Question:- can some of the happy Lynas shareholders tell me what happens on 30 June 2018, if Lynas current operating performance continues.
Another question:- will the Japanese lenders be as generous if the Japanese have an alternative non-China based supplier of Pd/Nd.
Sentiment: I rate Lynas a strong SELL.
