Trump and Xi Views on Rare Earths Deal Differ, Trade Expert Says

“The biggest thing is the US ability to import intermediate goods that contain Chinese rare earths, and these especially flow through Japan and South Korea. The US imports more of these as embodied materials than they do directly. So that’s really where the real threat is.”

“The defense sector is incredibly exposed. They’re not going to advertise this publicly, but this is the reality.”

In 2025, China significantly escalated its control over the global rare earth magnet supply chain by introducing strict export restrictions.

I have a question
do you guys ever take B12 through IV for energy and stamina?
I take it every six month, B12 plus mineral through IV and it takes an hours for it to go through,
I call local clinician and he come to our home to administer it it cost me $200 per his visit
My primary doctor is aware of it
Thanks

Chris

ChatGPT spit out the following…
🧪 What the Research Says:

  • No strong evidence that IV B12 boosts stamina, athletic performance, or energy in non-deficient individuals.
  • Effects people feel (like a short-term boost) may be due to placebo, hydration from the IV, or other added ingredients (e.g., in “Myers’ cocktails”).

🩺 Bottom Line:

  • Legit for treating deficiency or medical conditions
  • Overhyped as an energy boost for healthy people
  • If you feel chronically tired, it’s better to test your B12 levels before considering an IV

When will shareholder lawsuits start against POTUS? Trump starting to single out specific companies and doing damage to stock prices. Apple is the latest target.

There is no “Maturity Wall” 101.
Though this is a myth you may not be relieved by this thread.

Have you seen the doomer charts about the maturity wall of US Debt. It is a clear signal that you should unfollow those who post it. It usually starts with 9TN of debt comes due.

I have been selling my stocks as the market has come back. I am just very worried about who is running the ship here. I’m trying to grasp how we ended up in crazy town. I am not anti-republican. But everyday it feels like things are getting more unstable and off the rails. Today, “Trump Appoints Fox News’s Judge Jeanine Pirro To US Attorney’s Office In DC” When you see decisions like this happening all the time, you have to really ask yourself whether this is the guy that should be in charge of world economic order. I just don’t have the stomach for it anymore. I am selling the market so I can sleep at night. This will be my last post about it. Stay safe out there.

Big news on UK trade deal…So what, complete non issue. The great leader needs to get to work on something that matters. He needs to get moving on this China trade or he is going to have a lot of very unhappy people other than me. Not that I do not understand the premise, just being handled in the most incompetent way. Hard for me to grasp the stupidity of it.

Ukraine’s $500 billion rare earths scam: they don’t exist, and we should know better
Back to Washington then, where nobody in the mining industry, and even in the mining industry in the Ukraine, believes that Ukraine has huge reserves of rare earths. So industry insiders are perplexed with this $500 billion number that is thrown around now, and that Ukraine will sign a deal to pledge these vast reserves – which don’t exist – in exchange for debt forgiveness for everything up to now, and a blank check going forward. Ukraine doesn’t have it.

But let’s pretend they did. All the rare-earth production on the planet totals $15 billion per year. And let’s pretend, further, that Ukraine magically created 20% of the world’s rare earths and could be pulling them out of the ground starting right now. Ukraine’s output would be $3 billion a year, which divided into $500 billion is 166 years.
