EuroSports Global, Porsche, Xiaomi - Do not miss out: favorable valuation levels!
With the advancement of electromobility, electricity consumption will increase massively. That means challenges for power generation, the power grid and also the charging infrastructure. However, this does not necessarily mean an increase in household electricity prices, as the results of a Fraunhofer study suggest. The Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Energy IEG and the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI have investigated how electricity prices for private households will change in 2030 if the number of private electric vehicles continues to rise. According to this study, under certain conditions, the expansion of electromobility could help to simultaneously avoid CO2 and ease the burden on private households' wallets. Which of the following three eMobility stocks has the greatest potential?

Triumph Gold, Steinhoff, Meyer Burger- Pennystock power for the portfolio!
It is unmistakable that we are at the beginning of high inflation. Even if the central banks want to make us believe that this is only a temporary phenomenon and not that bad - it is bad. Investors can protect their assets by investing in tangible assets such as shares, real estate or precious metals. For those who want a more speculative admixture, the following three stocks are attractive. Who is the outperformer?

First Majestic Silver, Kodiak Copper, Orocobre - Metals for e-mobility offer great growth potential
Tesla, NIO and Polestar, the pioneers of e-mobility. But the global climate crisis and the realization that it can only be combated with the help of a consistent reduction in greenhouse gases has also led traditional car manufacturers to realize that alternative drive concepts are necessary, not least as a result of legal requirements. Electromobility has currently established itself as the most promising option. Manufacturers are now hastily trying to steer their product development in this direction and are making announcements about the end of the internal combustion engine: Jaguar wants to phase out the engine by 2025. Fiat, Volvo and Ford have announced the end of the engine by 2030. VW has set the period between 2033 and 2035 as its target, at least for Europe, and Audi wants to phase out entirely by then. Mercedes also has a similar date in mind. However, all e-cars have one thing in common: they are very hungry for raw materials. An e-car requires about four times as much copper as a combustion engine. Consumption of gold and silver (onboard electronics) and lithium (batteries) will also increase significantly.

Blackrock Silver, K+S, Barrick Gold - China first!
The Chinese government is demonstrating with all its might who has the last word. The regulation of industries and business models, which, as recently seen in the Chinese education sector, destroys the existence of companies and has weighed heavily on Chinese stocks in recent days. If the situation continues to escalate, it could easily negatively color the world's stock markets' mood. That is when it is worth looking at precious metals stocks, as they usually benefit disproportionately from rising commodity prices in times of crisis. Who will come out on top?

Vonovia, Barsele Minerals, Aixtron - That will move the prices!
Takeovers can move share prices. That is true for the acquisition of entire companies as well as for individual divisions or projects.

These three shares are currently in an exciting phase. Which value has the greatest potential?

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac - What is next?
Are you smiling or shaking your head? Both are easily understandable reactions that investors might have in light of the latest statements from the Deutsches Aktien Institut (DAI). The DAI calls for better conditions for IPOs of growth companies to prevent such companies from migrating to foreign stock exchanges, as happened with BioNTech, among others. "Especially companies with specialized business models and high financing needs are dependent on foreign investors," explained Uta-Bettina von Altenbockum. However, this is not a new phenomenon either. Other countries have been creating better framework conditions for corporations and better tax incentives for investors for a long time. Own goal. What opportunities are there?

Endeavour Silver, Aztec Minerals, ThyssenKrupp - Spoilt for choice: silver, gold or steel?
Despite recent setbacks in commodity prices and share prices, most experts believe that the current commodity bull market will continue for some time. The drivers are likely to be the global economic stimulus programs to overcome the consequences of the Corona Crisis, the climate crisis and the associated need for an energy turnaround, as well as the Chinese economy's continuing hunger for raw materials. The Chinese recently announced their intention to liquidate raw material reserves to stop the market price rally, putting a damper on some raw material prices. Still, many analysts believe this is more likely to be a short-term flash in the pan, given the overall situation. Below are three favorably valued stocks with which investors can profit from commodities.

Barrick Gold, White Metal Resources, Yamana - Soon, things are going to happen here!
When the markets shake out, it can not hurt to have a little gold in the portfolio. Whether physically or in the form of shares is a matter of taste.
