Note from the author: I have no prior or existing financial relationship with Joe Lowry or any of his business interests. I have no business relationship with any company mentioned in this interview, nor I do own any shares of any of the companies mentioned here.
This is my fourth interview of “Mr. Lithium,” Joe Lowry. (Do people still call him that?) Following Joe’s advice by paying a pretty penny for his consulting services, or following him for free on Twitter and LinkedIn, is one of the absolute best ways to stay on top of the lithium sector. Although Joe does not give investment advice he sometimes issues public service announcements, warning followers to be careful not to believe everything they read or hear about lithium juniors. (Ask him what he thinks of the dozens of Li juniors heavily focused on projects in Nevada — actually, don’t…)
Still, reading between the lines, it’s been clear which names he has liked over the months and years. Lithium Americas (OTCQX:LACDF) and SQM (NYSE:SQM) are prime examples. Consider that LAC shares have more than doubled from an early July low of C$0.78 (it closed at C$1.70 on Sept. 15th) when rumblings suggested that SQM might not move forward on the LAC/SQM Cauchari-Olaroz project. Joe was among the first to squash those rumors, setting up what turned out to be a highly profitable buying opportunity. SQM is up 120% in the past 12 months (by comparison, the Global X Lithium ETF (LIT) is up 54%, and the S&P 500 Index is up 16%).
