Square, BIGG Digital Assets, Advanced Micro Devices - Profiteers of the FinTech and crypto boom
FinTech and crypto are defining investment themes of today. Even though there are now efforts by politicians to curb or regulate cryptocurrencies, they will remain part of our everyday lives in the long run. For cryptos to be usable by the broad population, it is essential to make them easy and safe to trade and use as a means of payment. That requires certified trading platforms and reliable payment service providers. These are not the only ones who will benefit from the development; hardware manufacturers are also in great demand.

Aspermont, flatexDEGIRO, TeamViewer - Buy recommendations from analysts
Growth and expectations play a crucial role in share price development. But often, it is the discrepancy between expectations and forecasts on the one hand and the facts on the other that move prices. If expectations are missed, and this happens more often or to a serious extent, it can lead to prolonged share price weakness. On the other hand, overly high expectations of the investment community or a failure to recognize growth prospects can lead to good investment opportunities. Analysts recommend buying the following stocks.

JinkoSolar, Meta Materials, Encavis - Here comes the sun!
Climate is the dominant topic of our time. Not only has the population understood this and given the Greens a record result in the last federal election, but many companies from traditional sectors such as the automotive industry or heavy industry have now accepted that only green, sustainable technology promises lasting growth. Climate-neutral energy sources are the central element. Associated with this are energy storage challenges and increasing efficiency, which is currently still far from completely replacing fossil fuels. These three stocks will benefit from the upheavals.

Royal Helium, Gazprom, NEL - Now it is worth taking another look!
Helium is a sought-after noble gas essential for numerous applications due to its outstanding chemical and physical properties. It is used, for example, as a non-conductive, non-reactive coolant in medical laboratory equipment or in space rockets. It is also in demand in the electronics and nuclear industries. On Earth, helium occurs only in very low concentrations in the atmosphere due to its high volatility, although it is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen. Helium is often a byproduct of oil and gas production. How can investors profit?

AZTEC MINERALS - Fantastic drill results
In the medium term, nothing should stand in the way of rising precious metal prices. Gold and silver demand as jewelry, from the industry, and as crisis currency or inflation protection, form the basis for a perspectively higher price level. After an excellent performance last year, the prices of gold and silver are currently consolidating. For investors with an anticyclical approach, this opens up good investment opportunities. Exploration companies with high-quality projects, such as Aztec Minerals, historically benefit disproportionately from rising precious metal prices.
