reap some nice rewards.
What's that? You don't have a local nobilium dealer?
So where exactly will you sell your hoard if you need money today? Is your butcher going to trade you a side of beef for some niobium rounds?
And tantalum may cause cancer?
No thanks.
Buying and holding exotic industrial metals makes about as much sense as holding iron ore.
And I have a much higher comfort level with other forms of paper assets, so pools and etfs of metals are not practical.
Maybe I'd consider a natural resources mutual fund that deals with industrial minerals.
Gold, silver, platinum and even palladium are relatively liquid. They have a wide secondary market that is a two-way street full of buyers and sellers. I'll stick with them.

Yep.

Just take it into any coin shop when you suddenly need money, and listen to them say "HUH???"

All you need is a nuke and some magnets. We got lots of both.

There are about 8 zillion places in the world where you can sell gold and silver bars.
Where would you go to sell a bar of nobilium?

Welcome back! I missed comments like this
Wasn't like the latest/greatest rare metals cachet/discovery in like Montana/Idaho? Dave, lower your nukes I was just there are those folks seemed pretty friendly. MJ
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
<< <i>Type in CMC mint in google - they are giving 15 % for orders of 500 and 22% for 1K or more shipping is a paltry $15 not bad. Look at the trends in the prices. I confess with Obamanation canceling the space program I would expect prices to drop for a bit. Lots of upside I think though over the long term. >>
Let me guess - you work for them?
These are the same guys that state "100 mils .999 fine silver" on their bars (100 mils would be thicker than the bar itself; they apparently mean .100 mils, worth about $.04).
These are the same guys whose 'real' silver bars are as much as 4% underweight, and look 'off'.
And they obviously charge more than 20% over spot, if they can offer a 22% volume discount!
So again, do you work for them?
I'll take 5 of each!

Deterrents, my dear friend, deterrents. Something about the term "mutually assured destruction" has a sweet ring to it.
Most rare-earth elements are man-made.
Edited to add----I think the Chinese people are wonderful. As a broker I had many as clients (Chinese nationals living in the USA) and found them to be well reasoned, logical, kind and peaceful. I do feel for them though as they are used as slaves for the world by a repressive government.

Make sure you file a trip report of your recent excursion. We want to hear all about it. Did you catch any salmon with your bare hands?
I'm posting from 35,000 ft and all looks good below. Disarm, my friend, disarm............MJ

<< <i>Correction: Less than half of REM's are man made. And even those are rare because of what it takes to make them. Magnets and Nukes? Gotta have REM's to make them. >>
Where is the market for these REM's? I can unload $50,000 worth of gold and silver today if I had to. Where do I liquidate 50 large worth of nobiom? Thats the problem here Derry.

Heck, as an established customer you could call me up and sell me your entire gold eagle stash and I would lock you in for delivery here by closing tomorrow.
Call me up and tell my you got some niobium bars that fell off the back of a truck, and I will send you to Maxwell Street!!!!

No shortage of pathology and paranoia on this forum - wow! Lets just make an agreement to revisit the prices in a year and then five and see what things look like. The market is smaller, no doubts but there is a market or they wouldn't mint them. Personally, I'm waiting for the rhodium 1oz coins to be minted. Might even buy my wife a ring of solid rhodium from the company making them which has never been able to be done until just recently. I'll be buying lots of silver on these dips along the way - but a little diversity may pay off well. In the interim, please don't forget your medication for those that need it here. The effective dose might need a little, or lot of tweaking.

I don't see where I advocated the purchase of REM's in this thread. I only pointed out that PM collectors should do some research on them. Their rarity and the fact that they are necessary in a lot of technical applications makes them a good candidate for stock research. 50,000 shares of a nobium producer might not be a bad investment, but only thorough research can verify that. If the price of nobium tripled over the next year, you might not have any trouble at all liquidating 50,000 shares of a nobium producer.

By this logic, I guess there is a market for 100 mil plated silver bars with pictures of marijuana leaves imprinted on them as well. Maybe I should load up on those as well....you know...just to diversify.

Sometimes people have something to say, even if they stop in just to spam. Was looking forward to hearing about his exotic metals. Maybe give someone 15 posts before you make a decision next time
