I have lithium in my backyard in a lot of the rocks, but that does not make it viable for mining. It's not about the abundance of an element it's whether it exists in a high enough concentration, volume and depth that enables economic extraction.
IMO this FUD spreading weazel just needs to be removed from Hot Copper, quite clear a lot of short sellers sparing nothing to help their cause whether fact, fiction or other.
IMO short selling just needs to be outlawed.
If I OWN a stock then it's MY right to sell if I want or feel the company is not performing etc.
It is NOT the right of someone that does NOT own shares to BORROW and then SELL.
Some time when times are tough investors (people that own stock) want to HOLD (simple concept) however our Government thinks in these times it's OK to let others (brokers) to lend out stock (without permission) for soul purpose of shorting and sending the stock in a negative direction.
