Barrick Gold, Blackrock Gold, Berkshire Hathaway - is Warren Buffett always right?
Gold pays no interest and no dividends. The precious metal is in demand as a crisis currency and as an asset - for diversification and inflation protection. It can be assumed that with the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, there has also been a shift from gold to Bitcoin & Co. Physical demand is again coming from the jewelry industry. A rapid rise in the gold price, as seen last year, makes the profits of producers bubble and the prices of precious metal shares rise strongly across the board, especially in the explorer sector. The current consolidation of the gold price offers good entry opportunities because the next crisis is already on the doorstep.

Bayer, dynaCERT, JinkoSolar - green performance stars!
Sustainable investing has developed from a "nice to have" to a "must-have." Many empirical studies have also shown that investors who invest "green" do not have to forego returns. On the contrary, there are indications that a skillful weighting of ESG factors - these stand for Environment, Social, Governance - can improve the risk-return ratio. We show you three ESG stocks with which you will outperform in the truest sense of the word!

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Royal Dutch Shell - JP Morgan: Oil price rises to USD 190 due to supply deficit - these are the future price rockets!
Last spring in the middle of the Corona Crisis, when the oil price was at the bottom, the US investment bank JP Morgan published a bold forecast. Although this was ridiculed at first, it was to be given more attention in the future. The experts drew a plausible scenario of an upcoming "oil supercycle." The oversupplied oil markets would transition to a "fundamental supply deficit" starting in 2022, which would drive the oil price close to the USD 100 mark at that time. In the medium term, the investment bank's analysts even expect a price level of USD 190. If the forecasts are only half correct, then it is: buy, buy, buy. We present you 3 shares with huge potential!

We present three shares where the revaluation is underway and where there is still great potential.

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.

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.
