With the Greeks looking more likely—and willing--to leave the euro behind with each passing day, the mood in the Eurozone is changing…

The civil unrest, financial hardship, political paralysis, and bank runs in Greece are certainly helping to shape opinions about the wisdom of the austerity policies in the Eurozone.

And the mood swing in Europe is definitely swinging away from austerity, which is quite understandable.

So far, all austerity has done in Greece is cause deflation and riots...and not just in Greece but most of the Eurozone…

Now many are open to a different approach, which is the pursuit of “growth” by adding more debt, following the US lead.

What’s really behind this mood swing and how serious is it?

And honestly, just how important is Greece to the rest of the Eurozone?

First of all, it is serious…pro-austerity leaders are being thrown out of office throughout the Eurozone. There have been 7 leaders ousted this year so far…

The latest casualty, of course, being Nicolas Sarkozy of France.

Sarkozy was an ally of the austerity plans that are in play and wreaking havoc in much of Europe, including Greece.

Europeans are scared

And to be fair, the austerity plans have been so painful in Greece that the social fabric of the country is being ripped apart live and in color on a daily basis in the 24/7news cycle.

That’s not to say that spending cuts and deficit reduction are not necessary for recovery at some point, because, in fact, they are.

But that process has to be managed over a much longer period of time. Greece is experiencing what’s known as a hard landing; its entire way of life is all but over. Poverty is rampant, with violence and barter on the rise. It is doubtful that Greece can remain a functioning and open society for too much longer under such duress…

Even though absurd levels of debt in the Greek government caused the mess in Greece, the political and social disaster that we see there today stems from the pace and depth of the austerity measures…

Greece is finding out that trying to balance its books through austere cuts and high interest payments is a cure that is just as dangerous as the disease. It is politically untenable to stay on that path right now.

On the flip side, their reliance upon debt has crippled the private sector and warped the public sector so that neither can work without more money coming into the system.

To put it politely, the Greeks are between a rock and a hard place.

Expecting austerity to be fruitful as the Greek economy rapidly deflates is not realistic…

And the result—Greece’s meltdown—is what people in Spain, Italy, and even France are seeing. And they know that it can--and may well--happen in their countries, too.

Quite frankly, the people in the Eurozone are scared. And they are voting against their pro-austerity leaders as much as they are voting against social disintegration. To them, they are one and the same.

But wait, how does this solve the debt problem? Greece’s debt were already discounted 70% or more…

Won’t Eurozone banks fail if they default again? Won’t other PIIGS nations also default as well?

The answer lies in what the European Central Bank (ECB) and other institutions are willing and able to do. The US supports the new French President’s stimulus based anti-austerity policy…but has yet to see what he proposes to fix the basic problem of huge debts and public burden.

Germans fear isolation

Another mood swing underway in the Eurozone comes from Berlin. It’s no secret that the German-French austerity alliance is over. And without France, Germany is isolated; and even with France, Germany is still well above France economically and diplomatically. The Germans have been calling the shots on austerity and taking cover behind the French while doing so. Mr. Hollande, France’s new socialist president, has put an end to that.

So now the Germans are alone in the Eurozone. Not only are they the largest economy in the Zone, but also, they are the only country that is not in recession. In fact the German economy has grown over 2% year over year. Greece, by comparison, saw its economy crater by 7% in the 4th quarter alone.

Guess who’s not popular again?

That’s why German Chancellor Merkel’s mood is moving away from austerity…there is no other choice from political viewpoint in the Eurozone. She has no allies. However, domestically, it is not popular for Germans to pay the bills for the rest of the Eurozone.

How’s that for a dilemma?

The fact is, a political solution has to be found, or Greece’s unrest will be only the beginning.

But it is also true that a financial solution must be found, or the euro will fail. As it is, with 30% of the Eurozone GDP and positive growth, Germany is already a giant surrounded by weaker, bankrupt economies.

