SILVER CRASH - From USD 122 to USD 72! Time to sharpen your knives with TKMS, CSG, Silver Viper, and thyssenkrupp
The explosive rise in the price of silver, which rose almost in a straight line from around USD 35 to USD 122 by the end of last week, is now taking its speculative toll. The precious metal has soared by more than 300% within 14 months, accompanied by widespread rumors of huge short positions and extreme problems for the futures exchanges in terms of material supply. The fact remains that silver has been used for several years across various high-tech industries, from wind power and e-mobility to state-of-the-art defense technology. Manufacturers are also said to have been spotted on the market making large cover purchases due to impending physical shortages. Industry sources report a possible deficit of over 1 billion ounces in the March settlement – equivalent to around 125% of total annual production. In addition to the exciting silver explorer Silver Viper, we also analyze thyssenkrupp, its subsidiary TKMS, and the newcomer to the stock market, CSG. It is worth reading on.

Crash, correction, or buying opportunity? Silver at 74, gold at 4,700 - SAP and Microsoft down 20%, while Almonty and ASML advance
What a Friday it was! Oil prices started rising in the morning due to fears of a US invasion of Iran. But things turned out differently!

Trading floors saw exceptionally high volumes, and a new US Federal Reserve chairman was announced. The day before, ASML reached a new all-time high, while SAP and Microsoft continued their downward trend. Almonty Industries shot up to record levels and was only slowed down by the negative sentiment. How is all this connected? Read on to find out.

War on the horizon, cold winter, and unresolved energy issues! CHAR Technologies has the answers
Despite all the geopolitical uncertainties, the capital markets are experiencing the largest and most powerful commodity rally of all time. This is driving up input costs for industry, further fueling already stubborn inflation. The fact that tariffs, wage increases, and high resource prices are affecting store shelves also implies significantly higher interest rates in the near future. Investors should consider alternatives and, especially for highly valued stocks, set tight stop-loss limits. However, with regard to unresolved energy issues, there are innovative solutions that can even be purchased on the stock market. Cleantech specialist CHAR Technologies has an interesting business model that makes sense in all weather conditions. A closer look reveals good medium-term prospects.

Is antimony the new tungsten? Why Antimony Resources could become a similar story to Almonty Industries
Out of the niche and into the spotlight! Antimony was considered a forgotten metal for decades until geopolitical upheavals shifted the focus to critical metals. Today, it is at the center of a geopolitical and economic realignment because it is indispensable for numerous high-tech and defense applications. China, a long-time dominant supplier, has drastically restricted its exports, leading to noticeable supply bottlenecks in many industries, from battery production to military equipment, and driving prices to historic levels. These restrictions have destabilized strategic supply chains and prompted Western governments, such as the US, to take massive security measures. Analysts and the media emphasize that this shortage is not just a temporary market phenomenon, but an industrial policy issue that affects production, prices, and investment worldwide. Canadian explorer Antimony Resources is just beginning to tell its story, which in its early stages shows many parallels to Almonty Industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

Iran conflict and oil prices at USD 100? Caution advised for Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
The stock markets are in absolute stress mode! The US dollar has been depreciating for days, silver, gold, and copper are skyrocketing, and yesterday oil also started to rise. The threatening gestures from Washington are slowly making it clear that the number of geopolitical conflicts could even expand to include Iran in the short term. The Pentagon has sent an armada of ships to the Persian Gulf. Just another Donald show? Maybe, but maybe not! On platform X, he makes it unmistakably clear that an intervention in Iran's sovereignty could be imminent at any time. This means absolute "panic mode" for the commodity markets, as Iran produces over 4 million barrels of oil per day, and Western industries fear for their supply chains. We take a look at a few scenarios that are related to this situation in extended mode.

The witch dance continues! Another 100% with TKMS, DroneShield, Pasinex, or the new CSG?
The stock markets are extremely volatile, so it is time to take a closer look at some of the key players. Many investors are now focusing on a scenario of ongoing war. Hardly anyone expects real peace to be achieved, as a recent survey shows: 72% of those surveyed do not expect any of the existing trouble spots to enter a state of peace in 2026. This means that public skepticism is higher than the current "super summit talks" between the superpowers around the globe would suggest. In addition to defense stocks, commodity stocks also remain in a state of constant battle. Scarce metals appear to be becoming even scarcer, judging by the spot price. Anyone looking at the precarious situation in Europe should take a closer look at Pasinex Resources' zinc project. Here are a few tips on how to generate a 100% return.

Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena
After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.

Stock markets under pressure! High momentum expected for Siemens Energy, Pure One Corp., and E.ON
After months of back and forth, there was a shift in investors' sector choices at the start of 2026. The popular tech stocks that were the top performers in 2025 have largely been sidelined, while the commodities, energy, and defense sectors are experiencing a significant rally. The World Economic Forum in Davos did not bring any major news for the economy. What is becoming clear is that the US is continuing on its harsh course, and the rest of the world must prepare for a scenario of ongoing shortages and fragile supply chains. There is also a noticeable return to fossil fuels, which are needed on a large scale, especially during long, cold winters when the sun and wind are not available. For individual companies, this is a license to print money. For investors, however, the choice remains agonizing.

Stress test: Nuclear power instead of hydrogen? Caution advised with Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Oklo, and Plug Power
"Drill, baby, drill" – that is the loud cry coming from the White House. For the Trump administration, that means quick approvals and a capital-intensive push for fossil fuels. However, it currently seems unclear what will happen with alternative energies. Some of the funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by the previous administration under Joe Biden have not been paid out, and hoped-for public contracts in line with the Paris Climate Agreement are now obsolete due to the absence of the US. However, the shift away from alternative energies has not been communicated very clearly. After all, there is a large following for ESG-compliant energy models, with nuclear energy in particular becoming socially acceptable again as a net-zero source. Where should investors prick up their ears?

Trump 3.0 and gold at USD 5,000! Critical metals continue to skyrocket with Almonty, Rheinmetall, DroneShield, and CSG
US President Donald Trump appeared on the international stage in Davos and triggered mixed reactions. With his well-known "America First" slogan, the most powerful man in the world once again made clear which priorities dominate from a US perspective. For the international community, this reinforces concerns about transatlantic reliability and the growing realization that, in a crisis, countries may increasingly have to rely on their own capabilities when dealing with dictatorships and autocratic systems. This development exemplifies the geopolitical turning point already described by Klaus Schwab in Davos in 2020 as "The Great Reset." Geopolitical uncertainty is giving rise to constraints and unsettled investors. They are increasingly turning to true values, which are believed to lie in the commodities sector. Against this backdrop, critical metals, gold, and silver remain firmly in focus – a trend that has been gaining momentum for weeks. Here are a few tips for risk-conscious investors.
