RE:Almonty
The Chinese move is not a surprise. It was actually supposed to happen last year, but what with COVID, the Chinese central committee decided to wait a year. I suspect that many "more popular" stocks are up because the move caught retail investors by surprise, but Almonty is tightly held, with limited publicity. Not much room there for a pop on emotion.
People in the rare earths area have been aware of this vulnerability for years, knowing that it was only a matter of time.
