#5 - Lithium Americas (NYSE:LAC)
If the idea that bigger is better is part of your investment philosophy than Lithium Americas (NYSE:LAC) may not be the stock for you. However, if you’re willing to take a ride on the speculative side, this small Canadian miner may be just what you’re looking for.
As stated above, Lithium Americas is a small company (only about $720 million), but the company has an intriguing story that leads back to Tesla. One of the company’s two projects is in Nevada where Tesla has its Gigafactory.
Lithium Americas also has a project in Argentina’s “lithium triangle” and with Tesla becoming actively engaged in the lithium market, there are rumors that Tesla may look to acquire Lithium Americas and integrate it for its battery production plant.
And even that doesn’t happen; it’s likely that the company may become a significant supplier for Tesla. The stock is up nearly 50% since the beginning of the year, and has posted a gain of over 400% in the last 12 months.