Add in the rise of extreme right political parties and the Eurozone starts to look like 1933 Europe…

The harsh reality is that things may not be fixable at all in the Eurozone as the mood turns nasty…

What then?

We all know how long a foul mood in Europe can last, don’t we?

And those are…The Gorrie Details.

Dear Reader,

This private blog was written on Sunday night ... When you read it, you'll see the power of the OVI and using it with breakouts. Since the blog was written the markets have behaved as expected.

Sell in May?

Well the charts look bearish, the OVI looks bearish and the count of flags looks bearish.

On the other hand the S&P is sitting at a key support level that could bounce back up. My hunch right now is that a break of support is likely, but for how long I'm unsure. This is why we have a trading plan that we stick to. If we're right, all well and good. If we're wrong we either don't get hurt at all, or at worst it's only a blip.

SPY

The short would only be if March's low is breached, but I'd recommend a tight stop. Notice the OVI has been negative for all but one day since the beginning of April. In simple terms it means that options traders have been rather bearish on the S&P during this time. The high was achieved on the first trading day in April, so you have to give credit to the options traders and the OVI for getting it right - because we're now forming a bear flag (or reverse cup and handle) at an important support level.

OVI Dashboard

The count for bear flags is now significantly higher than for bull flags. A few weeks ago I highlighted that our indicators were suggesting bearishness to come, as the numbers seemed to be changing for the worse, and we were right on the mark with that too.

While AAPL is looking more vulnerable than for a long time, AMZN has held up remarkably well and not filled its gap ... well not yet anyway. Some folks believe AAPL's next move is to buy a bank and effectively attach it to iTunes. Who knows about that, but in order to sustain its incredible run it does need to add new products that capture the imagination. Television sets seems a possibility. I only know that my TV sets have way too many confusing controls on the remote, and I still don't know what to do sometimes. So one simple and superior solution would grab me now that I'm in the iWorld!

AAPL

AMZN

A quick look at some other stocks in our "OVI Express40" within the OVI Traders Club. Many of these stocks are seeing bear flag and support levels being breached, where typically the OVI has shown a negative reading well in advance.

Now for some non-tech stocks:

A rare earth ETF has become one of the biggest investment momentum-grabbers in recent memory, and it’s showing remarkable potential for gaining some compelling earnings. Since an exchange-traded fund tracks the overall rare earth commodity, now is the time to catch on before the trend passes by.

Rare earth elements, or REEs, are used in so many every day devices. Computers, batteries, cell phones, magnets, lights, radar, satellites, and a ton of other applications give rare earths the huge demand they’ve seen grow over the past several years. These devices, and the industries tied to them, are not going to stop being productive any time soon. That adds up to some major openings for new REE mining companies to fill the supply lines with desperately-needed resources.

Absolute Wealth has decided to help investors with their expert REE guide, “Rare Earth Riches: How to Cash In On China’s ‘Dirty’ Secret.” It is a concise, 13-page Special Report that goes into great detail on the complex situation involving Chinese REE production, which has ruled the globe by leaps and bounds. The specific aspects of China’s effect on the global REE market are what make this such a critical investing time, and the “Rare Earth Riches” Special Report tells why.

90% of REEs came from China in 2010, and they cut their exports by 72%. This shot prices through the roof and increased demand, allowing a whole new group of international companies, including several in the United States, to enter the field. Their rare earth element stocks are intriguing investors, but many aren’t sure which ones are in the driver’s seat.

One of those companies is Molycorp Inc., which owns the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in California. The Special Report researches and identifies Molycorp as a potential REE success story. An International Business Times article from yesterday said that Molycorp is doing so well, they’ve entered the acquisition business.

The article said Molycorp “wants to buy Neo Material Technologies Inc. to support its bid of becoming a one-stop shop facility that not only mines rare earths but also produces magnets that contain the precious elements, a strategy meant to capture the entire rare earths supply and manufacturing chain. Molycorp Inc.'s corporate strategy is to develop the entire rare earth chain, from raw material to high-value rare earth magnets.”

