Well, a US government think tank wrote a 200-page report – these are the top professors, the top scientists, the top economists coming together – anticipating a supply shortfall in certain basic elements.

H: We are watching Lynas carefully because we think it may serve as a bellwether for the whole rare earths sector. Since April 2011, and the delays with receiving that temporary operating license to begin the commencement of refining rare earths, Lynas has had a nice bounce. Last time it did this sort of reversal from a downtrend, it made a very large gain.
TCMR: So, are you saying you're long on Lynas?
JH: Yes I am. But we have to remember that a temporary operating license to refine rare earths under certain conditions doesn't automatically mean the sky's the limit. There may be a response through the sector. Other companies may realize that the rare earths and Lynas can get to a state of eventual cash flow as a pioneering model for the whole rare earth sector.
