  • Why is the Lithium Whisperer screaming Buy? (YJ Lee)

    Is the lithium market heading for another surplus - or is a major supply shortage coming?

    YJ Lee, aka the Lithium Whisperer, joins Howard Klein and Matt Fernley on Rock Stock Recap to challenge Goldman Sachs’ bearish lithium price forecasts and explain why he believes the next lithium bull market could be approaching.

    We explore China's surging electric truck demand, the global battery energy storage (BESS) boom, falling lithium inventories, delayed mine supply, and whether sodium-ion batteries pose a real threat to lithium demand.

    With lithium stocks under pressure, is the recent sell-off a buying opportunity? And what are investors missing about the lithium supply-demand outlook for 2027–2030?
