There are many answers to the question of what is important or right in investing. We present three investments to you, which may correspond to your ideas.

Square, Marble Financial, Commerzbank - Generating high returns with innovations!

  • Investments

Innovation meets the financial industry. The terms fintech, proptech or insuretech, are often associated with it. The common denominator: technological innovations meet fields of application in established industries. Whether mass-market or niche, the new solutions often have the potential to shake up the industry. Usually, it is David versus Goliath. However, history also holds other possible scenarios in store. Sometimes the two cooperate, or an established player takes over the newcomer. We present three exciting stocks below. Who has the greatest potential?

TUI, The Place Holdings, Nordex - Watch out: Buy signals!

  • Investments

Even if things are currently going more along the lines of "2 steps forward, one step back" in terms of a return to normality, at least the direction is right. A lot of patience is being demanded from all of us. Patience is a test and an essential ingredient in the recipe collection for stock market success for investors. If we look to the future and mentally "fast-forward" a good year, many companies will have put the past or current stresses behind them. We present to you three stocks for the future.

Varta, Nevada Copper, Porsche - In the wake of the electromobility megatrend!

  • Copper

Demand for copper is increasing, and not only as a result of electromobility. Almost three times as much copper is used in an e-car as in a vehicle with a combustion engine. The world's largest consumer of the industrial metal is China, especially the construction sector. Chile and Peru top the list of the largest copper producers, followed by China and the United States. The metals price has been bullish over the last 12 months, showing a 75% increase. The future is bright not only for the price of copper or the shares of copper producers but also for related demand industries. We present you with three promising investments.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold Ventures, Sibanye Stillwater - absolutely unrecognized: tremendous price opportunities!

  • Gold

Gold shares currently offer a very attractive risk-reward ratio. Even the star investor Warren Buffett made a quick grab at the world's second-largest gold producer, Barrick, during the pandemic. Mining companies were able to achieve record profits across the board in the past fiscal year. They are now increasingly using this to reduce their debt and expand in investments in existing and new projects. In some cases, in the form of takeovers or strategic acquisitions. Here, Sibanye-Stillwater could attract attention with a merger. The stock's P/E ratio is below 4. In addition, the Company is also pushing its entry into new areas such as battery metals. Desert Gold Ventures is also a stock in which a lot of potential lurks, especially if the gold price picks up again. Thus, investors should still stock up on the fair-weather stock market before the next clouds roll in.

Osino Resources, Yamana Gold, E.ON - Traders and Contrarians beware!

  • Gold

Falling yields on the bond market and rising inflation could very soon trigger a crash on the bond market that would also affect the stock market - in the short term. In such a scenario, crisis currencies like gold will benefit. Companies with good projects that produce the precious metal or are on their way to do so will benefit disproportionately from the rise in precious metal prices. We show you where you should position yourself.

Linde, Royal Helium, Air Liquide - Two hydrogens, one helium. All there for an explosive mixture!

  • Helium

Nuclear fusion is the keyword of the future. Technically, this involves fusing two hydrogen atoms to form a helium nucleus. What is possible on a large scale on the sun without any problems (in fact, 564 million tons of hydrogen are fused into helium there every second), unfortunately, remains a dream of the future for us. This means 1. we cannot yet generate electricity from nuclear fusion, so we must continue to manage the energy transition with established sustainable technologies such as wind, solar and hydropower. Hydrogen will play a prominent role as an energy storage and transmission medium. And 2. helium will not be produced on an industrial scale in the foreseeable future in any other way than through conventional production. The following three companies should profit strongly from the energy turnaround.

Siemens Energy, Enapter, ThyssenKrupp - hydrogen or battery? It doesn't matter! Why these companies will profit in any case!

  • Hydrogen

The strong fluctuations in the price of hydrogen shares are evidence of the current war of faith surrounding our planet's most common element, which is also the simplest in structure: one proton, one electron. Perfection can be so beautifully simple. And yet, it has the potential to change our society from the ground up - the sun shows us how. Admittedly, we are still at the beginning of this development. In the short term, the focus of the capital market is more on the element's practical applications. In this context, many investors are looking at the topic of mobility. What will prevail? Batteries? Hydrogen? One possible answer was recently given by the VW commercial vehicle holding Company Traton SE: a Solomonic "both." Batteries for long-distance traffic, hydrogen for buses, which cannot be recharged for long periods in between. But hydrogen is also of great importance for many other areas of application. That is why the worldwide demand for hydrogen as an energy carrier will increase massively in the next few years in any case. Aurora Energy Research foresees an eightfold increase in hydrogen demand to 2,500 TWh per year by 2050. This estimate corresponds to annual sales of more than EUR 120 billion. The following companies are likely to benefit from the boom quite independently of the development of electromobility.
