ok here is my hot tip for the new thread. it's not going to make much sense unless you trade these things already, but on the chance anyone else here likes to trade custodials (bankrupt shells that are being cleaned up and merged into) on the OTC: all major us brokers have stopped letting people buy no-info OTC stocks ahead of the September 28 deadline. It's part of a major SEC clean up of the OTC. however, if you have an international brokerage (like interactive brokers), you can still buy them. so for like a two-week window, it's you and the market makers who can pretty much buy as these stocks go on discount sales. after sept 28, the no info stocks are going to the grays, or the expert market, or whatever weird space they are going to send them. of course most of this stuff is junk, but a few of the custodial stocks are worthwhile purchases--people are rushing the paperwork to try to get them current for the deadline. i have an IBKR acct and so i've bought some, but don't have the time right now or the cash (or the risk appetite) to go crazy with it, but there is money to be made in this mess and someone is probably going to make a lot of it. these SEC changes are bringing about the twilight of a good trade. custodials, when played right (and i was still learning), were good money.

It's tough to decide which cart to put in front of which horse in the EV space. I thought it was the charging stations. Now I'm wondering is it the recycling of the huge batteries-- Li-Cycle Holdings Corp.(NYSE:LICY)breaks higher after Morgan Stanley starts off coverage on the lithium-ion battery recycling player with an Overweight rating. Analyst Adam Jonas notes that Li-Cycle aims to not only address the growing issue of end-of-life disposal of lithium-ion batteries, but to create a closed-loop supply chain for critical battery materials. "With its ability to process any battery regardless of chemistry, form factor, or size, we think Li-Cycle is well positioned to benefit from the mega trend of EV adoption through an ESG friendly process at a time when a domestic supply of strategic battery materials is increasingly under focus," he writes. Jonas and team see electric vehicle battery recycling as likely to grow to a very large market with recurring revenues and significant government/policy support due to the environmental externalities and national security implications of mining/material sourcing. Li-Cycle's value proposition in the growing market is called compelling. The firm assigns a price target of $15 to Li-Cycle (LICY). Shares of LICY are up 4.94% premarket to $8.49 in premarket action. Li-Cycle attracted a bull call from BMO Capital last week. I know we are not going to do much ST trading here.... LICY--
