Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, First Majestic Silver - Is it worth buying precious metals shares now?
Recently, the prices of precious metals went under the wheels, bringing back memories of the financial crash in 2008. Back then, the stock markets were also in a bear market and precious metals were considered a safe haven. But both gold and silver were sold off at that time. Subsequently, both precious metals rallied by almost 200% in gold and 500% in silver. The question is whether we have already found the bottom? The dollar's strength increases the price of commodities because the ounce is traded in USD. Add to that weak demand from China due to the zero-covid policy and rising interest rates. Today we look at three companies that own precious metals.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Amazon - Electric vehicles on the brink of extinction?
Alongside industry leader Tesla, Chinese carmakers, in particular, have been early adopters of e-cars. Since the end of the internal combustion engine was decided, there has been a battle for the one emission-free drive. For a long time, electromobility seemed to be winning the race, but charging times are still too long and ranges are limited. These are important factors, especially in the logistics sector. Now the first series production of hydrogen cars is starting in China. Changan Automobile, founded in 1862, claims a range of 700km for its hydrogen cars with a refueling time of a few seconds. Is this the beginning of the end for electric vehicles?

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Daimler Truck - Hydrogen market gets hot again
A glance at the federal report on energy research 2022 is enough to tell you that the federal government is funding research and development into hydrogen. The term hydrogen appears 116 times in the document, far ahead of wind power or solar energy. RWE has recently announced that it is investing a lot of money into hydrogen production. Siemens Energy wants to produce electrolyzers together with Air Liquide. The French are also working with ThyssenKrupp to develop hydrogen-based steel production. The EU is promoting the hydrogen sector, so it is no wonder that more and more collaborations are being formed between corporations. Today we look at three companies active in the hydrogen sector.

Defense Metals, Nordex, Rheinmetall - The world does not work without rare earths
Even if many people do not know much about the term rare earths, every one of us uses them. Without rare earths, there would be no smartphones, no wind turbines, no solar energy, cars and other high-tech devices. China has a virtual monopoly on rare earths. We first saw what would happen if China stopped supplying rare earths in 2010 when Japan stopped receiving supplies for a month. Prices for products containing rare earths shot up by a factor of 10. For this reason, the raw material also appears on the list of strategic metals in the USA and Europe. The EU plans to present the Raw Materials Act this fall to reduce dependence on China for critical raw materials.

Commerzbank, Triumph Gold, Bitcoin Group - Inflation alert! Which stocks bring returns in this market environment?
We have not seen such high inflation for decades. Looking back, it becomes clear that one cannot compare the situation back then with today. Back then, interest rates were at 12%, and as a saver, you could generate an increase in value for your money despite inflation. Today, interest rates are much lower than inflation. Putting money in a savings account will not bring any investor a profit. If you want to protect your money, the first thing that comes to mind is gold because it is considered crisis-proof. But nowadays, it almost seems as if cryptocurrencies could outperform gold. Alternatively, one can bet on stocks that cover these areas. We take a closer look at three companies.

TUI, Barsele Minerals, Steinhoff - Which share will manage the turnaround?
Times are currently difficult on the stock market, as there is a lot of uncertainty. On the one hand, there is the question of how long the Ukraine conflict will last, and on the other hand, there is high inflation, which the central banks are trying to combat with rising interest rates. But higher interest rates mean less investment, so the fear of recession is palpable. The still ongoing supply chain problems are also causing headaches for investors. Today, we take a look at three companies that have recently fallen foul of the market and analyze which of the candidates can turn things around.

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Full focus on the battery of the future for e-cars
The farewell to the combustion engine is a done deal. In the future, passenger cars will be powered electrically. The battery is crucial for success. Elon Musk said years ago, "The battery is our biggest bottleneck." It is still true today, as the batteries limit range and charging times remain high. Whoever succeeds in producing a better battery with less weight, longer durability, and faster charging can clearly set themselves apart from the competition. Today, we take a look at three companies that are tackling the development of the e-car battery of the future.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Biotech stocks with a lot of future potential
A look at the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index shows that the big hype on biotech companies seems to be over for now. Since September 2021, the index has been falling, repeatedly marking new lows. However, this decline can also be seen as an opportunity because the long-term prospects for the industry are good. People are getting older, and with age comes the diseases that want to be fought. Today we look at three companies with a lot of potential for the future.
