Yes definitely PB. And the more cases continue to fall from the current wave and vaccines increase, the more positivity will spread and the less likely another lockdown will become.
The markets will get more confident as the light at the end of the tunnel grows and as business activity increases. Look at that in tandem with the boom in commodities forecast by Goldman Sachs (which they have recently updated and doubled down on), the volume levels around a green energy transition globally and consider that we now have a base in the 20's to build from through that period.
I think it is more than fair to say that the progress Fortune has made since the end of 2018 has never really been credited by the market because of the falling vanadium price. It exaggerated every negative and diffused the impact of so much positive, and then we got sucker punched by Covid. You could also argue that much of what Bushveld achieved was at the end of a commodities cycle in an inflated market.
Things are finally beginning to look different now as we enter the beginning of a bullish commodities super-cycle and what will ultimately be a global economic reflation. We have macro trends on our side where we haven't before.
And really if people think green stocks are popular at the moment, just wait, because they haven't even started hitting the heights that lie ahead from the rebuilding to come.
