Mr gem. This post is one of many worth thinking about for a few extra seconds and definitely should be well rembered. Happy 4th. We plan to watch the fireworks from our vantage on the nj side of the great Hudson river
I'm holding the bulk of my shares until after the previews end and the great show curtain goes up. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy the show

NO dilution more private placement money to be coming in and used for projects until the big show begins--- IMO
how many shares?
good luck I hope you continue to follow liberty
hawk
how many shares?
IMO liberty doesn't use the fairhills money ever
how about that
lets see how brisco comes up with a partner or more private placement money as he tours the country
with liang's help
and BTW this happens within 3 months
when the fairhills deal expires(they could always renew too)
so where is the dilution?
a JV after
then the copper in the ground gets extracted and
we watch it all happen
time will tell

article taken from today's Resource investing news;
go figure
Rare earth investors have experienced a slippery slide of late and things do not seem to be settling down just yet.
Global commodities faced uncertainty during the first half of 2012, and some speculators are now arguing that the rare earth elements (REEs) market is a ticking time bomb, begging the question: “has the rare earth bubble finally burst?”
This question was asked by investors following what many consider to be brazen comments made about the sector by one of the world’s leading rare earth experts.
Jack Lifton of Technology Metals Research4 announced that he feels the REE bubble has burst, and that market valuations are finally coming back down to earth. Lifton is a respected voice5 within the metals sector and advises the institutional investment community on natural resource issues that impact proposed business models and high-volume manufacturing plans for the mass market.
In a recent interview he confirmed that he believes the landscape that the current REE market is facing is entirely different than it was twelve months ago, and as a result is going through a shakeout.6
Overvalued projects
“We had a bubble last year – an anomalous speculative blip – that ran REE prices to the sky. It happened just as the junior miners were coming into full bloom. At that time, I would say most of the junior REE exploration companies were overvaluing their projects something fierce. Then the market herd jumped in and ran the prices way up.”
Highlighting the severity of the marketplace, Lifton noted that of the approximately 260 listed REE public companies, only one is currently in production - Molycorp7 (NYSE:MCP8) – and as a result, valuations of juniors will soon come “down to earth.” Between 90 and 95 percent of the remaining junior miners will be “wiped out.”
Investor understanding needs to change
Lifton went on to state that because investors have placed too much emphasis on REE groupings as opposed to individual elements, production of many REES is set to exceed demand moving forward.
“Investors should understand there is no single REE market. There is a market for some of the individual REEs – the critical REEs. But for at least half of the REEs, production and usage are tiny and there is no ‘market’ to speak of,” he said.
Lifton underlined that he disagrees with the theory that all REE prices will collapse, and forecast that critical elements will maintain strong demand and pricing because there is no significant production outside of China.
Rare earth in the US
Commenting on whether he feels there is adequate government support for the development of domestic sources of REEs in the US, Lifton noted that the government seems to be ignoring industrial needs. Lifton made this point earlier in the year when he openly criticized9 the Pentagon10’s report to Congress11, which states that US domestic supplies will sufficiently meet its defense industry’s needs by 2013.
At the time, Lifton referred to the report as “so lame I can’t believe it,” before suggesting that the military seems content with Molycorp’s REE supply as its source. Some might argue that this is be true, especially considering Molycorp’s announcement12 that the proven and probable reserves at its Mountain Pass13, California facility have increased by 36 percent.
Lynas project insight
Lifton also provided insight into the delays experienced by Lynas Corporation14 (ASX:LYC15) at its Malaysia-based REE plant, which has fallen victim to countless delays as a result of protesters claiming the plant creates a risk of dangerous radiation16. Lifton was part of the international team that inspected the project.
“The opposition to the plants says that this will be the Fukushima of Malaysia, a potential radioactive disaster. The plant is really a big chemical plant, and nothing more. It’s easy to twist words,” he said. “I don’t want to comment on Malaysian politics, but it’s interesting to me that one of the fellows in our inspection group is a very prominent person in decommissioning nuclear reactors. His position is that the issue here is background radiation – nothing more.”
Last week Lynas cleared the final hurdle for its delayed $800 million plant after Malaysian lawmakers urged the government17 to issue a temporary operating license, despite community safety concerns.
Market inadequately prepared
Lifton also touched on the global availability of REEs, adding that the market was inadequately prepared for occurrences such as the Chinese quota system. The market has been on edge18 ever since the Asian giant introduced what many consider restrictive export quotas; some speculators have argued19 that China’s goal is to create the ultimate monopoly by driving up export costs to the point that manufacturers are forced to relocate facilities to the People’s Republic.
“We saw what happened when China squeezed availability. The whole REE industry is suddenly running around like Chicken Little,” he said.
