Ok, now I'm 100% certain that the price of lithium is going to skyrocket. There isn't that much of the stuff pulled out of the ground every year, and most of it goes to small battery applications - not cars like the Tesla. Toyota's electric cars have purposefully stayed away from lithium because they knew that there was not enough lithium for Toyota sized production.

Unfortunately lithium is not traded on any futures market that I know of, and I know of no publicly traded stock on any exchange that solely represents lithium mining interests.

Does anyone know how I can buy bulk ($25k+) lithium? I'd prefer not to buy it from a science supply store. I'm getting a quote from http://www.baotou-rareearth.com/ right now, but ideally there would be an ETF that tracks the price for me.

Symbols SQM and POT from the article are relevant if you want to invest in Lithium.
