The Lithium Boom is Heating Up

Thanks to growing demand, lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June 2025 to January 2026. $ALB climbed as high as 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%.

But the real winner may be a stock not listed on public exchanges, EnergyX.

This $1B unicorn’s patented technology can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That’s earned investment from leaders like General Motors.

Now they’re preparing for commercial production just as experts project 5X demand growth by 2040. They’ve announced what could be one of the US’ largest lithium production facilities and have rights to approximately 150,000 lithium-rich acres across North and South America.

Unlike public stocks, you can buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40,000+ other investors. Invest for $11/share by the 2/26 deadline.

GE the weeks winner took everyone by surprise except for us
We love Ge, love, luvv, L💘VE GE
One thing we would of like to have seen with Fridays Gap up is a little more Volume
Either it makes a run for $350.00 here, or we could be seeing some profit taking back to the $330.00 area before it takes off again. Options are strong for MAR 20, 2026 at the 370 Strike and APR 17, 2026 at the 350 Strike

CAT Right place, wrong time, mistake went my way though
Friday I thought I placed a Bull Call Spread for MAR 20
Accidentally I clicked on this past Fridays EXP
In under 20 minutes, I had over a 70% gain
Too good to be true, closed it out took the money and ran
I re-entered for MAR 20, 2026 with Bull Call Spreads for protection from any downside moves and could be adding in the morning if it holds here

CASY it does what AMZN used to do / nothing in the Pre market
Except when it does, it does
Friday after the close it moved up, very unusual for off hours
CASY looks to be trying to take off here, I’m loaded up on it, and Monday could be adding more. If I add here it will be going out to MAY 2026. Yes I know the O.I. is lower there, but have faith my stock / options trading friends, it won’t be for long. Right now this one is a “sleeper” when it comes to the Options side, that is why we’re able to get such high yields when it moves our way.. Shhhh.. Don’t wake the Market Makers 🙃 

JPM Do we need to talk? This week a thing came out “Dimon sold stock, Jamie Dimon sold stock!” Yes, yes he did, BACK IN 2023!!!!!!! 🤦
He sold off 21 Million worth
What did he keep? 180 Million…..

GOOG The chart speaks for itself here, we may be re-entering in the next couple of days
Right now the Options on GOOG are “Fair Valued” and we’re seeing this as a point of fresh entries. For MAR 20, 2026 traders are piling into the 340 and 350 strikes both
Going out to APR 17, 2026 the 330 Strike is active. The I.V. ranking is favorable and the Deltas are generous as well. If your unfamiliar with Options and are interested in it solely as a stock, all of that I just mentioned is good, very very good

It’s cold here today, but they say that up in the North East those folks are supposed to be getting another serious winter blast… If that’s you, please be careful and check in on your people
