    Long-Covid share: Cardiol develops therapies for heart problems

    The shares of Cardiol Therapeutics continue the price increase of the past days since the opening on the home exchange in Toronto. At CAD 2.91, the stock is trading up 3.2%. The company focuses on the therapy of heart disease and relies on natural active ingredients from the cannabis plant. Clinical trials are expected to confirm the success.

    In recent months, reports of heart problems in athletes have increased. According to media reports, the cause of these problems is often related to a Covid-19 infection. Names such as Alphonso Davies (FC Bayern Munich), Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Axel Méyé (IR Tangier) and Mario Lemina (OGC Nice) have had to take a break since last week due to heart problems following a Corona infection.

    The mentioned top athletes are certainly only the tip of the iceberg and the potential of Long-Covid shares is accordingly high. The experts at GBC Research recommend Cardiol's stock as a buy with a price target of CAD 17.49. Additional analysts recommend the shares. Canaccord with rating 'Buy' and Cantor Fitzgerald with 'Overweight' independently see a price target of USD 8.00 ≈ CAD 10.00.

    When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.

    When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.

    The geopolitical situation is currently creating renewed uncertainty. In Ukraine, the drone war is intensifying, while Russia and Ukraine continue to step up their attacks. At the same time, the conflict between the US and Iran remains unresolved. According to Iran, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while Trump claims otherwise. For the markets, however, all of this is highly dangerous: oil prices continue to rise as uncertainty over energy supplies and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz increases. While geopolitical risks, energy prices, and Trump's unpredictable statements are "shaking up" the major stock indices in both directions, opportunities are simultaneously emerging for companies poised to benefit from energy supply, infrastructure, and technological transformation. We take a closer look at Plug Power, Allianz and Zefiro Methane from the perspective of which companies could benefit from the geopolitical state of emergency, rising energy demand, and the new industrial reality.
