future for graphite

Graphite, especially of the quality needed to meet the requirements of the emerging technologies, has only been identified in a handful of regions and when the current market trepidation gives way to more rational behavior graphite will regain vitality. Many graphite stocks are still based on exploration rather than production; however, the lower trading volumes and prices of the past months are also a reflection of retail and institutional investors switching to the big-caps and perhaps a perception that the projects will not be able to attract sufficient capital to ferry their projects from exploration to production. Savvy investors will realize that the time to invest in such critical commodities is now before we start running out of supplies and prices burst. If it’s any indication, Tesla Motors, a company that makes vehicles exclusively powered by lithium-ion batteries was the hottest stock on Wall Street last week. Somebody is bound to realize that graphite is important.
