@Trees.
All welcome. To tell tales of trading done or not done, strategies followed or discarded, lessons learnt or yet to be. Then charts. Then music.
Enjoy the weekend and enjoy those you enjoy the weekend with.
As for the markets, what was it Heraclitus said about change.
Back in the day, at the turn of the century, pegmatites were all about the tantalum. Sons of Gwalia, before imploding, owned both Greenbushes and Wodgina, as well as having something to do with Bald Hill and Cattlin Ck - for the tantalum - they produced 75% of the global supply from Greenbushes and Wodgina, (with Li an afterthought, being mined just for use in ceramics and glass). Tantalum was mined for its use in the hot technologies of the day, like 3g flip phones, 2ghz processor mb's capacitors, video cameras and the like.
Courtesy of Heraclitus here's some pegmatite stocks with exploration currently underway, or planned (not exhaustive, or necessarily accurate and they may do tantalum as well)
