The U.S. government's latest $500 million investment in critical minerals wasn't directed at publicly traded companies — but public market investors shouldn't ignore it.

Lithium Americas Corp. (LAC) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

My case for Lithium Americas is inspired by the 1983 Tom Cruise film Risky Business, the need to sometimes say "what-the-heck" (last word edited for decorum). Actually, the basis for what-the-heck investing is similar to a classic Warren Buffett concept, knowing that a company's future success is inevitable. That's so for lithium. It wasn't always a big deal, even as batteries started to become popular. But lately, thanks to EVs and so many other things, demand is mushrooming.
