Rare Earth Elements or REEs seem to be the newest big mover on Wall Street. Although most have heard of them, they do not know what their use is. The best way to identify them is by going back to chemistry class and looking at a periodic table. Here is an easier introduction.
Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (AVL) has seen a large appreciation of market cap over the past year, but this may just be the beginning. Avalon has a well diversified set of rare earth holdings. All of their projects are 100% owned.
If investing in the rare earths, Avalon is attractive from two standpoints. The company has a very high concentration of heavy rare earths. Since these are more scarce price increases will be more likely here. Secondly, it seems to be a value when compared to REEs in the ground. I think any of the names mentioned here are a good trade, until the current trade ends.
