Daimler Truck, First Hydrogen, Plug Power - Transportation industry in upheaval: Which shares will profit?
In the EU, a quarter of all CO2 emissions are caused by road traffic. Here, the transport industry, with its diesel engines, plays a major role. If the ambitious climate targets are to be achieved by 2030, the industry will have to undergo a major transformation. Road freight transport alone is expected to reduce emissions by 26% by the end of the decade. For a long time, electromobility was seen as the solution, but it is becoming increasingly clear that hydrogen will also be an option. It always depends on the use case, and at the same time, the infrastructure must be in place for the technology in question. So today, we look at three companies that could benefit from fleet modernization.

K+S, Barsele Minerals, Barrick Gold - Are the good times coming after the bad?
While the gold price is under pressure from the strong US dollar and rising interest rates, European fertilizer producers are struggling with high gas prices, representing almost 90% of variable costs in production. However, the first positive trends can be observed in both markets. In gold, the critical support level of USD 1620 has held, and there, the market bounced dynamically upwards. Fertilizer prices rose in September in almost all segments. Reason enough to take a closer look at two gold companies and the German fertilizer producer K+S.

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen market booming
In January 2021, the first hydrogen hype came to an end. Subsequently, many shares in the sector lost more than 80% in value. However, since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the sector has again come into focus. The reason is the energy shortage, especially in Europe. Green hydrogen promises to store energy and consume it when needed. But since the US climate and tax package has provided hundreds of billions of dollars for zero-emission technologies, this market is also seen as promising. So politically, there is a tailwind for the industry. We, therefore, take a look at three companies with hydrogen technologies.

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Electromobility with rapid growth ahead
The IEA (International Energy Agency) has recently issued forecasts for the growth of electromobility up to 2030. While only about 10% of all vehicles were electric in 2021, this figure is expected to rise to at least 60% by 2030. That would significantly reduce emissions, but the energy transition requires raw materials from copper to cobalt to lithium, which is essential for the production of batteries for e-cars. S&P Global has calculated that even if all existing lithium projects were to go into production, there would still be a supply deficit of 220,000 to 2 million tons in 2030. Reason enough to take a closer look at three companies based on the sector.

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.
