In recent months, central banks and politicians around the world have taken hand in hand actions to preserve the economy and social peace, despite restrictions to curb the spread of the Corona Pandemic. The money supply has been increased and travel opportunities have been restricted. The planned holidays were cancelled and jobs were moved to the home. Luxury was almost impossible to think of and nothing remained as it once was. What options do investors now have to deal with this situation?

    Majestic luxury cars

    Aston Martin Lagonda is a British luxury car group with two brands and can look back on more than 100 years of experience. During the Corona Crisis, the British company had to increase its equity capital by issuing new ordinary shares in order to use the additional funds to compensate for the slump in sales. The Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll is one of Aston Martin's major shareholders.

    The shares of the manufacturer of the legendary James Bond car lost significant value during the Corona period. Aston Martin now wants to survive the crisis through cost-cutting and restructuring. The management has high hopes for the introduction of a new off-road vehicle called "DBX". However, industry experts criticise that the company is jumping on the trend much too late. Porsche, Bentley and other competitors have been profiting from the lucrative SUVs for quite some time.

    A promising strategy

    SolGold is a successful exploration company focused on the discovery and definition of very large copper and gold deposits. The company has a first-mover advantage in Ecuador, in a very promising but little explored section of the Andean Copper Belt, which hosts several large copper and gold projects. The deposits probably host half of the world's copper resources.

    From an investor's perspective, for projects of the magnitude of SolGold, it is important to remember that the right team with sufficient experience is particularly important to be successful in implementing a strategy. With copper and gold, the company focuses on commodities that can serve a booming market. The electrification of modern society requires huge amounts of copper and as the money supply increases, more and more people are fleeing with their wealth into the oldest currency in the world. With gold production expected to reach its historic peak in 2020, these are good conditions for SolGold and its shareholders.

    A reliable travel partner even in bad times

    The TUI Group is one of the world leaders in the tourism industry. As a responsible company, TUI is not only affected by global travel restrictions during the Corona Pandemic, but has also brought back stranded tourists from all parts of the world or looked after them. A nightmare from a business perspective. Not only did the revenues collapse, but money had to be spent to cope with the situation.

    No company can survive permanently without turnover and with considerable costs. For this reason, TUI, which got into the situation through no fault of its own, has also received financial support from the German government. In the EU, more and more travel is now becoming possible and also on a national level, the travel business is booming due to a lack of alternatives. However, before TUI can return to its former strength, the worldwide travel restrictions must fall.

    There are historical criminal cases that were never truly solved. One such "cold case" is the Santa Fe Gold Mine in Nevada. For three decades, the case file lay forgotten on a shelf: too old, too small, too uninteresting—until the geological detective duo Kimberly Ann and Brian Maher of Lahontan Gold retrieved the dusty drill cores from the evidence room to reexamine the evidence. The result of their investigation: millions of ounces of gold equivalent await discovery. The Santa Fe file is currently being rewritten—and those who start reading it early enough could be among the winners.

    The Simple Path to Inflation-Protected Cash Flows: Why JPMorgan Chase and Altius Minerals Are Eyeing Globex Mining

    Persistent geopolitical uncertainty, rising inflation, and tighter lending standards by commercial banks mean that even the mining sector is no longer operating under ideal conditions. Since missing production targets can trigger significant share price declines, major commodity companies are constantly searching for new deposits. At the same time, rising development costs are making mine operations more expensive, while the US Federal Reserve is adopting a more restrictive stance in light of inflation data. In this market environment, the royalty and streaming model is gaining importance because gross revenue royalties can provide inflation-protected cash flows without direct operational risks. We present a potential beneficiary of this trend and explain how the model works.

    The recent geopolitical easing in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through the energy markets, with welcome spillover effects for the gold mining industry. Falling oil prices are lowering mining companies' production costs and boosting profit margins even before the price of gold itself reacts. While the markets are still digesting the relief brought by the peace, the fundamental conditions for the industry are noticeably improving. We take a closer look at industry leader Barrick Mining, DRC Gold as a growth story in the African Gold Belt, and Agnico Eagle with its robust asset portfolio.
