Troilus Gold, Rio Tinto, BHP - Exploit uncertainty!
The falling demand for iron ore by the world's largest consumer, China, has put enormous pressure on the prices for iron ore and led to the downward slide in the share prices of major players such as Rio Tinto and BHP. In the medium term, prices will have to rise again due to high demand. Likewise, precious metals should rise in times of high inflation, including copper, which is in demand due to the growth of electromobility, among other things.

Kodiak Copper, Nordex, E.ON - It is not too late!
Certain framework conditions must be in place to successfully implement the energy transition and the roll-out of electromobility. First, sufficient electricity must be produced from renewable energies. Secondly, an efficient energy infrastructure must be established and thirdly, large quantities of relevant raw materials such as copper are required. The three companies below cover the central fields and should therefore be among the winners. Who is making the running?

Barsele Minerals, Mutares, SoftBank - Spoilt for choice
Sooner or later, value-creating transactions are reflected in the share price of a respective company. For companies like Mutares or SoftBank, buying and selling company shares is a core business. The share of the Canadian explorer Barsele Minerals offers a unique situation with the possibility to take over the promising Barsele gold project in northern Sweden completely. We reveal where a closer look is worthwhile.

Aztec Minerals, ThyssenKrupp, TeamViewer - Buy prices?
The crisis at Chinese real estate group Evergrande has led to weaker stock prices around the globe. The gold price resisted this downward trend with slight gains. Now the fate of Evergrande is in the hands of the Chinese government and creditors. But every crisis also offers opportunities. Which stock do you want to bet on?

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, flatexDEGIRO - What is next after the correction?
Not always does an equation work out when investing in the short term. Patience and a longer-term investment horizon are not often emphasized for nothing. Investments in tangible assets such as stocks, commodities and real estate have been proven to protect against a loss of purchasing power. Precious metals are also suitable as crisis currencies over more extended periods. Setbacks offer opportunities! Who has the best cards?

Triumph Gold, First Majestic, Varta - Inflation is getting worse than we think - How to safeguard your assets!
Inflation in the US eased slightly in August from July's 5.4% to 5.3%. Nevertheless, this is a high value. It would be premature to derive a trend reversal from this. Far more dramatic are the rates of inflation in wholesale prices in Germany. As the Federal Statistical Office recently reported, these rose by 12.3% year-on-year in August. It was the most substantial increase since October 1974, during the first oil crisis. Investors should invest in tangible assets such as shares, real estate, commodities, or precious metals to protect their assets. Who offers the best risk-reward ratio?

GSP Resource - Exciting Micro Cap
Historically and over more extended periods, precious metals such as gold and silver have provided good inflation protection and have thus established themselves as crisis currencies over several economic cycles.

Almonty Industries, Infineon, VW - This is just the teaser - What is next?
From A for antimony to V for vanadium, the European Union's list of critical raw materials now includes 30 materials, including lithium, cobalt, rare earths and tungsten. These raw materials are characterized by low availability and high economic importance. Many key European industries rely on these raw materials, such as the automotive, steel, aerospace, IT, healthcare, or renewable energy sectors. Demand is increasingly being driven by new products and technologies such as electromobility, digitalization and the energy transition. The supply cannot keep up with this. Bottlenecks are emerging, which, among other things, are leading to higher prices for the critical raw materials and posing major challenges for demand-side industries. How can investors position themselves successfully?
