Chilean company owns world's largest lithium mine - lithium batteries extend operation of laptop computers - almost criminal not to buy - back up the truck - best stock in Chile, maybe the hemisphere
stock is up since recommendation but stay in - add new positions - there is now a battle for control of the co between Potash (a Canadian co) & a large shareholder - lithium battery business still strong - by 2008 co should have 50% market share of lithium - is largest producer of iodine used in LCD TV's - 54% of sales comes from specialty plant nutrition - is world's cheapest producer of fertilizer ("en fuego" in China) - with Potash could set up a duopoly in fertilizer - could control world price - believe that stock is undervalued by 30%! - worth 170 - bidding war is escalating through stock tender offers - if taken over premium will be alot higher (thinks it will) - use limit orders only
