At least the hand-over-fist selling of lithium stocks stopped for a day. Albemarle (ALB), the big and low-cost producer, did experience another 0.43% drop today, November 29. But that was still way better than the 6.3% plunge on Monday. And shares of Lithium Americas (LAC) and qm (SQM) managed gains of 1.38% and 0.98%, respectively. There’s no mystery to the drop. Lithium prices have continued to fall. As o Monday, Chinese prices for lithium carbonate have dropped 20% so far in November and 75% for 2023 to date.

It’s actually surprising that markets aren’t down more so far today. As of noon New York time, the Standard & Poor’s 500 is lower by 1.62% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 1.75%. The NASDAQ Composite has lost 1.65% and the NASDAQ 100 has dropped 1.34%. The small cap Russell 2000 has tumbled 2.43% and the iShares Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) has fallen 1.85%. No place to hide. (Well, maybe big drug company stocks.)

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. A representative sample is this entry from today: “10: 20 a.m.: Recode is out with the compilation of reviews on Samsung’s new flagship phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ due in stores on Friday, March 16. Consensus: It’s not an “If you’ve seen last year’s Galaxy S8, you’ve seen the $719.99 S9. The Bixby voice assistant is still a dud.” Samsung added a number of gimmicky features, Recode concludes, such as face-scanning, aperture-switching, Super Slow Motion and AR Emoji to show on TV commercials. The company did make a number of unseen changed to improve the user experience. My take is that this illustrates the big current problem with top end smart phones: Where’s the whiz-bang to get people to ditch their old phone and spend $700 to $1,000 on a new model?”

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. I launched this new feature on JubakAM.com on December 1. It runs only on JAM and won’t appear anywhere else. Such as these items: “10:20 a.m.: The ZEW survey for October showed economic sentiment iamong German investors climbing to 17.6 from 17.0 points in the previous month. The index, however, still remains below the long-term average of 23.8 points” and “10:40 a.m.: Japan’s Nikkei stock market index recorded its eleventh straight gain today. The market hasn’t had a losing session yet in October. In that period the Nikkei is up 4.8% on growing conviction that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is headed to a smashing election victory that will assure the continuation of Abe-nomics and a weak yen.”
