A Hidden Metal Set to Shine By Jocelynn Smith, Managing Editor Gas prices have dropped, easing the pain at the pump, but car buyers are still intrigued by the electric cars. It certainly doesn't hurt that car manufacturers are increasing the selection for buyers. Tesla has flaunted the fact that you don't have to sacrifice luxury and cool for green and responsible. To stay competitive with Tesla, BMW has launched its new i3 minicar and i8 sports car, while Audi, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are rushing to get their electric cars into production. There's also the Nissan Leaf that has proven to be a hit in Georgia due to the state's incentive program. In fact, incentive programs and government support is on the rise as countries attempt to slash pollution and emission. India's government is working on an incentive program worth $126 million to promote electric and hybrid vehicles. China extended its electric car incentive program through 2020, providing subsidies of up to 55,000 yuan ($8,534). And Germany plans to expand its network of charging stations from 100 to 400 by 2017 to support the country's goal of having 1 million battery-powered cars by 2020. The rising demand for electric cars is going to create a boom in demand for dysprosium, a soft strategic metal. Due to its high magnetic strength, dysprosium is used in electric motors. But like many strategic metals, dysprosium is extremely rare. The European Union recently listed dysprosium as the most "at risk" for supply shortages. As supply of the metal dwindles while demand for electric cars heats up, the price of dysprosium will soar. And dysprosium is just one of the rare metals that are poised to put in a good performance. So if you'd like to add an affordable basket of these metals to your portfolio, we encourage you to look into Swissmetal Inc., which is currently offering a holiday special that gives you the opportunity to save over $9,500 per basket.
