Desert Gold, Endeavour Mining, Newmont - Gold is rallying as expected
I pointed out the double bottom in gold in one of my earlier articles, and since then, the price has risen over USD 200. Interestingly, the buy-side consists mainly of young investors up to 25 years old. According to research from several online brokers, they own 39% of gold - 3 years ago, it was only 26%. This percentage is three times higher than in the overall population. Inflows into physically deposited gold ETFs amounted to nearly 34 tons. Driven by inflation fears and political tensions, gold is enjoying a renewed revival. We take a look at three gold stocks today.

Aspermont, Commerzbank, SGL Carbon - Potential after renewal
Sometimes it is a gradual process, but sometimes it is a sudden event like the Corona pandemic. A company gets into trouble and the management has to develop strategies that will nevertheless lead the business into the future. But increasing efficiency and making quick decisions alone will not help. Ideally, business models should be checked for resilience early enough and not just when the tree is on fire. A realignment also always offers an opportunity. Today, we have taken a look at three stocks that are still in a state of upheaval but offer definite potential for your portfolio.

Steinhoff, Osino Resources, Barrick Gold - From gambler stocks to gold pearls
What is the best way to invest your money? Opinions are divided on this question. Some want to make a quick profit and are prepared to accept significant losses to do so. But this path is psychologically complex for most people to cope with. Then there are the growth-oriented ones, who are willing to take calculable risks and make bigger profits. The last group invests conservatively and wants to build up a passive income over the long term through dividends. They shy away from risk. In line with this categorization, we have picked out 3 stocks today, taking into account the title of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Has the commodity super cycle begun?

First Majestic Silver, NewPeak Metals, K+S - Soaring commodity prices
Commodity prices continue to soar. If we compare the first quarter of 2021 with 2020, we can assume an average price increase of 36.7%. As the raw materials market is currently unable to respond quickly enough to the high demand in many countries, prices are rising. An end to this spiral is currently not foreseeable, as more and more countries are slowly getting to grips with the Corona pandemic. Thus the demand for raw materials will continue to grow. We have picked out three exciting companies from the commodities sector today.

Baidu, The Place Holdings, Tencent - China's economy is booming
China has achieved what many people long for, a return to normality. Despite the pandemic, the Chinese economy grew 2.3% in 2020, and 8.4% is forecast for this year. The tourism industry could report growth for the first time compared to 2019 due to the increase in domestic travel. In e-commerce, 63% more goods were sold abroad. Despite this, many tech stocks are trading at shallow levels. Today, we look at three stocks from the Middle Kingdom.

Deutsche Bank, Mineworx Technologies, Deutsche Telekom - ESG stocks have enormous potential
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. The Environmental area covers environmental pollution or hazards, such as CO2 emissions and energy efficiency issues. In the Social space, health care, occupational safety and social commitment are assessed. Under leadership, one looks at sustainability, corporate values and their control processes. The trend towards ESG shares has increased significantly in recent years. Especially for the younger generation, sustainability is fundamental. We take a look at three companies that are addressing sustainability.

BYD, Nevada Copper, AT&T - Nothing works without copper
More and more people worldwide have access to electricity. The electrification of the world is progressing and this requires copper - the non-precious metal that conducts electricity best. Copper was one of the most widely used industrial metals even before the advent of renewable energies and e-mobility. It is found in consumer goods such as air conditioners, telephones and everything around power grids. Increased sales of e-cars are also increasing demand for the "red gold" here, as more copper is needed for these than in conventional passenger cars. Added to this is the charging infrastructure for e-cars, which still has to be built nationwide. Demand will certainly not decrease, but since the supply is not growing at the same time, rising prices are the result.

Nikola, dynaCERT, Ballard Power - Hydrogen market facing a turnaround?
Until mid-January, the shares of hydrogen companies knew only one direction, and that was steeply upwards. With just one or two negative news pieces, such as the balance sheet adjustments at Plug Power, and the prices went into a downward spiral. The environment could hardly be better. The US and Europe want to invest more in the hydrogen sector to achieve their ambitious climate targets. There are many applications for hydrogen, such as making energy storable and transportable and using fuel cells for propulsion. Today we take a look at three stocks in this sector.

Jinkosolar, Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp - Commodity and energy prices still rising
Last week, a 4.2% inflation rate for consumer products was reported in the USA, which caused a correction in the markets. Construction prices rose by up to 70% in some cases. The Federal Statistical Office in Germany currently assumes inflation of 2%. However, there is already a partial shortage of chips for the automotive industry, wood is being imported expensively from Ukraine, and there is also a shortage of supplier parts in other sectors. One should strongly assume that inflation will be higher. Energy prices also rose by a good 27% last year. The long cold winter will cause prices to increase further there as well. To protect against inflation, investors should focus on quality stocks of companies that manufacture products and benefit from such bull markets in the long term. We present three attractive candidates today.
