Stellantis Slumps, BYD Holds Steady, Power Metallic Mines Poised to Soar!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While BYD has established itself as one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric vehicles, Stellantis has had to admit to misjudgments that will lead to write-downs exceeding its current market value. This recently shocked the stock market. By contrast, the outlook for Power Metallic Mines is bright. The Canadians have one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. This asset is valuable to many industrial groups. In times of building strategic reserves of critical raw materials, the company should attract more attention. Well-known investors have already jumped on board, and analysts attest to the stock's potential to double in value.

These companies have the perfect growth formula: Silver North Resources, Barrick Mining, and ASTA Energy Solutions!
Favorable conditions and strong balance sheets provide the foundation for share price gains. This formula applies to all three companies mentioned. With its recent IPO and fresh funds, ASTA Energy Solutions can benefit significantly from the megatrend of the energy transition. High gold prices are filling Barrick's coffers, and the spin-off of its North American gold assets will provide an additional return lever. Well-financed Canadian explorer Silver North Resources is making strong progress. High-grade silver properties in Canada are being developed at a rapid pace, creating added value for shareholders. The high silver price provides additional support – a simple equation.

Antimony Resources: North America's largest critical minerals project sparks interest – when will Trump come knocking?
Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material projects and resource companies. These are the conclusions reached by renowned consulting firms. Security of supply is now defining strategic logic. Many experts conclude that states and governments will increasingly become the most important investors in industry in the future. Antimony Resources shares are increasingly being traded as beneficiaries. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America.

Breaking news! This innovation is transforming the battery industry – What it means for NEO Battery Materials, DroneShield, and BYD
Artificial intelligence, electromobility, and drones are some of the topics that are highly favoured by investors. However, one crucial link in the chain is too often neglected: powerful, flexible battery solutions from Western industrialized countries. China's dominance must be broken as quickly as possible. With a new generation of cells, NEO Battery Materials could now shake up the market. The potential is huge, but this is not yet reflected in the market capitalization of around CAD 100 million.

Profits with a plan: Spin-offs as return drivers – Now it is Pure One's turn, Infineon and TKMS have shown the way!
The market often undervalues complex companies. Spin-offs - the separation of a division, technology, or subsidiary from an existing company - are a proven way to make hidden value visible. Investors can benefit from this, often with clear advance notice. One of the most well-known spin-offs is PayPal. In 2015, eBay shareholders received 0.22 PayPal shares for each eBay share held. Today, PayPal is one of the world's largest payment service providers. The Australian company Pure One will soon be listing its highly sought-after gas activities on the stock exchange via an IPO. This is an opportunity investors should not miss.

Energy: The bottleneck of the markets – how investors can benefit from American Atomics, Nordex, and Siemens Energy!
Energy is a key determinant of the competitiveness of economies and companies. Availability, price, and security of supply directly influence costs and, in turn, the prices of products and services. Renewable energy is important, but fluctuating power generation, the risk of dark doldrums, and the currently limited storage capacity pose significant challenges. Against this backdrop, uranium is experiencing a comeback as a reliable energy source. Many tech giants such as Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are already relying on nuclear power to meet the enormous energy demands of their data centers and AI infrastructures in a reliable and low-carbon way. American Atomics is considered a beneficiary of this trend. The company is pursuing the goal of establishing a fully integrated North American value chain, leveraging favorable political and structural tailwinds.

These investment specialists pay high dividends: RE Royalties, Mutares, DWS – Growth and dividends are not mutually exclusive!
Nowadays, anyone who talks too much about dividends can quickly be labeled "old-fashioned." Why settle for a 6 or 10% return when stock prices seem to be skyrocketing every day? But trees do not grow to the sky. Recently, investors were abruptly reminded of this by the sudden crash in gold and silver. While the masses often chase the next big thing, successful investors sometimes pursue very different strategies. Warren Buffett made a fortune with investments that others considered boring. The companies mentioned here pay high dividends - RE Royalties, even 13% p.a. - and continue to grow. Not exciting enough? Perhaps. But often, this is exactly how money is made in the long term.

Antimony: Critical raw material becomes a geopolitical factor – Antimony Resources poised for revaluation
Antimony Resources is quietly emerging as a raw materials story with enormous strategic impact.

Investors who recognize the trend early on are securing a place at the beginning of a highly exciting and lucrative investment story.

Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation
All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.
