$12B Project Vault in Rare Earth: Is USAR the Real Winner?

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a $12B strategic critical minerals reserve, dubbed Project Vault, aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains. The plan combines $1.67B in private capital with $10B in Export-Import Bank loans to stockpile rare earths and other key metals for automakers and tech firms. USAR surged 16% intraday before reversing to close down 1.38%. Does Project Vault translate into real, near-term demand for USAR’s assets? Is the intraday reversal a warning sign of policy-trade exhaustion?

🌟🌟🌟The official launch of Project Vault in the US, a USD 12 billion strategic critical mineral reserve, has triggered significant bullish sentiments for US rare earth and critical mineral stocks. Domestic mining & processing companies are the primary beneficiaries, as the program establishes a massive government backed buyer to provide price floors & demand stability. $USA Rare Earth Inc.(USAR)$ surged 17% on Tuesday trading.

Have not follow the "super bet". Think resource stock trade carries higher risk with sudden surge.

Rare earth explode and "super bet" catches attraction. Watch out risk increases wrt the uncertainty ahead.
Follow the Leader Trump’s involvement is a policy signal, not an investing guarantee. Markets reliably front-run his intentions, but fundamentals often lag. Following early can work tactically; chasing after parabolic moves usually does not. Treat this as a catalyst trade, not a conviction bet. Risk vs Reward Pure-plays like USA Rare Earth (USAR) offer maximum upside but carry execution, funding, and valuation risk. These are trading instruments. Diversified exposure via iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF (PICK) offers durability and lower drawdown risk but less torque. A small barbell allocation is more rational than all-in positioning. Next Big Move After rare earths, the most likely targets are: 1. Copper – critical for AI, grids, EVs; structurally undersupplied. 2.

I don't think a new focus will appear, the headlines will still hover on rare earths and magnets, simply because China has a firm grip, and it is not easy for everyone else to ramp up production in the short term and maybe the medium term. The expertise required poses a challenge even if there are sites found to have good concentration of rare earths. Both the act to retrieve them, and not causing adverse environmental problems would be important things to balance.

Don’t think I will join the resource stock trade, it’s becoming less of an investment and more of a speculation. Also, I’m not confident trump will last for another 4 years terms.
Diversify and get into some rare earth!

🌟🌟Some investors talk about a Trump trade lasting for another 4 years, especially around energy, deregulation & domestic production.  However the Trump trade is a market narrative, not a prediction.  That narrative is currently centered on the resource  megatrend. The truth is that they are a signal that resources are finite.  The next 4 years focus will be on Lithium,  Uranium, Critical Minerals and Nuclear Fuel. Among the 4 mega resource trends, I believe that Nuclear Fuel is the most important .  It provides the power to fuel the AI revolution and Uranium is the heart of Nuclear Fuel. Centrus Energy $Centrus(LEU)$ is the quiet gatekeeper of the nuclear fuel cycle .  It is only US company  capable of

US companies involved in rare earth production get a big boost as the US government plans hugh investments. Once the euphoria wears off, volatility sets in until proper investment are set in place.
It's a scam. I bought near the peak and it fell more than 50% in a month
I think I better not. no more cash to buy. sit quietly and wait for my holdings to go up. patience is a virtue

Trump Strikes Again! Have You Gotten On the Resource Stocks Board?

$USA Rare Earth Inc.(USAR)$ surged yesterday. The U.S. government is set to acquire a 10% stake in USA Rare Earth, backed by a total funding package of around $1.6 billion (federal funding + loans) to accelerate the buildout of domestic rare earth mining and magnet production capacity. This would mark the largest single U.S. government investment in critical minerals under the Trump administration so far. 1. Four Trump Deals in One Year! And the Market Went Wild In the past year, Trump-backed deals have repeatedly sent U.S. stocks flying: First, $400M was injected into rare earth miner $MP Materials Corp.(MP)$ Then $10B went into struggling chip giant $Intel(INTC)$
