wallstreet:online, flatexDEGIRO, Commerzbank - If you look closely...
A positive stock market environment, low-interest rates and stock trading at zero cost are the reasons that have sent the prices of stockbrokers and brokers from all-time high to all-time high in recent months. Intermittent breathers are healthy for the peakers. The latest round of capital in unlisted broker Trade Republic, with a valuation of more than EUR 4 billion, demonstrates the potential investors have for new fee models and an active investor base. The following three stocks are far from exhausted, in our opinion.

Oatly, The Very Good Food Company, Beyond Meat - Big profits with no end in sight!
It should be dawning on many of us by now that with increasing prosperity and a growing population, factory farming and meat consumption cannot continue indefinitely. But the vegetarian way of life is still too often ridiculed. However, it could be a partial solution to the challenges mentioned. From an investor's point of view, it is worth considering how much money can be made with vegetarian substitutes. Therefore, the following is a brief look at three publicly traded companies that are likely to appeal to even meat-eaters.

Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Klöckner & Co.- Indispensable raw materials!
According to the EU, tungsten is one of the most critical raw materials globally in terms of economic importance and procurement risk. The chemical element has the highest melting and boiling point and is therefore used in many critical industrial sectors. The main application of tungsten is in the form of tungsten steel - a high-alloy steel. Given the resource scarcity, it is reason enough for us to take a closer look at the interface between the steel industry and tungsten production with three promising stocks. Where is the yield driver?

Bayer, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Lufthansa - All the ingredients for a price fireworks display!
Information moves prices. Sometimes up, sometimes down, and sometimes information seems to "bounce off" - ignored or misinterpreted by market participants. It is easier said than done to correctly classify the information in relation to the long-term perspective of a company. Thus, as seen last week with Bayer and Deutsche Lufthansa, a short-term price dampener is a good opportunity to enter the market. But also, information that is complex in detail and must first be "understood", offers the chance to make a real bargain. Canadian oil and gas producer Saturn is a case in point. The Company is moving into new dimensions with an acquisition, and according to the latest analyst report, the stock has the potential to triple in value. Where will you buy?

Silkroad Nickel, NIO, Varta - Pre-programmed bottlenecks = price opportunities
Electromobility and battery technology are inextricably linked. Sales figures for e-vehicles are rising rapidly and will multiply in the next few years. This global increase in production will become challenging in many places. Not just with the competitive situation, which is becoming increasingly intense as Chinese players gain strength, but also the availability of the critical raw materials for battery production. There are signs of a huge supply deficit in nickel over the next few years. We show you how to invest with foresight and profitably.

Royal Helium, Royal Dutch Shell, Gazprom - These commodity stocks are stepping on the gas
Commodities are currently on everyone's lips again: energy transition, electromobility, medical progress. All of these require resources that, as always, have to be laboriously extracted or produced. Corona has made the situation even worse: people are currently feeling the pain of global production shortfalls. Semiconductor chips are currently in short supply, and copper prices are rising. What this means for the manufacturing industry and the end consumer, however, is reflected in the profits of the raw material producers. Time to take a closer look at them and profit from the development!

QMines, Leoni, Siemens Energy - Top picks for the energy turnaround
Surveys show that the majority of Germans believe the energy turnaround is necessary. Climate change is manifesting itself in increasingly extreme weather conditions: exceptional cold, extreme heat spells, massive flooding and ever more pronounced droughts are causing hardship for people around the world. Most experts agree that further aggravation of the problem can only be mitigated by limiting CO2 emissions. The companies that stand to benefit massively from this are those that provide the resources needed to do so. Below are three candidates with the 'through-the-roof' potential.

In the following, we present three companies that are all profiting from the megatrend. Here are the yield drivers for your portfolio.

Kinross Gold, SunMirror, Yamana Gold - Volatility is rising, now what?
Rules and exceptions. A well-known saying goes that there is no rule without exception. Looking at yesterday's stock market as a snapshot, one might conclude that "volatility is rising and everything else is falling." Right, or wrong? It is often just a matter of perspective and a snapshot in time. Long-term evidence is that precious metals stocks are a good investment idea during difficult stock market periods. We have brought several of them.
