"Notice how the price of lead is starting to decline as Lithium starts to enter the heavy power market for batteries."

There is no causal link between the historical price of lead and lithium that I can see from what you have presented here pallister.

Selectively posting a historical price chart for a commodity that suits a particular argument is not good analysis. In fact, I think it is misleading.

When I read your post I thought - hmm I wonder how many other metals fell sharply in 2009 ish (GFC).

So I went to the same site as you did and had a bit of a look around.

I thought "hmm what about the price of cobalt." Chart below.

And then I thought - "... hmm I might just find another example just to ensure that my supposition is sustainable." I then had a look at nickel.

Both are very similar to the lead chart. I suspect there's more examples.

And here's nickel.

Just be careful what you read folks - particularly if you're new to this game.

Enjoy the weekend.
