<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1150200, member: 15199&quot;]Assuming you mean PM stocks, those that I consider mature and dependent on the world price of gold, I usually watch the technical charts closely during the market and use options, so I can buy/sell them quickly. For those that are not yet to mature producing mines, I generally buy the shares on a long term idea based on estimated resources, or option leaps such as for Jan 2012 or 2013.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently none of the rare earth mines outside of China are producing ( and they intend to use it internally), but should in the next year, so the price tends to reflect such, once you get through the hype. Rare earths are needed for almost all modern electronic devices, especially industrial magnets such as used in electric car motors.They can however, produce Thorium and other slightly radioactive waste products in processing( One of China&#039;s problems they don&#039;t recognize), so processing may be a problem. Lynas ( Australian) is going to ship the ore to Malaysia, Molycorp (US) has purchased a processing plant in Estonia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
