As of today, retail stores in Germany are closed. Do you already have all your Christmas presents? If not, thank goodness there is an ever-growing selection of retailers on the World Wide Web. Online retail is booming, all the more so because of the recurring lockdowns. The trend to use less brick-and-mortar retail and more online retail runs through all industries. For this reason, retailers are increasingly turning to the Internet as a sales channel.

    On the pulse of time

    Online sales account for 80% of total sales at the multiple award-winning fashion label RYU Apparel. The Company also reported that revenues doubled in the third and fourth quarters compared to the same period last year. Things have been going like clockwork since serial founder Cesare Fazari took the reins. His goal: To build a billion-dollar Company by 2030!

    180-degree turn

    Since March 2020 when new Chairman Fazari took the helm, the clocks have been ticking differently. "Respect your Universe," as the Company name reveals, is intended to reflect in the collections a perfect symbiosis of the three areas of life: fashion, sports and lifestyle. The new management focuses on sustainability and follows The Blue Way adopted by the Company, Bluesign. "The Blue Way" stands for the vision and mission of responsible and sustainable textile production. In the future, production will again increasingly take place in the home country of Canada.

    Money for deals

    There is no question that the necessary restructuring of the once distressed Company will require capital. Back in October, RYU Apparel was able to announce the successful placement of a capital increase of CAD 4.8 million. Currently, another private placement of CAD 10 million is underway. The proceeds will be used for the new product lines for Canada Skateboard, product placement opportunities with Branded Entertainment, and the launch of the wholesale strategy. A far-reaching cooperation agreement has been reached with Canada Skateboard. RYU Apparel will support the national team as an official partner for innovative high-performance sportswear until at least 2023. Also, the athletes will be fully outfitted for the 2021 Olympic Games.

    Expansion of the product range

    To gain a foothold in the booming golf industry, the Golf Apparel Division has been expanded in terms of personnel. The design team will be led in the future by James Chapman, an expert in innovation, trends, practicality, and revolutionary digital 3-D design technologies. Chapman has previously worked at Perry Ellis Golf and Callaway. In addition, former professional golfer Andrew Parr will serve as head of the Golf Division. Currently, RYU Apparel has a market capitalization of just under EUR 15.0 million. The new management team has proven in a few months how to restructure a Company. If it continues with this momentum, investors could have a lot of fun with this stock.

    Next hype on the way

    It has long been known that the passenger car sector is booming at BYD. Now, the Chinese industry giant is also expanding into the electric bus segment in order to meet the growing demand, especially in Europe. There are plans to expand the plant in Hungary massively. Production capacity at the Komárom plant is to be increased fivefold from the current 200 to 1,000 e-buses per year. The plant is scheduled for completion as early as 2022. The trend for buses equipped with electric motors appears to be unabated.

    Largest order in the Company's history

    BYD secured the largest order in the Company's history to date from Keolis Nederland B.V., the Dutch subsidiary of the public transport Company Keolis Group, back in November 2019. Keolis ordered a total of 259 e-buses, which were initially to be delivered as early as the summer. Now 246 units have been handed over to the Dutch Company. The remainder of the order is scheduled for completion in spring 2021. According to November sales figures, the "build your dream" Company is delivering 1,000 electric buses per month worldwide.

    JinkoSolar makes subsidiary pretty

    The immediate resignation of almost the entire board at the solar module and solar cell producer JinkoSolar was unusual and surprising. However, this was not due to various disputes, but strategic points. Thus the five resigned are to take over the helm of the most important subsidiary Jiangxi Jinko, in the future. The latter already collected 3.1 billion yuan or about USD 458.0 million for the preparation of its listing on the STAR market in Shanghai.

    Eldorado Gold, Lahontan Gold, Alamos Gold: Investors Face a Once-in-a-Century Opportunity

    After its impressive rally, the price of gold is taking a breather. Profit-taking, a stronger US dollar, and hopes for a less expansionary monetary policy are creating short-term headwinds. However, the long-term drivers of the price have hardly changed. High government debt, ongoing geopolitical tensions, heavy buying by central banks, and the prospect of falling real interest rates continue to support the precious metal. It is precisely such periods of consolidation that have often opened up attractive entry opportunities in the past, particularly for promising gold companies with upcoming catalysts.

    Gold Sector Remains Optimistic: How Kinross Gold and Orla Mining Are Securing the Future—and Lahontan Gold's Hidden Ace

    "Gold. Power. Greed." That was the title of a recent documentary aired by German broadcaster ZDF, exploring the enduring appeal of the precious metal. Investors seeking returns from precious metals often turn their attention first to giants such as Barrick Mining and other major producers. Yet while new discoveries may have only a limited impact on the share prices of established mining companies, positive exploration results can drive a very different level of momentum among smaller players. Agile exploration companies that can supply the processing plants of major producers—thanks to fresh capital, prime locations, and manageable costs—promise dynamic upside potential, as recently highlighted in the ZDF documentary. We introduce three exciting companies and highlight where investors can expect strong momentum.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    • geopolitics

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.
