Ucore Rare Metals Marches Closer To Production On Alaskan Bond Approval

Ucore Rare Metals Marches Closer To Production On Alaskan Bond Approval
Attention must be paid to the heavy rare earth sectors which is dominated by the Chinese. Tensions are increasing between the West (US, Europe and Japan) and the East (China and Russia) over trade, territories and natural resources. No where is this more apparent than in the rare earth metals. These metals are critical for our high tech military applications, permanent magnets and green energy. The U.S. imports close to 100% of this material from China. This may soon change as the Alaskan Legislature unanimously approved a $145 million bond which will allow Alaska to issue bonds for Ucore Rare Metals (UCU.V or UURAF) Bokan Heavy Rare Earth Deposit. All 38 Alaskan representatives in attendance voted in favor of the bill which would allow Alaska to fund the infrastructure and capital costs at the mine.

Why Niocorp (NB.V or NIOBF) Is Soaring Over 230% in 2014
Niocorp is soaring 230% in 2014 and has reached a short term overbought condition. New investors should look for a healthy pullback or consolidation to the 20 or 50 day moving averages.

Palladium Breaks $800 As Economic Sanctions Stifle Russian Miners

Palladium Breaks $800 As Economic Sanctions Stifle Russian Miners
For weeks, I warned you that palladium was on the verge of a breakout past $800. Now it is hitting new two year highs as the U.S. threatens Russia, the world's largest supplier of this precious and industrial metal used to control pollution from automobiles. In addition, strikes from miners in South Africa, the second biggest palladium producer is putting strain on the supply side. Demand for automobiles is growing most notably from China who needs palladium desperately to reduce toxic air emissions in their smog filled urban areas. Demand is exceeding supply now for several years.

Why These 2 NYSE Gold Producers are Buying This Junior During a Bear Market

Why These 2 NYSE Gold Producers are Buying This Junior During a Bear Market
Gold is gaining strength as it may soon close above the 50 day after reversing above the 200 day moving average after falling below that level last week. That may have been a shakeout of weak hands below the 200 day as it appears in 2014 money has been moving from the overbought equity market into the undervalued commodities in the form of junior miners. Look for a close above the 50 day at $1310. Investors may be preparing for the eventual reinflation, which may have been sparked by Yellen's taper. The U.S. dollar and general equity market appears to be forming a rounding top while gold, silver and the junior miners are seeing increased accumulation a higher lows typical of new bull market moves. The key now is asset preservation in a rising interest rate, inflationary environment. I still believe gold, silver and the industrial metals specifically PGM's, nickel and uranium could soar. These are the areas that I believe are the safest to be when interest rates are negative and when Central Banks are continuing to fire up the printing press engines. The overbought social media and marijuana stocks with no earnings could be just beginning to bust. Look at all the IPO's in social media and pot stocks reminding us of the Dot.Com craze. While these stocks come back to earth the junior miners could actually soar as The Fed may have to reverse their taper moves and actually increase quantitative easing to deal with the aftermath of the tech/marijuana bubble bursting.
