In the morning the price of gold rose to over USD 1,770.00, its highest level since 2012, and continues to gain momentum; there is no end in sight. The big gold companies can already profit from the price increase since May 2019. Their margins have risen significantly and profits are developing in line with this. The share prices of the largest companies reflect what shareholders are already benefiting from: the flight of money into gold is in full swing. Gold is virtually the only independent currency in the world. There are now many opportunities to profit from it.

    Golden times have begun

    When Barrick Gold, Franco-Nevada or Yamana Gold have gold produced and sold by their projects or their related companies, they are currently generating more profit than in the past eight years. The demand for gold has been rising for months and is gaining further momentum with the actions taken to combat the effects of the Corona Pandemic. By increasing the money supply, citizens rightly fear that their money will be worth less as a result of inflation. This assumption is well-founded and is supported by the US banks. Goldman Sachs recently raised its target price for gold from USD 1,800.00 to USD 2,000.00 per troy ounce for the next 12 months. The Bank of America even believes that a gold price of up to USD 3,000.00 in 2021 is possible.

    Gold supply will decline

    On the occasion of the rising gold price it is therefore obvious that producers will try to increase their quantities in order to maximise profits now and today. On the other hand, the reserves of the largest producers have been steadily decreasing since 2012, with a decline of around 34%. It is expected that a historic peak production of around 118 million ounces will be reached in 2020, which from today's perspective will then, due to a lack of permits and reserves, drop by around 45% to around 62 million ounces per year by 2029. Two things become clear from this: 1. supply is diametrically opposed to demand, which should give the price increase a further boost and 2. sooner or later producers with a lot of money in their coffers will start to take over the smaller market participants in order to rebuild the reserves.

    Diversification with takeover candidates

    In addition to the well-known names from the gold sector, shares of smaller companies are an ideal addition to the portfolio, as they are predestined as takeover candidates and already have well-known investors on board. At SolGold (solgold.com.au), with a focus on gold and copper, BHP is already the largest investor with a foot in the door. At Triumph Gold (triumphgoldcorp.com), the giant Newmont already holds 18% and is thus the largest single shareholder. Billionaire Eric Sprott joined gold explorer Scottie Resources (scottieresources.com) at the beginning of the year and has since held a stake of around 10%. The Canadian raw materials expert Ross Beaty is involved in Desert Gold Ventures (desertgold.ca) and Osino Resources (osinoresources.com).

    In these smaller companies, investors have the advantage that when the price of gold rises, not only does the probability of a takeover increase, but the price per ounce in the ground also rises. With luck, the investors can multiply their investment.

    The energy transition is no longer just an ecological promise – it has become a return factor for savvy investors. Three companies are at the forefront of this development. The Nordex Group is driving the expansion of wind energy: With a new 94 MW order for Canada and wind turbines that can survive freezing winters thanks to an anti-icing system, the Hamburg-based company is demonstrating its position as a global player with over 57 GW of installed capacity. Globex Mining Enterprises of Québec acts as a kind of mineral bank for the energy future: Over 200 properties provide raw materials for batteries and technologies. With a recent buyback of gold royalties, CEO Jack Stoch is increasing the value of his company, much to the delight of shareholders. SFC Energy of Bavaria relies on innovation with fuel cells: The EFOY technology – "Energy for You" – supplies remote regions such as northern Canada with quiet, clean energy. A CAD 5 million order further underscores the success of the growing company. Sustainability and profit merge into a concept that inspires investors. Eco-friendly investing and generating returns – are these three stocks the key to the energy future?

    Germany is at a crossroads: With a planned debt surge of EUR 900 billion for infrastructure and defense, inflation, rising interest rates, and a possible loss of the top credit rating are looming. In this uncertain environment, investors seek protection – but where are the opportunities? Commerzbank offers traditional banking with interest, while Desert Gold is profiting from the precious metals boom. And then there is Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which aims to protect investors' money from devaluation with Bitcoin as "digital gold" while also profiting from increases in the cryptocurrency price. Three companies, three strategies: Which protects the portfolio better from the debt avalanche, and which stock has potential? An analysis between security, precious metals, and crypto risk.

    Gold price above USD 3,000! Stocks on the verge of a breakout! Barrick Gold, TUI, Benton Resources!

    Gold investors are cashing in! The gold price seems to be holding above the magic mark of USD 3,000. Now is the hour of gold producers and explorers! Even the Barrick Gold share is on the verge of a breakout. Management has made bullish statements about the future in the context of the annual figures. With its copper-gold project, Benton Resources is a "small" Barrick. The ongoing drilling program ensures continuous news flow. With its location in legally secure Canada, Benton is becoming more and more of a takeover candidate with each increase in resources, perhaps by Barrick? TUI shares could also be on the verge of a breakout. Due to the market sell-off, an important message seems to have been completely lost in the past few weeks. Buy now?
