Lithium

[themickey]

I disagree...lithium started taking a dump in Nov of 2017......

No it didn't, please post your chart on lithium.

I should emphasize I was looking at lithium etf went I typed that. Price of lithium seemed to zig zag until January'


nasdaq vs lit

lithium price

Here's copper

Lithium prices will plummet in the medium to long run because most of the world's lithium batteries will be replaced by a new technology where fluoride based chemicals react and result in higher power retention capabilities and capacity, essentially further shrinking size to provide the same power. This technology is still in its infancy but will definitely disrupt the entire lithium chain.

lithium trader & investor expectations are that lithium prices could rise in 2019.
The lithium price outlook sharply divides the bulls and bears as both global supply and demand are hard to get an accurate forecast on due to the complex nature of operators on both side of the equation.
Adding to the opaqueness is the fact that neither lithium spot or futures prices are openly traded on an exchange or similar public price-fixing mechanism such as gold, oil, copper, or silver prices for example.
Investors are reliant on the prices reported by the miners themselves to get a gauge on where prices sit.
In the absence of any other news it’s likely that the lithium miners are heading higher on some strong prices being privately reported by miners or industry players.

Around 60% of total lithium produced globally comes from the “lithium triangle” in the region of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia.

Do you have a link to some research that points to this development?

By providing the link you have saved me from the extra calorie count in the amount of energy expended by clicking GOOG and searching searching searching. Based on the abstract, it seems to me that the fluoride tech is decades away from any potential commercial application, if it ever proves to be feasible in the first place.

It's 2 years out I reckon from all the content I read on this topic.

Lithium Battery powered cars for all, aren't Viable, cars are getting bigger and bigger to solve the range issue and heavier, so taking more power from the grid per mile, the lithium is nasty to mine and use and costly to recycle power useage wise, it might go up short term but long term it's a doomed prospect.

Honda have a working, 10x's the densitiy of Lithium I see, based on Flouride ( ie toothpaste ), much better supply and recycling potential and be able to make small EV's with good range, which take very little power to generate, this IF they can get it into a car will kill Lithium dead

The big market here's everything else that's battery powered. When everyone and their mother's coming out w/lithium ion power tools all made in the same factory in China, you can be damned sure Lithium's got a bright future.

Lithium is nasty dont want lithium.

There opening up old coal mines and exracting lithium so supply is short term out stripping demand, but lithium is pretty rare and demand is going to sky rocket so will prices.

Doubt flouride will get there first, Honda might keep the rights for 30years and we’ll all be driving Honda’s.
