Elkem - A cyclical chemical company coming out of its trough

ELKEM is a stock I`ve owned before, in fact it is one of the first companies I bought shares in when I began "investing" (speculating) in 2018. Back then I sold almost at the bottom in 2020, at a bargain basement price of around 12NOK per share, a classic mistake.
