Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore are well positioned to be the 21st century financial capitals.
I might add that they are a bit more foresighted than their western counterparts when it comes to mineral commodities procurement strategies. They are also more aware that a contextually high price for copper or gold today will likely seem like a bargain in a few years.
If the current supply of copper was subjected to normal-to-robust economic growth, Cu would top $6/lb before the supply correction. If the current supply of gold was accurately priced against the forecast of demand for industrial/electronic and Indian heirloom gold, Au would be over 2K/oz. As it is, the 3Q dip will probably support higher gold, while copper will wait for a stronger recovery in construction and manufacturing.
LBSR is sitting on serious assets, and the time to value them properly is coming. Uranium will recover over the next few years as well, and LBSR will likely be in a good financial position to exploit that emerging trend as it occurs. 300+ targets of potentially high-grade ore in mining-friendly AZ. I know what I own, and it's a lot more than the allowable risk I bought in 2010. Go LBSR!