Investors will be able to take the actionable advice from “Rare Earth Riches” and turn it into a strategy that takes ultimate advantage of the current situation. REEs are essential elements for the continuation of modern technology, and only a handful of companies outside of China stand to make a dent in the market. For quality rare earth ETF information, rely on the experts at Absolute Wealth for their knowledge and cognizance on the investment world. Look for more on the Special Report here.

Today, let’s take a break from the drama in the Eurozone and take a look at what’s going on in the US…

In the era of 1% CD interest rates and rising food costs, Americans who are on fixed incomes are feeling the pinch…

And are doing things differently in the “new normal.”

In the new normal, what used to be taken for granted is often no longer there.

Not only are "safe" investments hard to find, but they’re not paying much of anything…

This is a big deal in our era of austerity and shortage…

And make no mistake about it; the era of low yield and higher risk is with us for as far as they eye can see…

Pain for income investors

Which makes it very painful for income investors.

Public and private pensions, for example, are facing shortfalls and unfunded liabilities in the hundreds of billions of dollars…

While costs for medical care, food, and fuel continue to rise.

Challenging times, indeed.

It’s no wonder that financial advisors across the country are finding it more difficult to meet their clients’ income needs from the traditional investment quarters…

And given the state of the economy, more often than not, investing clients are much more conservative and not looking for the big score, Facebook IPO or no Facebook IPO…

They just want to hold onto what they have and make a little income off of it to offset inflation.

In a word, more investors today are searching for…yield.

But in the ever-growing search for current yield, conservative investors are forced to go further out on the risk curve than they usually would.

As faithful Gorrie Details readers surely know, I wrote a piece a few months back about how some senior citizens are buying into the dividend stock market to find yield…risking their capital for current dividend income.

And that’s still the case today.

Normally, conservative investors would put their dollars into income positions like Certificates of Deposit, high yield money market accounts, or government bonds of one sort or another or even municipal bonds.

And some still do; but government bonds pay very little interest as well…

And in a time of huge deficits in state and city budgets, many municipal bonds look a lot less secure than they used to…

Conservative income investors are facing the fact that the days of earning a safe 5-7% on their money are long gone…

At least until 2014, when Fed Chief Bernanke says he’ll consider raising interest rates again.

But until then, what to do?

The answer is you do what you have to do.

If you need income, you must find it one way or another.

Into complex debt

Many income investors are jumping into another investment realm for yield that few of them truly understand…

Complex debt structures that are not easily understood.

One of those debt plays are floating rate trusts, also called floating rate funds.

What exactly are those?

Floating rate trusts are pools of variable rate, sub-investment grade, bank loans used to finance corporate buyouts.

The interest rates are tempting--upwards of 5%--and as the economy walks the path of recovery, there is a chance that there will be a gain in value as well.

What a great deal, right?

Maybe.

The yield opportunity is certainly there, and so is positive value. And having some inflation protection is not bad either.

During my financial advisory career, I put a few clients in floating rate trusts as a very minor part of an overall income portfolio…

Most did well as the economy grew; others were stagnant. Values varied a bit, and yield was relatively low. But that was in a healthy economy.

But today it’s a different story.

Are floating rate loans a wise place for conservative investors to put a large portion of their income dollars?

Not really.

In times of economic duress—like the times we live in now—floating rate funds can fall fast, faster and further than even junk bonds. In the 2008 meltdown, for example, floating rate funds got really hammered, losing 30% of their value.

While junk bonds lost value too, floating rate funds fared worse.

The problem with floating rate funds isn’t that they are “bad” places to put money…

It’s that folks who would not normally be putting their assets into them are now doing so for the reasons given above…

The reality is that they probably are not fully aware of the risks that these positions carry…

And it's very possible that they are not made aware of those risks by their advisors.

