unless your investing on hype or trend trading, its gonna be hard to see short term gains, but when you invest on real business and economic ideas, it takes time. you just gotta see it all the way through, if its a good idea, it will work, you just cant sell early because of a downward trend that may have nothing to do with the reasons you invested in the first place. lithium is a great idea, just gotta see it all the way through and avoid the hype scams. IMO
