He really likes commodities. There's a major commodity secular movement happening. Gold, silver, and uranium have all popped, and there's a rotation within the commodity space. All that AI stuff involves either rare earth or base metals.

Hasn’t owned this because he just doesn’t feel comfortable in a situation where they are making strides on the cost side, and by trying to equalize the supply/demand situation. There has been a tremendous amount of supply in the smelters, and they have been shuttering smelters to try to equalize that. They are not completely in control because China is a big producer. However, the company has done a good job.