But the fact is that there is quite a bit of risk—credit risk—they are lower than junk bond status after all. Remember, these are bank loans to corporations to fund buyouts. Corporate credibility isn’t exactly high at the moment, and if the economy does not recover as expected, there is valuation risk. Principle can be lost.

And there is also liquidity risk. Many floating rate funds have only quarterly redemption windows and may limit redemptions.

These are all very important factors to think about as folks struggle to put their money to work.

Is it surprising that folks needing income are turning to investments that they may not understand?

Sadly, no. But who’s to say that even if they did understand them, that it would make a difference?

If you get thirsty enough and all you have is dirty water, you drink the water.

And those are…The Gorrie Details.

Rare earth metal stocks in this critical time of booming production and record-high demands represent some of the best investing opportunities of this generation. Never before has a pound of dirt ben so valuable. As long as it’s rich in rare earth metals, dirt is currently going for an unimaginable $3 million a ton.

Countries are pitting themselves against each other for the priceless rare earth metal resources. Current technologies, like the cellular, satellite, and battery industries, are using rare earths at an alarming rate. The growing extraction and production processes are setting the stage for a major market shift.

With the help of the experts at Absolute Wealth, investors are learning the potential in the current situation, and cashing in as a result.

The Independent Wealth Alliance, Absolute Wealth’s subscription program, has released a Special Report that explains the scenario, with China playing the role of villain as it limits its rare earth exports to the rest of the world. “Rare Earth Riches: How to Cash In On China’s ‘Dirty’ Secret” is available now to IWA members.

Since China supplies 90% of the world’s rare earth metals, cell phone and flat screen manufacturers aren’t the only ones missing out.

Rare earth metals are used in a wide array of military applications, and the Special Report describes them in detail. Unfortunately, so many governments are reliant on China that it has turned into a foreign relation issue. A National Defense Magazine article from the June issue went further, and cited a report by the Congressional Research Service.

“The U.S. military is almost completely dependent on China for the rare earth elements that go into everything from batteries to precision-guided bombs,” said the article. “U.S. materials manufacturers recognize the Chinese near-monopoly as a national security issue and are encouraging a debate over how to regain the nation’s ability to create these valuable substances.”

Luckily, a growing number of companies outside China have laid the groundwork for years of successful supplies.

“The Defense Department conducted its own study, published in March,” continued the article, “and found that China’s stranglehold on rare earth production could soon be at an end with new production facilities coming online in the United States and Canada. The U.S. military will be able to meet most of its demand for rare earths by 2013, the Defense Department report concluded.”

The good news is rare earth mining companies stocks are in great position to be scooped up and potentially win big returns for smart investors who catch on to the trend. The Special Report from Absolute Wealth was compiled using some of the most knowledgeable experts on rare earths, and how they are affecting the trading markets.

More than 137 hours went into researching “Rare Earth Riches,” and it is condensed into immediately actionable plans that will guide investors towards high profit potential.

Rare earth minerals stocks are potentially the most appealing and profitable assets in today’s market. They are so widely used and greatly needed that production of rare earths has become a race to compete for company earnings in the global game. Meanwhile, investors are licking their chops at the opportunities rare earths have given them, and are poised for a major portfolio boost.

In response to an issue that’s growing in importance by the day, Absolute Wealth and their subscription program the Independent Wealth Alliance are releasing the informative Special Report “Rare Earth Riches: How to Cash in on China’s ‘Dirty’ Secret.” It provides information on the global need for rare earths, and how several companies intend on supplying it. Rare earth minerals are used in so many electronic and technological applications that it’s no wonder their effect on international trading is so important.

China, the most dominant rare earth producer, has recently stiffened their trade allowances and jeopardized the world’s source of these crucial minerals. The controversy has led other countries to take action, hoping to lighten the impact of China’s unreasonable holdout.

