Underpriced Rare Earth Metals From China Have Created A Supply Crisis

December 6, 2009

Analysis of:Chinese pay toxic price for a green world | www.timesonline.co.uk

China has a policy of predatory pricing, which has allowed it to gain monopoly control over some strategic natural resources such as the rare earth metals. The policy has now backfired as the low revenues to Chinese producers have deprived them of the investment funds they need to not only expand production but also to maintain the production they have.The result is a massive Chinese environmental problem, which threatens all by itself to cut non Chinese end users off from their only supply.

September 10, 2009

Analysis of:Italian Government Reaches Union Agreement on Fiat’s CNH Plant | www.bloomberg.com

Italian Labor law is so inflexible about layoffs and forget the future of the plant in Imola if it invovles permanent closure. Italy, behind Spain , is one of the most socialistic countries when it come to labor law giving no flexibility whatsoever to industry in manoeuvering during difficult times, that is while Fiat CEO is scanning the globe and is in bed with Chrysler , not only for high cost production , but also for labor inflexibility.
