"If you mean that Rare Earth minerals were geographically placed by God during his "big bang" formation of the Universe, including relative spec of dust Earth, I can see that point"
Yes, but not during the Big Bang. Later during planetary creation.
But seriously, I do take your point about us possibly having just as much rare earth minerals as I do not know much about the geographic distribution of these. I had simply assumed that China was fortunate enough to have been gifted with large deposits (relative to other areas). If that is the case (that these rare earth minerals are all over), then again it is on us, that we have screwed the pooch.
Have a great weekend, and hoping one day to see you and me happily exiting this investment in Amarin. I know your feelings on the subject and they parallel mine.
