Germany in a state of shock! After the announcement of a second lockdown and a steadily increasing number of infections, the calls for a vaccine against coronavirus are getting louder and louder. The question is not when, but how quickly it will be available, especially for risk groups. Three Companies are currently heading for the home stretch. The first mover will not only get fame and recognition, but the market value of the Company will go through the roof. After the strong sell-off on the world's stock markets, there are lucrative entry opportunities.

    BioNTech in the pole position

    The British Times reported on Wednesday, citing government circles, that the Mainz-based BioNTech could distribute a vaccine before Christmas. This outcome would enable BioNTech and its partner, Pfizer, to outdo the tough competition from the British Company, Astra Zeneca and the US Company, Moderna. Even if it is "only" a lead of two weeks, this will correlate with the assumed positive study results.

    Pfizer boss sticks to schedule

    Albert Bourda, CEO of Pfizer, recently announced that the Company would apply for emergency approval of its corona vaccine in the United States in November. The FDA approval is conditional on efficacy and safety data being positive in ongoing trials. The US biotech company, Moderna, does not intend to apply for emergency approval until December. After the positive news, BioNTech's share price rose yesterday by over 8% to USD 84.00. The shares were trading at USD 76.00 the day before due to strong selling in the overall market. The high was USD 94.00. If the results remain positive, new highs may only be a matter of time.

    The Green Gold

    First Mover status has already been achieved by Canadian junior gold production and environmental Company, Newlox Gold Ventures Corp., in the area of sustainably mined gold. The strategy was born by chance. "We were shocked when the results came back from the lab showing that the tailings had a higher grade than the mine plan we were developing at the time..." CEO Ryan Jackson told us in an interview. The reason for the high grade in the tailings was due to decades of artisanal processing, which is only 40% effective in extracting gold.

    New focal points set new standards

    Newlox Gold, in collaboration with the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia, has developed a customized system for recovering precious metals from artisanal tailings piles, while at the same time carrying out environmental remediation. Artisanal gold accounts for 20% of global gold production. It is a USD 27 billion industry that has been completely neglected by traditional mining companies. The current market capitalization is just CAD 15 million. Newlox has access to 30 historic, prospective gold projects. The fact that Canadians are paying attention to environmental and social aspects is setting new standards, especially in the gold mining industry.

    Disappointing stock market debut

    The Norwegian hydrogen Company, NEL ASA, is not doing well with partnerships and participations at the moment. The disaster around Nikola, a US fuel cell and battery truck builder, which has been burdened with severe fraud allegations, was already one of the main topics on the capital market this summer. Yesterday came the next, admittedly minor disappointment. The Danish hydrogen Company, Everfuel, celebrated its IPO. NEL ASA still holds 19.9% of the Company, which was spun off in 2019. The placement price was still at NOK 22. However, during the meeting, the price dropped to as low as NOK 15. Considering that hydrogen shares are all the rage at the moment, a bitter disappointment. On the positive side, the Danes were able to place shares worth almost NOK 27 million in a private placement for NOK 22.

    Gold has held above the key USD 4,000 per ounce level following its recent pullback. The correction shook the market, but the precious metal has rebounded faster than even the most optimistic analysts had expected. While experts continue to debate the future course of the market, central banks are steadily adding to their gold reserves—a clear vote of confidence in the precious metal. For investors willing to look beyond the obvious, attractive opportunities are now emerging. Three companies deserve special attention in this environment: the established industry leader Barrick Mining, the promising explorer Kobo Resources, and the gold producer Kinross Gold.

    Volkswagen Under Pressure! Is Porsche AG Ready to Accelerate? RE Royalties Near a Technical Breakout?

    The world remains mired in a web of conflicts and wars, leaving financial markets repeatedly holding their breath. Geopolitically, we appear to be heading towards a scenario that would have seemed unthinkable only a short time ago. Will the conflict with Iran escalate further? Are we facing devastating large-scale US air strikes in the Middle East, following the deployment of B-1 bombers to the region? Could the situation even escalate to the use of a tactical nuclear weapon, or is this historic sabre-rattling ultimately a calculated bluff by global powers—designed to trigger panic before the next major "TACO trade" unfolds? While investors grapple with uncertainty, Europe's traditional industries are coming under increasing pressure. The automotive sector and its suppliers are particularly vulnerable. Even iconic German industrial giants such as Volkswagen are showing signs of strain, prompting an increasingly uncomfortable question: Will Volkswagen still exist in five years? In this historic context, the wheat is truly being separated from the chaff. While traditional industries and corporations are fighting for their very survival, smaller niche players are seeing significant opportunities emerge. We take a closer look at where investors may still be able to generate attractive returns.

    IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS AT EQUINOR, NERVOUSNESS AT MUNICH RE, A SENSE OF OPTIMISM AT ZEFIRO METHANE

    Hardly any other greenhouse gas warms the atmosphere as quickly as methane. That is why a new, still-emerging market for climate credits is developing around the elimination of methane leaks. Investors can profit even in this early phase. Shares of three companies in particular are well-suited for this. Canadian remediation specialist Zefiro Methane provides the service, the long-established German conglomerate Munich Re insures the associated risks, and the Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor represents the buyer side. While Equinor is benefiting from high oil and gas prices and reporting stellar quarterly results, nervousness is spreading at Munich Re because the executive board intends to review the annual forecast once again. At Zefiro Methane, on the other hand, there is a genuine sense of optimism, driven by a fully loaded order book.
