The rare earth market has been a wild one last 6 months, I’ve been doing some speculative plays primarily with Molycorp and other players. Lots of investment going on in response to China moves, first restricting exports to Japan, now cracking down on illegal dirty mines. China is a pollution basket case if you haven’t been recently.
Good to have downside protection, as with all the investment in mining in places like Brazil, will there be a rare earth glut in a year or two? I wonder what impact there will be impact of electric vehicle growth will be certain rare earth commodities. They say not all rare earths are created equal. I’m hearing China industrial policy may go big on electric and plug in electric vehicles. By mandating certain percentage of all vehicles to be electric, say 25%, they can leapfrog the West and Japan with clean energy vehicles and simultaneously help clean up their pathetically polluted cities. Last i heard China controls more that 95% rare earth production. The Japanese have been frantically scrambing to lock up alternative suppliers. More cars have been sold in China that US last 2 years now. Some interesting trends going on impacting the rare earth commodity market.

I find this stuff fascinating.

Anti-trust regulators are gonna take a hard look at is.

There is a good chance that this won’t go through. This deal is bad for consumers as AT&T will have too much market power.

Average cell phone plans have only been going up. Verizon and AT&T will have unnaturally strong market power and although you may not be able to prove collusion, they do seem to do alot of signalling. The next operator will be distant third in terms of market share.

Ma Bell seems to be slowly but surely reconstituting itself according to that picture.

Text messaging is great…also highest profit margin service. It consumes very little bandwidth, yet some operators charge outrageous fees for overage or any unlimited plan over paltry few hundred message/ month plans.

Cell phones have become essential tools in everyday life, I don’t like getting ripped off.

By the way, some great realty apps on iPhone and android.

Location specific mapping stuff is great. Drive past a house and get full listing and pictures etc.

New barcode QR reader showing up alot, scan the barcode (really your cell phone camera) and pull up full listing details. I saw the QR barcodes in last Sunday’s UT realty section.

Realtor and Zillow apps my favorites. Any other good mobile realty apps?

Japan has the best earthquake prep in the world. If this happens here we are hosed.

You won’t be able to depend on a completely overwhelmed public safety system.
