    Take all your points about this, but speculatively…

    With increased supplies of these ‘low supply’ metals and with the prices coming down, wouldn’t we see more and more use of them in both in new products and in products that would have been too expensive for the market in the past.

    It’s not that they would be a new resource, it’s ease of access to them that might be a massive new resource?

    Anyone want to invest in my space trawler? We’ll net a fortune in “poissons d’avril”, seeing as how there’s one born every minute.

    You don’t seem to consider that selling 1000t would depress the futures price?
