Stockchase Opinions

Jason Mann Lithium Americas LAC-N SHORT Sep 01, 2022

Lots of hype on lithium. Auto industry needs a ton. Challenge is many companies aren't profitable yet, and the valuations are very expensive due to hype. He's slightly short the stock. Positive trend, but expensive valuation and very volatile. No cashflow.
$26.925

The space is to much in flux. He prefers buying gold, like Barrick.

DON'T BUY
It's yet another way to play Elon Musk and EVs. It's a commodity trade and he doesn't trust commodities.
DON'T BUY

A good company, but like MP Materials it isn't innovative enough for me. He wants innovation.

BUY
With shares at $35-40, in options action they're buying upside calls at the 45 strike in April. He doesn't know if it gets that far that fast, but he likes the upside speculation. He bought the 35s and will sell upside calls against it. He strongly believes in lithium and nickel. He likes LAC a lot.
DON'T BUY
They're still losing money, and such stocks are no good in this market.
DON'T BUY

Lithium investor success tied to electronic car demand.
Commodity available all over Earth.
Big question is cost of mining.
Too much Lithium available.
Unsure on prospects of business.
Commodity style business.
Not a good long term investment. 

DON'T BUY

Elon Musk doesn't like the lithium companies and wants to be less dependent on them. He doesn't want to go against Musk.
