Weekly Watchlist - Jan.03, 2026
I look forward to what 2026 holds for the market and continue to see value in unloved commodity sectors.
I’m excited to see what 2026 brings. What was ignored or unloved in 2025 may look very different this year, and when searching for opportunity and value, it’s hard not to look in the direction of Energy. I remain bullish on Oil and Uranium and continue to steadily build positions in both sectors. The long-term supply/demand dynamics remain compelling, and patience here may be rewarded.
Lithium is also starting to show signs of life after what appears to have been a potential bottom. I built a significant position in the sector last year during the downturn, and I’m beginning to see the early rewards of that contrarian move as sentiment and price action improve.
Gold and Silver may continue to run, but I would approach them with caution at these levels. Both metals have already made impressive moves, and history reminds us that chasing strength late in the cycle can be risky. At times, it makes more sense to rotate into under appreciated opportunities rather than trying to pick a top in crowded trades.
Overall, I’m focused on sectors where pessimism has already done the damage and upside asymmetry remains attractive.
Here’s the watchlist for the week.
Century Lithium - Market Cap $62 Million Canadian
Century Lithium previously ran to ~$2.50 the last time lithium prices went parabolic, highlighting the leverage the stock has to the lithium cycle. This week, the stock broke out relative to the S&P 500 for the first time since July 2025, doing so on meaningful weekly volume — a notable technical development. It closed Friday up more than 28%, reinforcing the strength of the move.
These signals are aligning with a renewed uptick in lithium prices, suggesting the sector may be emerging from a cyclical trough. Century Lithium is a late-stage developer with a fully defined project, permitting progress, and a clear path toward production. Despite this, it continues to trade at a fraction of its estimated NPV, even under conservative pricing assumptions. When modeling only moderately higher lithium prices — well below prior cycle peaks — the valuation upside becomes compelling.
What makes Century particularly attractive is its asymmetric setup: limited downside relative to asset value, but substantial upside if lithium pricing momentum continues and the market begins to re-rate developers closer to production. These are the types of cycle-levered names that tend to outperform early in a commodity recovery, and with lithium fundamentals appearing to turn, Century Lithium looks well positioned for the next leg of the cycle.
Copaur Minerals - Market Cap $19 Million
I previously wrote about CopAur Minerals as an undervalued gold opportunity, and recent price action has begun to support that thesis. The chart is now approaching a potential breakout from multi-year resistance, a level that has capped price for an extended period. This week alone, CopAur advanced more than 50%, and trading volume has increased meaningfully, suggesting growing market interest.
Fundamentally, the company appears to be moving in the right direction as it advances toward future production at its flagship Kinsley Mountain Gold Project. Continued focus on development, combined with a strengthening gold price environment, positions CopAur well relative to many peers.
Historically, in the later stages of a gold cycle, capital often rotates into overlooked or lagging names, and these types of smaller, under-the-radar plays can re-rate quickly as investors search for remaining value within the sector.