When asked whether the market was reacting as a result of China’s export policy or due to speculative free market price behavior, Lifton noted that last year’s price movements might have resulted from speculation; however, over the long-term, price rises were the result of a market ill-prepared for the future.
“I remember when this was happening. I said, ‘What are we going to do if China’s demand exceeds its domestic supply, or the Chinese decide they don’t want to do this anymore?’ I was told that it would never happen. Well, it just seems to have happened. We need domestic supplies – of everything.”
eli, what's your feeling about the shorts over there
and are we seeing covering
or new $$ from the ihub crowd coming in to make enough of this difference today
are there really shorts in this one?
i prefer to think
the real goods will come out soon and then the PPS goes to its true price
much higher of course
your thoughts are welcome
hawk flying
ky
yes i did not get your play on words-good for you
right don't sell for a long time
remember that thought--its not going to change
yes bella needs that condo in brazil
and we need 1 buck or more
when the real goods are released by brico. this is play time. compared to what we will see
and in 2 states--that's the best part
2 states-- in fact when i learned of this stock and 2 states of possibilites i was very excited
so its fun to watch for now
i expect many pullbacks as the day trader flippers will be here
or are here and the MM"s have their fun
but for now
not me
i have suffered for 2 years
nothing compared to bella and a few others
but too long for any reasonable investor(i'm told not in the mining business though)
so be it
ky
i thought you were visiting a sick friend
glad you are well and guess what
unless you are in perfect shape most physicians tell their patients they can do better
now today's news release was great
it further takes liberty in AK to a better position should the enviornmental guys loose out eventually
its a tough fight up there
but the land lbsr owns may be better suited for mining
we will see
but IMO it will be good of some sorts eventually.
now its up to brisco to find some serious money for his projects on the "tour"
i hope he gets the word out to the right people.
i dont need to go and listen to a bunch of technical stuff that will certainly be over my head. i will go to support him and my investment thought in NYC.
thank you
i wonder If FE has come today with a different alias?
chuckle chuckle
too bad KY is out for the day
he is missing some fun
and you know
????
very nice
gee not a lot higher
for any reason??????????
long way to go jim
stalled at 033
for the second
chuckle chuckle
thanks for the positive vibes
what surprises me
is the level of stupidity still surrounding this stock
from investors(but nothing has been proven as yet)
and
the rate of upward change of the share price
(man its going up slowely)
but..............
its all good going foward now
8k released this morning for news from last friday
that means more eyes on lbsr today
its all good at this this time
another excellent post from mr gempicker
keep them coming
ps; I'm ignoring the nut jobs posting
useless maps, charts and directives(lol you get it)
enjoy your sunday in the hot sun
a nice day for a BBQ
belgiansh
be prepared for the penny stock day trader flipper people who will be in and out of lbsr for the smallest changes in share price.
a few hundred dollars is a great amount of money to many of these guys and the challenge of flipping makes for a great high.
we both know this fact
It appears that the next act of this show is about to start, the curtain is going up
and we both know that the news and results will drive this stock price much higher
and that's what the loyal longs who post here every day out of frustration(for years)and
some of who have excellent mining information and ideas
are waiting for.
no sweat now IMO just more time
that's why we may just get a pull back as the flippers sell monday(who knows and who cares IMO)
Do we see 03 monday. Another news release from liberty? You could get your pull back. But its up up away real soon
If you don't buy this afternoon you had better really hope for a pull back because it sure looks like that train is pulling out of the station. We never know but.... Choo choo
Ok eli. Sounds like a plan after lbsr goes to a buck fifty??
eli
what do you think
brisco has the goods and is shopping them around now?
no drilling for you until after he is done touring and the dust settles
he counts the private investment monies committed
etc
my guess or IMO
Excellent
we are going to have note takers from multiple cities posting here
for follow up questions
excellent
2 meetings in NYC
i expect alot of wall street mining guys will find out and want to be there
lets hope they get the press out so serious investors show up
and get interested
i missed that
THANKS ELI
i'm going
too much at risk here not to go
oh yes !!!!
better than another Cano(my next door neighbor)homer
if you present notes here on ihub quite possibly someone could expand on thoughts and questions for a later meeting
good idea
i think i have enough shares and have put foward enough positive vibes
for the unsure investors in the past 2 years
this may be what i hope for
in a few months we will all have answers
but liberty is ready to drill !!!
but the real question is...........
do we buy another million shares before its much higher?
hmmmm.............
he is not traveling to nyc so we all cant meet up
boo
he is looking for privte placement money
Thank you for your testiminial about brisco
it goes a long way
i knew all along your value to this board
with excellent observations
thats why i said earlier today that i would compare BH to HM
forget the other obvious facts in front of your face like location
history of the region
better technical geology tools available now.
yes liberty has nothing until they prove it
and that's why the stock is 2 cents
wait are you banks with another ihub alias?
hmm..................
could be the same
thank you for keeping it real
