One of the best ways to make money is by spotting wild, excessive fear.

In fact, it’s how some of the most well-known investors made their money. Lots of it.

Sir John Templeton taught us to buy excessive pessimism.  

Warren Buffett says that a “climate of fear is your friend when investing; a euphoric world is your enemy.” Even Baron Rothschild once told investors, “The time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” 

With the Russia-Ukraine situation spiraling out of control, some of the best stocks on the market can be bought on the cheap. 

All thanks to fearful investors that would rather sell than wait things out.

Look at lithium stock, Albemarle (ALB), for example.

For one, after gapping down from about $250 to $191.85, the stock appears to have caught strong support dating back to late July 2021. 

Two, we have to consider that lithium prices are only pushing higher, especially with the electric vehicle boom. 

Three, countries all over the world want a greener future, and millions of emission free electric vehicles on the roads. Unfortunately, there’s not enough supply to meet demand, which means lithium prices will push higher, which could lead to ALB pushing higher, too.

Even Deutsche Bank analyst David Begleiter says the pullback is overdone.

As noted by TheFly.com, “The analyst says lithium demand is growing 40% per year through 2025 and that the stock’s valuation is reasonable post the selloff. He views the pullback as overdone and recommends buying Albemarle.”

The best part – ALB is just one of dozens of opportunities we’re finding these days.
