<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 808604, member: 21603&quot;]There is a lot of talk about commodities, rare earth in particular, that will run out over time.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen a chart of when they think these commodities will run out.&nbsp; I&#039;m not so sure I buy into that 100%.&nbsp; For one thing, there are plenty of places on Earth where nobody has explored, or nobody wants to explore.&nbsp; For instance, how many companies are exploring in the Congo?&nbsp; How many companies want or can explore in Venezuela?&nbsp; These are just examples.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there might be even more remote places that companies just don&#039;t want to go or be.&nbsp; So, what rare earths exist in these countries is anybodies guess.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for rare Earths, there are a lot of emerging economies in the world.&nbsp; You don&#039;t get a urban civilization without the use of energy.&nbsp; At present, it is commodities that provide that energy, in the form of coal, or natural gas, and metals such as copper to deliver it.&nbsp; Could this change in the future?&nbsp; You bet it can.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure how long you have to 65, but I think rare earths in general will be a good investment, at least for the next 10 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
