Der Niedergang der EU

​Während das Magazin TIME unsere Kanzlerin, Angela Merkel, vor kurzem noch als "Person des Jahres" in den Himmel lob (siehe Artikel hier), so gibt es in den breiten Medien erstaunlich schwachen Gegenwind über Ihre politischen Maßnahmen bzw. "nicht-Maßnahmen". An dieser Stelle möchte ich eine gänzlich andere Meinung vorstellen, nämlich die von Boris Gerjovic aus Maribor in Slowenien. Sein Artikel "Der Niedergang der EU" wurde ins Deutsche übersetzt und ist untenstehend wiedergegeben.

Q&A Session About Commerce Resources Corp. and the Rare Earth Market

​Following my latest article “Shedding Light onto the REE Playing Field”, there were some questions that my newsletter subscribers asked me to address.I have attempted to be a positive force in this sector by, as much as possible, levelling the playing field by explaining the rare earth element (REE) space and its particularities with a series of focused articles. As in all commodity spaces, some projects and management teams are good, and some projects and management teams are not. Throu...

​Nach meinem Artikel “Beleuchtung des Spielfelds der Seltenen Erden” gab es einige Fragen meiner Newsletter-Abonnenten.

Wie in allen Rohstoffklassen sind manche Projekte und Managem...
