While I agree that the push for EV's is gaining momentum I would urge extreme caution when investing. This is basically a new market with many new and changing technologies emerging. It's extremely difficult to pick the long term winners in this situation. Any battery company you might invest in could be basically wiped out by another new breakthrough. The safer play is to look at companies that will benefit from the EV market regardless of the technology used. I've taken small positions in some battery companies but they are basically a gamble I can afford to lose.
Do you guys feel the the push that EV's are coming in a big way?

I understand your approach, but I have more of a hedge fund type of investment strategy. You must take chances early for the big payoff. I do complete weeks of DD on each stock I purchase.
For example:
SQM - great buy, produces most of worlds lithium.
Many of the battery producers i rely on contract info, if they have no solid contracts, but "talk a big game" then I stay away. You must read each SEC filing to get the truth.
I was a stock promoter at one time, R&L Promotions, we built websites, pumped on message boards, etc....we would get paid in restricted stock.
I also take in the amount of lithium batteries being made and the need. As of today, the market if BOOMING, EV's, solar storage, wind storage, home storage, military orders. Every avenue is using lithium now. There are some "new" technologies that "might" compete with lithium, but they are atleast 5 to 10 years away.
Email alerts from Google and Yahoo will make and save you tons of money.

The biofuel stocks I owned produced 2nd generation biofuels. Biocrude oil produce from biomass waste and MSW waste. I also like cellulosic ethanol, but none have a chance now. I did make some profits.
Yes, i agree to some point. The only problem is much smaller profits. A study was conducted, if every household in America had one EV the grid would only need 10% more electricity.
If you purchased some of the "larger" solar companies your return you have been $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Just check the charts.
The only problem with "caution" is you may miss the boat. The Lithium business will continue to grow with or without ev's. The major companies are all getting military contracts.
Haha, yeah every update came with claims like that.If you purchased some of the "larger" solar companies your return you have been $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Just check the charts.
LOL. Never listen to the updates from websites promoting stocks. They will give you "tips" at times, but they all have their own interest. Always complete your own DD, the charts don't lie. SEC filings don't lie.
Look at these chart
If you bought SQM in 2008 you would have made $$$$$$$$$$

Military contracts don't mean much. ALTI has had military contracts for a while. They just had to do a 4:1 reverse split to avoid de-listing.The only problem with "caution" is you may miss the boat. The Lithium business will continue to grow with or without ev's. The major companies are all getting military contracts.
I am afraid I do not follow you. If you check the large or small solar companies, they have all collapsed since 2008 when Germany announced huge cuts in subsidies and relaxed oil prices. Some of them like EverGreen have lost 95% of their value and strictly ghost companies with no production.If you purchased some of the "larger" solar companies your return you have been $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Just check the charts.
EV's like solar cannot survive without huge government subsidies.
Actually most of their updates involved articles centered around graphs much like the one you just posted.LOL. Never listen to the updates from websites promoting stocks. They will give you "tips" at times, but they all have their own interest. Always complete your own DD, the charts don't lie. SEC filings don't lie.
I'm not really sure what you are trying to do here.
