Bayer, Memiontec, Deutsche Telekom - With blue chips through inflation

  • Technology

When inflation rates started to rise in the USA and Germany, all sides initially said this phenomenon was temporary. In the meantime, it has become clear that the experts were wrong. Inflation has come to stay and brings inflation rates we have not seen for decades. In November, it was 5.2% in Germany. Typically, it would be the ECB's job to control inflation, but its hands are tied because of the interest rate problem. That leaves investors with the question of how best to protect their money. One option is to look at blue chips, three of which we will examine in more detail today.

Standard Lithium, Manganese X Energy, Daimler Truck - The future of the battery

  • Electromobility

Electric cars would never have existed with the conventional lead-acid batteries popularly used in remote controls and the like. The development only became possible with the invention of lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged much more often and thus significantly increase battery life. The advantage of electric mobility is emission-free driving. The disadvantage is longer refueling times, shorter range and the need for lithium and other rare raw materials, such as manganese. It is precisely the batteries that make electromobility so expensive. It is not for nothing that Tesla is trying to push the price down to under USD 100 per kilowatt-hour. Experts expect that the prices of internal combustion and e-cars will then converge.

TeamViewer, Aspermont, ProSiebenSat.1 Media - Digital business models booming

  • Digitization

The Corona Crisis has shown that digital business models are booming, whereas conventional business models suffered from the lockdown. If you want to look at it positively, the crisis has led to a digitalization push and new business models. Restaurants suddenly switched to online ordering, seminars are held online, and virtual trade shows are also on the rise. On the stock market, too, some companies are increasingly focusing on digitized business models. Today we take a closer look at three of them.

Tesla, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - The battle for the battery of the future

  • Electromobility

Since climate change has become the focus of public attention, the goal of many countries is to reduce emissions. The transportation sector is the second-largest CO2 emitter; this includes motor vehicles. E-cars still cost significantly more than the conventional combustion engine because their batteries are still so expensive. Called out are costs under USD 100 per kilowatt-hour to bring the two vehicles together in price. Many different battery manufacturers are trying to improve the battery. Ideally, more energy can be stored, promising more range, the lifespan should be increased, and the batteries should become safer. Today, we look at three companies that have already made it a good bit of the way.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - The chip market remains hot

  • Technology

First and foremost, the automotive sector suffered from a lack of chips in 2021. Blaming everything on Corona alone is too short-sighted. The pandemic is certainly a factor, but the rapid economic recovery caught companies off guard. Added to this was digitization, partly also pandemic-related, which boosted demand for semiconductors more than the already high structural semiconductor demand. A few weather-related production stoppages and disrupted supply chains later, the situation was as it currently stands. Intel does not expect the situation to slowly calm down until 2023. Reason enough to take a look at three chip manufacturers.

Varta, Nevada Copper, JinkoSolar - Copper in desperate demand

  • Copper

The world is changing. Efforts are increasingly being made to protect the climate, and entire branches of industry are being converted as a result. The energy industry is increasingly relying on renewable energies, and the automotive industry has proclaimed the end of the combustion engine. The new technologies emerging, as a result, require a wide variety of raw materials, but above all, copper. Demand will increase faster than supply can be expanded. The result - rising copper prices. Not for nothing has this raw material been called the red gold. The coming years promise to be exciting on the copper market.

Kodiak Copper, Nordex, BYD - Are raw materials becoming scarce?

  • Copper

The Institute of the German Economy has presented a study on the raw material situation of the Bavarian economy. However, it can be assumed that the results will also apply to the rest of the world. As a result of the new technologies currently finding their way into the automotive industry, the demand for certain raw materials increases significantly. A total of 22 commodities are considered very risky. Copper is only ranked 23rd, but the study underlines the importance of the raw material for electrification in many areas of industry. If demand continues to grow strongly, there is a procurement risk for the German industry - a good reason to take a look at three companies that operate with copper.

Steinhoff, Alerio Gold, TUI - Cheap does not have to be cheap

  • Gold

Everyone is probably familiar with the situation where you have bought something cheaply and are annoyed afterward that you did not invest a little more money because repairs are constantly needed or similar difficulties arise. So cheap can become expensive in the long run. Shares below EUR 10 usually seem reasonable, but this conclusion can be deceptive. Even expensive stocks are not automatically better. Whether a security has potential can only be judged after reviewing the fundamental data, the news situation, and the industry analysis of a company. A chart analysis at the end often gives an interested investor an accurate picture of whether a stock is actually lucrative. Today, we take a close look at three inexpensive stocks in this regard.

Nikola, First Hydrogen, Plug Power - Will the transport industry rely on hydrogen?

  • Hydrogen

While the future of cars is most likely to be electric, the race in the transport industry has not yet been decided. There are electric buses, but they are more likely to be used in warmer climates. In winter, when heating is needed, electric buses are useless. The same applies to trucks and vans, as the high weight of the batteries means that some tractive power is lost here, and longer journeys also become impossible. The transport industry is responsible for a large proportion of CO2 emissions. If we want to achieve the climate targets we have set, we need a solution. Hydrogen could solve the problem, as the vehicles can be refueled much faster and the range is greater. But green hydrogen is still too expensive. Today we look at three companies working on hydrogen solutions.
