    How do you assess the global dependence of the technology industry on China and what opportunities does this present for Almonty Industries?

    'As China controls roughly 83% of the global tungsten supply, the world has felt much of the ongoing supply chain problems stemming from the country’s dominance in the technology industry. With tungsten being an integral raw material needed in the production of semiconductors, batteries, vibrators in phones, and even the electrical circuit boards for the screens in the phones, other countries, such as the U.S, have been heavily impacted by China’s recovering supply chain, in which demand and prices have increased.

    This comes after months of Chinese COVID-related disruptions, however, other tungsten miners outside of China, such as Almonty Industries, are seeing increased opportunities to diversify the supply by laying the groundwork for mines that will give manufacturers an alternative source of tungsten. For example, Almonty recently announced the reopening of its Sangdong Mine in South Korea, which gives hope that the tungsten stockpile will increase globally, breaking away from Chinese dependence.'

    70% with Evotec shares? Caution with BASF? Almonty Industries tempts investors to get in!

    Will BASF miss market expectations in the second half of the year? Analysts believe so. The chemical giant's revenues are already expected to fall in the second quarter. So, should one sell the shares now? The Evotec share was bought yesterday. Analysts believe that the profit warning from Sartorius should not be overestimated and see over 70% upside potential. However, patience is required. The Almonty Industries share also appears too favourable. The commissioning of a huge tungsten mine is imminent, and not only companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor and Rheinmetall need the critical metal for their high-tech products. So, when will the share break out?

    Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, RWE - Which energy belongs in the portfolio?

    • Energy

    The debate about the ideal energy source for the future focuses on hydrogen, oil, and renewable energies. Despite its controversial reputation, oil remains a significant energy source due to its high energy density and well-established infrastructure. Technological advances are also reducing the negative environmental impact. However, renewable energies and hydrogen also offer significant advantages, such as sustainability and low emissions. However, there is a lack of infrastructure to fully exploit the advantages of these technologies. We examine one candidate from each sector and where they stand today.

    Despite the super disaster with CrowdStrike, 100% returns are possible with TUI, Lufthansa, Prismo Metals and BayWa!

    The CrowdStrike outage shows us just how dependent the world has become on multinational corporations from America. Within hours, everything came to a standstill - nothing worked at airports, supermarkets, and banks, and some hospitals had to postpone operations. Does this make those responsible think about what urgently needs to be changed? In addition to a completely dependent situation in the IT sector, Europe, in particular, is in a pretty poor state regarding raw materials. Chancellor Scholz is looking for resources in Serbia, a country that would like to join the EU but is closer to the aggressor Vladimir Putin. Can Brussels overlook such facts and transfer billions more to Ukraine at the same time? Europe's needs are obviously manifold, and the most urgent need is likely to master the energy transition to prevent industry migration to more favourable jurisdictions. Investors are currently facing enormous challenges. We provide some ideas for a 100% portfolio.
