When President Trump announces interest in a stock, pay close attention.
On August 7, the Administration proposed the U.S. government buy a stake in Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), which set off a firestorm of buy interest in the tech giant.
At the time, INTC traded at around $20. By the time the Administration took a 10% stake, Intel was up to $25. All thanks to the Administration’s announced interest and 10% stake.
Now, we’re seeing a similar move in Lithium Americas (NYSE: LAC).
After just announcing it was interested in investment in LAC, the Administration doubled the LAC stock from about $3 to $6.11 in a day. This comes as Lithium Americas renegotiates the terms of a $2.2 billion loan from the Department of Energy for its Thacker Pass mine, which is expected to become one of the biggest sources of lithium in North America.
This miner may be one of the first to see potential interest from the Administration.
Right now, “The Trump administration is considering investing in companies that mine and process critical minerals in an effort to end U.S. dependence on imports from countries including China, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said this week,” as reported by CNBC.
To trade potential interest, we can always hunt for specific stocks, which we’re actively doing, and we gain just gain exposure to mining industries with exchange traded funds (ETFs), such as:
Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT)
With an expense ratio of 0.75%, the LIT ETF invests in the full lithium cycle, from mining and refining through battery production. Some of its top holdings include Albemarle, Tesla, Ganfeng Lithium, BYD Co., Lucid Group, and Mineral Resources to name a few of its 40 holdings.
It’s been just as explosive as Intel and LAC have been, running from about $38 to $55.04. Should we see more interest in lithium miners, LAC could push even higher.
Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (LITP)
With an expense ratio of 0.65%, the LITP ETF is a pure-play US listed ETF focused on lithium mining companies. Some of its 29 holdings include Ganfeng Lithium, Pilbara Minerals, Albemarle, Standard Lithium, and Sigma Lithium, to name just a few.
It’s also been explosive, running from a recent low of $6 to $8.95 a share.
VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF (REMX)
With an expense ratio of 0.58%, the REMX ETF attempts to replicate the performance of the MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index, which is intended to track the overall performance of companies involved in producing, refining, and recycling of rare earth and strategic metals and minerals.
Some of its 30 holdings include MP Materials, Lynas Rare Earths, Albemarle, Pilbara Minerals, and Ganfeng Lithium. The REMX ETF has also been explosive, running from about $45 to $65.

Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Oracle, Palantir, IBM…
They all need this little-known company's product.
And this company has a virtual monopoly in the U.S.
That means this company that's located in an American ghost town — with only 30 people — could be the key to the $100 trillion AI boom.
