Osino Resources, Barrick, First Majestic - Winners for 2022!
Historically, the current gold price level of a good USD 1,800 per troy ounce can be considered high. This year, gold producers were able to post record profits. In the medium term, many things point to rising precious metal prices. Decisive framework conditions are the low-interest rate level, inflation, economic growth, the condition of the stock markets, the level of gold reserves, and the long-term production outlook.

Novavax, XPhyto Therapeutics, Bayer - Corona shares for 2022!
The head of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, warned a few days ago that the healthcare system would be overburdened and critical care structures impaired if the feared Omicron wave could not be curbed. This situation illustrates that the pandemic is far from letting us go. Vaccine manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies will continue to benefit. Their shares should also be on the winning side next year.

Mutares, Hong Lai Huat, Aurelius - Yield generators in 2022!
Given high inflation, investing in tangible assets such as shares, real estate, and commodities is still a good idea in 2022.

Kinross Gold, Almonty Industries, K+S - Is rising inflation the trigger for commodity stocks?
Two topics are currently occupying the markets: the impact of the new Corona Omicron variant on global supply chains and the further course of inflation. Experts disagree on both topics. While everyone assumes that the Omicron variant will lead to another global wave, most experts now see the supply chains as so stable that a fundamental disruption is now virtually impossible as was at the beginning of the pandemic. Concerning inflation, there are increasing voices that this should not be regarded as merely temporary. That should drive commodity stocks.

Triumph Gold, First Majestic, K+S - Something is happening here!
Inflation has reached its highest level in decades in many countries. Even though the US Federal Reserve has already sent clear signals for upcoming interest rate increases, the real interest rate will remain negative for a long time, and the loss of purchasing power will be felt. In such a situation, investors can protect their money by investing in tangible assets such as stocks, real estate, and commodities.

Memiontec, E.ON, RWE - Fighting the crisis with basic services!
A ghost is haunting the world - the ghost of inflation. With 6.8% for November, the USA reports the highest rate since June 1982. 5.2% inflation in Germany was also the highest in 30 years. Central banks are under pressure to act, and tension is rising on the stock markets. Experts expect inflationary pressure to ease again somewhat in 2022. However, no one knows whether new variants of the Coronavirus will again trigger disruptions in supply chains. In such cases, in addition to tangible assets and commodities, shares in companies that provide basic supplies are recommended. Here are interesting candidates that could provide a safe haven for investment.

United Internet, BrainChip, Software AG - Promising further growth!
Growth strategy and the use of innovative technologies are often decisive for the continued existence of a company. Not only in large corporations, as seen in the example of SAP with the expansion of the cloud business, but the conventional business areas are also hardly sufficient anymore. A generation change is also taking place in the production of semiconductors. The market for chips for artificial intelligence is currently experiencing a real hype, which is likely to accelerate in the coming years. Smaller companies, in particular, have a head start in terms of know-how.
