Plug Power, Pathfinder Ventures, Varta - Which shares are a bargain?
On Friday, October 7, the nervousness of investors on the stock markets could be felt again. Large parts of the gains from the beginning of the week were given back. The fear of recession, rising interest rates, and inflation still prevail. For this reason, there are also well-performing companies whose shares are nevertheless dragged down by the overall market. In some cases, there are real exaggerations, and investors can find bargains at the moment. We look at three companies that have recently lost ground but have the potential for a rebound.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media, Aspermont, Alibaba - Growth stocks with significant rebound potential
On Friday, September 30, a key support level in the S&P 500 seemed to have fallen, but it was a false breakout, as could be seen the following Monday. A popular move by big players in the market who want to fish stops and then buy in cheaply. After the panic, the FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) phenomenon occurs. Investors who are stopped out realize their mistake and try to get back into the market as quickly as possible so as not to miss the rise. To do this, investors who have shorted the market close their positions, providing additional upside. Now it is a matter of finding the stocks that have been punished too much. We take a look at three growth stocks today.

JinkoSolar, TubeSolar, Encavis - Shares for the energy turnaround
The phase-out of fossil energy generation is a done deal in Germany, but there is still a long way to go. Germany's share of renewable energies in electricity generation was 42.4% in 2021. However, this covered only 19.7% of Germany's energy consumption. Since the flare-up of the Ukraine crisis, the expansion of renewable energies is to be accelerated. A balanced mix is essential. Spring and summer are the main times for solar power, while in fall and winter, when the days are shorter, wind power is the primary source of electricity. If we want to achieve the 2030 targets, a massive expansion is essential. Today we take a look at three renewable energy companies.

Kodiak Copper, Nordex, BYD - Copper price indicates recovery of the economy!
Copper is considered a leading indicator of the economy. The red metal is built into almost all electrical products and is needed in many industries. If we compare the spot price of copper with the futures, we can see that the premium per metric ton has increased significantly. This is matched by the fact that China imported 8.1% more copper through August, despite the country's Zero-COVID strategy. In contrast, Chile, one of the largest copper producers, exported less than last year. So supply remains tight, partly due to demand from Europe, which is significantly expanding renewables. So today, we look at three companies around copper.

BASF, Manuka Resources, Varta - Buy when the cannons thunder!
That is Warren Buffet's motto, and the Oracle of Omaha has done very well with it over the past decades. In the biggest crises, the investor always made a bold move, while others waited rigidly in fear. This could also be observed during the last Corona Crash. Many waited for lower prices, or at least a retest of the lows, which never came. At the moment, it seems to be the case again that no one wants to buy shares, and this is precisely where the opportunity lies. No one can predict the exact low, but if you want to be there, you have to get in at some point. We look at three companies that have great potential.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil stocks benefit from the colder season
There was a lot of news relevant to the oil price in September. Earlier in the month, Gazprom announced it would no longer send gas through Nord Stream 1 due to an oil leak. Shortly thereafter, the G7 countries decided on a price cap for Russian oil to take effect in December. OPEC announced on September 5 that it would cut production. The reason given was fear of an economic slowdown. The EU also decided on various measures to cope with the energy shortage, including a solidarity contribution by companies for fossil fuels to support socially vulnerable households. Even though the oil price has softened somewhat recently due to recession fears, the seasonalities show that the price will likely pick up again in December. Winter is creating additional demand for oil.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Eyes are on the FED
On Wednesday, September 21, the FED is expected to raise interest rates again. After the poor inflation rates in the past week, the fear of a large interest rate step of 100 basis points is going around. The indices reacted immediately and priced in the possible rate hike. So did the gold price, which has been suffering from rising interest rates and the strong dollar for weeks anyway. It does not help that gold has long been considered a hedge against inflation. The precious metal cannot currently take on this function, but that could change if the expectation of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire and former hedge fund manager, is correct that the stock markets will hardly yield any returns in the next 10 years. So today, we look at three gold companies.

TUI, Almonty Industries, Bayer - Rebound after the sell-off?
Since September 8, the DAX has gained over 700 points despite inflation, a halt in Russian gas supplies and fears of recession. Inflation was 7.9% in August. The ECB's interest rate hike seems to have reassured many investors. The question remains whether the indices will again move to new highs. The S&P has broken its downward trend channel on a daily basis. No uptrend has been formed yet, but as long as the last lows are not broken again, it will continue to go up according to the chart technique. We therefore take a look at three companies that were recently sold off strongly and see whether there could be a sustainable rebound.

Plug Power, Meta Materials, Palantir - Depot booster through growth stocks
The stock market environment for growth stocks has clouded over significantly. Rising inflation, growing interest rates and fears of a recession are causing uncertainty among investors. If, as many experts suspect, inflation is significantly curbed in 2023, the headwind for growth stocks should ease. The first investors are already speculating on this. They are taking advantage of the opportunity to add growth stocks to their portfolios, which will then take off again in the future. As an investor, it is important to ask yourself whether you are prepared to hold a stock for at least 10 years. After all, it often takes a long time to become a stock market star that generates high profits. Today we look at three companies that have what it takes to bring joy to their shareholders in the future.

Defense Metals, Thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall - New problems with critical raw materials
Many people are currently suffering from high energy costs, which are also affecting companies. Some of their products are becoming significantly more expensive as a result. Added to this is the smoldering trade conflict between the USA and China. Most recently, Nvidia was no longer allowed to export two of its chips to China. China and Russia are rich in raw materials and, in some cases, have a monopoly. There are already many critical metals whose demand can currently only be met by China. The most important of these are rare earths, over 90% of which are processed in China. The EU and the US are trying to become more independent but are encountering new problems. The critical metals industry urgently needs new skilled workers. In many companies, experienced engineers have long since reached retirement age. There is an acute need for action here.
