helium is not a rare Earth element. Rare Earth elements are a group of seventeen specific metallic elements: the fifteen lanthanides (atomic numbers 57 to 71) plus scandium and yttrium. Helium is a noble gas and is a separate element, not included in this classification. While helium is considered an “endangered element” due to its scarcity on Earth and critical applications, this is distinct from being a “rare Earth element” in terms of classification. Helium’s limited availability is due to its production through natural radioactive decay, difficulty in extraction, and escape from the atmosphere due to its light weight and inertness.
, helium is considered a rare and non-renewable commodity on Earth, despite being the second most abundant element in the universe. While it’s abundant in space, helium is scarce on our planet due to its unique properties that cause it to readily escape Earth’s atmosphere. This, coupled with its increasing demand across various industries, makes it a valuable and potentially limited resource. Here’s why helium is considered rare and why its supply is a concern: Formation and Escape: Helium is primarily formed through the radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium in the Earth’s crust. However, once released, its molecules are so light that they escape Earth’s gravity and are lost to space. Limited Terrestrial Sources: Unlike many elements, helium is not readily replenished on Earth. While some helium is found trapped in natural gas deposits, these reserves are limited and often found in specific geographic locations. Growing Demand: Helium has numerous applications in various high-tech industries, including: Healthcare: MRI machines rely on liquid helium for cooling superconducting magnets. Semiconductors: Helium is crucial in the manufacturing of semiconductors and microchips. Aerospace: It’s used in rocket propulsion and other aerospace applications. Scientific Research: Helium is essential for research in fields like quantum mechanics and cryogenics. Other Industries: It’s also used in welding, leak detection, and even party balloons. Supply Chain Vulnerability: The limited and geographically concentrated sources of helium, combined with increasing demand, make the global helium supply chain vulnerable to disruptions. Recent shortages have highlighted the fragility of this supply chain. Price Fluctuations: The combination of limited supply and high demand has led to significant price increases for helium, with some grades costing significantly more than others. In summary, while helium is abundant in the universe, its scarcity on Earth, coupled with its growing use in various high-tech industries, makes it a valuable and potentially limited resource. This has led to concerns about future supply and price volatility. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more
Brought SMMT at 19.75, and VKTX at $26 and TTD at $67.80 and UCIX at $21.20 this morning (vix was closed to lowest for year) ACHR at $9.80– $5k in each stock.
From eTN News: The new security situation in Iran and Israel is not only cancelling flights to these two countries, but also to neighboring countries. It makes travel between the US and Europe, as well as to India and Asia, more difficult. More cancellations and reroutings are expected on many routes worldwide.
Also, if Iran does close the Strait of Hormuz as suggested, the price of Oil will soar higher because up to 20% of global oil supplies take that shipping route.
Nvidia might want to watch its back: Rival chipmaker AMD just unveiled a new batch of AI chips it claims compare to the performance of Nvidia’s Blackwell family while delivering a 35x inference boost over its previous generation. The announcement earned endorsements from OpenAI’s Sam Altman, along with execs from Meta and xAI — a sign that they’re sticking behind AMD’s open-source approach, which lets AI companies mix and match components, keeping costs low.
Credit Spread Warning? Yes, it’s Red Alert for Private Equity lending!
This week, Jamie Dimon warned of looming credit market problems, so I built a Credit Spread Dashboard for my Navigator Report. Additionally, with the Middle East action causing extreme fluctuations in commodity and FX markets, I also built dashboards for these markets.
Addressing Dimon’s credit market remarks:
HY-Treasury spread has risen from 460 → 520 bps over 3 weeks — flashing a red alert.
IG-Treasury spread moved from 130 → 165 bps — entering warning territory.
Regarding Forex:
DXY (USD Index) is trending higher, confirming global dollar strength.
USD/JPY is rising steadily — Japan’s central bank remains dovish.
EUR/USD is declining — showing euro weakness versus the dollar.
USD/CAD declined — CAD slightly stronger or USD cooling.
GBP/USD has risen — showing moderate pound strength.
I have been building the tools necessary to support my plan to provide daily video reports, something I have never done before.

Hello baz22. What made you buy more maxn today? I bought a decent amount a while ago based on your recommendation. After doubling my money……you suggested taking my profit and playing with house money. But I’m a greedy greedy man and let it ride…..lol…….oops. after not listening to you I’m down 60%. What information are you trading with. Seems to me there is not a chance maxn will get their loan. Or do you sense cbp will allow product to cross the border. Currently I hold maxn, edit, bcrx, and mux. I think mux will have an incredible year
Moreso on contrary… Their supply chain reroute is coming around… Also, they go utility scale and their only true competition is FSLR … Plus, they make the best panels around.. charts are nice
Took my good profit from KLTO and put into RGTI this pm….. Remember, Quantinuum, just closed a $ billion quantum supply deal with Qatar…….with the ( today ) completed $ 350 million at-the-market offering for RGTI, something big is cooking
Finally I paid $2.77 and brought 2000 KLTO also brought more SNPX, I have to call fidelity to find out why I can not buy stock like MAXN and few other, may be it has to do with crypto???. my last SPY trade was stop out and lost little, I think SPY is going higher so will stay away from that trade for a while, Have lost of cash but afraid to buy any,– all stock are too high
Additionally, RFK Jr’s decision to fire all 17 members of the vaccine advisory council is a wise move. He says they were all conflicted. However, most of what we see these days with the government and its agencies is conflicted. How did RFK Jr or any of the other cabinet members get their jobs? The public didn’t vote them in, and as we know, Trump is the most transactional US president in history.
Your post on saturday for KLTO did not help me. I had a buy order for 5000 on monday and it open so high I got nothing, now it is at $1.47, it close friday at $0.20 and my order was for $0.22., last year on June 9th 2024 it close at $1.70 I may still buy it, will give it time to cool down. Baz–miss the dam stock???
… I had posted, and bought , a few weeks ago ( same range as Friday ) , and gave a brief summary then..Yes, I added today… Could this be One of the most important clinicals in our lifetime?… There’s a decent chance.. ** I wasn’t kidding about the $ 125.00 My guess is they’ll do an offering – but it may just rocket event more There’s only around 32 million shares out
SMCX. I have 200 0f them, got in very cheap few month ago at $ 25, I sold SMCX Dec-19-2025 $50 CALL for $14.50. two of them, when I look at it I was confuse, is it real???. But I got the money sold call on SMCI.SOXL I am not posing everything,

Treasury yields falling today is a war-related and temporary phenomenon.
Long-term, wartime is the only time in history you can count on inflation and higher yields.
Globalization has altered that dynamic somewhat due to supply chains that geopolitical events outside of wartime can disrupt.
But the Israeli strike against Iran (250 bombers and 330 major bombs) has caused a rush of money to safe havens, including Treasuries and Gold.
