The world is entering a new geopolitical era: armament and defense production have top priority. Countries are effectively investing unlimited sums into their defense industries, which means gigantic opportunities for investors! Those who are positioned correctly now can benefit from price increases that are rarely seen, even in the most dynamic tech sectors. One example? The stock of Steyr Motors AG: Just a month ago, it was still available for EUR 14.80. This morning, it exploded on Tradegate to up to EUR 426.00 – an incredible price increase of 2,778%!

    Full interview

     

    The sleeping giant: Almonty Industries set for a price explosion?

    In addition to traditional defense stocks such as Rheinmetall, whose shares doubled in just three months and recently traded at around EUR 1,400, raw material suppliers are now moving into the spotlight. This is where Almonty Industries comes in – a company considered one of the most important producers of the strategic metal tungsten. On Xetra alone, the stock has already seen a daily gain of 16.6% to EUR 1.206. But the day is still young, and it could just be the beginning.

    Why? Because tungsten is indispensable for armor and ammunition! Currently, around 90% of the global supply comes from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. This creates a dangerous dependency for Western defense nations. This is precisely where Almonty Industries comes in: In the coming months, the Company will commission the largest tungsten mine outside of these four countries in South Korea – a potential game changer for Western defense strategy and a golden opportunity for investors.

    Takeover speculation: Almonty as a coveted target?

    CEO Lewis Black has already hinted that Almonty may not remain independent for much longer. This is not surprising, given that the Company's expected market share of 30% outside the dominant countries makes it a strategic option for Western players. Sphene Capital analyst Peter Thilo Hasler sees Almonty as a strong investment, and on February 3, 2025, he raised his target price from CAD 3.21 to CAD 5.20. Given yesterday's closing price of CAD 1.59, this represents a potential price increase of 225%!

    Momentum is pickup up: Act before the mass market strikes!

    The explosive price development of Steyr Motors shows how quickly trends can develop. As soon as Almonty Industries comes to the attention of the general public, the momentum could accelerate dramatically. The rising tungsten price due to Chinese export restrictions further enhances this effect.


    Conclusion: Those who position themselves correctly now can benefit from the geopolitical turning point!

    Investors who position themselves strategically can benefit massively from current developments. The defense industry and its raw material suppliers are the new winners of this era. Almonty Industries is a company that is positioning itself as a future key player – and could ignite the next big return boost for investors. Those who want to be part of it must act now!

    Defense in a stranglehold: Why Lockheed and Boeing are grounded without antimony - and Antimony Resources holds the strategic solution

    • Mining
    • antimony
    • Defense
    • aerospace
    • CriticalMetals

    It is a chemical element with the atomic number 51 that has long led a shadowy existence on the world's stock exchanges, but whose strategic importance is now keeping security policymakers at the Pentagon awake at night: antimony. What sounds like a footnote in the periodic table is, in reality, the invisible glue holding together the modern defense and aviation industries. But this glue is becoming scarce. China, which dominates the global market with a share of more than 50% in production and nearly 80% in processing capacity, has begun to tighten the reins on exports. Trade barriers and opaque export restrictions are fueling real fears of a supply stoppage. In this high-risk geopolitical scenario, giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing are finding themselves in a bind, while small Western explorers such as Antimony Resources are suddenly becoming owners of assets that could prove indispensable to the national security of NATO countries.

    ATTENTION - The next 100% opportunity could be here: Almonty, RENK, TKMS, and Infineon

    • AI
    • hightech

    Shares related to artificial intelligence continue to be a major focus in the market, even though the initial euphoria has subsided somewhat recently. Critical voices are increasingly warning of setbacks or even a significant correction. Among these skeptics is the well-known investor Michael Burry, who is said to have bet on falling prices for Nvidia and other industry peers. At the same time, shares linked to critical metals and their industrial end users have once again moved into the spotlight since the turn of the year. This is because tech specialists and AI infrastructure providers are under pressure to meet extremely high requirements in terms of energy supply, computing capacity, speed, and reliability. As a result, further opportunities are emerging for selected stocks. We highlight a few of these potential plays.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.
