Summary
Many retail investors looking for the next best stocks to buy have turned to rare earth stocks and other critical materials. Tungsten just became the newest name in the critical materials race, and the deal behind it stretches from Kazakhstan to Washington. Paul Mann, Executive Chairman of Skyline Builders, joins Bridget to break down why his company is betting on a massive tungsten mine in Kazakhstan, and why the US government is reportedly putting up to $1.6 billion behind it. He details the new stock ticker KAZR and why retail investors and Wall Street investors are both starting to pay attention. Right now, 87% of the world's tungsten supply comes from China, North Korea, and Russia. Tungsten is essential for missiles, tanks, armored plating, electronics, and nuclear applications, and the US has almost no domestic production. Paul explains how this new Kazakhstan mine could become one of the largest tungsten sources outside of those three countries, why the US and Kazakhstan have been deepening ties for years, and what the reverse merger process looks like for investors trying to get in early. Paul also shares his background in critical materials investing, including his roles with ASP Isotopes and Tungsten Resources, and why he believes supply shortages are coming across multiple critical materials over the next decade.
