Lucid Group, Graphano Energy, Orocobre - The new eMobility and its children
It is expected that no more passenger cars with internal combustion engines will be allowed to be registered in the EU from 2035. The associated non-EU country Norway is exerting even more pressure: in the land of fjords and trolls, new vehicles with gasoline or diesel engines will be banned as early as 2025. The same applies to Great Britain: the end of the combustion engine is to be brought forward to 2035, perhaps even to 2030 and applies for light trucks up to 26 tons. With hydrogen technology still in its infancy, the world is currently focusing primarily on rechargeable batteries. Here, the capacity screw is increasingly being turned to extend ranges and shorten charging times.

Royal Helium, dynaCERT, Gazprom - What is next?
The oil and gas sector has long been a popular investment area. However, when it comes to gas, hydrogen company share certificates have been more in the spotlight in recent months.

Osino Resources, Barrick, Newmont - Now comes the countermovement!
Inflation has been rising significantly for months. In October, consumer prices in the euro area rose by 4.1% YOY, the highest level in over 13 years. In Germany, the inflation rate even climbed to 4.5%! The last time this happened was in October 1993. Central banks dismiss this as a temporary phenomenon. The head of Deutsche Bank, Christian Sewing, made this clear a few days ago with his statements in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. The manager vigorously contradicts the wishful thinking of a temporary phenomenon and calls on the central banks to act. Given these general conditions and prospects, investors can protect their money in the best possible way by investing in tangible assets such as shares, real estate, commodities, or precious metals.

Kleos Space, Lufthansa, TeamViewer - Exciting developments!
The capital market thrives on diversity. The stock market trades in the future and is never a one-way street. The pendulum - as painful as it sometimes is - swings in both directions. Corporate growth is just as much fuel for share prices as euphoria and panic. The following companies have seen a lot of action in the recent past. Who will perform best by the end of the year?

MAS Gold, Barrick Gold, Yamana Gold - Go for gold!
If you look at the big picture, several aspects favor a medium-term increase in the price of gold. It is a combination of a low-interest rate environment, rising inflation and crisis currency in volatile stock market times. In addition, the global economic recovery is increasing the demand for gold. As the past has shown, the gold price can perform strongly even when nominal yields rise if inflation rates climb faster than interest rates. We believe this scenario is very realistic. Thus, these stocks should benefit.

Enapter, Plug Power, Ballard Power - This is the future!
In 1875, Jules Verne wrote in his book "The Mysterious Island": "Water is the coal of the future. Tomorrow's energy is water that has been broken down by electric current. The elements of water thus decomposed, hydrogen and oxygen, will secure the earth's energy supply for the unforeseeable time." The visionary was right. For a successful energy transition, we need hydrogen solutions. Mass production is increasingly within reach for many companies, but most companies are still in the red. Who will be ahead in the future?

Sierra Grande, Sibanye Stillwater, First Majestic - New developments!
High inflation argues in favor of investing in tangible assets such as equities, real estate and commodities. The traffic light is green for price increases in precious metals and energy metals in the medium term. Ultimately, investors must decide whether producers or exploration companies are of interest. Or perhaps a little of each?

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, K+S - Now or never?
With inflation of over 4% in Germany and the continued massive money printing of the central banks, every investor should think about protecting oneself against the loss of purchasing power. To dismiss this as a temporary phenomenon would be a mistake. In times of high inflation, a good strategy is to invest in tangible assets such as stocks, real estate, and commodities.
