This seems like a simple case of "demand increases, price increases in the short term, production increases, things balance out" -- a textbook example of how a market is supposed to work. Did I miss something?
- sametmax 9y agoYes. You missed that it's an ad disguised as an article. Maybe someone need people to invest in lithium, or to make lithium based companies look good, or to divert attention to lithium from other things... All in all, someone from an entity with a lot of money involved sent a PR guy with a story to tell to journalists. And the journalists were happy to write it down because it's interesting enough, serious enough, and doesn't require too much work.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoIt clearly worked as there are several questions here about where to invest, we are easily manipulated aren't we.
- NicoJuicy 9y agoI invested a year ago and it is a interesting resource. As all car companies need Lithium. Renewable energy is also in the same ballpark
- sametmax 9y agoWell made ads are actually selling to people that would want to buy, not just any target that could buy, so it makes sense.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoI'm not doubting that, it may well be a good investment, it's just reacting to an advert isn't a good methodology for picking your investments.
- yoz-y 9y agoAre there any articles that aren’t ads then? This one very well could be one but is the default assumption that an article is an ad now?
- mikeokner 9y agoAKA every Bloomberg article.
- coldtea 9y agoThe limited nature of the resource, so that whether the demand, "production" cannot increase ad infinitum.
