Grenke, wallstreet:online, flatexDEGIRO - Multibagger: The incredible development continues!?
Multibaggers are stocks that have multiplied in value. Peter Lynch, the former star fund manager, coined the term tenbagger. This term refers to shares that have increased tenfold in value. The idea is not pure speculation, but to find growth companies and participate in their successes over the long term. The list of success stories is long but also just as varied. If you look at the top performers' rankings of the last decades, some even disappear from the rankings because they (temporarily) crashed or were overtaken. We present three companies below. The first still belongs to the multibagger category but is currently going through hard times. Despite their brilliant share price performance, the other two companies are growth stories that invite you to buy.

Steinhoff, Osino Resources, Sibanye Stillwater- Bargain hunters beware!
When is a stock cheap? The obvious criterion of a low stock price can sometimes be misleading. For value investors, a stock is cheap when the stock price and intrinsic value are too far apart. Still, other investors "buy" the trend and bet that the movement will continue when the price rises. All approaches have one thing in common: the profit lies in the purchase. We will make you winners!

Royal Helium, Siemens Healthineers, Eckert & Ziegler - Is helium coming after hydrogen?
Hydrogen as an investment topic is on everyone's lips. No other chemical element has such a large occurrence in the universe (outside the earth's crust). But it could also be lucrative to look at the second most abundant element in the universe: helium. Helium has the lowest melting and boiling points of all elements. It is used in low-temperature technology, especially as a coolant for superconducting magnets, e.g., medical technology for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) equipment. We present investment ideas associated with helium, ranging from the noble gas extraction to its use in certain products. Which stock has the most potential?
