  • Can Obama Transition the Democratic Party to an Economic-Growth Party? [View article]
    The leveraged buyouts were difficult on workers and, as it turned out, not helpful to the continuation of the 1980s boom. I suspect they were one of the factors behind the 1987 stock market crash. A wikipedia article titled "Private equity in the 1980s" is a good quick description of what went on back then.

  • The Morning After in Washington: Republicans Now Co-Responsible for Economy [View article]
    I used to live on the California coast. When I moved to an inland valley many years ago my friends acted as though I moved to Siberia.
    Chuckling at the memory.

    Well, that is just tough, Fran. If you paid attention to the government you might catch on to what they are up to.
    If you have a beef with them write to Congressman Coffman of Colorado about his rare earths bill.

    They made some specific recommendations a couple of days ago right before the election when hardly anybody was paying attention. They did not indicate any cuts regarding waste in defense, unfortunately.

    Maybe that is how Nevada will recover from the recession.

    For a government standpoint, you might start by reading the bill in Congress called H.R. 4866 Rare Earths Supply Chain Technology and Resources Transformation Act. The Pentagon's Office of Industrial Policy will make decisions having some impact on the industry.

    Ucore's Bokan Mountain Mining District has the added advantage of being next to the deep water channel of Kendrick Bay. This will facilitate the ease of shipping the ores. The existing roads in the area are due to uranium mining from some decades back. Since the mining district faces the southeast portion of Prince of Wales Island, it should not have more than a slight noticeable impact on the South Prince of Wales Wilderness covering the southwest part of the island on the other side of some forested ridges.

  • New Rare Earth Metals ETF Off to a Running Start [View article]
    Since the ETF is much more broadly based than any of the small company stocks, the ETF can work as a hedge when concurrently investing in any of those stocks. Some of the stocks are not pure plays in rare earths in any case.

  • New Rare Earth Metals ETF Off to a Running Start [View article]
    Bloomberg reported yesterday that Molycorp applied for loan guarantees from the Dept. of Defense Office of Industrial Policy to help expedite the reopening of the Mountain Pass Mine.
    It will be interesting to see what the military decides to do about this rare earths supply situation.

  • Russia, The Sick BRIC [View article]
    The history book "1492" authored by Felipe Fernandez- Armesto explains the significance of Novgorod and Muscovy. When Muscovy under Ivan III the Great took over the Novgorod Republic in 1478, it enabled access to the rich lands of sable to the northeast paving the way for expansion into Siberia, enabled encroachment on western lands inviting conflict with Sweden and Poland and enabled a sense of confidence for refusing any more tribute to the Mongols in 1480. The rise of Russia dates from 1478.

  • Why America Must Focus on Domestic Energy Solutions Instead of Imports [View article]
    To clarify:
    Primm is located in the central part of the Mojave Desert.
    Blythe is located in the transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Colorado and Sonoran Deserts.
    These are areas of intense solar radiation.

    A couple of new solar plants just got approved this month for construction. These would be:
    Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System located off of Interstate 15 at the Yates Well Interchange by the Primm Valley Golf Club close to the Nevada state line at Primm.
    Blythe Solar Power Project located near the Mesa Drive interchange on Interstate 10 by the Blythe Airport a few miles west of Blythe and the Arizona state line.

  • The End of Oil's Golden Age [View article]
    China is having financing dealings with Russia for developing coal mines in eastern Siberia. Railroads will be built from the new mines so that coal could be exported to power plants in northern China.
