Barrick Gold, GSP Resource, SMA Solar - Buy Prices?
Raw materials and energy are central prerequisites for our life as we know it not to stand still.

BP, Deutsche Rohstoff, Encavis - Is that it?
Nothing works without energy. But the world also needs to keep an eye on resource extraction and climate protection. ESG is a big investment topic. Even if the ideal target includes primarily renewable energy, that is simply out of touch with reality. Oil and gas producers are an attractive investment due to the high prices of the extracted raw materials. When will the next price jump come?

K+S, Silver Viper Minerals, First Majestic Silver - Something is happening here!

Below are three papers that can be used to take advantage of the cyclicality in the commodities sector.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Which biotech stock suits which investor?
Corona is and remains the threat of the hour. In this respect, it is not surprising that the papers of the German vaccine pioneer BioNTech have gone on a fabulous journey. Other companies are still trying to jump on this bandwagon, too. For example, both Canada's Defence Therapeutics and Munich-based Formycon AG are researching a Covid-19 vaccine. However, these developments are at very different stages. In addition, the further product spectrum differs significantly in some cases. But which share is the right one for the portfolio? We took a closer look at the three dissimilar siblings.

JinkoSolar, dynaCERT, Vestas - Who is the best Cleantech investment?
Current extreme heat of up to 50 °C in North America, arctic temperatures here in southern Germany still in April: The weather is going crazy, and humankind does not seem to be entirely innocent if leading global climate researchers are to be believed. Thus the climatic warming caused by human industrialization seems to have extraordinarily rapid and powerful effects. Now that more sensible people are finally back in control of the levers of power in crucial countries, agreements on necessary immediate measures will be reached more quickly. The decarbonization of industry is one of the most important building blocks that should be addressed with many different Cleantech solutions. We present three stories with extremely promising approaches and corresponding share price potential.

Barrick Gold, Triumph Gold, Sibanye-Stillwater - invest with foresight!
In the medium term, many market participants agree - the gold price will and must rise. The monetary policy is too expansive, and historically, the precious metal has always been in high demand when there is a crisis. At around USD 1,800 per ounce, the gold price is still more than USD 250 away from the summer high of 2020. But even the current price level allows producers to earn high profits, deleverage, pay higher dividends, buy back their shares, or diligently acquire projects. We show you three promising investment ideas from the gold sector. Who is the favorite?

Gazprom, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - First-class trading opportunities: dispute in OPEC causes prices to fluctuate
A few days ago, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and several cooperation partners broke off their negotiations on future production volumes without any results. The fact that no new meeting date has been set, as reported by several news agencies, raises eyebrows. At first, it seemed that an expansion of the oil supply was now off the table and that nothing would stand in the way of a further increase in the oil price in the short term. However, the markets are now playing a different card. Market participants fear a rise in inflation as a result of oil prices rising too sharply. In addition, fears are being voiced that OPEC could break up. We show you which stocks you can use to take advantage of the current volatility!
