A Long Look at Lithium: Chile's SQM Poised for Growth
Sociedad Quimica y Minera (SQM), headquartered in Chile, looks poised for solid returns as global markets demand more lithium-ion battery energy and agricultural resources. SQM is a leading producer of key resources such as potassium nitrate, iodine and lithium carbonate. It also produces specialty plant nutrition products, iodine and lithium derivatives, and certain industrial chemicals, including industrial nitrates. SQM is well positioned as the world population adds 700 million new middle class people (examples, China 350 million and India 100 million respectively) by 2022.

Words from the (investment) wise 4.26.09

Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (April 20 – 26, 2009)

“Words from the Wise” this week comes to you in a shortened format as my traveling in the US precludes me from doing my customary commentary. However, a full dose of excerpts from interesting news items and quotes from market commentators is provided.

<>On Friday, Federal Reserve regulators have released a white paper outlining the criteria they used to assess the financial health of the nation’s 19 biggest banks. On the same day they also briefed the banks about how their companies had fared in t<><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><>< />< /><><>< /><><>< />< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< />...

Words from the (investment) wise 2.15.09

Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (February 9 – 15, 2009)

“Words from the Wise” this week comes to you from my abode in a visibly depressed Europe, from where I am compiling this report as welcome relief from gloomy conversations with taxi drivers and cheerless meals in deserted eateries.

<>Events during the past few days were dominated by the announcement of US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s financial stability plan and a deal reached by Congress on the economic stimulus bill. However, the much-anticipated bailout bang soon whimpered as inv...

Finally, the plan … sort of

I am spending the next few days in Europe on a short business trip. First stop is Dublin where the temperature is icy, the mood is dour, property prices are plunging, the queues for jobless claims are five hours long, the soon-to-be-unemployed are holding protest strikes, and the banks are on the edge of a financial precipice. Yes, it may be a movie with different actors, but the plot is the same as in many other countries.

<>Meanwhile in the US, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner yesterday disappointed the markets with the lack of detail on the administration’s Financial Stability Plan.
