Edison Lithium, Standard Lithium, Varta - Winners of the lithium shortage!
Electromobility is only at the beginning of enormous growth. The primary beneficiaries are companies that produce or are on the way to producing the imperative raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel. Demand is significantly outstripping supply, with an increasing tightening. As a result, commodity prices are rising, and so are producers' profits.

Novavax, Cardiol, MorphoSys - Here's the second wave of Corona vaccine plays!
The number of new Corona infections reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day has reached an all-time high. 236,120 additional cases were recorded, bringing the number of people in Germany who were confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2 to 10.4 million. However, the number of unreported cases is significantly higher. Vaccine manufacturers from the early days have been able to clear the table in recent months, and now new companies such as Novavax and Valneva are entering the scene. But not all innovative approaches to fighting Corona are on the radar of investors. These are perfect conditions for a second share price wave.

JinkoSolar, Memiontec, Nordex - Elementary profit opportunities!
Fire, Water, Earth and Air - according to ancient teachings, these are the determining elements of our universe. The question is how we can harness them in the future without destroying ourselves in the process. On the one hand, this is about future possibilities of use, but on the other hand, it is also about the question of how we can create fair access for all people in order to avert impending distribution conflicts. Below are three companies whose profits are based on one each of these four elements.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, K+S - The big picture is right!
Does inflation hurt the stock markets? The answer is: it depends. It depends on how high it is and how long it lasts. Likewise, industries and consumers are affected quite differently. Interest rate levels also play an important role. What has been shown in the past - gold performs well during periods of high inflation. Agricultural commodities are also predicted to have a dazzling future.

SAP, Kleos Space, Software AG - Big growth predicted!
Data is an extremely important raw material in today's world and is already referred to as the new gold. Big Data, the evaluation and processing of large amounts of data using artificial intelligence, will become increasingly important in the coming years, both in society and the capital markets. The next step is the collection of big data through satellite-based earth observation. In the future, this is expected to be beneficial to humanity in terms of security, pollution, and economics. Innovative companies relying on this technology are in a huge growth market.

Defense Metals, BYD, Daimler - New development phase reached!
With the amendment of the Climate Protection Act, the German government has tightened climate protection targets and is aiming for greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Emissions are to be reduced by 65% compared to 1990 as early as the beginning of the next decade. One key to putting this into practice is the electrification of transport. Around 14% of newly registered vehicles had an all-electric drive in 2021. That means the proportion of e-cars on German roads almost doubled compared with the previous year. As a result, demand for the required raw materials is rising ever more markedly. Surpluses in demand can already be seen.

Infineon, BrainChip, Advanced Micro Devices - Winners of the chip boom!
Climate change, mobility change, health technology - none of these megatrends can do without semiconductors. These marvels created from the desert sand are indispensable for every kind of modern technology. If they become scarce, everyone will feel the effects. Car drivers, video gamers and Bitcoin miners have been united in their suffering in recent months: waiting times of several months because chip producers could no longer keep up with production. But one man's sorrow is another man's joy: these stocks will benefit massively from the chip boom.

Aurubis, Nevada Copper, Daimler - Copper: Fueling the mobility and climate shift
No metal represents the step into our electrical century more than copper. The reddish shimmering metal with excellent conductivity is in demand wherever electricity is concerned. Experts estimate that about three to four times as much copper needs to be installed in e-cars than in a conventional combustion engine for mid-range cars, which currently comes to about 25kg of copper. Due to the high demand, copper consumption could increase more than tenfold in the next ten years.
