Perfect signals: Take advantage of setbacks at Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Steyr!
Geopolitical tensions are expected to lead to drastic increases in defense budgets in the future. Riding this wave, defense stocks remain popular investments. However, the wheels of government bureaucracy sometimes turn too slowly. This means that orders can be delayed, dampening companies' short-term forecasts – and disappointing the capital market. But since the "big picture" is positive, weaker prices represent good entry opportunities. Investors should not forget commodity producers, which are of great importance to the defense industry.

Silver boom continues unabated – Take advantage of setbacks at Silver North Resources, First Majestic, and SMA!
In light of geopolitical tensions and real purchasing power losses, precious metal prices are on the rise – and there is no end in sight. While gold is traditionally considered a "safe haven," silver has even more advantages, as it is also in high demand from industry. Around 10 to 15% of global silver production is demanded by the solar industry each year. Silver is indispensable because it is the best electrical conductor, thus maximizing power yield. Therefore, there are significant interdependencies between solar module manufacturers, as consumers of silver, and suppliers such as silver producers.

Takeover fever! LAURION Mineral Exploration, Evotec, and Mutares are tempting investors to get on board!
M&A – mergers and acquisitions - remain powerful performance drivers for shareholders of potential takeover targets. But companies that acquire others also benefit from increased growth, access to new markets and technologies, and cost synergies. According to a recent study by Bain & Company, the majority of M&A activity in the current year, amounting to around USD 265 billion, has taken place in the energy and commodities sectors. In healthcare and life sciences, deals with a volume of USD 107 billion were recorded. So who could the next takeover candidates be?

Playing megatrends with the right stocks – NEO Battery Materials, XPeng, BYD
"The trend is your friend" – this is a well-known stock market adage that advises investors to take advantage of a stock's upward trend and let profits run. For investors, it is often worthwhile to focus on so-called megatrends - sectors expected to achieve dynamic growth over the coming years or decades, thanks to sustained high demand, for example, in terms of technology or socio-demographics. Artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as everything related to the defense industry, are currently very popular. Equally exciting are the areas of electromobility and battery technology. China dominates the market, and this strong position is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. However, innovations from players outside China, such as those from NEO Battery Materials, are particularly exciting. The Canadian company is implementing innovative approaches and processes that could contribute to meaningful advancements in the global battery market.

The gold price is poised for its next leap – with Formation Metals, Barrick, and B2Gold outperforming!
The gold price is consolidating at a high level. Analysts expect the rally of the yellow metal to continue soon, as the overall conditions remain favorable. It is not only its classic role as a "safe haven" in times of geopolitical tensions, uncertainty, and inflation fears. The massive demand from central banks around the world is playing an increasingly decisive role. For years, central banks, especially those in emerging and developing countries, have been stockpiling their gold reserves on a historic scale. These are signs of growing mistrust in the stability of traditional reserve currencies, especially the US dollar, and a desire for diversification. With precious metals continuing their upward trend, gold stocks are high on the list of favorites. Away from the blue chips, there are exciting investment stories, such as Formation Metals, which have so far been overlooked by investors.

Totally underestimated! These are the secret winners of the AI and energy revolution: Power Metallic Mines, Aixtron, and Siemens Energy!
Forget most of the hyped stocks in the AI and tech space. The most significant gains in the current tech and energy transition boom come - not from the diggers, but from the suppliers - just like during the Gold Rush in the 19th century. While billions are being poured into the hunt for digital gold (artificial intelligence) and green gold (renewable energy), the (emerging) raw material producers, specialized machinery manufacturers, and infrastructure providers are the ones benefiting most. We show you the overlooked profiteers of the boom!

Insider knowledge drives share prices: What does Almonty CEO Lewis Black have planned next? Insider purchases at TKMS and Aixtron are causing a stir!
The recent summit meeting between the heads of state of the United States and China ended with a preliminary trade agreement that promises a period of relative stability over the next twelve months. However, the agreements appear to be more symbolic than substantial, with few concrete steps to ease the structural tensions in global trade. One thing is clear: the US and Europe are under pressure to act. Without a decisive strategy to expand alternative production sites and relocate strategic supply chains to Western regions, there is a threat of a geopolitical and economic meltdown in the long term.

Real purchasing power nightmare: How to hedge with gold investments like AJN Resources, Barrick, and Newmont!
Rising national debt, ballooning budget deficits, and central banks oscillating for years between fighting inflation and supporting economic growth have shaken confidence in the stability of global fiat currencies. The debt burden is growing faster than it can be offset by growth. For investors, this means a massive decline in real purchasing power - an irreversible process that could even accelerate in the future. The solution: investments in gold and gold stocks. The gold price rally is far from over. Who is ahead of the curve?
