Vanadium was talked about 3-4 years ago. Currently it is used mostly for hardening steel. Although its price is still cheap on a historical basis, the fact that it can be replaced with other alloying components makes it less attractive an investment than say some rare earth metals (but of course the rare earth train left the station ages ago).
