đź’Ş $ARM'd and Dangerous

$ARM shares close up nearly 50%. Plus, does $SOL have a heart?

Happy Thursday Zingers! I can’t believe I missed a “once in a lifetime” trade opportunity by not buying into chip stocks like $NVDA, $AMD, or, now, $ARM.
Then again, I said the same thing about $BTC… and $TSLA… and $GME… Hey, come to think about it, maybe “once in a lifetime” is a bit of a misnomer.

Today’s Price Action:

$SPY: +.04%
$QQQ: +.19%
$DIA: +.18%

PRESENTED BY FOREMOST LITHIUM

As energy transitions away from fossil fuels, there presently lacks suitable alternatives for lithium, a crucial component in the production of batteries, and a key element of the advancement of clean energy technology. The demand for lithium-powered energy sources are expected to increasingly grow this decade as today’s governments attempt to meet clean energy goals. The current climate in the lithium market may seem uncertain, but energy transition is gaining global momentum.

Pricing volatility in today’s lithium market in part can be attributed to China, which dominates the lithium-ion battery industry, enjoying government subsidies and incentives. The Canadian Natural Resource Minister announced in February 2024, plans are underway to make massive investments to meet the growing demand of the clean tech revolution as well as reduce regulatory approval and review processes in half.

Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd (NASDAQ: FMST, CSE: FAT) is a hard-rock lithium exploration company located in Manitoba, Canada drilling for future lithium feedstock.
