The traffic at rush hours is increasing again significantly and also at the gas stations you are queuing up again to pay. Normality is slowly returning, with caution, but it is noticeable. Many things will change, but some things will not. For investors, the most interesting question is, where can I invest now for the new future? It is important that the company's business model is scalable and that the management has already achieved success. Even during the Corona pandemic, a lot happened in the executive floors and many important announcements may not have received adequate attention from the market so far. Ballard Power, dynaCERT and Saturn Oil & Gas have several things in common that are important for a better future.

    A modern society needs oil

    Saturn Oil & Gas is a successful young oil producer for whom environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives are important. Oil from Canada will become increasingly important in the future, as environmental protection and human rights are very important in this North American country. This particularity is of relevance compared to other oil-producing countries.

    During the Corona pandemic, the management of Saturn Oil & Gas released two important announcements, which are probably also the reason why the share price has already returned to its January 2020 level. First, the company has hedged the price of oil for much of its output at over CAD 65.00 per barrel and there has also been a change on the Board of Directors which is extremely exciting for an oil producer.

    dynaCERT makes diesel green

    In mid-March 2020, as the panic of the Corona pandemic reached its peak, Saturn Oil & Gas announced that Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT, a Canadian company specializing in providing technologies to reduce CO2 emissions in the global market, was appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr. Payne has more than 38 years of experience in strategic management positions with public and private companies.

    Innovation for the environment

    With dynaCERT's commitment to developing innovative solutions for a low carbon economy, Mr. Payne and his team are promoting positive impacts on climate change with their patented, proprietary, commercial HydraGEN (TM) technology. Saturn believes this technology will be critical in driving the company's ESG initiatives, the announcement states.

    Reduction of CO2 emissions

    "We are delighted to welcome Jim to our board of directors during this very exciting time for Saturn,” commented John Jeffrey, Saturn’s CEO. “As we continue to implement strategies underpinning our ESG commitment, having Jim on board will be key as we navigate the responsible development of our resources. We look forward to leveraging his experience and global focus to help companies, including Saturn, reduce their carbon footprint."

    Win-win situation for companies

    Mr. Payne stated, “dynaCERT is very pleased to count Saturn and its management as one of its many important junior oil & gas sponsors in Canada, especially at a time when the significant imperatives of ESG are a major focus for governments, consumers and investors. I am looking forward to supporting Saturn and its CEO, John Jeffrey, in fostering the Company as a responsible citizen in the global carbon reduction community, side-by-side with the professional international dynaCERT team.”

    Focus on protecting the environment

    The shares of dynaCERT and Ballard Power have also picked up speed again in the past weeks, because hydrogen is also a topic of the future. While dynaCERT uses the energy carrier as a catalyst in diesel engines, Ballard equips vehicles of all kinds with fuel cells and uses hydrogen as a fuel. The market value of Ballard yesterday was CAD 3.4 billion, dynaCERT was valued at CAD 293 million and Saturn Oil & Gas closed with a market capitalization of CAD 36 million - and is still 50% below the value from October 2018, a huge potential for the new future.

    Volatility is increasing – and not just on the capital markets. Geopolitically, and even in German domestic politics, which is actually relatively calm by international standards, completely new developments are suddenly conceivable. When the range of possibilities expands so dramatically on many levels, uncertainty grows. Ten years ago, the US withdrawal from NATO would have been a gradual process, but today, Trump and his ministers are making their intentions abundantly clear. Investors should protect themselves against these new eventualities and consider gold as an investment.

    Long-term megatrends instead of short-lived hopes for peace: The stable foundation of Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and RENK Group

    The recent nervousness on the markets is far removed from strategic reality. While short-term hopes for peace are temporarily weighing on defense stocks, long-term geopolitical risks and the pent-up demand of European armed forces are driving up the order books of key suppliers and system providers. At the same time, demand for critical raw materials, advanced technologies, and modern military drivetrain solutions remains robust, independent of the political headlines. This fundamental strength is particularly evident across the value chain, from the strategic metal tungsten to ammunition production and high-performance drive systems for military vehicles. Three companies that embody this continuity are Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and the RENK Group.

    The way we invest our assets is facing its biggest revolution in decades. Tokenization is transforming previously illiquid assets such as real estate into tradable digital fragments. This megatrend is opening doors for private investors to markets that were previously reserved for institutional players. While asset giants like BlackRock are heralding a new era, regulators are emphasizing the need for clear rules. Three key players are navigating this tension between opportunity and risk: Commerzbank, an established financial pioneer; FINEXITY, a specialist in tokenized assets; and Coinbase, a leading crypto gateway.
