ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Defense stocks as portfolio boosters?
The Ukraine crisis has been with us for over three months now. While many stocks went downhill at the beginning of the war, the situation was quite different for defense stocks. Here the quotations increased sometimes significantly. Of course, every investor has to clarify the moral question for himself. But if you want to invest your money in defense stocks, a few points speak in favor of an investment. On the one hand, there is the trend toward more defense spending, which has continued year after year since 2014. Second, confidence in Russia has been permanently shaken, and it will take years, if not decades, to repair the damage. We look at three companies that manufacture products for the defense industry.

Nvidia, Aspermont, Alibaba - Shares with doubling potential
Surely no one would object to doubling their investment. But after the stock market has been in rally mode since 2016, few stocks would have been expected to double in 2022. Meanwhile, some stocks have started to slide due to the Ukraine crisis, supply chain problems, and rising interest rates. Discounts of up to 50% can be observed even in large stocks. Today we go bargain hunting and analyze the potential of three different companies.

Nordex, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar - Energy shares with potential
The hunger for energy is increasing worldwide. The Ukraine crisis has further fueled this situation. Germany in particular is under pressure in this respect after the nuclear phase-out. Renewable energies are supposed to solve the problems, but they are not yet ready. A gas embargo would have dire economic consequences for Germany and is currently not possible. Here, too, we can see that the end of fossil fuels is still some way in the future. China and India are reportedly buying cheap oil from Russia at the moment. That is currently not depressing the oil price, as demand is too great. Today we look at a company from each sector: wind power, oil, and solar energy.

BASF, MAS Gold, Plug Power - Shares with great turnaround potential
The Fear & Greed Index is down to 11, which means nothing other than extreme fear. And there are many areas causing headaches for investors. There is the Ukraine crisis, inflation, rising interest rates in the US, supply chain problems due to zero-COVID policies in China, and fear of recession. However, the S&P has formed a double bottom last week, which raises hope for a turnaround in the markets. Due to the crises, there are currently also opportunities again. We take a look at three potential turnaround candidates.

Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, Newmont - Gold stocks are under pressure
With the start of the Ukraine crisis, the gold price rallied and came close to all-time highs. However, gold was then subsequently sold off again. The reason could be that the Russian currency is backed by gold. If one wants to sanction Russia, one must care for a falling gold price. If Russia lacks money, it would have to sell its gold, which would also put pressure on the gold price. The second theory is contradicted by the fact that the Russian central bank continued to buy gold at the end of March, albeit below the market price. The situation on the gold market should relax when the Ukraine conflict ends. Therefore, it is now time to look for the right gold company.

Varta, Nevada Copper, E.ON - Shares for the electrification of tomorrow
More and more people are gaining access to electricity. In order to make this possible, copper is needed because this industrial metal is the best conductor of electricity. Due to the upheaval in the energy industry towards renewable energies and the electrification of vehicles, demand is increasing. Supply cannot keep pace. Although 2021 copper production has increased by 2.2%, it is only 0.3% above the pre-Corona level. That explains the significant increase in copper prices, and we can expect a supply deficit in 2022 as well. We look at three companies for the electrification of tomorrow.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Shares for the transportation of tomorrow
The transportation industry is on the verge of a radical change. According to a study by Bain & Company, every second vehicle will no longer require diesel as early as 2025. But while it is a done deal that the future of passenger cars belongs to the e-car sector, the outcome in the transport industry is still open. Yet freight transport is responsible for a large proportion of emissions. The problem is the heavy batteries, which still cause performance losses and longer charging times. Hydrogen can score points, especially in terms of charging times, and offers high fuel cell efficiency. Today, we take a look at three stocks for tomorrow's transportation.

Barrick Gold, Edgemont Gold, Rio Tinto - Are gold stocks taking off again?
With the start of the Ukraine crisis, the gold price skyrocketed, but since March 8, we find ourselves in a consolidation. The 200-day line is currently holding, and it could go up again from here. But let's look at the reasons for the weakness in the gold price. On the one hand, there is the strong dollar, which naturally puts pressure on the gold price, and on the other hand, bond yields in the US are climbing again. After the FED announced on May 4 that it would not raise interest rates by more than 0.5 percentage points, which was originally feared, the gold price jumped again. Demand for physical gold remains high. We look at three companies in the gold sector.

K+S, Globex Mining, BHP Group - Commodity stocks for the next supercycle
Decarbonization is taking its toll. If you want to get out of fossil fuels, you need alternatives. But these alternatives require raw materials, some of which are not available in sufficient quantities. The result is rising prices. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo see commodities at the beginning of a supercycle, which means that the rally in commodities will last longer than 10 years. Tight supply is now further torpedoed by the Ukraine crisis and supply chain problems visible in China's ports. It is terrible for the industry but good for commodity producers. Today we look at three companies that could benefit from a supercycle.
