Newmont, Triumph Gold, Yamana Gold - a new all-time high for gold as a turbo return!
If one believes Commerzbank analysts, the gold price will rise to USD 2,100 by the end of the year and mark a new all-time high. In particular, the too loose monetary policy of central banks and the growing indebtedness of industrialized countries can be cited as reasons. With gold producers and gold exploration companies' shares, investors profit strongly from the precious metal price's development. We present promising investments.

BP, Saturn Oil & Gas, OMV - Sector rotation for investment success in 2021!
Technology stocks were among the darlings of investors in 2020. However, in the meantime, company valuations in this sector have soared to dizzying heights reminiscent of the Neuer Markt boom.

Leading economic research institutes are forecasting global economic growth of over 4% in the new year. The oil price should also continue to rise, Goldman Sachs even sees upside potential of 30%. We show you which stocks will help you profit.

Glencore, Almonty, Aurubis - Scarcity drives share price
If you have listened to the old master of the stock market André Kostolany, then you have thought about aluminum in the past, and that's a good thing. If you bet on companies that focus on industrial metals or strategic metals, you should see a good performance next year. Rising demand in the wake of electromobility is driving up the price of copper. But so-called strategic metals, such as tungsten, are also used in various ways and are difficult to substitute. The availability of strategic metals is more limited than that of industrial metals. At times, there can be a large gap between supply and demand. Investors then profit from scarcity prices. We reveal where opportunities are tempting.

Lynas Rare Earths, Defense Metals, Energy Fuels - Rare Earths, Uranium & Co.
We encounter rare earths in many ways in everyday life in the form of smartphones, notebooks, LED lights and electric cars. However, the raw material is not earth, but metals. The total of 17 elements, which can additionally be categorized as light and heavy, are also not rare. However, the concentration in which they occur is low, and thus economic extraction is often tricky. China has the largest deposits worldwide. Many countries and industries are interested in discovering and producing rare earths outside of China to become less dependent on the market power of the People's Republic. Should supply and demand diverge too sharply, this could - as in the past - lead to drastic price increases at times and cause share prices to move sharply. We introduce you to three exciting commodity companies.
