Q: Hi 5i,

I currently have a small investment in each of these two companies (NLC:CA and SLI:CA). The share price for both companies has increased significantly in the last couple of weeks and has generally been fairly volatile. I invested into the companies in the expectation that lithium mining will prove to be more lucrative in the near future due to the need for lithium in producing batteries for electric cars. I'm not sure if the share price is too high though at the moment or if this is only the beginning of the growth. I am unsure whether I should invest more into these companies right now or hold off for now. Do you have a target price for either of these companies? Do you have any reservations about either one? Is there a better Lithium mining company that I should shift to? Thank you!

Q: Have received quite an extensive package of information in the mail from BHP Minerals. They want me to tender my shares of NOT. I only have 1000 shares but I am curious why they are going to such length & expense to get shares? Obviously they see value that I am not privy to. I have held for 10+ yrs and have mostly written them off. Should I sell or hold?

Q: Any ideas why it jumped so much in the last few days? Do you have any good website for this kind of information (ie reliable speculation / gossip) besides google search and yahoo finance individual stock forums? I am a bit wary to see it jump so quickly on no news. I regretted not selling back when the stock price was in the 30s and dont want to make the same mistake again. If it were you, is this stock a sell or hold?

Q: Peter and crew; I am underwater on MP materials and not afraid to take a loss and move on but don’t wish to leave a company that has reasonable recovery potential. I would appreciate your thoughts and if moving on is the way to go, do you have one or two suggestions for a medium risk portfolio?
PS, I enjoy your contributions in National Post.
