Reassuringly expensive?

At the latter stages of a bull market, enthusiasm can sometimes get the better of all of us. Investors always find ways to justify prices for companies at any stage in the cycle. To contrarians, the fact that the price of something has gone up tenfold doesn’t necessarily make it more attractive. However, momentum (as it is now called) is popularly touted as a sustainable investment strategy for the long term. Have the proponents of the ‘ever the greater fool’ theory had a re-brand?

QuotedData’s Real Estate Monthly Roundup – January 2023

Performance - 2022 ended with another difficult month for property companies as the sector continues to get to grips with the impact of higher interest rates.

Thacker Pass Update

The lithium industry, perhaps the hottest sub-sector of mining right now, was set even more abuzz by the announcement yesterday that Lithium Americas Corp has secured a $650m financing package from General Motors for the development and construction of the Thacker Pass mine in Nevada. There has been some talk for a while on when an automaker was going to make a serious investment in a battery metal mine. This is the largest ever and it is suitable that it is in Thacker Pass which is the largest
