Since the Corona low at the end of March, the stock markets have started a brilliant race to catch up. Many indices have reached new highs, with some about to break out. The technology-heavy stocks, such as the Nasdaq Composite, in particular, ran to new all-time highs. Among the individual stocks, the highest gains were seen in Companies from the hydrogen and fuel cell sectors, but also in gold and silver. The trend in these boom sectors is still going strong, and many securities still have a significantly higher price potential.

    Forecasts significantly increased

    Chinese electric car maker BYD is bursting with power, as the recently published Q3 figures show. Despite the Corona dent, the "automotive segment" is showing a strong recovery. The new energy vehicles (NEVs) grew disproportionately in sales volume. In addition to the new model, Han, business with the modified Tang model also developed positively. The Chinese carmaker is expecting net earnings of up to CNY 3.6 billion for the third quarter, compared with CNY 1.57 billion in the previous year, an increase of around 128%. Earnings per share are now expected to be between CNY 1.18 and 1.25 (previous year: CNY 0.51).

    The new Tesla?

    Founded in 1995, the Company aims to knock the top dog Tesla from his throne. It seems that the scissors could be closed further. In addition to the record number of 40,000 new orders for the future flagship Han in recent months, the Company's developers are shining with further milestones. For example, the specially developed lithium iron phosphate battery called "Blade" has an incredible range of 606 km.

    Also, it is only half the size of the original lithium-ion batteries and is therefore supposed to be more cost-effective. A clear attack on the pioneering role of Musk. With a Tesla, you can only get 468 km range with one at the moment. It is interesting to look at the market capitalization of the two giants. While Tesla has a market capitalization of just under EUR 350 billion, the "Build your dream" Company has a market capitalization of only EUR 39 billion.

    New chance

    Fuel cell shares had to correct somewhat after the enormous price jumps of previous weeks. However, the uncertainties in the market as a whole played a greater role. The US manufacturer Plug Power is very broadly positioned compared to its competitors and has further expanded its portfolio through acquisitions in the past 12 months. In addition to the automotive industry, Plug Power has another foot in the door in the field of aircraft technology. In terms of charts, a reset is quite possible, up to about 14 Euros. The long-term bullish trend remains unaffected by this.

    Potential after correction

    The silver price has also had to give way in recent months. However, the upward trend that has been in evidence since 2018 is also intact here. Fundamentally, the uncertainties surrounding the US election, the high and growing national debt, and the unchecked money printing by the central banks should give the price of gold and silver further tailwind.

    Of course, individual stocks have also fallen in recent months. The Canadian junior mineral exploration Company, Silver Viper Minerals Corp., whose main focus is on precious metals exploration in the state of Sonora in northwestern Mexico, was unable to maintain its all-time high of CAD 0.85 and is currently back at around CAD 0.51.

    Financing brings new leeway

    Due to the strong performance of the Silver Viper share price in the past 12 months, the management was able to announce another milestone. With successful financing round from 2019, the Company received further inflow of about CAD 2.8 million. The financing terms included an early conversion right of the warrants, as soon as the share price trades at an average of at least CAD 0.70 for ten consecutive days. On September 15, 2020, this condition was met. The holders of the warrants had until October 8, 2020, to subscribe to the new shares.

    Steve Cope, CEO of Silver Viper stated earlier: "I am very proud of the progress our team has made over the last year. The financing last September (in 2019) was done at 25 cents and we recently hit an all-time high of 85 cents. The majority of the La Virginia project has never seen any modern exploration and we will continue to not only expand on our discoveries at El Rubi but also continue to test the other drill-ready anomalies that we have identified through our surface mapping and sampling programs. With a number of catalysts expected before the end of the year, we fully expect to continue to add value to the company. I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support."

    10% dividend yield and upside potential: These stocks offer both - RE Royalties, Lang & Schwarz, and DWS

    • royalties

    High dividends delight investors. It is even better when they are accompanied by growth potential and rising share prices. Lang & Schwarz's share price has recently plummeted. Can the dividend level of EUR 2, which corresponds to an 11% yield, be maintained for the payout scheduled for late August? DWS is set to pay a special dividend next year, which could also yield up to 10%. RE Royalties tops these figures with a highly scalable and innovative financing model. Furthermore, creating shareholder value is at the top of the priority list. All-around positive prospects for shareholders!

    Interest Rates, Commodities, and Real Estate: Why Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Vonovia Could Help Diversify a Portfolio

    The European Central Bank continues to keep markets guessing over the path of interest rates, geopolitical risks remain elevated, and Germany's residential property market is still searching for stability. The key question is no longer which sector will outperform, but how banks, commodities, and residential real estate can be combined to help balance interest rate risk and broader market volatility. Investors who focus solely on gold or a potential real estate rebound may overlook the more complex reality: monetary policy, commodity cycles, and construction costs each follow their own dynamics. As a result, diversification across these themes is becoming increasingly important. Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining with its diversified commodities portfolio, and the real estate group Vonovia each represent one of these three pillars and could serve as complementary building blocks within a well-diversified portfolio.

    Lahontan Gold's stock is currently one of the most exciting gold mining stocks. The Canadian small-cap has more than tripled over the past year and could be poised for its next big move, as the North American company's business model still holds significant growth potential. This is likely to be confirmed by an updated preliminary economic assessment, which is eagerly anticipated and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August. It could provide this hot stock with new momentum.
