In my opinion, any serious investor who does not have a presence in the rare element sector is really missing out on building significant wealth. Just as the world cannot run without oil (not just for energy but in the manufacture of products, i.e., every car tire has a gallon of oil) the conversion of our world from analog to digital over the past 30 years puts rare earth elements in the same category. Without REEs, the world stops.

The WTO recently ruled against China regarding its practice of restricting exports of raw materials. While China will no doubt appeal the decision, this will only delay things. In the interim many manufacturers are unfornately moving their manufacturing to China, where their technology will be stolen, How sad for the US.
