I could say likewise re: the MSFT I've held since the late 1990s and industrials like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Bechtel and Haliburton. But, despite their rising values, in some instances spectacular, I am not still having fun.

The cost of lithium carbonate is rising.

Lithium carbonate price in China rose to 495,500 yuan/tonne in September 2022, a YoY increase of 80% and equaling the record-high close of March 2022. Explanation: surging demand, dwindling supply.

Demand for electric vehicles is set to increase, especially in the USA, as the newly passed “Inflation Reduction Act” extends tax breaks for new electric vehicle purchases.

On the supply side, the energy crisis in China brought by record-setting heat waves led multiple lithium producers in Sichuan to suspend operations, adding to the upside of soaring lithium costs in the near-term. Scarcity led auto manufacturers with large bets on battery electric vehicles to compete for long-term supply contracts, including Ford and Stellantis.

But, yeah ain't nuthin' in markets -- Microthis / Applethat / Teslath'other. or any effin' INEDIBLE commodities that are immune from C-R-A-S-H. Fiat currency, thus share value of securites, ain' gonna matter cuz you cannot live on 'em. Food will become king. Food and... well, let's leave it @ food.

It's all "peaches 'n cream" my friend.
 
And:

"Eiffel Tower to go dark earlier to save energy"

Here in the US, we are paying more for energy but at least, for the moment, we have it.
