3 Lithium Stocks to Keep an Eye On

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:

lexg 3 Lithium Stocks to Keep an Eye OnLithium 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.

 

ltum lithium stocks 3 Lithium Stocks to Keep an Eye OnLithium 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.

American Lithium AMLM

AMLM Oversold or Broken ?


american lithium amlm American Lithium AMLMAmerican Lithium Minerals (AMLM.PK) is a penny stock that we have had some success with before. As a matter of fact, it was a fairly big winner for our subscribers. At the time, lithium was extremely newsy, based on the demand for the metal in lithium-ion batteries used in cell phones, laptops and hybrid cars and trucks. Then there were news stories about events like the enormous mineral find in Afghanistan, and countries like Japan basically converting almost 3/4 of it battery use to lithium based batteries. Lithium essentially had a hot story that most industries would die for. A legitimate technological use for the metal, coupled with a green twist. A combination like this doesn’t come around often, and when it does, it generally leads to related stocks becoming very hot.

Penny stocks like Lithium Corporation (LTUM.OB) and AMLM absolutely ripped, both showing enormous gains for those who were invested. Then the mother load of all lithium penny stocks appeared on the market. The company was Lithium Exploration Group (LEXG.OB) and it’s move was a historic one, both on the way up and on the way down. LEXG ran up fast and furiously on a massive promotion, combined with some skillful PR’s. However, there was much more sizzle than steak and LEXG crumbled due to lack of fundamentals and investor confidence. The naked short sellers had a ball, and LEXG’s decline had nothing to do with the actual metal price or production.

AMLM reaps LEXG’s Benefits


During LEXG’s huge move to the upside, LTUM and AMLM also participated with brief runs dues to sympathy moves and some LEXG longs guessing that a rotation was coming into the two previously mentioned penny stocks. Then the seemingly inevitable happened, the shorts and skeptics finally were correct, and the market finally punished LEXG and it’s unsustainable market cap.

Two casualties of LEXG’s decline, were LTUM and AMLM, which seemed to be hit a little harder because of it’s pink sheets status. Now here is the tricky part. On a fundamental basis, AMLM obviously can’t be confused with other metal related stocks like Freeport MacMoran (FCX:NYSE) or US Steel (X:NYSE), because we all know American Lithium Minerals is as speculative as it gets. But, what if hybrid vehicle production rises ? How about if oil starts to rally again as it often does in the summer months ? And what about if another hot lithium penny stock appears via a reverse merger, and then subsequently creates some interest in the group. Or what if they receive additional seed money from the Japanese ?

Please keep in mind that we are not recommending that you purchase AMLM, it’s just too uncertain at this point. However, add AMLM to your penny stock list, because it doesn’t hurt to watch. The Nevada based company does have it’s Borat Hills land claims and is currently in the process of defending it’s 52 week low. So if the stars align correctly, a trade for penny stock scalpers could yet develop.

AMLM Back on the Watchlist – (OTC:AMLM)

AMLM- American Lithium Minerals Inc (OTC:AMLM)


american lithium minerals 300x178 AMLM Back on the Watchlist – (OTC:AMLM)We found this hidden penny stock gem back in early September around .90 (ironically that is where it is sitting right now) and by late October we were sitting up at 2.90. ENORMOUS GAINS!!!!

Put American Lithium AMLM back on your radar immediately. We have obviously been watching this company ever since we profiled it. We feel that AMLM is getting ready to rock.

Lithium has been hogging the headlines recently, even with gold making new highs.

Take a look here at this Wall Street Journal post

The estimates in this press release are off. They are now saying that there could possibly be up to $3 trillion worth of lithium. That is great news. They are inviting companies to come help mine the lithium and extract it from the ground. I have read reports that say Afghanistan could be 10 years away from mining any lithium.

This will be great in 10 years, but lithium is needed NOW and AMLM is sitting on what is being called the 2nd largest lithium deposit in the world. Lithium powers batteries for lap tops, cell phones, Ipod, Ipads, automobiles etc.


AMLM operates here within U.S. borders, where the laws are black and white. You don’t have to worry about dealing with foreign governments such as Afghanistan, Chile or Bolivia. AMLM’s claims are sitting in Nevada.

As we stated before when we profiled AMLM back in September, President Obama has made a promise to have 1 million American-made hybrid vehicles on the road by 2015. Most importantly, he’s backing it with money. The Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing program for battery development has been awarded $25 Billion, and this massive funding has ignited lithium projects left and right.

The industry currently can’t produce enough lithium to build the hundreds of millions of large-format batteries needed to power electric cars, and plug-in hybrids of the future. This is why the demand for lithium is continually increasing, and is projected to grow by 20% per year over the next decade!

AMLM also recently received a $4 Million dollar investment in their Borat Hills project (another region expected to be rich in Lithium) by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation.

The company will be a strategic partner in the Borat Hills Project; projected to yield a very large deposit of relatively high grades of lithium and boron (the region already contains the second largest boron deposit found in the United States).

We will have more on AMLM, but you should start doing your research immediately.
