Great Atlantic Stats:
Bottom Line
There are many, as this is a deep and enduring story. And unlike other commodities, Salt production and growth is easily trackable through a dearth of mines.
There is little doubt that Salt will continue to grow and be used for various chemical, industrial and consumable needs.
One of the more–dare I say exciting ideas –is a plan by a group of scientists who have suggested that, because Salt is highly reflective, it could potentially reflect sunlight into outer space, helping to cool the Earth, they wrote in a report presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas on March 21.
But other climate scientists aren’t so sure. This idea falls into geoengineering — a deliberate, large-scale attempt to change the environment to counteract climate change—[Top 10 Craziest Environmental Ideas].
Creative solutions are needed for many of the Earth’s issues. Maybe not that far-fetched. Salt shares are robust traders with a daily average of 370k. Volatile as well as the 52-week range was CDN$0.71 to CDN$4.48. Looks like a proxy for several sectors and a catalyst for expansion in the industrial and chemical areas.
Given the volatility, a dollar cost average approach might be prudent.
Lots more to come.
