    When the market is not supporting the EV / stationary storage with increasing raw material prices the market appears very quick to turn negative on new energy resource producers. The 2018-2020 prices of lithium companies is an example, a lot of lithium was going to be needed but some Australian mines had come online creating a short-term over-supply situation. Covid lockdown's didn't help. The price of lithium was reflecting short-term supply/demand dynamics not longer-term supply/demand dynamics or supply/demand where China is not involved in processing (re USA's IRA). For lithium this created a low price situation and producing companies like PLS got as low as sub-20c (from earlier high's of slightly over one dollar). The share price spent a couple of years falling before taking off and takeoff it has. I've shown through to the end of 2020 below so the graph doesn't distort on historical prices but after that PLS continued up and is now in the $4 to $5 range and paying dividends.

    A key difference is that EGR isn't producing however the current EGR share price would now appear to have minimal optimism built in around future prospects. EGR need to deliver something to turn that sentiment around and until then we wait.
