Bayer, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Lufthansa - All the ingredients for a price fireworks display!
Information moves prices. Sometimes up, sometimes down, and sometimes information seems to "bounce off" - ignored or misinterpreted by market participants. It is easier said than done to correctly classify the information in relation to the long-term perspective of a company. Thus, as seen last week with Bayer and Deutsche Lufthansa, a short-term price dampener is a good opportunity to enter the market. But also, information that is complex in detail and must first be "understood", offers the chance to make a real bargain. Canadian oil and gas producer Saturn is a case in point. The Company is moving into new dimensions with an acquisition, and according to the latest analyst report, the stock has the potential to triple in value. Where will you buy?

Silkroad Nickel, NIO, Varta - Pre-programmed bottlenecks = price opportunities
Electromobility and battery technology are inextricably linked. Sales figures for e-vehicles are rising rapidly and will multiply in the next few years. This global increase in production will become challenging in many places. Not just with the competitive situation, which is becoming increasingly intense as Chinese players gain strength, but also the availability of the critical raw materials for battery production. There are signs of a huge supply deficit in nickel over the next few years. We show you how to invest with foresight and profitably.

Royal Helium, Royal Dutch Shell, Gazprom - These commodity stocks are stepping on the gas
Commodities are currently on everyone's lips again: energy transition, electromobility, medical progress. All of these require resources that, as always, have to be laboriously extracted or produced. Corona has made the situation even worse: people are currently feeling the pain of global production shortfalls. Semiconductor chips are currently in short supply, and copper prices are rising. What this means for the manufacturing industry and the end consumer, however, is reflected in the profits of the raw material producers. Time to take a closer look at them and profit from the development!

QMines, Leoni, Siemens Energy - Top picks for the energy turnaround
Surveys show that the majority of Germans believe the energy turnaround is necessary. Climate change is manifesting itself in increasingly extreme weather conditions: exceptional cold, extreme heat spells, massive flooding and ever more pronounced droughts are causing hardship for people around the world. Most experts agree that further aggravation of the problem can only be mitigated by limiting CO2 emissions. The companies that stand to benefit massively from this are those that provide the resources needed to do so. Below are three candidates with the 'through-the-roof' potential.

Aspermont, SAP, Square - "Digital transformation" megatrend as a snack for the portfolio!
Paper tigers are threatened with extinction, and the threat is called digitalization.

In the following, we present three companies that are all profiting from the megatrend. Here are the yield drivers for your portfolio.

Kinross Gold, SunMirror, Yamana Gold - Volatility is rising, now what?
Rules and exceptions. A well-known saying goes that there is no rule without exception. Looking at yesterday's stock market as a snapshot, one might conclude that "volatility is rising and everything else is falling." Right, or wrong? It is often just a matter of perspective and a snapshot in time. Long-term evidence is that precious metals stocks are a good investment idea during difficult stock market periods. We have brought several of them.

Steinhoff, Sierra Growth, Vantage Towers - Don't sell in May
Upwards. The shares of the companies mentioned should move in this direction, even in the short term. The wide-ranging menu of opportunities has something for every taste: the still little-noticed "infrastructure stock" Vantage Towers is one of Europe's leading radio mast operators, which analysts still believe has a lot to offer. The permanent restructuring case and penny-stock Steinhoff seems to have finally burst the knot. Speaking of bursting, with new project progress, the exploration Company Sierra Growth could take off virtually overnight.

Aurubis, Osino Resources, ThyssenKrupp - Winners of the digitalization, energy transition and e-mobility trends
The three trends mentioned have one thing in common: they need electricity. And wherever electrons do work, materials for transporting and storing electricity are in demand. Different materials are used depending on the application. Gold, for example, is mainly used in connectors, as is silver, but it is also found in numerous coatings, e.g., for seat heaters or in infotainment systems. Copper, on the other hand, is the material of choice for all cable connections, while materials such as lithium or cobalt are needed to store electricity or hydrogen in the future. The following companies are fully in line with the trend with their products and should not be missing in any portfolio.
