| N/A | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Markets: Graphite is the next big boom in terms of metals. Requirement for graphite is for lithium ion batteries, which will power cars of the future. 75% of graphite is from china but are restricting exports. Prices are climbing and use of graphite is growing. Graphine is the strongest material known to mankind – 200 times tougher than titanium. It will raise the profile of Graphite going forward. | 2012-01-17 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Uranium: There are two sides to every coin and in the uranium sector that is the case. Give the state of the global economy, soft landing in China, US and Europe, when it comes to nuclear power plants which are multi-billion dollar projects, they have to be guaranteed by sovereign debt. Given what happened in Japan, we can see a worst case scenario. On the positive side, nuclear power is evolving and becoming safer and less capital intensive and are using less uranium, so his outlook for uranium is not that positive. | 2012-01-17 | ||
