Silver Viper Minerals, Nordex, JinkoSolar - These shares are taking off!
Like gold, silver is a precious metal. Both are characterized by the fact that they do not rust. They have always been used for the production of jewelry and in medicine. However, since silver is much more abundant than gold, its price is many times lower. Currently, the ratio is about 1:70, so it was affordable even for less well-heeled investors, which earned it the nickname of the "poor man's gold." However, silver is also characterized by various physical properties that make it extremely valuable for industrial use today. Due to its excellent conductivity and catalytic properties, it is used in solar and battery production. As a result, the price has literally exploded over the past twelve months. Below are three promising stocks that are directly or indirectly related to the price of silver.

Troilus Gold, First Majestic Silver, Sibanye Stillwater - This will move the prices!
The reasons to invest in precious metals are manifold: as protection against inflation, as a crisis currency, or to profit from increasing industrial demand. In addition to investing in gold or silver bars, certificates or funds, active investors are likely to focus on direct investment in stocks that offer good opportunities. The universe is huge, and there is the right opportunity for every risk appetite. Exploration companies searching for raw materials, development companies busy building the mine and ramping up production, or producers, whose success shareholders can ultimately participate in through dividend payouts. Below are three promising stocks that have recently published excellent news.

Infineon, Defense Metals, Aixtron - It is getting tight!
Supply bottlenecks in various industries, e.g. wood, metals, semiconductors or chips (see Infineon and Aixtron in this article), are causing prices to skyrocket. Whether only a short-term phenomenon, it remains to be seen. One area that is heading for ever-increasing demand with manageable supply is "rare earths." Particularly for producers or prospective producers or exploration companies, such as Defense Metals, this should pay off in the medium term.

dynaCERT, Plug Power, Nel ASA - Hydrogen stocks pick up speed again!
Undeniably, 2020 was a fantastic year for stocks even remotely involved in hydrogen technology. It seems all too obvious that hydrogen will become an essential part of the new energy mix and play a central role in most major industrial and transportation projects. Whether as a fuel in the automotive industry (both for combustion and in fuel cell technology) or as a storage medium for smart power grids, the high-energy gas that burns only to form water is seen as the answer to many questions. Then, in early 2021, a trend reversal. Too many uncertainties about the green production and usability of hydrogen technology unsettled investors, so a correction followed. Now, however, hydrogen stocks are starting a new rally, and those who were too late last time should think about getting in now.

BYD, Kodiak Copper, Xiaomi - Copper: Buy or cash in?
The demand for copper will continue to grow. These are the findings of the recently published study by the International Copper Association (ICA). The ICA predicts that by 2030, more than 250,000 tons of copper per year will be used as part of the windings in electric traction motors. But copper is also in demand in many other industries. Demand exceeding supply or supply bottlenecks can make the raw material more expensive overnight at any time. For this reason, today, we take a look at a budding copper producer. Of course, large demanders such as BYD or Xiaomi must not be missing in the consideration. After all, our everyday companion, the smartphone, contains 15% copper. Let us surprise you with three exciting investment ideas.
