- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:32 PM Molycorp (MCP) says CEO Mark Smith has resigned; no explanation is offered. Board vice chairman Constantine Karayannopoulos is named interim president and chief executive. Shares -6.3% AH. 12 Comments [Breaking News, Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:00 PM Molycorp (MCP +5.8%) posts its second straight strong gain, as the picture grows brighter: Large stockpiles of rare earths are finally starting to dwindle, and top competitor Lynas is undergoing regulatory problems with Malaysia's government. How much higher can MCP climb? Oracle's Laurence Balter has a $50 price target, but shares still would be shy of their 2011 summer high near $7. 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 3:19 PM Lynas' (LYSCF.PK, LYSDY.PK) plans to ramp up rare earth materials via its new Malaysian plant suffer a setback, as four ministers say it must export waste material in Malaysia or risk having its operating license revoked. The ministers' statement followed reports citing Lynas Malaysia's director as saying the company would not export residue from the plant. MCP +19.8%, AVL +10%, REE +9.5%. 7 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 11:35 AM Molycorp (MCP +15.7%) soars, taking the rest of the rare earth sector with it (AVL +6.2%, REE +11%, REMX +1.7%). Traders describe the move as the continuation of a short squeeze in Molycorp - whose shares dropped below 6 in mid-November after being in the mid-30s 7 months earlier. Adding fuel is a report Interactive Brokers has said there is insufficient stock available for short sales. 11 Comments [On the Move, Commodities]

Top 10 Losers: KITD -64%. PTGI -17%. SGOC -12%. HDSN -9%. TELK -9%. SAB -8%. HRT -8%. NFEC -8%. THQI -7%.

- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 10:21 AM Molycorp (MCP -2.2%) moves lower again after Morgan Stanley downgrades shares to Equal Weight following Friday's disclosure of a formal order of SEC investigation. While it's possible the worst case scenario already is priced in, the firm says uncertainty surrounding the issue and the possibility that it will take some time to resolve leads to the downgrade. 6 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Monday, November 12, 2012, 10:18 AM After slumping 13% Friday on disclosure of a SEC investigation, Molycorp (MCP -9%) continues lower today. Dahlman Rose also notes MCP reported a $150M increase in capital expenditures; the firm sees 2013 as a transitional year, where cash management and project execution will be crucial in unlocking the value of Mountain Pass without the need for additional capital. 10 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 11:38 AM Molycorp (MCP -4.4%) resumes trading after a brief halt, as an SEC filing discloses an SEC investigation regarding the accuracy of disclosures of certain sales of stock by officers, directors and private equity firms, as well as certain corporate acquisitions during 2011. 7 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 9:42 AM Molycorp (MCP +3.8%) is upgraded to Buy from Hold at Dahlman Rose, which sees long-term value through its planned 400% production ramp-up at the high-grade Mountain Pass and its ownership of key downstream facilities. Rare Element (REE +1.2%) also rises even as the firm cuts shares to Hold on valuation, as China's Baotou Steel suspends production for a month to try to stem falling rare earth prices. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 9:49 AM Ford (F) says it’s cutting consumption of rare earths used in its hybrid and electric cars by 500K lbs./year and will save hundreds of dollars per car in the process. But shares of rare-earth leader Molycorp (MCP +5.6%) shoot higher anyway, adding to gains a day after China announced a 40% cut in the number of permits to mine rare earths. REE +5.7%, AVL +4.5%. 8 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 11:38 AM Molycorp (MCP +4.8%) shares rip higher on a report that China is reducing rare earth mining licenses by 40%. The number of licenses had been 113, according to Securities Journal. The news is seen as positive for companies holding existing licenses as future competition may now be limited. Also on the move: REE +3.4%, AVL +2.6%. 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 12:04 PM Molycorp (MCP +4.5%) has enjoyed substantial recent insider purchases, according to Insider Monkey. Director Ross Bhappu’s Resource Capital bought 2.5M shares at an average $10/share, CEO Mark Smith directly purchased 50K shares, and the company’s CFO and another board member also added shares. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 9:41 AM Molycorp (MCP +4.3%) continues its recent rise after shares are upgraded to Buy from Hold at Gabelli, which cites the recent financing to provide liquidity through H1 2013 and hitting milestones to get Phase 1 production online on time and on budget. Although rare earth prices remain weak, the firm says much of the risk already is reflected in the share price. 4 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]

[On the Move] - Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 3:44 PM Molycorp (MCP +13%) is among today's top gainers on news that its California facility had begun to produce heavy rare-earth concentrate from freshly mined ore and is on track to achieve full Phase 1 production rates in Q4. But Paul Ausick reminds that by next year, the supply of rare earths will more than double the amount now on the market, and some companies are developing substitutes. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