This Wired article told most of the story: “The fight over the minerals that run the electronic world entered a new phase in March when the United States, the European Union and Japan collectively filed a case against China, accusing the rare-earth powerhouse of violating world trade rules to manipulate mineral prices.”

That sparked the current group of emerging rare earth mining companies outside of China to begin establishing their initial move into the industry, hoping to cash in on huge demand and sky-high prices.

The “17 little-known elements with whimsical, little-known names like europium and praseodymium… are found in everything from mobile phones and computers to smart bombs and large wind turbines,” the article said. “Traces of the metals can be found around the world, but rarely in high enough concentrations for mining to be convenient or profitable.”

And yet, companies are breaking into the game because they have access to large rare earth mines and they have the ability to extract them in revolutionary ways. Inefficient rare earth production is a thing of the past, as these new companies find more successful, environmentally-friendly ways to provide rare earths to the modern technology industries. Investing in rare earths is wise, as long as the relevant information is available and understood.

That’s why “Rare Earth Riches” is such a helpful resource. It fully explains the current rare earth scenario, and highlights three of the most promising rare earth element stocks. Investors can try to trade in the rare earth market on their own, but the results won’t be nearly as fruitful as following the advice in the Special Report will contribute.

The creation and need for hi-tech gadgets, green energy materials, and national defense tactics will continue at an exponential rate, and rare earths are used in the production of each. Take a seat on the rare earth bandwagon, and watch the potential for profits rise and rise, right along with the technological advancements it fosters.

In yesterday’s column I talked about Greece—again—and how it is looking more likely that the bail out will fail--if it hasn’t already.

I said that it would lead to a Greek exit from the Eurozone...which I've said for the past year.

But just as important, it’s not just the Greek economy that is failing…

Greek society and Greek democracy are also threatened by the failure of their economy…

And this does not bode well for Europe…or the US.

But I’ll get to its effect on the US in a moment.

First, let’s look at why the Greek crisis in itself has two very powerful and dangerous affects…

For one, the failed Greek economy (and let’s just face the fact that it has failed) is just the first domino in the PIIGS nations. This most likely means that the economies of Italy, Spain, and others, will fail also…

Because the “solution” for them is roughly the same as it was for Greece.

It involves drastic federal budget cuts, layoffs, higher interest rates on debt, and higher taxes as well…

Those policies have not helped Greece; they have driven Greece to financial desperation…

But the measures have helped Greek creditors—not private ones so much--but sovereign debt holders have done alright...legally looting Greece of treasure and self-determination.

But the price has been the breakdown of Greek society.

Greek Democracy Fading

And this brings us to the second affect...the fading of democracy from defaulting Eurozone countries.

Remember when the Greek prime minister said he would put the bailout plan to a vote? Within a day or two, he was gone. No campaigning, no vote, not a word.

Note that Italy’s government, like Greece’s, was also simply “replaced” overnight, without the muss and fuss of an election.

This trend in the Eurozone is a troubling one, to say the least.

And all of this was brought about, or triggered, by governments borrowing too much, spending too much, and making it difficult to operate a business at a profit…

So what are many Greeks doing today?

Those who can are voting with their feet. They are leaving the country seeking their fortunes elsewhere, like Berlin and London.

The bottom line for Greece is that the country is disintegrating, with civil violence on the rise and democratic cohesion on the decline. The temptation for authoritarian rule from Brussels is growing by the day.

California goes Greek

This brings us to California, the once-golden state.

First of all, let me say that as native Californian, I love the state. There is no other place in the country with as much creative and entrepreneurial energy…and year ‘round fantastic weather that attracts geeks and freaks like nobodies’ business.

As an economy, California ranks 9th largest in the world…not bad until you consider only 10 years ago, it was the world’s 6th largest economy.

But sadly, California is well on its way to becoming our very own Greece.

And the impact of that is huge.

It’s not that Californians are not productive…

Quite the opposite.

