China crop went to CRAP last year..and TRUMP had new trade agreements with them for more purchases..... WUHAN is coming to a close and the Chinks are starting to buy scrap for increase production of goods.  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

There are drift veins of the rare earth metals of note in the old lead and zinc mines in MO Just cannot reopen the mines as EPA ruled no. More politics than not. |

My suspicion is speculation, and/or markets manipulation to bolster the Biden debut. But that is just a guess ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

There are old lead and zinc mines in SW WI where I grew up. I wonder if there is any rare earth there. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |
