@RanaTells Unless you’re living in an Islamic majority province in Russia. And thousands of your young men have been sent to Ukraine to face certain death, Putin has been sending people in high numbers from provinces that are not as friendly to Moscow.
@MalcolmNance Agree likely Islamics from Russian Province sick of Putin sending their young men to certain death in Ukraine - Putin using Ukraine to reduce the strength of Provinces not friendly to Moscow
Hey @KatieBrittforAL why did you lie about the cartel gang rape during your #SOTUResponse ? This guy has receipts that it happened during GW Bush’s presidency, and that it didn’t happen in the US. You need to answer for this.
Just got off the phone w/ my family in Malaysia; they were shocked by news of Ian's death as they'd bought 3 bricks of cocaine from him just 24 hrs ago.
My 10-yr-old niece said w/ tears in her eyes, "IanKanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture crossover I can celebrate🙏

Interesting announcement by $PLS this morning. $PLS is going to add another 150kt of spodumene concentrate to their existing offtake agreement with Ganfeng, bringing the total to 310kt this year. Here are my thoughts whilst I sip my morning coffee.
Why would Ganfeng suddenly want to almost double their offtake with $PLS?
Following on from my previous post, I mentioned that the reason China was suppressing the price with low grade internal sources (lepidolite) was to bide time to build stakes in overseas, high quality lithium plays and to gain more buying power to get access to cheaper material (spod concentrate). Well, we are seeing the later right now. China are locking in large amounts of spod concentrate at the very suppressed market price.
They aim to soak up the current supply while the market price is low, essentially building a stockpile. Battery manufacturers who aren't following a similar strategy will encounter supply shortages, along with delays in acquiring new supplies. Both will lead to higher prices in time.
This is due to the time required to restart mines that are currently closed or under maintenance ($CXO for an example), and also those that need to be constructed. Consequently, these manufacturers will face increased costs for lithium in the future.
On a separate but related note regarding price, Goldman Sachs are saying that a lithium carbonate price of $US11,000 is possible.
@globallithium in one of his posts mentioned that the math doesn't check out for a Lithium Carbonate price this low. He's 100% right and here's why (below is for Hydroxide):
7 tonnes of SC6 is needed for 1 tonne of LiOH
Current spot price of SC6 = $US1000.
Lithium Hydroxide Processing Costs - $3500-$4000
7 x $US1000 + $US4000 = $US11,000.
The cost price to make 1 tonne of LiOH is around $11,000... Mind you most Australian spodumene producers are dying at around these spodumene prices...🤪
Thanks for reading!
In a new survey, 4 out of 5 Israeli Jews believe the government and Netanyahu are to blame for Hamas's attack last week (that includes 79% of the government's supporters). A majority of Israeli Jews want Netanyahu to resign at the end of the war: https://t.co/QPK6zwCVfr
Congrats to @NanoOne_NANO & the man with one tweet (aka X) @DanBlondal - great to see the alliance with a world leader in the battery supply chain.

In early October Lithium Americas is set to officially split into two separately listed public companies. Which best describes your plans for $LAC $LAAC?
Please repost for broader sample.
Feel free to reply w/ comment on your rationale.

Further evidence that certain “experts” saying #LFP is headed for extinction are wrong. Of course an investment in @NanoOne_NANO would make the most sense but glad to see North America waking up. https://t.co/biwMlBF3Kj
@WallStreetSilv Please Stop - he was highly armed, had Battle Gear and publicly threatened Biden and the FBI. A 75 yo man with a bevy of Assault Rifles talking smack and making threats publicly is not a “helpless old man”
