Well run company with strong history of dividend inceases, even during the past 3 years. This is a sleeper with a strong product line that postions it well for an economic recovery. Buy on dips.

Oilfield chemicals and lithium? What's not to love with that one-two punch? No matter where future energy policy goes, we're going to be seeing an onshore drilling boom, and we're going to be seeing a steadily increasing demand for heavy batteries.

Add to that Albemarle's solid financials and strong RoE, and I think this is a strong long-term play going forward. Even if market takes another hit, Albemarle could be a tempting takeover target.
