Is it still good to invest in metals?

$Albemarle(ALB.US)$ With lithium I’m planning to focus on having Albemarle (ALB). They are one of the largest providers of lithium for batteries that power electric vehicles. They have solid earnings, even though the market seems still pretty volatile.

$Southern Copper(SCCO.US)$ Copper is also currently really volatile too, so I’m only thinking of placing some in Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO). I chose a company that pays a dividend, and in their case they pay a dividend of $2.70 per share. I feel like they are a safe choice to invest in. Also thinking of FCX or FTCO.

$SOLARIS RESOURCES INC(SLSSF.US)$ When it comes to explorations (I know they’re risky but there’s some potential) I lean more towards Solaris Resources (SLSSF). They’re already drilling and there’s some strong profit potential if they continue to show good results. They recently started their maiden drilling at the Warintza South target, targeting the 4th major copper discovery.

This is not a lot since I’m a little cautious about going all out because of the current situation. I just want to diversify my portfolio and these are the ones I’m thinking of putting my money on.
