Rare Earth metals for investment.

We are hearing a lot about rare Earth metals in the investment news.

I must be honest I dont know much about this at all.

Can you buy a bullion bar in rare Earth metals?

How would it compare to gold and silver bullion?

    Hi there, RDB,

    I'd be looking at miners for this. There's been some discussion on TMF about rare earths -here's a thread from 2008 to get you started.

    Do you know if you can buy it in physical bullion form, like bars?

    I dont like any paper investments I like physical bullion because there is no ongoing costs and its private and you have 100% control over it.

    You can buy a load of rare earth magnets from places like DealExtreme - I guess you could stack them together and pretend they are bars :)
