    I'm considering opening a sizable position in LIT, a lithium etf.

    This is a pairs trade based off of the increasing demand of lithium batteries for electric vehicles. Tesla just announced they are going to be opening a gigafactory and are gonna need a shit ton of lithium to produce their tesla batteries for the cars. As electric cars gain more and more traction around the world due to the efficiency and clean energy, I think Lithium will be poised for at least a double bagger over the next few years.

    On top of that the lithium chart looks great, just breaking out of a multi year down trend.

    Let me know what you guys think of this play.

    I'm probably not gonna invest in a penny stock, but I am long the LIT etf, which holds shares in 22 lithium based companies. it broke out on high volume just recently after gigafactory news... target is a double bagger in 3-4 years

    Lithium-I'd suggest anyone involved consider taking some.

    I'd like to see the OP have a stronger argument, fleshed out more. Tesla needs batteries so the ETF should go up is too easy, not great. Give a great argument, one that will allow you to hold for the time you think.

    Double bagger over 3-4 years? Wow, what low standards... How many cars will Tesla be selling in that time frame? Couldn't TSLA be worth that much more?

    Why not just do some real work and analyze the companies in this sector and buy the best one or two?
