Apple's Dirty Little Rare Earth Secret - Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) | Seeking Alpha
Here is an outstanding article which covers Apple, its suppliers, and its use of rare earth elements in iPhones. The article goes into great detail about how REEs are essential to Apple's phones. Apple's suppliers use REEs as well to produce iPhone parts. Three notable companies are NXPI, SWKS, and AVGO. I own the first two of these suppliers, and I am planning to buy AVGO (Avago) within a week.
In addition, the author suggests three American REE companies that Apple could rely on rather than China for rare earth elements. REE, TRER, and UURAF were the companies that were mentioned. I own TRER and UURAF, and I have owned REE in the past. Be aware that rare earth companies are very volatile. A small position could become a large one if a rare earth company takes off, though.

UNG: A Young Natural Gas Bull Rages On - The United States Natural Gas ETF, LP (NYSEARCA:UNG) | Seeking Alpha
UNG: A Young Natural Gas Bull Rages On - The United States Natural Gas ETF, LP (NYSEARCA:UNG) | Seeking Alpha
This is an excellent article about natural gas. Of course, the volatility is not over, but I believe we are close enough to the bottom that I bought a position in UGAZ this morning. Utilities are probably still switching from coal to natural gas, and there is still the possibility of exporting nat gas in the future. Also, the dropping rig count will cause price spikes eventually.

Pacific Coast Oil Trust: 6.5% Yield With Income Upside - Pacific Coast Oil Trust (NYSE:ROYT) | Seeking Alpha
Pacific Coast Oil Trust: 6.5% Yield With Income Upside - Pacific Coast Oil Trust (NYSE:ROYT) | Seeking Alpha
Here is an interesting article about ROYT. The author as well as those who commented will give you a good idea about what the company does along with its prospects. There is certainly disagreement on the outcome of ROYT, but I own shares of the company. I think the dividend is worthwhile, and I believe there is a capital gain upside as well.

Stocks At The Crossroads: Breakout Or Breakdown? | Seeking Alpha
Stocks At The Crossroads: Breakout Or Breakdown? | Seeking Alpha
Eric Parnell has written another outstanding article about the state of the stock market. He presented several charts which showed a bullish breakout such as the NYSE stocks above their 200 day lines, $NYA200R. The advance-decline line also supports rising stocks, $NYAD. In addition, Eric mentioned foreign currency hedge stocks which are also bullish, HEDJ and DXJ.
Moreover, bonds are going down. TMF, the triple long government bond ETF, has recently broken its former long-term trend to the downside. So, being long on stocks is the place to invest right now although I agree with Eric that we could have another downside reversal at any time. I like TQQQ for playing the Nasdaq upside, and I also plan to buy NXPI, a mobile payment chip stock.

Barchart.com - Futures Prices for Crude Oil WTI
Barchart.com - Futures Prices for Crude Oil WTI
This is a link to oil futures which shows a likely increase in the price of oil by the end of 2015. Be aware, though, that the futures prices can suddenly change either up or down. REXX and OAS are two oil companies which may be able to thrive under these circumstances. Be certain to buy when prices are low, and you will want to take some profit after each 20-50% gain.

Here is a link to what we can probably expect from natural gas prices in 2015. Natural gas will go up, but it will not be a rocket taking off. You can probably make money on good companies like OKE, GST, and REXX. With stock market volatility, you will be able to buy at low points also.

Onion Bulb Extract|Tinctures-Liquid Herbal Extracts & Their Uses
Onion Bulb Extract|Tinctures-Liquid Herbal Extracts & Their Uses
As I occasionally do, I will talk about subjects other than the stock market. The link above goes to a health website where you can get a liquid extract of onion oil in a bottle with a squeeze dropper so that you can add just the right amount of the extract that works for you. I am planning to order a bottle tonight from this website. In a side note, I added just four drops of onion extract from another company to my tomato juice tonight, and just a few hours later the onion extract seemed to be doing wonders on my winter-chilled body. It was acting as an expectorant for my lungs and a decongestant for my nose. This is just one of the good benefits of onion extract.
Onion extract can also be an aphrodisiac, a blood thinner, raises HDL cholesterol and clears out the bad LDL, and it can help in diabetes. Onion extract can also fight against cancer, helps with osteoarthritis, and rebuilds connective tissue. In addition, onions are anti-bacterial, and they reportedly help against hair loss due to the sulfur content. If you decide to try a bottle of onion extract, you should start off with just a few drops at first to be sure your body does not overreact. There has been at least one report that some people can be allergic to onions.
