Lithium Stocks LEXG, AMLM, LTUM
Lithium stocks have had a love-hate relationship with investors in the past year. This especially is true in regards to a slew of lithium penny stocks that have both made and lost tidy sums for speculative investors.
As complex as the lithium stocks story sounds to some, it’s actually pretty simple. Mainly because there are two major uses for this new, green energy technology. The first is the use of Lithium in Hybrid and Plug In vehicles. With the potential of rising oil and a commitment from the automotive companies, some industry experts feel that more than 50 million vehicles per year will be replaced by hybrid vehicles.
The second use for Lithium Ion batteries also hits home, and has to do with powering your good old laptop, and other portable electronic devices. Most consumers are looking for longer usage out of mobile products and lithium seems to be a solution to this issue.
Lithium Stocks Driven by Technology Advancements
Now, while many understand that worldwide demand for lithium could be on the rise in the near future, others feel that the the story is still a concept. Especially, in relation to lithium stocks, both micro cap and penny stocks. Many institutional investors often stay away from “concept stocks” in down markets. However, successful concept stocks are often in only in the 2nd or 3rd inning of their long term growth phase.
Today, we are going to look at three different names. All are super speculative penny stocks and should be viewed purely as trading vehicles just in case lithium stocks get hot again. Who knows. Maybe oil will go to $130 again ? Or perhaps we will see further demand for lithium in the Far East ?
For now, just add these three lithium stocks to your penny stock list. One industry based news story can change the sentiment for weeks. Here they are below:
Lithium Exploration Group (LEXG:OB) LEXG was one of the biggest penny stock winners of the year, but it came crashing down after naked shorting and profit taking took over. The shares consequently never recovered. Much of the upward move was based on fluffy PR’s, but the stock does have a tremendous following and could be a go to name for spec traders if the sector gets hot.
American Lithium Minerals (AMLM.OB) Right now, American Lithium is as dead as a door knob. Back in April, shares spiked in sympathy of LEXG only to fall back to even lower levels. Watch this name at the 52 week lows. If lithium stocks somehow get hot again, there could be a nice opportunity in AMLM for high level percentage gains.
Lithium Corporation (LTUM.OB) Shares of LTUM have recently been the best performer of the three. LTUM moved nicely on news of drilling at Cortez. This announcement only shows how little it takes to moves these stocks. As did AMLM, shares of LTUM also piggy backed the short term success of LEXG back in April. Out of these three lithium names, LTUM seems to be the furthest along on a fundamental basis and should be added to your watch list on a just in case basis.
Keep in mind that by no means are we saying to buy theses at these levels, but they surely should be followed.
