• Oil

• Value

At year-end 2020, we featured an interview on this platform with Saturn Oil & Gas CEO John Jeffrey. The Company's leader let us in on his plans, announcing an acquisition and recently successfully executing on it. The acquisition of the Oxbow project in southeastern Saskatchewan will give the Company a daily production rate of about 7,000 barrels per day. Due to hedging transactions in the oil price, the Company can already look forward to profitability in 2022, which is higher than the current stock market value. Saturn Oil & Gas is, without doubt, one of the success stories of recent months and has enormous upside potential. We welcome the latest insights from John Jeffrey.

Nokia, Pollux Properties, AMC Entertainment, B-A-L Germany: Long or Short?

• Investments

What a week it was! Stock market history was effectively rewritten. Crowds of investors banded together on social media channels and declared war on the established Wall Street Gurus. The chase of the little guys against the big guys started with some stocks on the NYSE. These stocks had poor numbers due to the Covid-19 pandemic and therefore tended to trade on the short side with hedge funds. That called out the Robinhood community. They buy the shares at any price, forcing the big players in parallel to overpriced, even panic-stricken buying. The result: A stock like GameStop gained around 1,600% in one month. Shares that were quoted at an average of USD 15 in December are now only available beyond USD 300.

Daimler, dynaCERT, Tesla, Volkswagen - state-subsidized share gains

• Investments

The German energy transition and the change in mobility can be summarized in one sentence: maximum effort for minimum success. While the impact of the German population on global environmental responsibilities is marginal, the financial burden is enormous. The introduction of battery cars has already failed and is now only getting off the ground thanks to unprecedentedly high premiums on a new purchase. The original selling point that battery cars are better for the environment has failed miserably. The federal government is now engaging in damage control and appealing to subsidy hunters. On top of that, the acquisition is now sweetened with a state-subsidized charging station. Speculators are rubbing their hands.
