I last updated my #lithium stock short interest data in mid May. Guess what, short interest is up on average by 70% since then from a multi year low.
Lots of noise around inventory levels, EU reductions to hybrid import quotas, EU mulling changes to ICE sunset, GS forecasting a surplus in 27 & 28 and #lithium price back down to consensus 'incentive price'.
Back to regular short interest watch given these moves. DYOR.
o $SGML 8.7% (end Sept) vs 4.5% (mid May)
o $ALB 10.0% vs 9.1%
o $SQM 2.4% vs 1.1%
o $PLS 12.7% vs 6.7%
o $LAC 13.5% vs 10.4%
o $LAR 5.0% vs 4.3%
o $MIN 4.5% vs 4.7%
o $LTR 6.0% vs 1.5%
o $ELV 6.6% vs 1.7%

It’s strange how twenty‑five years can pass and yet some days remain untouched by time. 9/11 is one of those days. It still feels close — sharp at the edges, heavy in the middle. I lost a friend that morning. A client on paper, but a friend who mattered. The last thing anyone saw of him was him climbing back up the stairs of the South Tower, moving against the tide of fear to make sure others made it out. That image has lived with me ever since. A man choosing courage when the world was falling apart. A hero in the truest sense.
Whenever I find myself in New York — not nearly as often as I wish these days — I walk to the memorial. The South Tower pool, southeast corner. I place my hand on his name, the bronze cool even in summer, and I say a small prayer. It’s never elaborate. Just a moment of stillness, a whisper of gratitude, a hope that somehow it reaches him. It’s my ritual, my way of carrying him forward.
I wasn’t in Manhattan that day. I wasn’t even on the ground. I was somewhere over Saudi Arabia, suspended between continents, wandering to the galley in search of a drink. I heard the copilot telling a steward that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. We thought small plane and accident. Twenty minutes later it was clear. At 35,000ft there is nothing you can do. I swapped my water for a whisky, followed by another, and another, returned to my seat, and sat there in a kind of stunned quiet, the cabin humming around me while the world below was breaking.
When we landed in Abu Dhabi, I switched on my BlackBerry and it erupted with messages — a constellation of alerts, instructions, disbelief. The bank in London told me to stay on the aircraft and fly straight back. But the idea of boarding another plane, after hearing what had happened, felt impossible. So I stepped off. I went to my hotel, found the bar, and watched CNN for hours, trying to absorb the enormity of what I was seeing.
The next morning my boss threatened to fire me for disobeying orders and cancelled my return flight. Five days later, I finally made it home.
I will never forget that day. I will never forget the bravery that rose out of the smoke and chaos — the firefighters, the police, the strangers who became protectors in an instant. And I will never forget Joe.
Some memories don’t fade. They become part of the architecture of who we are.

#lithium stock short interest data is out for mid May (more timely from me as feet back under the desk).
Slight increase in SI across most names with the noticeable exception of $SGML where SI continued to collapse ahead of Q1 results - (interesting to see what the SI has done post the figs & continued FUD).
Strikes me as a tricky market for shorts - couple of small cap bids ($A11 #ALL and $ZINN) vs equity calls to fund capex ($ELV & $SLM).
Spending some time on solar high SI names $ENPH $SEDG $RUN etc....
o $ALB 9.1% vs 8.8% (mid may vs end Aprl)
o $ELV 5.4% vs 5.3%
o $LAC 10.4% vs 10.0%
o $LAR 4.3% vs 3.5%
o $LTR 2.3% vs 2.2%
o $MIN 5.8% vs 5.7%
o $PLS 6.8% vs 6.7%
o $SGML 4.5% vs 5.3%
o $SQM 1.1% vs 0.8%
#lithium stock short interest data for end of April is now available.
Will try and update the data for mid May in a more timely fashion over the next few days as likely some changes to note.
Noticeable decline at $SGML to 5.3% ahead of Q1 results & a chart break out and SI now at lowest level since April 2023
$LAC continues to creep higher & $ALB looking stubbornly high
o $ALB 8.8% vs 8.9% (end April vs mid March)
o $ELV 5.3% vs 5.6%
o $LAC 10.0% vs 9.3%
o $LAR 3.5% vs 3.9%
o $LTR 2.2% vs 2.9%
o $MIN 5.7% vs 6.1%
o $PLS 6.7% vs 6.8%
o $SGML 5.3% vs 9.2%
o $SQM 0.8% vs 1.0%
So $A11 #ALL @AtlanticLithium I've seen some sh1t deals in my time, but this one even surpasses the Arcadium/RIO sell out at the low point in the cycle.
Even assuming shareholders had to fund 100% of the capex with fresh equity, it is IMO impossible to justify a sell out at the proposed Huayou valuation.
#lithium short interest data now available for mid April.
Noticeable decreases at $LAR and $SGML, $PLS also lower vs $ALB slight increase.
The short squeeze in $CAR might have forced some de-risking in other high SI names and feels like some short term positioning moves.
IMO SI across the sector still well above a normalised level in a higher for longer #lithium price environment.
o $ALB 8.9% vs 8.5% (mid april vs end march)
o $ELV 5.6% vs 5.9%
o $LAC 9.3% vs 9.5%
o $LAR 3.9% vs 6.1%
o $LTR 2.9% vs 2.6%
o $MIN 6.1% vs 6.2%
o $PLS 6.8% vs 7.1%
o $SGML 9.2% vs 11.8%
o $SQM 1.0% vs 0.9%