The state sets the world standard for movies and television, makes wine better than most, spawns tech firms like Apple and Facebook in Silicon Valley, and is a global leader in food and dairy production…

California has worked well for a long, long time.

And yet, the golden state is deep in debt.

$16 billion according to latest reports.

Why is this happening?

After all, California also has some of the highest state and sales tax rates in the country...

The state should have plenty of money, right?

The answer is simple; California’s government is acting like the Greek government before the Euro Crisis hit…

It has a huge public sector with a huge welfare state, spends much more money than it takes in, and is rife with political corruption.

Recent studies say that state spending for public employees is over 80% of the budget. And though it has only 12% of the US population, California pays for a full one third of the nation's welfare recipients.

It also sports the largest state deficit in history and the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the US.

Like Greece in the Eurozone, California’s economy is failing and faces some tough choices…but is making some stupid ones, like increasing regulation.

Ever tougher business and environmental regulations are imposed on Californians that suppress economic activity, put more power in the hands of the government, and limit opportunities for Californians…

And guess what? Productivity in the state is falling...as is tax revenue.

The most productive state in the country is sinking into Greek-like mire before our eyes. But unlike Greece, California has a huge economy; an economic collapse there would cripple the US economy and be felt around the world.

But there’s little chance of that happening, right?

Don’t think it can’t.

Today, the state is again raising taxes on its most productive citizens—business owners—as it tries to cut its budget deficits.

And, just as in Greece, the cruel irony is that by cutting its state budget it is also shrinking the economy..

Because there is much less borrowed money to spend, and higher taxes, the economy is in a race to the bottom.

Voting with their feet

And what are California business owners doing?

The same thing that so many Greeks are doing…voting with their feet.

California business owners—and those citizens who want a better life--are leaving the state in droves…

Taking their talents, their energies, and their tax bases with them.

And yet California, like Greece, still hasn’t learned a basic law of economics…

That funding a welfare state and driving your most productive people out of the economy is not the way back to solvency…

It is the way to bankruptcy and default.

It’s painful to see and so unnecessary.

But statism means never having to say you’re sorry…

Oh, and by the way, where do suppose all those Californians going?

To Texas of course.

Which happens to have some of the lowest taxes and lowest regulation in the country and is thriving.

I should know; I left California in 2011 and moved there, too.

And those are…The Gorrie Details, y’all.

The last few weeks we have focused on two specific trades that have the potential to really pay off. On one hand we have the EUR/CAD, which we are still keeping an eye on, but we have also been watching the price of gold against the US Dollar. This is the trade we want to focus the most on right now as gold has crossed our trend line and now we are waiting to see if it ends there at the end of the week.

Looking at gold

Gold has consolidated downward in the past couple weeks. In fact, gold continues to fall almost daily and some investors are surprised by these trends. The lack of good news from the US normally indicates that the USD will weaken which is usually good for gold. In Europe, the weakening Euro should also strengthen gold.

Yet neither of those two scenarios is occurring. But there is some good news from all this turmoil. Some optimism exists that band aid solutions like austerity, which is failing, will not be accepted anymore. The demand for sustainable long-term solutions in Europe is encouraging, even if we have some temporary slow times.

So what’s the deal with gold? With the Euro looking in turmoil and the good news from the United States slowing down you would think gold is set as a safe haven for traders right now. Some traders see this as solid evidence that gold has to be set for a rebound and a breakthrough while others wonder how far gold can still fall. The search for an answer brings up several important points that might help explain why gold still is not quite taking off the way many traders would expect, given current market conditions.

There are several reasons why gold prices might be acting the way that they are. One is that despite the current upheaval in Europe, the political situation has been much worse before. The once major Iranian threats of oil sanctions have faded. Oil is below $100 a barrel, which at one point, really weighed on markets and drove gold up.

