Chris Robb, Howard Klein and Matt Fernley debate whether lithium bears are missing the real story: demand growth, project financing, DLE delays, Chinese processing capacity, and whether lithium equities are actually cheap.

In this Rock Stock Recap, the discussion covers Rick Rule’s lithium skepticism, why “abundant resources” don’t automatically become supply, whether hard-rock lithium is threatened by Exxon, Chevron, Occidental and Berkshire-backed DLE, and why Matt sees lithium prices rising 30–50%. Chris pushes back on lithium stock valuations, Howard argues the market is undervaluing growth and margins, and the group also discusses Core Lithium, Standard Lithium, Lithium Argentina, Pilbara, Galan, Lithium Ionic, First Phosphate, sodium-ion batteries and energy storage.
