Here's the performance table for the month up to 30 November (take 2) for the ASX listed Quebec oriented lithium carpet baggers.

Pretty grim all around, to be honest. Allkem still has not got its permitting for the James Bay project as it moves towards being totally rogered by an ex-Goldman Sachs banker, Winsome's Chris Evans is turning out to be more talk than walk at Adina and my impression is that none of the 33 junior carpet baggers I track are showing much form to suggest they are up for joining the champions league.

As I commented in my false start post earlier in the week, probably now is the time to be picking up rough diamonds - according to the legendary contrarian stock-picker, Marc Faber, you don't buy when the stocks are hated but rather when the stocks are ignored. Trouble is with the companies vying for the malibu Cup I find it hard to separate the lithium from the hopium.
