Q: Hi 5i. I am interested in the lithium space. I have listed three stocks that I have found. Would you recommend this space and if so what would be your favourite? It doesn't have to be from my list.

Thanks again for your reasoned advice.

Q: As the demand for electric vehicles inevitably grows over the coming years the demand for certain metals will stretch the supply from current mines. Given how long it normally takes years to get new mines approved and operational I suspect that there are some mining companies with existing assets could be well placed to take advantage of this probable market gap. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Q: Hi guys
From what i have been reading (Tony Siba) next year is the tipping point for purely economic reasons, it won't make any sense economically to buy a gasoline powered vehicle. From his point of view Batteries are going to be a huge disruptive technology in the future in both, transportation and energy (natural gas) as they become cheaper, and much more powerful.
Have you guys been looking for any investment opportunities in this sector.?
Thanks Gord

Q: My Husband and I have some funds to add to our TFSA's. We have a basket of solid dividend paying stocks between us. My husband has a small position in LAC and has been following it closely. He says they are executing their development plans in Argentina and Nevada and the stock is starting to move.. Would you agree? What's your take on LAC for a 4-5 year hold to participate in the EV boom?

Thank you for the great work. We've done well by your advice.

Q: With regards to cobalt prices, its difficult to get a handle on the scarcity/abundance of the metal. It was supposed to be scarce 2-3 years ago, now it seems every region has some and the prices have drifted off. Co $40-$14 yoy.
So is it scarce like quality gold mines, or abundant like cannibis grow ops (all of us can grow four plants)?
Conversely, lithium prices have gone up historically.
First, since its hard to get accurate info, have I got the price movement right? Then, is it better to invest in lithium companies or cobalt companies going forward with a view of increased electric car sales in the future?
May I have your insight on the space?

Q: Lithium Americas Corp
The share price has basically dropped by approximately 50% YTD. With such a decline in the share price over the past several months, I would like to know what your opinions are on the reasons for such a decline? Do you consider it still a good investment or are there other companies that would be a better investment. What potential do you see coming out of their 50% interest in Minera Exar and the developing of the Cauchari-Ocaroz lithium project in Jujuy Argentina.

Q: It looks like electric powered vehicles are an inevitable winner as we continue to struggle with climate change. The need for better batteries to power these vehicles also seems inevitable. It seems like an investment in this trend is a winner. My question is, how would 5i suggest we as members take advantage of this opportunity? Please suggest some areas to focus on and what you consider to be the best companies in each area to invest in. Again, thank-you for your considered opinions.
