Many of you want to pull your hair out, don't do that. It's your MIND SET you have to change. It's your financial smart you have to improve. The world was going to end in 2020, it didn't happen. There was going to be a recession in 21,22,23 didn't happen, now 24? Maybe, wait and see, not likely when Labor markets are short of workers. Higher interest rates means economies are strong. House prices are not crashing, in many areas they are rising. People are changing ICEs to EVs not the other way round, dont forget hybrids. Petrol pumps are being replaced with charges. It's your mindset you have to change. If you grew up with parents struggling financially, you will repeat what you saw. Forget the past, don't worry about the future, live today and be happy. There is always someone worse financially and physically then yourself. Be grateful. Don't chase money, the more you chase the further it runs away. If you make a financial mistake, own it and fix it, learn from it and don't repeat.
There will be a lithium chemicals deficit for years to come. The world production doubled in 5 years, by 2030 (7 years) world demand estimated 10-15× current, you do the maths. Why are the banks and chinese buying anything with the word lithium attached? The banks are not selling their lithium shares, they are selling (shorting) using other people's shares. The shares sit in trust and doesn't get sold. The lending of shares is similar to a credit card, giving credit to buy and sell, not the shares itself.
CXO shares were traded and closed 37c on 5/10/23. That's not the future price. Pick a number. The lithium space will continue to grow, the success of the business is dependent on the management, financial and execution, and your mindset. Look after the $ in your pocket now, the future will come soon enough. What you earn is your time (limited life) exchange for $ (credit) look after it. Only you can look after your pocket.
