Enapter, Nel, Linde - The hydrogen boom is far from over. Take the right action now!

  • Hydrogen

Energy supply and mobility are two crucial areas in our everyday life but also in the economy. Long misunderstood, hydrogen technology has finally moved into the spotlight, providing new answers to urgent questions. Hydrogen can be used universally, is easy to store, and can be converted back into electricity. But wherever there is potential and growth, there are occasional exaggerations. That is a normal course of events in the stock market world. We are convinced that the growth of the industry will continue sustainably and dynamically. We show you how to position yourself correctly now.

Lynas Rare Earths, Defense Metals, Arafura Resources - Rare Earths: still in time to get in before the boom!

  • Rare Earth Elements

China has dominated the rare earths market for a long time. A supply shortage in the People's Republic and a substantial increase in demand can lead to a massive price increase of the commodity group at any time. These price increases are then often reflected in the share price of relevant players. Rare earth metals are in demand in a wide range of industries and to close the emerging supply gap the production of rare earth metals must be increased outside of China. We present three opportunity stocks that will benefit from industry trends and scarcity prices as producers or prospective producers.

Steinhoff International, Blackrock Gold, Halo Labs - Watch out: Something is up with these penny stocks!

  • Gold

Stocks below the 1 dollar or euro mark, so-called penny stocks, are often sweepingly pigeonholed. Of course, there are some ailing companies or bankruptcy candidates among the penny stocks. When assessing the risk structure, it is also helpful to look at the nominal value. If this is only cents or fractions of cents anyway, then it is relatively "normal" that many companies are quoted in cents range. For investors and traders, however, the commitment in penny stocks has a decisive positive side effect. The mere fact that the share certificates are visually cheap makes them easier to buy, which increases trading volume and price movements. Thus, information that has not yet been adequately understood by the broad market and incorporated into the price is an excellent opportunity to make money. We present three penny stocks that should continue to gain in the near future.

Varta, Nevada Copper, Millennial Lithium - Electrified: you can still get in at a fair price!

  • Copper

The growth in the areas of electromobility, renewable energies and the multi-faceted technology industry is leading to a substantial increase in demand for raw materials. If expert forecasts are to be believed, demand will significantly exceed supply in the coming years, which can only lead to the conclusion that prices will continue to rise. Copper and lithium are good examples of this. Linked to the topic of energy are also the challenges regarding new storage media. We present three promising companies for which demand and growth play into the cards.

Sibanye-Stillwater, Desert Gold Ventures, Barrick Gold - Take advantage of the consolidation to enter quickly!

  • Gold

When the broad stock market is bullish and the prices of cryptocurrencies go through the roof, it is expected that crisis-proof investments stagnate or fall. Such has been the case with gold recently. But even if the bull market feeds the bull market, a stock market correction is inevitable. Corona and central bank policies' economic scars are too massive to be ignored in the long run. Profiteers from this new reality will undoubtedly be precious metals prices. Those who have fair quality shares of gold producers or gold explorers in their portfolio will outperform the gold price. We present three promising players, where an engagement in the current gold price consolidation will pay off.

Riot Blockchain, Upco International, Microsoft - Game changer Blockchain - more than just Bitcoin!

  • Blockchain

Blockchain is more than just Bitcoin. This cryptographic chaining process in a decentralized "accounting system" forms the technological basis for the cryptocurrency and allows for other diverse applications. Profound upheavals are on the horizon in many areas of the economy, with currencies, payment services and assets just a few examples. A vast field of application is blockchain-based contracts, so-called smart contracts stored in a programming language. In general, blockchain offers the advantages of tamper-resistance and lower transaction costs, among others. But the technology also comes up against limitations with some adverse side effects such as low efficiency and high energy consumption. Blockchain is not a cure-all, but the market for a wide variety of areas is enormous and enables providers to grow dynamically, sometimes exponentially, in the long term. We introduce you to three profiteers of the blockchain growth trend.

Delivery Hero, GS Holdings, Adler Modemärkte - Corona factor: take profits or buy courageously?

  • Investments

The list of companies benefiting from the Corona pandemic is long. The longer list is that of the companies that have suffered massively, right up to companies deprived of their livelihood. The decisive factor is whether companies can adapt flexibly to general conditions and whether they are financially strong enough to ride out the wave. Regardless of whether they are high flyers or bankrupt vultures, stock market prices do not always reflect a company's appropriate value. If the discrepancy between value and price is too large, it is worthwhile to enter into corresponding trading positions or investments. We present you with three attractive opportunities.

CureVac, Q&M Dental, Moderna - What you didn't know - really exciting!

  • Healthcare

The World Health Organization (WHO) recorded more than 235 Covid-19 vaccine projects worldwide since January 2020, but few projects make it across the finish line. Timing is a critical factor, and early entrants will divide the huge market among themselves. These include BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca. Still in the "test phase" is Tübingen-based CureVac, which recently entered into a sales cooperation with Bayer. Information published yesterday is positive and suggests approval of the preparation by the beginning of the second quarter of 2021 at the latest. Away from vaccine manufacturers, other Corona profiteers exist with which investors can earn handsomely. Q&M Dental from Singapore is little known. Its subsidiary is one of nine government-approved Corona testing facilities. Also, Q&M supplies Asian neighboring countries with millions of its Corona testing. We inform you about the news and potentials of known and unknown players.

Bitcoin Group, BIGG Digital Assets, Square Inc.- incredible potential!

  • Blockchain

The market penetration of cryptocurrencies and the tokenization of crypto assets are still at an early stage. The benefits of blockchain-based transactions are clear. Bitcoin marked an all-time high last week at USD 41,000, quintupling in 12 months. Professional investors are becoming increasingly interested in the crypto asset class. Ultimately, the triumph of crypto depends on regulators and general acceptance. However, the multi-faceted Group of payment service providers or specialized (software) solution providers are also interesting for investors. After all, these are cutting themselves an ever-larger slice of PayPal's colossal pie. We introduce you to promising companies, some of which are still relatively unknown, that have huge upside potential.

Lang & Schwarz, wallstreet:online, Commerzbank - Explosive Growth: License to Print Money

  • Brokerage

Many securities trading banks and brokers completed the best year in their corporate history in 2020. Profits and share prices multiplied. There is no end in sight to the trend. The stock market climate is robust and positive, and we are seeing historically high trading activity. Several providers offer securities trading free of charge or at extremely low conditions, and new investors are also flocking to the market. Therefore, it is worth taking a look at the shares of Lang & Schwarz AG. The Company operates the third-largest trading venue for private investors in Germany. Also, little is known about the growth story of Smartbroker, which belongs to the largest publisher-independent financial portal operator wallstreet:online. With Commerzbank, we take a closer look at a potential turnaround candidate in 2021. The last shares in Comdirect were acquired at the end of 2020, and further far-reaching restructuring measures are pending. Which share price will double first in 2021?
