SAP, Aspermont, IBM - Disruptive changes through digitization: Recognize potentials and act in time!
In 1996, Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote an essay entitled "Content is King". In it, he assumed that the emerging Internet would develop into a marketplace for content in the years to come. He was right but did not take into account the users' low willingness to pay and the resulting importance for advertising. And this is where other companies such as Google came out on top. As digital transformation has progressed, however, a trend in the other direction has become apparent in recent years: The introduction of flat rates (Spotify, Netflix), cloud solutions (iCloud, Google Drive) and anything-as-a-service models (e.g., software: Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office 365) is encouraging people to pay for content if they receive reliability, up-to-dateness and ease of use in return - provided, of course, that the price/performance ratio is perceived as reasonable. The following companies have a unique opportunity to benefit from the power of transformation.

AT&T, Altria Group, Q&M Dental - Dividend hunters, watch out!
We live in uncertain times. And not just since Covid-19 came on the scene. Even before that, interest rates were at rock bottom thanks to the central banks' flood of money. Alternative return concepts were needed: cryptocurrencies, tokens, ICOs, etc. If all this is too hot for you, you might want to think about something that has always promised a sustainable return: the dividend. With dividend yields around 5% or above, the following stocks are attractive securities for every wallet from an investor's perspective.

BYD, Kodiak Copper, RWE - Quick profits: Use consolidation to enter!
The need for a secure supply of energy that is available at all times is growing as digitization and electrification advance. Many building blocks have to fit together before an electric motor can run. Raw materials such as copper are at the very beginning of the value chain. This industrial metal has excellent conductivity and is therefore linked to various facets of electromobility and power generation. Position yourself correctly ahead of the next growth spurt!

Evotec, Cardiol Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Watch out: Great upside potential here in the short term
In the pandemic, investors have learned that small biotech companies, some still with a start-up character, can be worth billions overnight. BioNTech and CureVac are familiar names from the press. Both are linked by the Corona drug and the fact that they are headquartered in Germany. Two other German companies, Evotec and MorphoSys, have written a good growth story on the stock exchange in recent years: small becomes big! Small is also still the Canadian Cardiol Therapeutics. With the announced dual listing on the US technology exchange Nasdaq, a valuation boost could be imminent.

E.ON, Defense Metals, SAP - Outperform with strong sustainability companies!
Sustainable investments play an increasingly important, sometimes decisive role for asset managers and institutional asset management. The embedding of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) criteria in the corporate philosophy of the "money multipliers" and in particular in the process of investing money serves to differentiate from the competition, to improve risk management, to open up new business areas and to act in anticipation of possible EU regulations. For listed companies, this means making themselves attractive to investors through a transparent and comprehensive ESG policy. Several examples show that investors can outperform the broad market with ESG stocks. We present three promising investments.

TAAT, GS Holdings, Aphria - lifestyle and wellness stocks with powerful upside potential
What does lifestyle and wellness encompass for you? Being active? Being pampered? Or a good meal followed by an espresso or a cigarette? The latter has become much less popular with Germans in recent years; the smoking rate has more than halved since 1980. Instead, the trend is toward greater health awareness: light and healthy food, natural supplements and gentle medicine. This trend can be observed worldwide and is continuing successively without any dependence on the economic situation. Because one thing is clear: people are saving money on their health last. Ideal conditions to now look at the securities of the following three companies.

K+S, Desert Gold Ventures, Encavis - Buy before others do!
"The profit is in the purchase." Or so says an old merchant's rule. There are a few more facets to it in stock investments like time horizon and performance. A long-term oriented, perhaps also anti-cyclically thinking investor does not get gray hairs if it takes longer for his investment idea to work out. In contrast, timing plays a vital role for traders or short-term oriented investors. For institutional investors, the question of where their performance lies in comparison to the benchmark is often decisive. We introduce you to three exciting companies that are currently on the move. Where is the greatest potential lurking?
