The Corona Pandemic has changed a lot and brought things to light that were previously unimaginable. In connection with the curfews, most people only spent money on the most necessary purchases. As a result of this restriction, large parts of the economy came to a standstill. To bridge the problems, governments and central banks stepped in to alleviate the effects and consequences for citizens. The package of measures to stimulate the economy around the world is now estimated to be four times greater than was needed during the financial crisis in 2008 - a process with consequences. Following the financial crisis, the price of gold rose from less than USD 800.00 to over USD 1,900.00 per troy ounce. A preview of what is now to follow.

    "[...] We have built one of the largest land packages of any non-producer in the belt at over 440 sq.km and have made more than 25 gold discoveries on the property to date with 5 of these discoveries totaling about 1.1 million ounces of gold resources.

    Gold company stocks

    The ownership of physical gold in the form of bars and coins gives a feeling of security. It's something you can touch and store at home. But who really wants to store their assets without interest or dividends, but with a security risk in their own private home? An alternative would be shares in companies from the gold industry. The shares of these companies are usually managed like all other shares as special assets through a bank or broker. If one of these managers or institutions should experience difficulties, the shares can simply be transferred.

    Producers with dividends

    Stocks of gold companies that pay dividends from current production and have gold reserves are again popular with investors. Confidence in paper currencies is declining simultaneously with the increasing volume. Purchasing power is falling and inflation is rising. The European Union with its economic disparities is facing a test of strength. Whether the euro of today will continue to exist in this constellation can now be seriously doubted. When it will tear the euro apart is an open question. It is not desirable, but when it comes, people and their wealth should be prepared for it.

    Diversification around the globe

    Ideally, a portfolio should include several shares of gold companies. Diversification should therefore not end with a company from the precious metals industry, because different areas of value creation and regions around the globe have different risk/reward ratios. Well-known gold producers include Agnico Eagle Mines, B2Gold, Barrick Gold, Kinross and Yamana. These companies are already worth several billion USD and the share price usually correlates with the gold price, as the profit margin depends on the sales proceeds.

    Exploration has upside potential

    Besides gold production, there is also the area of development and exploration. The exploration sector has a high risk/reward ratio. This is where a possible success story begins or ends. Companies that are positioned in this area and have already made discoveries include Desert Gold Ventures, Osino Resources, Scottie Resources and Triumph Gold. Investors in these companies are looking for a takeover by a producer. This usually requires larger quantities of mineable gold deposits.

    Selection of Explorers

    Desert Gold Ventures has projects in Mali, in the West of Africa. With a share price of CAD 0.15 the company is valued at CAD 16 million. Osino Resources is developing into a takeover candidate with its discoveries in Namibia. With a share price of 0.98 CAD, the market value is 84 million CAD.

    Scottie Resources focuses on its areas in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia - in the western part of Canada. Scottie Resources' market value is currently CAD 22 million at a price of CAD 0.215 per share. Further north in the Canadian Yukon, Triumph Gold is exploring the company's own projects in order to further expand the discoveries made to date. The market value of Triumph Gold is currently CAD 26 million at a share price of CAD 0.24.

    What matters

    Crucial to the success of exploration companies is the quality of management and their ability to raise the necessary capital. In addition, the projects are crucial for success. It can be advantageous if the exploration companies are located with their projects close to companies that are already producing. These producers may have to replace depleted reserves with new acquisitions, in which case a takeover of a promising explorer in the region may be an option.

    SHAKE-UP at Gerresheimer! BUYING OPPORTUNITY at TKMS and Kobo Resources!

    Gold and defense stocks continued their recent pause last week, creating potential opportunities. At TKMS, an insider is buying, and analysts see 25% upside potential. Further gains could be on the horizon, as developments in Canada are promising. Kobo Resources continues to impress with its drilling results. Gold discoveries near surface and at depth provide new arguments for a potential takeover. Perhaps as early as next year? A prospective buyer is already mining gold in the neighborhood. Gerresheimer's stock cannot seem to find stability. Then last week came the major shake-up: the CEO is stepping down, and a familiar face is taking over. How will the stock react?

    Commodity-based investments without the boredom: Globex Mining, Royal Gold, Mercedes-Benz

    The agreement in the trade dispute between the US and China is increasingly being seen for what it is – a temporary pause in escalation. The fact that negotiations are set to resume after a year and that China is only lifting the most recent trade restrictions shows that the era of globalization will not return. Going forward, China and the US will continue to monitor each other closely and try to secure the best deal for themselves. This carries the potential for further escalation. One collateral damage is already evident in the automotive industry. Here is why there are currently many arguments in favor of crisis-driven investments in the commodities sector.

    Barrick Mining and Formation Metals shine – While Commerzbank now faces other concerns

    The current gold boom is being fueled by a powerful driver: falling interest rates. In this environment, interest-bearing investments are losing their appeal, while the protective nature of metal shines. Driven by macroeconomic upheavals, investors are fleeing to the safe haven of gold. This boom is catapulting mining companies like Barrick Mining and exploration companies such as Formation Metals into the spotlight. The situation is quite different for institutions like Commerzbank: for them, the same interest rate cuts mean margin pressure, exacerbated by political risks in Europe and takeover speculation. An analysis of two contrasting worlds.
