I'm going back through a lot of my original research on lithium. Here is a long but excellent piece on what a Biden administration and his green policies will mean more mining going forward. The demand for lithium and other materials will go up exponentially and recycling will be favored.

Sounds like a pump and dump. Thanks for the rec. I'll shift to abml and there are other lithium stocks actually mining currently.

One stock is $.032 and one is $3.30. To me they are I think winners in the long term. If you want the safest bet to positive returns going forward, ABML is the choice. But remember, not too ago ABML was $.02 and people were saying they will fold. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.

Ok just new to this and obviously jumpy.

That's just the nature of penny stocks. There's a reason they're so cheap. One wrong move, one key departure, one key permit denial, one key patent rejection, an unfortunately timed downturn dries up funding, etc. etc. is all it takes to reduce a fledgling company to the dust bin of history. If you get in on the ground floor of one that makes it as a company you can do fantastically well, but the reality is most won't make it that far.

ABML is further along than BMIX, but they are still a collection of ~15 people with an idea. They have plans and expertise, but no infrastructure, no offices, no IP, and no revenue stream. Not to say they won't be successful, they very well may eventually. But that's the reality of where the company is right now. They have a lot of pitfalls yet to clear before they resemble anything close to a dependable investment.

I dont either. I think it could... and I don't mean snowballs chance in hell "could." But would require a very deliberate shift that I don't think is likely.

Appreciate you sharing. We have a financial advisor who is steady, and careful. but I want to take some speculative positions. Not looking for a homerun. Just a triple or ground rule double would be great.

Just doing my DD, they have exploratory permits. Two new ones on Thursday but no upward movement on the stock. Looking at Brazilian mining laws, exploratory permits are only phase 1. They would still need to apply for mining permits. They haven't done that yet. How can you make money mining lithium when you haven't even started to mine yet? Couple that with the rise of ABML and the benefit of recycling lithium here in the states, lessens the need to mine in other countries.

I'm stuck at my position but the more I research, the less confident I am in it. Lesson learned on buying into the hype and when to position. Thanks for the education HoustonAg.

I have no idea why anyone on this thread is pissed at HoustonAg. He merely presented an opportunity and some research to back the opportunity. He presented what his game plan was and that is it. He's not your financial advisor, you're not paying him for his advice, he's not your souse or your mamma. If you listened to his advice (albeit late) and got bit for the time being, that's your own fault. If you did not due YOUR own due diligence and research prior to investing YOUR money, that is YOUR fault. I am absolutely f***ing tired of hearing people blame HoustonAg for anything. I for one appreciate the advice and research that HoustonAg has shared with us. He has spent his time and been generous enough to share his thoughts and opinions, which is exactly what a forum is, thoughts and opinions.

FYI, I do not personally know HoustonAg and I purchased 250,000 shares of BMIX at $0.0385 and 2,600 shares of ABML at $3.80. I am down right now, but you don't hear me bi***ing about it. That is the risk you take in the stock market, ESPECIALLY with OTC securities. If you can't accept the consequences of the risks you take in the stock market, put your money in a bond or money market and get your 2% per year.

Calm down. I said I would hold and will be very happy when this bounces back. The fact that it has remained steady at .035 or so shows that others feel the same. No one is going anywhere on this play. My only gripe is they haven't begun to mine and still need permits to do so. When they do, I see this stock having a big jump. It's just one to go long long long on. Further, I worry that the company itself isn't really trying to put themselves out there. Their website looks like something I could do with geocities. Their CEO hasn't given a major interview since 2019 and there are other options, though more costly, that are near time alternatives. I'm a big believer in new tech so I'm hopeful they move with alacrity as once a better battery comes along, lithium is a dead play.

Further signs that perhaps this will pay off is the rapid dip in LAC. The goal from Tesla and others is a cheap alternative to lithium deposits. So far the largest deposits are in Chile and Argentina, not Brazil; however, the other major areas of lithium are in Nevada, Australia and Zimbabwe. We can them surmise that the way to get cheap lithium is not through countries like Australia and America. The costs in these countries is obviously far too high compared to countries like Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Now the largest mine in Brazil is owned by sigma which is a Canadian company which has its own complications.

What I'm saying is, the best way to get the cheapest source of lithium is to bypass the middlemen altogether. Perhaps the play is for Tesla and others to acquire and mine themselves, attach themselves to BMIX and become sole purveyors of the crucial element. Did I mention I have no idea what I'm talking about?

