The lithium game is heating up 🔋 As EV demand surges, the battle for lithium supremacy is reshaping global supply chains. Australia still leads with 88,000 MT (though production dipped 4% YoY), but Chile's climbing fast at 49,000 MT. China's in third with 41,000 MT and hungry for more—just discovered a potential 30 million MT reserve.
Here's what's wild: Zimbabwe exploded from 6th to 4th place, jumping 47% YoY to 22,000 MT. Meanwhile, Argentina's production more than doubled in 2024 to 18,000 MT, and analysts reckon it could grow 10x by 2027.

Mark Cuban's advice to fresh graduates about AI employment has gone viral. The investor stated bluntly: if you don't learn AI now, you'll have to queue for jobs in the future.

**Second, they're diversifying.** Even after the sell-off, BRK is still 25% of their portfolio. The timing? Dead at all-time highs, trading at 1.

# Nickel's Q3 Puzzle: Stuck in Limbo While Indonesia Floods the Market
Nickel in Q3 2025 was basically treading water—prices bounced between $15,000 and $15,500, hitting a quarterly high of $15,575 (July 23) and low of $14,950 (July 31). Sounds stable?
