But if they eliminate it, they destroy the source material of the cobalt that is needed to produce the batteries for their messianic electric cars (as in, What would Jesus Drive?)...


I'm not sure they think along those lines (i.e., looking at the big picture), but then again you may be right as they seemed to have no problem pushing solar, which besides the battery component creates a whole nother hazmat situation in the production of the cells. NIMBY.

Speaking of the physical price going up, anybody know where you can actual buy it in largish quantities? I've tried looking but haven't really come up with anything.

There's no way to really predict how the earth huggers think.

Most of the time I think they want humans to go back to living in caves and other holes in the ground, but that would be humans raping the reverend earth mother, so that's right out....

You mean buy it and hold it physically, as you can gold and silver?

No clue. That's why the entire secondary futures market exists, though, so you can trade it without having to find a place to store it.

Yes. Although not really as an investment. I've always thought it would be neat to get a bit of each element and stamp coins out of them with the face having their information like symbol, atomic number, etc. stamped on them.

Ok, you had me wondering there, because as I note below, Cobalt really doesn't pull much value in per pound, so you'd need to store quite a bit of it.

So I tossed some play money at US Cobalt.   Bought 100 shares at 0.5328....   we'll see if I regret it or not...   :)
How'd you get it that cheap.  It was hovering around $.06 until 23 Jan (I wonder what happen shortly before that day??) And its been between $.35 and $1.13 since, with it hovering around 70 cents per share since coming down from it's 2 May high.

I may buy a 100 or a thousand shares once I do more research on the company.

It was around that price back on Wednesday.

edit - And that would be the SCTFF, not USCO.

Yup.   Set a limit order for .535, got it at .5328.  And as far as I can tell, SCTFF is the symbol for US Cobalt.  With the fees Ameritrade charges, I need it to go up 13.9 cents per share to start making money.  We'll see what it does.

I bought 900 shares of SCTFF (about $500) simply because at $500, my broker fees were $8.95 with USAA. If I only bought $100, my fee would have been $27.95.  Yeah, pennywise and pound foolish perhaps...we'll see.

Also bought some more Diamond Offshore since it's cheap, cheap, cheap...

I've still got about $1000 in my cash account.  I need to find a place to park it.

SCTFF is down to $0.4399.  But it's only a been a couple months.  I think it is rebounds a bit, I might sell some/all.  Maybe keep 100 shares as a very long term long shot.   We'll see.  First it has to come up from where it's at.

I've got an alert set for 0.75, which is when I'll watch to see if it breaks out. Otherwise, I've already forgotten about the little money I put into it.

It was odd, I was looking over things, and everything has a green UP arrow and high single digit or in many cases double digit percentages next to them.  (Thank you President Trump)....

Except SCTFF.  Big red arrow DOWN.  Which I thought would take off as a many other mining stocks have.

A rising market segment won't always be reflected by gains for all its members, especially if that member has marginal to poor fundamentals.

Interesting story on child labor in Congo cobalt mines and Musk claiming he will only purchase North American cobalt (which by the numbers seems unlikely).

Looks like it jumped up a bit recently, I wonder why. I'm still down, but working my way up to positive it looks like. Bought in not at it's peak, but close. Bought a little bit more later on when it was less than what it is now in order to average it down some.
