A. Because it has unique properties and it's semi-radioactive and it's used in the production of like boninium, high precious steels, and it goes for like $10,000 -- What on earth is boninium? altavista.com

Denison mines used to sell rare earths that came as a co-product of uranium leaching. And yes it is "semi-radioactive". Or has the property of phosphorescence. I believe it was called Yttrium. It is used it in televisions tubes as a phosphor. You could say it's rare. I don't know about $10,000 a pound. That is the essence of investor relations. Phone chimp 101. You take a principle that is partly true, you forget 1/2 of it, mangle the rest and add a few zeroes. Toss in a computer bio-tech process and a doctor with a degree from a moveable cellulose college in South America. Then acting as as a protege of the eminent doctor, you wax so enthusiastic that people will suspect that if nothing else, the stock has aphrodisiac properties. When a question of a substantive nature arises, you quickly admit that you are not a technical person, but you will get Dr. Alfonso Gradowicz to call them when he is able to leave the lab and is not too busy with a presentation to the many clamouring scientists and rock stars he is consulting with. I believe the technique of far away fields of new and wonderously curative natural bromides was developed during the 18th century in the English stock market and has been honed to a high art by the 19th century in the New World. It's the patent medicine travelling roadshow Nasdaq style. Not a thing in the delivery has changed, only the names and the times. It wasn't Barnum who said one was born every minute, it was one of his competitors, with equally imaginative promotional enterprise. So it is said. EC<:-}
