The United States once dominated global production and has a large deposit in Mountain Pass, California, at a mine owned by Molycorp (MCP:$47.40,00$-2.0400,-4.13%) . But in the 1990s, China, which also has large deposits, began flooding the market and sending prices tumbling. Between 1990 an
[14:55] {RonS} Between 1990 and 2006, the average price of rare earth metals fell about 75 percent.
[14:56] {RonS} Production at Molycorp's (MCP:$47.40,00$-2.0400,-4.13%) mine, which was once owned by a unit of the oil company Chevron Corp (CVX:$91.179,0$1.0590,1.18%) , stopped in 2002, in part because of the price collapse. The shutdown has increased the rarity of these metals, and China's export quotas have further tightened supplies, but the U.S. Geological Survey says

[15:15] {Threei} that reminds me famous Lenin's phrase
[15:15] {Threei} to unite we need to separate first
[15:16] {RonS} ...sounds like an ex-wife to me...
[15:17] {RonS} generically speaking...

[15:32] {Threei} and if he didn't feel like finding an excuse, he didn't bother to look for one
[15:32] {RonS} hehe...in that period he was just getting warmed up...
