Daimler, dynaCERT, Tesla, Volkswagen - state-subsidized share gains

  • Investments

The German energy transition and the change in mobility can be summarized in one sentence: maximum effort for minimum success. While the impact of the German population on global environmental responsibilities is marginal, the financial burden is enormous. The introduction of battery cars has already failed and is now only getting off the ground thanks to unprecedentedly high premiums on a new purchase. The original selling point that battery cars are better for the environment has failed miserably. The federal government is now engaging in damage control and appealing to subsidy hunters. On top of that, the acquisition is now sweetened with a state-subsidized charging station. Speculators are rubbing their hands.

    Competitive disadvantages due to politics

    When politics interferes in the economy, it threatens to incur costs that often have to be borne by taxpayers. In Germany, citizens and companies are already paying the highest electricity prices, and there is no end in sight. The reason lies primarily in the levies and fees for building a grid with renewable energies. Only 45% of the electricity in Germany comes from renewable sources.

    Electricity does not originate in the socket

    The shutdown of Germany's safe nuclear power plants means that consumers are becoming more dependent on neighbouring countries. As long as coal-fired power plants are still allowed to be on the grid in Germany, they will fill the supply gap caused by the loss of nuclear energy. Energy suppliers have received hefty compensation from the Merkel government for shutting down nuclear power plants.

    A drop in the bucket

    Subsidies for battery cars are putting Daimler and Volkswagen and their suppliers under increasing pressure. While Berlin-Brandenburg's political celebrities celebrate the construction of a Tesla plant, families in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are left out in the cold, as the government-initiated transformation causes job losses and uncertainty there. More and more new names of battery car manufacturers are appearing on the stock lists, benefiting from subsidies from various nations and giving shareholders a share price firework display.

    Environmental protection comes first

    The earth is our planet, and it must be cared for - environmental protection is, therefore, a top priority. Against this background, it is abstruse that politicians are using taxpayers' money to promote a technology that will create more electricity demand and significantly change the procurement of raw materials. The overexploitation of Mother Earth becomes a burden for the people affected. Also, battery disposal is a problem that will assume significant proportions in the coming years. How will the quantities of pollutants from the batteries be disposed of and who will pay for it?

    An environmentally friendly alternative

    A viable solution that makes an uncomplicated contribution to environmental protection comes from dynaCERT. The Canadian CleanTech Company has brought to market a hydrogen technology for retrofitting diesel engines that significantly increases efficiency and reduces emissions of pollutants. The Company is working with the United Nations, and well-known investors, like Eric Sprott, are already invested. Until there are viable alternatives to diesel engines in many areas of transportation, the dynaCERT technology will be more than just a bridging technology. CO2-based tolling may be another market opportunity for the product.

    Siemens Energy, Deutsche Bank, Almonty: Why 2025 belonged to the tankers – and 2026 will be the year of the speedboats

    There are years on the stock market that are remembered for decades. 2025 was one such year. It was the year the old economy made its comeback. Who would have thought 12 months ago that a former DAX turnaround candidate would outperform tech stocks? Or that a major German bank would suddenly be viewed as a highly attractive core investment? The scoreboard does not lie: the big tankers delivered. However, stock market history rarely repeats itself exactly. While many blue chips are now trading at high valuations and no longer offer much upside potential, experienced investors are already positioning themselves for the next cycle. A presentation at the International Investment Forum (IIF) on Wednesday provided a decisive clue as to where the momentum may shift in 2026.

    Gold & silver with a record year – 100% in 2026 too? Barrick, Kobo Resources, First Majestic, and Endeavour Silver

    Gold and silver remain the surprise of 2025. Despite many prophecies of doom, both precious metals have so far managed to hold on to their record highs of USD 4,350 and USD 58.50, respectively. After a brief correction at the end of last week, the highly volatile silver price quickly rose back to the USD 58.00 mark. Experts warn of an approaching pain threshold for short sellers and futures speculators. They had hoped to be able to close their uncovered positions at a favorable price before the approaching settlement date on November 28. Far from it, because on Friday, metals took off again. According to traders, it is currently almost impossible to procure sufficient quantities of physical silver to cover the many derivative transactions. This is leading to unusual behavior on the market. So where should investors pay close attention now?
