on how to find rare earth metal companies in the Chart Library:
"I'm sorry to bother you with a niggling problem to which there is probably a very simple answer. I want to access up-to-date charts of the 'rare earth' stocks in the library. Entering 'rare earth' in the main search box simply brings up the Comments of the Day in which some stocks are mentioned. In Comment of the Day of 3rd September, your entry reads: " A Search of the Fullermoney Archive (fourth item down, upper left), will produce 22 items on 'rare earth' dating back to March 2009. A Search under 'rare earths' will produce 16 items dating back to January 2007.

"I can't quite figure out how to do this. Do I go to the archive dropdown menu (which isn't 4th item down, far left as far as I can tell) - then go to March 2009, or what? I'm sorry but I'm really bemused, and don't quite know how to access the 22 items dating back to March 2009 and the 16 items dating back to Jan 2007.

"Thanks in anticipation."

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this email which may be of interest to other subscribers new to using the Chart Library. When David said to search for 'rare earth' or 'rare earths' in the Fullermoney search engine he was referring to commentary focusing on the sector posted in Comment of the Day. A number of these pieces have included reviews of shares involved in the rare earth metals sector.

If you would like to group charts for all of the relevant shares in one place I would suggest performing one of the above searches to find a list of the shares concerned. You can then locate each of them in the Chart Library and put them in your Favourites. Once in your Favourites create a section, then drag and drop each of the charts into it. Once this has been accomplished you can review the group whenever you wish.

Here are detailed instructions on how to create a section in your Favourites

For example, I have performed a number of share reviews of the sector over the last year and counting. I posted a reasonably complete review of rare earth shares on September 13th. Each of the shares has a link to the respective chart where you can see the name and ticker displayed above the Chart Area. You can use either the share name or ticker in the Chart Library search to find each of the shares.

In the search results you will see a green '+' sign to the left of the title. Click on the '+' to add the instrument to your Favourites. Alternatively, there is also an 'Add to Favourites' tab above every chart.

I have been adding to my list of rare earth shares for more than a year, so to make things easier here is the most recent list of 20 shares, including Chinese producers, sorted by three-month performance.
