Lynas Corporation - Rare Earths Radiation Concerns in Malaysia - ASX

Lynas Corporation - ASX - COT Proxy

This will be the first time I am covering stocks on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). How could I have not covered them all this while?

Let's take a look at Lynas Corporation. This is an interesting company. Just a little background, this is actually a mine to market integrated rare earths mining company in Australia. Their mine is in Mount Weld, Western Australia. Their processing plant where they refine the rare earths deposits is in Gebeng, Kuantan - Malaysia.

The locals and opposition parties are rallying (they call themselves the "Green Movement") against the plant which is also called the Advanced Materials Processing Plant because of the emission of radiation into the environment. The plant promises to be one of the biggest plants in the world to process rare earths outside of China. This will serve to break the monopoly of the Chinese for these rare earths.

The commercials aka big boys are net short since 17 September 2011. Probably they knew that the project will meet some kind of stiff resistance hence the short.

    Hi John,

    This was coded for me by a friend. If you want to know more about the COT Proxy, you can look around this blog for an introduction or you can google "Larry Williams COT Proxy".

Commitments of Traders Report (COT Proxy) - Larry Williams

For those of you not familiar with the Commitments of Traders Report, COT Proxy, you might want to check out this website Larry Williams Picture Perfect Trading for a brief introduction. I attended one of his Picture Perfect courses a few years ago and this was one of the things he touched on. The COT report is released by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission where they show the open positions of traders for futures contracts. For stocks and other instruments there is no such COT report released so what the proxy has done is to simulate/gauge the open positions of these traders.

Petrochina - HKSE

Petrochina - HKSE Petrochina have a sell signal on Aug 2, 2011. The commercials are net short since then. Missed that signal and only closed the position today at a lost. It is hard to keep track of all the holdings manually. My method is to scan the charts individually to see the signal. Anyone familiar with Ninjatrader and can program an automated stock scanner?
