Troilus Gold, Barrick Gold, Vonovia - Where does the correction offer the greatest opportunities?
Good US labor market data have made voices for an exit from the extremely loose monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve louder again. As a result, the US dollar strengthened and the prices of gold and silver weakened. From a chart perspective, prices of around USD 1680 for gold appear realistic in the short term, accompanied by high volatility. Such setbacks offer good trading and investment opportunities in first-class gold stocks. Who is ahead?

Diamcor Mining, Rio Tinto, Siemens - Tailwind
Diamonds have a number of unique properties, which means that they are in demand in the jewelry sector and industry in particular. Diamonds are considered the hardest material of all; they can withstand high thermal stress and strong electrical resistance. For these reasons, diamonds are sought after in laser technology, in semiconductors, and for a wide range of electronic components. The world's largest diamond producers include Russia, Africa and Australia. Many industry experts expect that current known global diamond production will be insufficient to meet growing demand from China and India. We have three exciting investment ideas in store.

Pure Extraction, Ballard Power, TotalEnergies - Hydrogen: New Opportunities!
Hydrogen is an excellent alternative to battery-powered vehicles. A hydrogen car can be refueled in less than 5 minutes and still achieve long ranges of 400 to 650 kilometers. The fuel cell generates the electricity for the electric drive on board through the reaction of hydrogen with atmospheric oxygen. The by-products are heat and water, but no local emissions. The technology clearly scores with a high system efficiency of around 60%. The fuel cell is thus a much more efficient drive than a combustion engine, which has an efficiency of only 20 to 30%. We show you how you can benefit from the hydrogen revolution.

Defense Metals, BYD, Nordex - Buy the trend!
Whether a laptop, cell phone, electric motor or wind turbine - rare earths are an indispensable raw material for producing all these goods. The megatrends of electromobility and renewable energies, in particular, are fuelling demand. Motors for electric vehicles and generators for wind power plants require powerful permanent magnets, and this is where rare earths such as neodymium and dysprosium come into play. We show you how to profit from this trend.

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.
