Rare earth stocks are Wall Street’s hottest trade right now

Rare earth stocks are having a blast at the moment. Small stocks in the critical and rare earth minerals sector — the latest flashpoint of US-China trade relations — have ripped, but the trade went into overdrive to start this week.

After JPMorgan announced on Monday a $10 billion plan to directly invest in key industries like critical minerals, the sector spiked as traders responded to the news and continued to bet on the US government’s ongoing support for the nascent sector. 

In the announcement, Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, wrote that “the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products, and manufacturing.”

One name in particular, MP Materials, soared 21% on Monday, with an eye-watering $4.7 billion worth of the stock trading in a single session. Ironically, that’s even more than the $3.3 billion that changed hands in JPMorgan stock.

Remarkably, the rare earth trade didn’t seem to be losing any steam on Tuesday. 

With risk-off sentiment dominating the premarket session — the US and China having just rolled out their tit-for-tat port fees — the one winner from the trade tensions seems to still be the rare earth stocks. Indeed, other names in the industry were also trading higher yesterday, most notably United States Antimony Corp. (up 4.6%), Critical Materials (up 29%), and American Battery Technology Co. (up 23%).

The Takeaway

One of the big themes this year has been “follow the feds” replacing “follow the Fed” as a financial market maxim, with novel economic policies out of Washington having massive ramifications for traders. The reality is, one of the biggest end consumers of these rare earths is the Pentagon and one of the biggest suppliers is China, a situation that was inevitably going to become untenable as the Pentagon ratchets up pressure on, well, China. If you’re an American company with skin in the game on rare earths, traders increasingly seem to think this is your moment. Y

Nice! The Columbia River is crazy long. Over the years, I think our family had drove over it (on bridges of course) or seen it at at least 5 different places. On top of Mount Revelstoke https://stacker.news/items/1007274; when we passed by Castlegar, BC; during our trip to Wenatchee, WA; passing over it several times going to and from Oregon; crossing that long bridge at Astoria, OR.

This is so true! I often fall into this as well. Trying to stack more and more sats and failing to recognize how far ahead I am than most and being content with what I have! 

Don’t undervalue One Million Sats!

The most controversial policy on Wall Street.

Warren Buffett focuses everything on traditional stocks.
Nancy Pelosi bets heavily on tech, AI, and options.

Two gigantic portfolios that demonstrate opposing market views and may make you rethink your investments.

2. Buffett plays the same old game.

Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio totals $258 billion.
And 22% is in a single stock: Apple.

Apple, American Express, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola represent more than half of the portfolio.

It's the classic: few names, lots of weight, and a long-term focus.

![](https://m.stacker.news/112921)



3. Pelosi plays the modern game—and Congress's.

The congresswoman's (or rather, her husband's) portfolio is filled with tech:
• NVIDIA = 19%
• Broadcom, Alphabet, Visa, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft…

Furthermore, she frequently trades options—especially tech calls.

4. Pelosi's fame is not without reason.
Her portfolio gained notoriety with far above-average performance:
• Estimated +700% accumulated since 2014
• In 2024, it returned over +90% for the year

Such visibility even generated apps and ETFs trying to replicate her movements.

But it also raised significant suspicions of insider trading.

5. Buffett vs. Pelosi: Two Ways of Looking at the Market.

Buffett invests based on fundamentals, predictability, and value.
Pelosi seeks growth, innovation, and hype cycles, capitalizing on issues that frequently pass through Congress.

It's Berkshire vs. Nasdaq.
It's conviction versus agility.
It's stability versus leverage.

And both are making money.



5. What does this say about the market?
That there's not just one way to invest.
But also that each portfolio reveals how its owner views risk, cycles, and opportunities.

And understanding these contrasts can give you much more clarity about where to allocate your money.
