    Crisis will lead to opportunity for lithium stocks. For one, the blood is flowing in the streets with many of the top lithium names. Two, some analysts now believe lithium prices may have bottomed out.

Despite lithium carbonate prices having risen more than 11% on a year-to-date perspective — likely due to a strengthening market in China — lithium carbonate prices have fallen more than 53% over the past twelve months. Other precious metals like silver and zinc have also had lackluster performance until very recently. This all means mining stocks have been some of the most shorted for
