    Keep an eye on MCP as well. They are the only two rare earth plays on US exchanges that I am aware of. China controls 97% of rare earths and has put a big limit on exports trying to get foreign companies to set up shop in China to process them.

    Been watching them both. Determined they'd both risen too much to be a bargain. That was %%%%%% ago image

    Molycorp (MCP) just dropped $6 in a matter of minutes. $55 to $49. This is a news driven, momentum traded and heavily shorted stock. Trade it at your own peril............MJ

    Ya, but that's past tense. Since, it was mentioned by you today so one could only buy it today. People should know the risk/reward. It can go down A LOT in a hurry. It can go up more as well. If smoeone bought this today at $55 or $53 they hate rare earth.

    I also own MCP cheap..................MJ

    Mentioned it here when it was below $35

    I'll also mention ETF REMX which seems to lag MCP and REE. Might not be too late to jump in.

    fc mentioned it a year ago, and there have been a few articles on Kitco, etc for the past few months. I'm in MJ's camp. Trade it if you think you know the market, but geez - if you don't know the market, aren't you jumping in with the sharks somewhat randomly?

    Rare Earth...one of my favorite bands from the '70's. They were the 2nd all-white band member band to sign with Motown. Can you name the 1st without looking it up anywhere?

    I know, who cares? Just thought they were pretty bad asre for the time.

    An IRA is long term for most people (not myself) and there really is no long term market safety. Current events show nothing to be "safe" in the long term, especially in light of the fact that Wall Street has turned investing into gambling. Might as well step up to the table and roll them dice yourself. image

    Why did they go up so much in the past couple days?
  • derrybderryb Posts: 36,993 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Why did they go up so much in the past couple days? >>


    Take your pick

    Mainly because China currently controls over 95% of production and is squeezing the market with export limitations in an effort to get buyers to open shop in China to process their purchases. The rush is on to explore and extract elsewhere. US demand is highlighted by military use of the rare earths in "national defence" weaponry and technology. This will surely result in "cost is not an issue" as far as US government consumption is concerned.
