Very speculative. It's a long-term lithium play. We will still buy e-cars, even though today's data showed a one-month drop in sales. LAC is another way to green your portfolio, like NFI-T. E-cars will be normal in 20 years. (Analysts’ price target is $12.68)

He does not like this company. Lithium is a good play, but does not see where it will be short supply. Copper is a better play longer term.

Part owner of a brine called Cauchari in Argentina. A joint venture they have done with SQM, probably the best operator of lithium brines globally. They recently completed a financing, both equity and debt, and offtake arrangements with a Chinese and Thai company. It was quite speculative, but no longer thinks it is. Enterprise Value is around $460 million, but could be well north of $1 billion in 2-3 years. It should be in operation by 2019. (Analysts’ price target is $1.70.)

All of a sudden there is a whole slew of interest on lithium, but thinks some of the stocks have gotten ahead of themselves. If you already own this, he would continue to Hold. The company has a particularly good project in Argentina, where there is a lot of lithium out of salt beds. They have done a joint venture with SQM out of Chile, one of the biggest players in lithium, which bodes really well for this company.
