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%!

    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!

    556 Drones in One Night: Why the World Needs Volatus Aerospace

    In a single night, Ukraine launched more than 550 drones into Russian territory. This marks the heaviest attack on the Moscow region since the beginning of the war. In the Middle East, a drone strikes a nuclear power plant in the UAE, Saudi Arabia intercepts unmanned aerial vehicles over its airspace, and Latvia nearly plunges into a government crisis due to inadequate drone defence. The message is therefore unmistakable: drones have fundamentally changed the global order—and likely permanently so. In this shifted geopolitical landscape, a Canadian company is quietly positioning itself as an increasingly relevant player in this fast-growing market. Volatus Aerospace combines military drone technology with civilian applications. The share price may be approaching a decisive technical turning point, and those who are not paying attention now may risk missing an important opportunity.

    BUY RECOMMENDATIONS for RENK and Desert Gold! SHOCK for Evotec!

    While gold prices are weakening, Desert Gold shares are in a clear uptrend. And if analysts are to be believed, a tenfold increase is possible. Desert Gold is set to become a gold producer in just a few months and generate strong cash flows. And it does not matter whether gold is trading at USD 4,000 or USD 6,000 per ounce. RENK stock has been upgraded to "Buy." Not because the future outlook has improved, but because the price has plummeted. This means the valuation now offers upside potential again. The growth prospects are quite positive. Meanwhile, analysts have recently noted a lack of growth prospects at Evotec. For many, "Project Horizon" focuses too heavily on cost reduction. But growth is precisely what is expected from a biotech company. And now, the restructuring costs are also to be financed through a convertible bond.

    Lahontan Gold: Profit-Taking Creates A New Opportunity!

    The stable gold price and the current easing of tensions in the Gulf conflict are supporting many resource stocks. However, for investors who do not want to rely too heavily on the gold price, it is important to focus on companies that are in a growth phase. This is exactly the case with Lahontan Gold. The Canadian company is developing the Santa Fe project, a historic gold mine in Nevada's famous Walker Lane Trend. The goal is to build up production to up to 80,000 ounces of gold per year. Following the stock's initial sharp rise, an interesting technical situation has now emerged. Traders appear to have exited the stock, leaving room for serious investors looking to get in for the medium- to long-term.
