Energy: The bottleneck of the markets – how investors can benefit from American Atomics, Nordex, and Siemens Energy!
Energy is a key determinant of the competitiveness of economies and companies. Availability, price, and security of supply directly influence costs and, in turn, the prices of products and services. Renewable energy is important, but fluctuating power generation, the risk of dark doldrums, and the currently limited storage capacity pose significant challenges. Against this backdrop, uranium is experiencing a comeback as a reliable energy source. Many tech giants such as Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are already relying on nuclear power to meet the enormous energy demands of their data centers and AI infrastructures in a reliable and low-carbon way. American Atomics is considered a beneficiary of this trend. The company is pursuing the goal of establishing a fully integrated North American value chain, leveraging favorable political and structural tailwinds.

These investment specialists pay high dividends: RE Royalties, Mutares, DWS – Growth and dividends are not mutually exclusive!
Nowadays, anyone who talks too much about dividends can quickly be labeled "old-fashioned." Why settle for a 6 or 10% return when stock prices seem to be skyrocketing every day? But trees do not grow to the sky. Recently, investors were abruptly reminded of this by the sudden crash in gold and silver. While the masses often chase the next big thing, successful investors sometimes pursue very different strategies. Warren Buffett made a fortune with investments that others considered boring. The companies mentioned here pay high dividends - RE Royalties, even 13% p.a. - and continue to grow. Not exciting enough? Perhaps. But often, this is exactly how money is made in the long term.

Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation
All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.

2026 – The comeback of hydrogen stocks: Now it is substance that counts, not hype! The hidden potential of dynaCERT, Ballard Power, and VW
For years, hydrogen stocks were considered the promise of the future. The hype was followed by a hangover. Valuations have fallen sharply, and after a phase of exaggerated expectations, the focus is now shifting to robust business models and industrial scaling. dynaCERT stands out with its innovative bridge technology that meets high environmental standards. Its ready-to-use solutions for reducing emissions are convincing more and more customers from industry. As an established player, Ballard Power is driving the further development of fuel cells in heavy-duty transport. Volkswagen is taking a different approach. A few days ago, the automaker published key data for the past fiscal year, which came as a positive surprise.

These specialists continue to generate significant profits: Globex Mining, Barrick Mining, and Mutares!
Gold is approaching the USD 5,000 mark, while silver is trading at almost USD 100 per ounce. Given these bullish prices, precious metal producers such as Barrick are enjoying substantial profits. Business is also going well for specialized investment companies such as Mutares. The Munich-based company recently announced the largest purchase in its history. However, the transformative nature of this move has not yet been priced into the share price. Globex Mining offers an exciting mix of commodities and investment vehicles with a broadly diversified portfolio of 269 commodity assets. The stock holds significant revaluation potential.

Never change a winning team! This triumphant trio belongs in every portfolio: Almonty Industries, TKMS, and Rheinmetall
In the current year, the old favorites remain the new favorites: defense and commodities. Geopolitical tensions and rising defense budgets, as well as demand for critical commodities, are shaping the big picture. Reflecting these conditions, defense stocks and shares in raw materials producers should continue to rise. Almonty Industries stands out in particular. Rising tungsten prices provide significant leverage for Almonty Industries, currently the largest tungsten producer outside China. When will the next price surge come?
