Why This Metal Is A Good Buy Now
I’ll describe the nickel supply and demand environment, which is now getting interesting.

This also creates an interesting risk reward investment situation.

Introduction

In the last two years, you’ve seen me be extremely bullish on copper and zinc. In the last year and a half, copper prices are up more than 50% while zinc prices are up more than 100%. Was my past analysis just a lucky guess or real knowledge? If there had been a global recession, I would have been dead wrong but there was a significant probability that both metals would rise and I was able to see that because investing in commodities is relatively easy.

This Is How You Get Returns Over 1,000%
There are many examples of simple investments that returned more than 1,000%, some even 10,000%, over the last few decades.

In order to take advantage of such investments, you have to look at the extremes of what could happen in the next few years that aren’t included in the current economic models that use statistical averages.

Statistical averages are what you have to look for to protect you from negative surprises and open your portfolio to extremely positive surprises.

Introduction

A friend of mine just sold his home in Central London for 2.4 million pounds which is an average price in London. However, what’s interesting is that he bought the property in 1996 for just 160,000 pounds. In just 20 years, the value of his London property increased 15 times.

Another example I have is from a recent WSJ article where a Park Avenue penthouse is selling for about $18 million. The funny thing is that the property was empty for 27 years as it was owned by the Former Republic of Yugoslavia which also allows us to know what the purchase price was in 1975. The purchase price was $100,000. In 40 years, the value of this property in New York increased 180 times. More →

The Electric Vehicle Trend Will Be Explosive – Here’s How To Profit On It
The latest news surrounding the electric vehicle market is extremely positive.

However, not every related investment will do well. We’ll discuss car manufacturers, graphite, cobalt, nickel, copper, and lithium.

There’s one way to profit from the growing trend that carries little risk, is already profitable, and definitely offers high upside in the next decade.

Introduction

We all know transportation will be electric in the future. However, this doesn’t mean that every investment in the sector is a smart investment.

A great example of how investments in hot trends can work out is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and this example is the best-case scenario out there. More →

Miss Out On The Rise In Cobalt & Lithium? Here’s Another Metal To Keep An Eye On
Nickel is used in Tesla’s batteries, but its price hasn’t surged like cobalt or lithium has.

Supply is expected to be stable while more electric vehicle production could increase demand by 20% per year.

A long period of low investments, higher demand alongside stable supply could lead to a spike in nickel prices.

Introduction

When most people think about batteries and their composition, they mostly think about lithium as batteries are called “lithium-ion batteries.” However, lithium is only one of the metals that goes into a battery. The approximate amount of lithium used in a Tesla Model S battery pack is 63kg of a 453 kg battery. So there is another 390kg to address. A look at what other metals are used to make batteries for electric vehicles will give us interesting investing ideas. More →
