Can anyone explain why Fe, Co, & Ni are the only ferromagnetic

	metals? 
	
	(Ferromagnetic-retaining magnetic property once magnetized.)

As you all know, on Monday, Farrokh asked the challenging question of
why FE, CO and NI are the only ferromagnetic metals.

My reply to Farrokh is this:

An answer to your question would be more forthcoming if the premise
of the question was correct.  In fact, Maganese (MN) metal may also
be rendered ferromagnetic with the proper treatment.

Care to restate the question?
