The Most Important Thing

 Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, all at the same time. 
Omit any one and the result is likely to be less than satisfactory.

The idea of the most important things—each is a brick in a solid wall, and none is dispensable. 

Restrictions coming for Rare Earth Magnet Tech? There are reports out of Japan that the PRC may ban exports of some types of rare-earth magnet technology. I do not believe anyone has actually said there is a ban, but restrictions are included in a draft technology export restriction list.

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!

China on Thursday announced additional export controls on rare earths, expanding restrictions on critical minerals that are used in the manufacturing of everything from gadgets to electric vehicles to defense systems.

Under the new rules, exports for overseas military applications won’t be allowed, while exports for uses in semiconductors and chip manufacturing equipment will require approval on a case-by-case basis, China’s Ministry of Commerce said. The new rules, which expanded from earlier restrictions announced in April, also limit the export of technologies used for rare earth production and recycling.

The new rules could affect chip giants like Nvidia, if the company’s suppliers need to apply for Beijing’s licenses in order to purchase large quantities of rare earths from China. Rare earths are used in several components for Nvidia chips and servers, such as those in the cooling system.

China produces the vast majority of the world’s rare earths. As U.S.-China geopolitical tensions have escalated in recent years, China’s control of rare earths has given Beijing leverage in its trade negotiations with Washington.

China tightened its rare earth export controls on Thursday, saying it planned to limit exports to overseas defence firms and semiconductor users and adding five rare earth elements to its list.
