[Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has come up with a master plan* for ramping up car production which, if
achieved, could cause lithium stocks to skyrocket. Below are descriptions of 5 such companies that could become supercharged as a result.]
The comments above and below are excerpts from an article from SmallCapPower.com which has been edited ([ ]) and abridged (…) to provide a faster and easier read.
[*The “master plan” behind Tesla:
We previously showed the extraordinary amounts of materials needed to build a Tesla Model S. The batteries, which currently use an NCA cathode formulation, need lithium, graphite, cobalt, nickel, and other base metals that aren’t used as much in an internal combustion engine. This has created a significant rush for suppliers of these raw materials. It’s also something we are covering in our five-part Battery Series, in which we are looking at lithium-ion battery demand, as well as the materials that will need to be sourced as electric cars go mainstream.

Buying penny stocks can pay off extremely well when it succeeds but, in addition to the business odds against success, it’s much easier to launch and promote a stock than it is to find a mine, for example, or invent a new battery.
