[Energy and Capital logo] The Chart Making Elon Musk Cry Every Night [Keith Kohl Photo] By [Keith Kohl]( Written Apr 13, 2022 What keeps a billionaire 274 times over awake at night? At first thought, it doesn’t seem like much would have tech magnates like Elon Musk burning the midnight oil while anxiety and dread sink in. Care to see it for yourself? Believe it or not, it’s one simple chart that's haunting Elon Musk. It’s a chart that immediately puts Tesla's head honcho into panic mode. You see, it’s not the first time he’s come face-to-face with a very real threat to his dream of putting an electric car in every garage in America. In fact, history is repeating itself all over again. And it’s going to be even more fruitful to individual investors the second time around. Before I show it to you, let's hop in a DeLorean and rewind the clock seven years. 2015 was pivotal for both Elon Musk and Tesla. That year, Tesla built its first Gigafactory in Storey County, Nevada. By January 2016, Gigafactory 1 went into operation, with six more being built since. As you now know, Gigafactory 1 was essential to churning out Model 3 electric motors and battery packs. Make no mistake: Musk’s $274 billion fortune today was built on this moment. Insiders make money when stocks are about to take off. And they take their profits just before a stock is about to fall. Everyday investors like you and me are stuck with whatever’s leftover. But what if it was possible to find out what they know — and beat them to the trade? What if you could have advance warning if insiders were pushing a stock up or down? Stock market guru, Alexander Boulden, has developed a proven system where triple-digit gains (or higher!) can be made every single month. His presentation is being wrapped up and will be made available very soon. If you’d like to see it before it hits the public, [click here to sign up for a preview]( of what Alexander's Insider Stakeout trading system is designed to do. But it wasn’t all fun and games for the billionaire. You see, lithium prices were rather subdued when Gigafactory 1 became a fully armed and operational battery station. And unfortunately for Musk, lithium prices soared over the next two years. That’s putting it lightly too. The cost of lithium carbonate — the key component in Tesla’s EVs — suddenly surged roughly 180% higher. Fortunately, that price spike was relatively short-lived. After all, the market had gotten ahead of itself over the short-term demand for lithium. Couple that with the fact that oil prices collapsed from a spat between OPEC and U.S. tight oil drillers, and lithium prices soon came back down to earth. But not for long… The Chart Haunting Elon Musk So you want to see the chart that can give one of the wealthiest humans on the planet nightmares? Take a look at lithium prices recently: [lithiumimage1] Like I said, history is repeating itself. Except this time, Musk knows he’s in a much different situation. Mystery Material Could End Our Microchip Crisis FOREVER See this flexible little square? This tiny piece of material could single-handedly solve our microchip crisis once and for all. Because this material is 1,000x more powerful than silicon... 1,000x more conductive than copper... and 200x stronger than steel. That’s why companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are sitting on the edge of their seats right now, just waiting for this next generation of microchips to arrive. And the best part? The tiny tech company behind it all is 12x smaller than Intel, with growth potential that’s off the charts. But I urge you to act now, because as soon as this product launches, those gains will be off the table. [Learn more about this mystery material here.]( Love him or hate him, Elon Musk understands his predicament all too well. Back in 2015, he knew there would be a lithium crunch. That’s why he inked a lithium supply deal with a JV between Bacanora Minerals and Rare Earth Minerals. Last year, Musk had to sit by powerlessly while the world’s largest metals producer, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium, scooped up Bacanora Minerals for a cool $391 million. Soon after that, Musk was forced to secure his lithium supply with Ganfeng. Well, it didn’t take a full 280-character tweet to announce that Tesla may have to get into the mining business. Between his dependence on Chinese lithium sources and the fact that Tesla’s domestic deal with Piedmont Lithium has been delayed until as late as July 2023, does Musk have any other choice? Well, it turns out he does. Although it’s going to take years to kick-start lithium projects in the United States, there’s already a company producing battery-grade lithium that can help solve Tesla’s crisis. And the best part is that these guys are doing it without operating a single mining project. Instead, they’re using a proprietary technology that is changing the lithium game in North America. [Let me show you exactly how they’re doing it here.]( Until next time, [Keith Kohl Signature] Keith Kohl [[follow basic]@KeithKohl1 on Twitter]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The REAL Reason Putin Is Invading Ukraine Most people aren’t aware of Vladimir Putin’s REAL motive behind invading Ukraine. See, deep below the war in Ukraine lies the key to a clean-energy future for all Eastern European nations. Researchers have speculated that Ukraine holds close to 500,000 tons of lithium oxide — one of the largest reserves of lithium in the world. And with global demand for lithium absolutely exploding, Putin wants nothing more than to get his hands on that reserve. But thanks to his invasion of Ukraine, that lithium reserve is FAR from being mined. Luckily, a small 65-person team of engineers just announced an even better opportunity… One that generates new supplies of high-quality lithium right here in America, on demand… Without having to deal with adversaries like China or Russia… And without having to pull it from beneath the ground of some war-torn country! In fact, it doesn’t have to be mined AT ALL, thanks to a revolutionary scientific process that can provide enough lithium to power a whopping 20,000 electric cars per year! That’s why the U.S. Department of Energy is throwing its full weight behind this small company’s “Infinite Lithium” breakthrough… And because this firm is trading for under $10, most folks aren’t aware that it even exists. So getting in on this today is the best chance that you have to make a fortune.
