America's Rare Earth Reckoning Could Create a New Strategic Powerhouse

As the Pentagon’s 2027 ban on Chinese-origin rare earth materials moves closer, REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) is locking down exclusive control of the biggest heavy rare earth metallization systems outside of China. The company says its $20.6 million investment into the Saskatchewan Research Council’s (SRC) rare earth processing facility in Saskatoon secures exclusive preferred rights to up to 80% of expanded production capacity — including commercial-scale NdPr, dysprosium, and terbium output that “n

Late To The Storage Unit Game?

I've owned retail businesses for a little over 20 years. The last three in particular have been very good to us. I was happy (and a bit lazy) when MMAs were in the upper 4% range as a stop gap until we figured out what moves to actually make. I'm thinking about buying my first storage unit business but worried I am late to the game. Some things options look good on paper but after I got a couple books on from 5+ years ago it makes me worry savvy investors have already scooped up any real deals.

Why America’s Gas Power Boom Could End in Disaster

There are over 100 new gas fired power stations under construction in the US. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that domestic gas demand will rise 6% next year as some of those new plants enter commercial operation. All we can say is this is not likely to be a blip but rather a new, higher, demand baseline. These new gas power plants are designed to last more than thirty years. As we’ve said before, this is the transition in central station power generation that the US util

Buy the pure dip season??

Damn, tech and telecom took a massive beating today, nasdaq down almost a full percent and s&p leaking. honestly? looks like a textbook overreaction.
