Man....I've been able to dismiss the dip so far with market conditions, but everything in the market is up 3% premarket and SLI is down 3%. What the heck is going on?

Might be buying some this morning.

For what it’s worth, Oak said Mac just stiffened up so they decided to pull him.

I’m not sure I believe that but….maybe there’s hope.

Ugh…State just lost our Friday night first round draft pick.

Pulled before facing a batter in the 5th with only 60 pitches. Was shaking his elbow while throwing balls in the dirt during the warmup.

Fuuiuuccccckkkkk

Bragging on having the most homeruns is like bragging that you got 99 yards on a football drive but threw an interception at the 1 and the other team scored.


My drive carries 280! My handicap is a 22 but…I can hit the shite out of it!
State finishes off Tulane 11-7. Nice comeback win.

While true, those numbers are still pretty phenomenal this many games in. Damn offense never takes a night off. That'll play - glad we get y'all in Starkville.
That's the best way to do it, no worries at all. Always good to make sure you understand it, especially in investing in speculatives.

I'm no pro in the stock market, but I do have an advantage on this one in that I'm a Chem E, I've worked in the lithium industry, I've worked on purchasing contracts, and I've worked specifically on brine contracts in the Smackover (though not with Lithium)
I know this is great numbers and all but… I just can’t resist.

10 guys over 1.000

And it’s worth noting we also haven’t beaten anyone phenomenal.

Nope you pretty much got it!

The extra 20% will be leverage mostly.

Spot negotiation, demand surge, and slow time.

Could you explain the "Double that to get to the 80% target...."?


It was bar napkin math, but the total annual production for the southwest arkansas project is anticipated to be ~22,500 tons. The PR says they are aiming for offtake agreements to cover 80% of the 22,500 volume.

So the 8,000 TPA offtake agreement represents about half of that 80% goal (really it's 35% of the 22.5 kta, so it's actually 40% of the goal). So it's a little more than double to reach the offtake agreement goal, and almost triple to reach plant capacity. My numbers ended up being pretty conservative, but once you factor in Equinor's stake it's probably back closer to accurate.

Either way, we just announced a contract for $180,000,000 in annual sales and the stupid thing is up 3.5% on below average volume. Market is dumb.

Pricing terms of the Agreement are subject to confidentiality but are structured to support the anticipated financing for the Project.


Okay, so let's just venture to say pricing is around the DFS price of $22,400/t (which is oddly enough exactly what LiCO price is today). Obviously it'll be an equation and be flexible but just picking a set price, that's probably a safe spot.

The 8,000 ton/year offtake we just guaranteed is ~$180,000,000 annual revenue at that price, which just about already justifies our current MC. Double that to get to the 80% target, and we're looking at ~$9/share fair value on positive FID. I could get behind that.
First Offtake agreements is done.

Why are Georgia and A&M playing a conference series the week before everyone else does?


This game is weird as shite.

State up 6-5 with USM batting. They have 2 on with one out.

State gets back to back strike outs.

USM now up 7-6 with two on and one out.

That’s why baseball is great. That has probably never happened in the history of baseball.
