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.

    Valuation anomaly in the drone sector: Solid returns with Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and DroneShield

    The global security architecture has been facing a turning point since well before the outbreak of the conflict involving Iran. Developments on NATO's eastern flank show that the dominance of heavy weapon systems is increasingly being challenged by low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicles. In this new reality, a drone costing USD 500 can destroy a battle tank worth USD 10 million. This development is forcing the defense industry to rethink its approach. Conventional air defense systems are often overwhelmed by the sheer number and low radar signature of enemy drones. Innovative solutions are needed to detect, assess, and neutralize threats. So-called interceptor drones for the targeted neutralization of hostile aerial targets are becoming the focus of attention for the military and procurement authorities. Hensoldt, DroneShield, and Volatus Aerospace have positioned themselves as innovative solution providers in this highly specialized niche. We show where the most attractive opportunities lie for investors and pay particular attention to an up-and-coming company from Canada.

    Africa's hardest currency: New perspectives from Barrick Mining, Compass Gold, and Desert Gold

    A noticeable shift is currently taking place in African mining, as mineral resources are increasingly being viewed as the continent's hardest currency. This trend was highlighted at the African Mining Indaba in Cape Town in February, where the concept of a "Bank of African Settlements" was discussed. The stated goal of this initiative is to establish mineral resources as bankable assets to reduce dependence on volatile fiat currencies such as the US dollar. For many African nations, this is a direct response to the harsh reality that some local currencies have depreciated by as much as 900% against the US dollar over the past two decades. At the same time, market data supports this trend, with foreign central banks' gold reserves exceeding their holdings of US government bonds for the first time since 1996. Combined with growing efforts toward political self-determination and the expansion of reliable infrastructure, this shift is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. In this environment, industry heavyweight Barrick Mining is consolidating its industrial base in Mali, while emerging explorers such as Compass Gold and Desert Gold are actively searching for new deposits.

    Gold market heats up: Newmont, Lahontan Gold, and Agnico Eagle in the spotlight

    The gold market is experiencing a historic shift in 2026. While geopolitical crises and a weakening dollar are driving the price above USD 5,300, central banks are massively increasing their reserves. This combination of global uncertainty and strategic demand is giving the precious metal new momentum. At the same time, central banks are signaling further interest rate cuts, which is giving gold an additional boost as an asset class. In this environment, producers are coming into focus, led by industry leader Newmont, promising explorer Lahontan Gold, which is on its way to production, and stable producer Agnico Eagle.
