<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Promo, post: 1995037, member: 72204&quot;]Would it be wise to invest in rare earth minerals now? Rare earth minerals are used in high-tech manufacturing of such products as batteries, glass, green technology and electronics. Recently the prices for the rare earths had increased due to China&#039;s increasing restrictions on exports to other countries such as Japan and the United States. And that also includes the fact that China has a huge monopoly on rare earths accounting over 90% of the world&#039;s supply! I know that Molycorp is restarting the California mine and other countries are finding alternative sources, but how much can be attained compared to China&#039;s? Can a shortage occur in the near future that would devastate world economies? Would recycling the end products such as computers and other electronics be more cost-efficient and a more viable solution? </p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to hear some of your thoughts about this growing problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
