If by "informed people" you mean rampers - they have sold their shares and moved on. The good news is that you can be an informed person yourself. Just do a bit of googling around and see what you come up with. Try to view the result from a neutral perspective - as though you didn't own the shares yourself. Thinking and researching for yourself is a little bit more difficult but a lot more profitable in the long run.

Here is an example. It sort of makes you wonder whether the whole thing isn't just an attempt by a member of the yachting classes to cash out at the peak of a cycle, doesn't it?


Tungsten: Prices are slipping on increasing supply

Tungsten prices are sliding slightly this month to an average $11.88/lb from improved supply, after averaging $12.49 in the domestic market for the past 10 months. For the 10 months before that, when supply was very tight, tungsten prices averaged $13.40/lb.

This month's slippage is being pinned to recent reduced metalworking activity by the automotive, appliance and machinery industries.

Looking ahead, tungsten prices may slip further since new supplies of tungsten concentrate are entering the world market, as expected, from new production facilities in the U.S., Peru, Australia, Canada, China, Spain, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

A North American supply executive recently told industry publication Metal Bulletin that, "We're seeing a lot of new capacity coming online, and there's just an awful lot of stuff out there today. The spot market will have no choice but to adjust to more realistic supply levels."
