Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, BP - Commodities are a sleeping giant
For gold investors, 2021 was a very dull year. After breaking out to USD 2,075 in 2020, the commodity corrected and fluctuated between USD 1,600 and USD 1,900 in 2021. Medially, gold was displaced by bitcoin, and so there are many stocks in the gold sector, some of which are significantly undervalued. Oil has a similar fate. Due to climate protection, oil gets the image of a polluter, while a modern industrial society is still not possible without it. The major oil companies are no longer investing in the development of new deposits in order to improve their climate footprint. However, demand continues to rise and will remain high in the coming years. We take a look at three commodity companies from the two sectors.

Lufthansa, wallstreet:online, Block - Shares with catch-up potential
The nervousness was palpable as the US indices fell for five days in a row. Reasons for consolidation are quickly found - the Omicron variant, inflation and the fear of rising interest rates provide uncertainty for the bulls. Especially the big tech companies would suffer from an interest rate hike, and many tech stocks were already punished and investors preferred to invest in value stocks. If the interest rate hike comes, there will likely be further markdowns in the tech sector. Today, we look at three companies that we believe could be on the verge of a turnaround.

Bayer, XPhyto Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Which pharmaceutical companies bring returns?
Most recently, the pharmaceutical industry has been accused of being greedy and getting rich off Corona. While it is true that 2021 has been dominated by vaccine news, the industry can do much more than just produce vaccines against Corona. Handelsblatt ran a headline on January 10, "In the shadow of Corona," citing the growing number of cancers over the past several years. This year, more than 45 new drugs are expected to hit the market to help fight cancer and genetic defects, among other things. Today, we look at three companies that do not make Corona vaccines.

Alibaba, Hong Lai Huat, Xiaomi - Asian stocks catching up?
The year 2021 was often a year to forget for investors in the Asian region. Chinese stocks, in particular, suffered from government regulation, causing many stocks to plummet despite good numbers. After the dip in 2020 due to the Corona pandemic, the economy made significant gains, but this rapid growth will not continue so quickly in 2022. Nevertheless, the first investors are sensing a trend reversal due to the discrepancy in stock market developments. While the US stock market climbed strongly in 2021, the Hang Seng fell 13% plus. There has not been such a difference since the Asian crisis. We take a look at three interesting shares from the Asian region.

Lufthansa, Prospect Ridge Resources, S&T - Profits beckon here
2022 is beginning like 2021 - Corona is still the number one topic. Despite the pandemic, one can draw hope from the past year because, despite all adversities, the shares have, in part, made very decent gains. Now, with Omicron, endemicity seems possible. The virus is more contagious, but the course is milder than the previous variants. Infection could bring about the herd immunity that has long been longed for. In addition to Corona, however, one must also keep an eye on inflation. It has been taking hold since mid-2021 and will continue to occupy us in 2022. The question on all investors' minds is: where do the gains beckon in the coming year? Today, we highlight three possible winners.

Gazprom, Almonty Industries, Standard Lithium - Investing in commodities with high demand
2021 was the year of skyrocketing commodity prices. Many different factors played a role. One, of course, was the Corona pandemic, which caused many companies to cut back on production. As the economy recovered faster than expected, markets were undersupplied. In addition, there were supply chain difficulties, natural disasters, and export restrictions, and this is where some of the dependencies on China became apparent. Currently, too little magnesium is being produced because the Middle Kingdom is suffering from electricity shortages. Today we look at three commodity producers for which we expect demand to remain high in 2022.

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