    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.

    Gold rush 2026: Position yourself quickly! Keep an eye on Barrick, B2Gold, Desert Gold, and DroneShield!

    Who would have thought it? Gold and silver are the clear winners among defensive assets in the 2025 investment year. Protection against inflation, geopolitical risks, and fiscal-policy uncertainty has made precious metals shine, which, despite all the doom and gloom from tech stock market traders, were able to generate high double-digit returns of 57% and 82%, respectively. Of course, a 10% drop in the US dollar is weighing on returns in euros, but there is still a nice profit left in the account. Gold and silver mining stocks and, selectively, some explorers performed even better. In today's peer group, we turn our attention to the African continent, where important changes in the regulatory and economic environment could transform local producers into potential cash machines in 2026.

    The high flyers of 2026: who will lead the next rally? Almonty, Rheinmetall, BYD, and Mercedes-Benz in focus

    As the year draws to a close, investors are already thinking about the next investment year. This is understandable, as hardly any other period in history has brought as much return as the past year. AI, defense, and high-tech stocks led the way, with some even reaching 1,000% in individual cases. However, the price trends also show that stocks that have performed well will eventually enter a consolidation phase. In the case of Almonty, the share price rose tenfold, and even after the correction, it was still up almost 700% at the beginning of December. In addition to fundamental data, timing also plays a decisive role in success. We are thinking about the coming year. Will the old favorites also be the new winners?

    "Green" is no longer a mark of quality on the stock market, but rather a minimum requirement. However, those who mindlessly invest in anything with a solar panel or wind turbine in its logo will often have learned a costly lesson by 2025. The sector is becoming more differentiated: on the one hand, the industrial heavyweights are struggling with price wars and supply chains. On the other hand, specialized financiers are emerging who are closing precisely these gaps and often operating more profitably than the manufacturers themselves. Anyone seeking real returns must now make a clear selection: between mass-market players, turnaround candidates, and intelligent niche specialists.