Another factor is a cooling from the lower retail ends of gold. This is especially the case with jewelry and coins. While the price of gold was skyrocketing, demand was high for both. But this demand has cooled quite a bit in recent weeks. The situation in India has also weighed down on gold and even caused nation-wide strikes. While these events are coming to an end, the decision to keep prices and tariffs much higher than before is tempering the mood.

Finally many traders have been watching technical indicators. In recent weeks, the technical indicators have been showing a downward trend towards consolidation. Some speculate that this has only further reinforced the recent market movement downward when it comes to gold prices.

Gold is still seen as a good safe haven for investors who are skittish on the currency markets. However, the current unease in Europe seems to be doing more to support the USD (at least temporarily) than gold. If the USD remains strong then that could continue to encourage a decline in gold prices.

As we have noted before, the thing to watch for on our charts is the trend line. The price of gold broke the trend line; that means that we want to see if it closes the week outside of there and act accordingly.

So what about the EUR/CAD?

This trade is still fully in play; although at the moment, it seems the currency pair is stagnant right around the 1.300 mark. Some were hoping to see the reversal from last week confirmed, but the most recent price ranges seem to be in counter-trend mode. This is a trade that we still believe in keeping open and that may yet result in a breakthrough. But at the moment, it is not moving in the same way that gold prices are.

Gold

We are looking for a Trend Finder arrow now that gold has closed below our long-term trend line.

EUR/CAD

We are still waiting for this pair to close above or below our trend line and a Trend Finder arrow to trigger to place a trade. This pair continues to consolidate.

So what’s this mean to us?

The course of action is pretty obvious based on what we’re seeing right now. The EUR/CAD trade is one we’re going to hold steady on until the currency pair starts moving again. Until then, you could refer to that trade as a holding pattern. Stay with it until we see where the movement is taking place – a breakout is still possible!

When it comes to gold, we watched the price move past our trend line, so we’re watching to see if it closes out there. This is the big one to look for as we watch for a Trend Finder arrow to appear.

Good investing,

There are rare earth stocks that can be purchased right now and stand to generate massive profit potential. However, adding them to your portfolio wouldn’t be smart until you’ve learned all you possibly can about the international rare earth trade situation. What it means for the future of mining, production, and use of rare earths will greatly affect investment opportunities.

Absolute Wealth is providing all that information and more in their Special Report “Rare Earth Riches: How to Cash In On China’s ‘Dirty’ Secret.” It will guide an investor with any experience level through the last two decades of rare earth production and use.

Some people may be unfamiliar with rare earth metals, even though they are some the most widely used elements in modern technology. According to the Mother Nature Network, “They're key to a variety of everyday devices, from tablet computers and TVs to hybrid cars and wind turbines, so it may be encouraging to know several kinds are actually common. Cerium, for example, is the 25th most abundant element on Earth.”

Yet the name “rare earth” conveys a sense of scarcity and shortage. “The name alludes to their elusive nature, since the 17 elements rarely exist in pure form,” said the article. “Instead, they mix diffusely with other minerals underground, making them costly to extract.”

That is why China, the globe’s biggest producer and home to the largest rare earth mining industry in the world, has held such a strong grip on international supplies. By limiting their exports, they’ve affected the price and demand of rare earths much more than anticipated. In 2010, China cut exports by 72%, multiplying the price of rare earths by 500%.

Thanks to the great demand and high prices, companies in the United States, Canada, Estonia, India, Malaysia, and Brazil are currently undergoing mining processes. The Special Report informs investors on the rare earth mining companies stocks that make the smartest proposals and are already impacting the still-young international supply system.

Over 137 hours of research went into “Rare Earth Riches,” and it shows. It’s only a 13-page digital document, but it is filled with so much useful information. It’s easy to understand and put into effect as well.

It’s also proving to be a recession-proof investment, as the production of things like cell phones, televisions, and fuel-efficient cars shows no sign of slowing. Absolute Wealth is providing you with a plan that can save hundreds of needless and potentially costly mistakes. Since time is of the essence, moving quickly with this information will make a huge difference.
