Three Top Lithium Stocks to Buy and Hold Now
by Ian Cooper

Lithium stocks are coming back strong.

Especially with electric vehicle sales set to accelerate. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), “Global sales of electric cars are set to surge to yet another record this year, expanding their share of the overall car market to close to one-fifth.”

In addition, the IEA noted, “The new edition of the IEA’s annual Global Electric Vehicle Outlook shows that more than 10 million electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022 and that sales are expected to grow by another 35% this year to reach 14 million.”

Better, according to Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, there’s not enough lithium go around for the industry’s plans. “We know that we need lithium. We know that we are not producing as much as we need. We have right now 1.3 billion cars (that are) internal combustion engine powered on the planet. We need to replace that with clean mobility. That will need a lot of lithium,” he said, as quoted by The Detroit News.

Albemarle (ALB)

Not only is ALB getting a boost from the lithium supply-demand story, the company just announced a definitive agreement with Ford Motor. ALB will deliver battery-grade lithium hydroxide to support the automaker’s ability to scale electric vehicle (EV) production, according to the press release. Albemarle will supply more than 100,000 metric tons of battery-grade lithium hydroxide for approximately 3 million future Ford EV batteries. The five-year supply agreement starts in 2026 and continues through 2030.

Synthetic Stock Strategies
by Stephen Bigalow

An interesting concept is the synthetic stock strategy. This is the use of options to set up a position that acts exactly like a stock, but without having to trade in the stock. The synthetic does require collateral for a short option, but it allows you to take the same opportunity and risk profile as a stockholder, while limiting your risk exposure.

Because no stock ownership is involved in a synthetic stock position, a loss on the short side can be rolled and replaced easily. You cannot accomplish this if you are holding shares of stock, so the synthetic position is advantageous. Secondly, if you are bearish, a synthetic stock position allows you to set up a position that acts just like short stock, but without requiring you to actually go short. That is a high-risk position that can also be expensive. When you short a stock, you have to borrow stock from your broker and then sell it. As long as this short position remains open, you have to pay interest on the borrowed shares. You hope the share price declines, so shares can be bought to close at a profit. However, if share prices rise, you could end up with a high loss as well as having to repay your broker. This problem is solved with the synthetic stock strategy.

First Things First

Earnings Season is winding down. Fewer and fewer noteworthy releases are scheduled for this upcoming week. Here are the ones which have options worth trading. At least worth considering trading.

Tuesday, May 23
Before the Open: AutoZone (AZO), Lowes Companies (LOW)

Wednesday, May 24
After the Close: Nvidia (NVDA)

Thursday, May 25
Before the Open: Best Buy (BBY)

After the Close: Costco (COST)

The one I am most personally interested in is Nvidia (NVDA). I’m interested because Nvidia has more than doubled in price this year. Not “in a year” but since the beginning of this year 5 ½ months ago.

Nvidia is at the forefront of “AI” (Artificial Intelligence). And I happen to be intelligent enough to realize that AI is what’s driving the market right now.

3) Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading and investing involve substantial risk. Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Other than the refund policy detailed elsewhere, TradeWins does not make any guarantee or other promise as to any results that may be obtained from using the Services. No person subscribing for the Services (“Subscriber”) should make any investment decision without first consulting his or her own personal financial adviser, broker or consultant. TradeWins disclaims any and all liability in the event anything contained in the Services proves to be inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable, or results in any investment or other loss by a Subscriber.

4) You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

5) All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

8) The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber’s own election and for the Subscriber’s own risk.
