Apple, Scottie Resources, Tesla - where do investments make sense now?

The shares of the largest companies in the world promise high liquidity. Companies with technologies are the focus of investors - especially among the younger generation. So it is hardly surprising that the measures taken by the central banks are leading to a flight from money to shares in companies. Company shares that are very tradable and backed by dividends or profits can be more valuable in the end than the bond of a heavily debt-driven state or its paper money, which could be multiplied virtually endlessly. The situation in the commodities sector is becoming increasingly exciting, as physical gold is in greater demand than ever before, but most investors are not yet focusing on this sector.

    Battery cars are part of the problem

    Elon Musk is celebrated at the stock markets. You can't really explain it. Where would the company stand today without environmental bonuses and subsidies? In Berlin the creation of jobs and the settlement of further companies is hailed by the new Tesla plant, while elsewhere the lights go out. The battery as an energy storage device is controversial and the energy mix in Germany is not designed for electric mobility.

    In June 2020, the Institute for World Economy published a study that shows the increase in CO2 emissions for every additional electricity consumer. While a modern diesel is at 173 g CO2 per kilometer, a battery car emits 300 g CO2 per kilometer. In 2019, Tesla generated USD 780.06 per second in sales. Compared to the leader Volkswagen with 9,202.88 USD per second, this value is very low. It is doubtful whether an innovation that is only appealing with taxpayers' money can survive in the long run.

    Golden times have begun

    Anyone interested in the oldest currency in the world should take a look at the value added. Scottie Resources from Canada owns the former producing Scottie gold mine and other properties as well as the option to acquire claims adjacent to the Scottie gold mine property. In total, the exploration company owns 24,589 hectares of properties in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, one of the most productive mineralized areas in the world.

    Bradley Rourke, the company's CEO, recently issued a news release providing insight into the Company's development: "With our strong financial position, favourable market conditions and abundance of drill targets, we have decided to increase the metres drilled this summer. The addition of a second drill rig allows us to test new prospective zones and improve the cost efficiency of drilling additional metres given that all the infrastructure and personnel are already in place."

    The company has now added a second drill rig to its Scottie Gold Project, which will increase the number of holes drilled by 40%, an additional 2,000 metres for the drilling program. A total of 7,000 metres of drilling is now targeted for the 2020 summer season. The current drill program will follow up on the successful work of the 2019 season when intercepts of 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 m at the Blueberry Vein, 11.72 g/t gold over 10.95 m at the past producing Scottie Gold Mine, and 73.32 g/t gold over 4.38 m at the Bend Vein were discovered.

    The air is getting thinner

    While Scottie Resources' investors are likely to see a higher share price if the drilling program continues to be successful, Apple's investors should slowly be aware that the trees can no longer grow to the sky. It remains to be seen what impact the global economic downturn will have on consumer behavior. After all, Apple devices are expensive and high-quality premium products and some customers might be tiring out their lifespan in times of the Corona pandemic - and forego buying a new one.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    Do Not Miss Gold's Next Rally: Why Newmont, Desert Gold and Agnico Eagle Deserve a Closer Look

    Investors are watching the yellow precious metal closely; its price has recently come under pressure but has stabilized above USD 4,000. The fundamental conditions for further price increases remain intact. Central banks continue to prefer buying gold over the US dollar; geopolitical turmoil is driving demand for safe-haven assets; and the prospect of falling key interest rates is traditionally good for gold prices. At the same time, robust physical demand coupled with stagnant production is leading to a supply shortage. This environment is fostering positive sentiment, particularly among producers. A look at the current situation at Newmont, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle reveals which companies could benefit most from this tailwind.

    The transition to clean electricity is not failing for lack of will, but because of the enormous practical hurdles. While the rise of artificial intelligence is fueling demand for green energy, existing power grids worldwide are reaching their limits. At the same time, smaller project developers in this niche are grappling with financing and regulatory issues, while industrial conglomerates are required to disclose their carbon footprints with ever-greater transparency. Investors looking to capitalize on this complex situation must understand the various players and the challenges they face. We provide an overview and introduce a little-known hidden gem.
