Ramaco's METCB tracking stock offers no merger upside, because any conversion back into METC shares would happen at the last 20 days' weighted average price, so holders can't even speculate on a merger without getting scammed. It is the icing on the cake of a scam run by fraudulent management. x.com 

Ramaco Resources offers coal and rare earth exposure in a war that is lifting both, after being beaten down from 57 to 13 with huge short interest. Coal prices are spiking and the coal sector is at all-time highs, with structural changes in energy markets, including natural gas capacity lost to strikes in Qatar and Iran, adding commodity upside. Its rare earths are needed to replenish military stockpiles spent in the conflict. x.com  x.com 

Critical Metals is an under-followed pure-play on heavy rare earths, which the West cannot supply at scale. China refines nearly all the dysprosium and terbium that stop EV-motor and missile magnets from melting, and a new mine takes 5-7 years to permit. Its Greenland Tanbreez deposit is among the biggest outside China, with multi-year upside if financed into production. It is pre-revenue, so slipping financing or permitting would cut it hard; an early-stage bet, not a core hold. x.com 

US rare-earth and critical-mineral stocks could benefit from up to $1.6B of US investment in a domestic supply chain, even as heavy rare-earth stocks crash. USA Rare Earth is building a US mine-to-magnet chain including dysprosium and terbium; MP Materials is expanding into heavy rare-earth separation, alloys and magnets; Energy Fuels is expanding US separation; Critical Metals is developing Greenland's Tanbreez; NioCorp and American Resources are building US critical-mineral projects. x.com  … Show more

MP Materials looks like a no-brainer at current prices because the US has no choice but to back domestic rare earth suppliers. Rare earth demand should at least double in five years, and China could cut off supply at any time, making MP a national-security hedge with a big government stake. About $1.15B of 2030 EBIT at 30x implies roughly $200 a share. With customers in chips, robotics, drones and defense, MP deserves a premium to Freeport and BHP, and it is 2+ years ahead of USA Rare Earth. … Show more

USA Rare Earth is the highest-upside way to play Trump's push for magnets. It targets heavy rare earths through a full-stack US supply chain, is a strategic government asset and reduces reliance on China. If it actually builds a domestic heavy rare earth and magnet supply chain, the upside could be insane. x.com 

MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Energy Fuels and American Resources should benefit as rare earths become vital to the coming robotics revolution and the US has a national security incentive to break China's stranglehold at every chokepoint from mining to magnets. If robotics demand explodes, margins should rise as revenue scales, then cash flow expands as buildout capex drops. MP and USA Rare Earth are nearing scaled commercialization in the early 2030s; a buy-and-hold into the next decade. x.com  … Show more

MP Materials is a safe bet as the only Western Hemisphere producer of rare earths at scale, an asset the Pentagon cannot afford to lose. A post the author shares argues Greenland's Tanbreez deposit is likely a decade away given no roads, frozen months and a uranium mining ban, while China controls about 90% of processing. Mountain Pass in California is operational today, and since July 2025 the Pentagon has treated MP as a partner rather than a vendor, effectively socializing its risk. x.com  … Show more

USA Rare Earth posted $1.75B of cash after a Q1 beat, and Pentagon capital at that scale points to a construction schedule rather than a research grant for its first US mine-to-magnet refinery. China processes 85% of global rare earths, and terbium and dysprosium, used in EV motors and missile guidance, are not mined or refined elsewhere at scale. MP Materials' Mountain Pass mine feeds upstream ore, and Energy Fuels re-rates if USA Rare Earth proves the refinery model works. x.com
