Past bets that played out
These are the clearest thesis calls with observable outcomes, linked back to the original videos.
USGS/Interior published the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals (60 minerals) and added 10 new minerals (boron, copper, lead, metallurgical coal, phosphate, potash, rhenium, silicon, silver, uranium) citing supply-chain disruption risk, import dependence, and importance to U.S. economy/national security. This is a policy/supply-chain signal that can support longer-horizon demand/security narratives for U.S.-aligned producers and developers in the newly added commodities.

About the 2025 List of Critical Minerals
USGS describes the 2025 U.S. Critical Minerals List (expanded vs. 2022) and an updated USGS methodology to quantify U.S. economic risk from foreign trade/supply-chain disruptions across mineral commodities. This is primarily policy/methodology context (not an investment call), but it reinforces a multi-year U.S. focus on de-risking critical mineral supply chains, which can indirectly support domestic/allied sourcing, processing, and recycling themes.
Interior Department releases final 2025 List of Critical Minerals

Germanium Statistics and Information
USGS-style overview of germanium: byproduct of zinc processing; demand shifted from early electronics to fiber optics, infrared/night vision, and polymerization catalysts; recent (as of text) consumption > primary production offset by stockpiles and recycling; includes a historical 2000 year-end price ($1,150/kg).
Tin Statistics and Information
General background/educational overview of the tin market (uses, supply sources, scarcity, recycling) with no new datapoints, price catalysts, or near-term event signals. Limited direct trading actionability.
