What's on your mind?
Haven't opened a new position for a long time, starting to build a position in $Critical Metals(CRML.US). The main theme of defense reindustrialization is still not enough with just application stocks.
Although I previously looked at $Niocorp Developments(NB.US), NB's fundamentals are really too poor. The niobium mine hasn't started production yet, relying entirely on empty defense department orders to stay alive.
We simulated an extreme scenario with Gemini: if the U.S. returns to Monroe Doctrine 2.0 and all South American countries align with the U.S., what core raw material supply blockades (potential) would this impose on China.
China relies on South America for resources like lithium, copper, iron ore, and crude oil, but the most critical dependency is niobium (Nb): used in high-strength steel (military, aircraft carriers, rockets, pipelines). Brazil controls over 90% of global production, and 95% of China’s imports come from Brazil.