Further, lithium is not a rare element, but will be in higher and higher demand as time ticks on. The question is, who can supply that need at the cheapest price.

Also, I'm not pissed. Never said I was so chill out ya weirdo. There are many lessons to be learned. I'm young and new at this but go ahead and have a heart attack for someone expressing their viewpoint in a calm and collected manner.

Wrong on so many levels. Especially the funding. We all know people like this guy. The "problem identifier" who never has a solution. The "paycheck collector" mad at all his coworkers getting a bonus.

It's obvious you haven't read the research and are here just to be negative. You're the kind of poster who would never research a stock and bring the board a stock pick that makes us money. But you sure will spend time finding minute details that don't matter in a hope that we fail. People can see through your jealous motives. And enough people have made enough money on these stocks that I bet they find them "dependable". Whatever that means.

What are your thoughts on BRLL? Same CEO as ABML with a secured site next to Tesla's gigaplant facility in Nevada. Seems to be in the recycling lithium business. Lots of chatter about this and huge news dropping over the weekend.

Nothing to add other than I'm watching them and Altair right now. I have small(<$1000) speculative plays in ABML, BMIX, EGOC, and OZSC at the moment. Placing small bets on a bunch of companies in the lithium/battery/EV infrastructure space seems to have a ton of upside with relatively little downside risk if you're playing with fun money.

Agreed on all those plays, but Was reading more about brll and Craig Alford who founded ABML was certainly not Doug Cole. ABML sued Craig for running a pump and dump. Further, they only have land rights currently and Craig was not very good with money. Doug made a point in his interview to talk about finally being debt free. Perhaps was a jab at Craig for taking on too much toxic debt.

I haven't researched it. But I mentioned several times lots of lithium plays will do well.

I feel ya. Maybe look at HCMC, GAXY, KWBT, and NNDM as well.

Thanks again for your recs. I'm sorry for appearing not appreciative.

There are some posters on Reddit Pennystocks that are fanatical about HCMC. What do you know/like about it?

Just that if they win their lawsuit against Philip Morris it will be big time, plus they have 40 patents to license out upon winning as well.

What you're seeing is lots of penny stocks getting pumped due to the feeling that retail investors somehow have hedge funds on the ropes.

In reality, hedge funds made the majority of returns on GME and are now actively studying ways to f over retail investors now that they are getting all their friends and family into every play Reddit publishes.

I'm glad that GME exposed the connection between the funds and the platforms, but this will not end well for retail investors who are flipping in an out of the next hot play every Monday.

As a thank you might I suggest you research OEG. Has potential.

I've been watching r/pennystocks for a while and it's fairly easy to detect the P&D scoundrels. There are a few posters that I follow that seem to be impartial investors and are there purely for knowledge sharing.

However, there's a dude "u/dr_pennystock" that has come out of absolutely nowhere with a ton of information about ASTI, some solar company outside of Denver. It was struggling for 10 years, but was recently bought by a German billionaire (Bernd Fortsch, through Crowdex) who invested his own money into this company. "Dr_Pennystock" says this is a must buy (aren't they all?!?!). It's a head scratcher . . . and of course this company apparently will partner in some fashion with Tesla . . . as it seems every company intends to.

I can't figure that one out. The guy has followed up his original post with additional info as people ask him questions and seems forthright regarding partnerships, patents, etc.

Apparently there has been enough interest to crash the website of the company.

What I don't like: 40+ billion shares?

What I do like: at 0.0008, yahoo finance target is $6

Have a hard time seeing it.

ABBRF

That $6 price target was mentioned a few times. I don't follow Yahoo finance enough to know if they have a history of whiffing on targets.

We're on to something!

Get a 1,000,000 shares for $800 and cash out at $6 with a cool $6,000,000. What's the problem?

Tempting isn't it?

Just imagine if you had a few thousand dollars to burn and you sprinkled a few hundred dollars in a few of these penny stocks....all you just need to get one...

Would it be stupid to put a limit order in on something like HCMC now to try and execute first thing in the morning or wait and see how this starts moving?

Just put one in. We'll see what happens.

Several platforms already glitching as Robinhood investors flee to their programs. Another wild week ahead.

Since there is no lithium exchange, you rely on China, Argentina, etc to provide pricing updates. Huge January for lithium.

They operate a vape store chain and a small time health food store chain based in Ft. Myers. Seems precarious at best but we are talking penny stock roulette.
