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.

    Gold Mining Stocks: Time to Buy? Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold in Focus

    Should you buy gold mining stocks now? Gold expert Markus Bußler sees the recent pullback as an attractive entry opportunity. After a rally of about 50%, the GDX mining ETF had fallen about 18% from its high. This has brought it back into the technical buy zone between approximately USD 84 and USD 88. At these levels, the expert believes the risk-reward ratio once again favours buying. A similar technical setup had already led him to a positive assessment in July. The market subsequently posted strong gains. The current negative sentiment therefore does not deter him. Stocks such as Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold could benefit from this development.

    Gold remains one of the big winners in the commodities markets. High prices not only boost producers' profits but also increase the value of undeveloped deposits. Deposits that previously received little attention can suddenly become economically attractive. Consequently, mining companies are once again investing heavily in exploration. In this context, it is increasingly important to identify companies that can expand their resources, discover new deposits, and bring additional ounces into production as cost-effectively as possible.

    thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources, Salzgitter – Steel Stocks That Could Benefit from the Industry's Transformation

    Europe's steel industry is currently transforming. Since July 1, the EU has been protecting its steel market with a duty-free quota of 18.345 million metric tonnes and a 50% tariff on all imports exceeding that amount. Starting October 1, importers must also provide proof of where they smelted and cast their steel. This gives manufacturers breathing room to replace blast furnaces with direct reduction plants. However, these plants require high-grade iron ore of the appropriate quality. For those who view steel, raw materials, and restructuring as a unified whole, the new situation could work in their favour. We are therefore taking a closer look at thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources and Salzgitter.
