China's Currency Valuation Change and the Rare Earth Mining Sector

June 19, 2010

Analysis of:China Signals a Gradual Rise in Value of Its Currency | www.nytimes.com

China, today, June 19, 2010, announced that its national currency, the renminbi, will from now on be linked to the value of a "basket" of currencies rather than "just" the US dollar. Rare earth mining entrepreneurs outside of China will tell you that this is now a reason to buy into their ventures or to support IPOs for them. But I think there is another side to the coin. One that should give investors looking at the rare earth mining sector pause.

March 10, 2010

In August 2009, I have contributed an analysis and predicted that EADS is in for hard time in the next couple of years and here it is, the Euro 1.5B net profit in 2008 was turned into a net loss of Euro 763M and the cancellation of dividend, an extreme measure for a European /government owned company. The worse is yet to come as the company speeds ups production and invades its backlog.

March 8, 2010

I wrote my analysis in January commenting on a company that did violated a Federal law of plant closure and the obligation of its Directors and Officers to exercise prudence in care and loyalty ot the various stakeholder,but as the regulators state now, this is a Chapter 7 filing without a precedent where the company assets and Liabilities are unknown, & no officers appeared in court or offered any explanation and where the secured lenders were defrauded..its sounds more than chapter 7.

Before a single Volt is sold to a real customer off of a showroom floor GM is announcing again that they are going to expand their offerings of this "extended range" hybrid powertrain in a Cadillac this time rather than as a Buick or as a Saturn the time before.I have a simple question for GM to answer before anyone at all buys a Volt.
