As is well known, the future is traded on the stock exchange and for this reason investors are always looking for the right time to start a new investment. It can be political decisions or new technological trends that cause sales and profits to soar. In the case of Covid-19, restrictions imposed by governments around the world brought many industries to a standstill. Gradually the picture around the Corona pandemic is clearing up and normality is slowly returning in many parts of society with a new understanding of hygiene. Since mid-March 2020, the peak of the Corona panic on the world's stock markets, many share prices have more than recovered. But there are also some companies that still have potential or are waiting to be rediscovered.

    Helium filling station in Cape Canaveral

    When rockets or spaceships take off towards space in the US state of Florida, a large amount of fuel is consumed in a very short time to allow the material weighing several tons to take off with crew. Helium is used to regulate the fuel consumption, because the inert gas prevents a vacuum from being created in the tanks during consumption. The demand for helium is now so great that NASA is the largest single customer for the inert gas.

    Critical raw material with growing demand

    However, helium is most commonly used in medicine. Magnetic resonance tomographs are a large consumer, but helium is also consumed during welding in production. Because the noble gas cannot be produced artificially and there is no substitute material for most applications, the gas is one of the critical raw materials. Helium is usually produced from the ground and for this reason companies looking for the gas are in great demand.

    Company in potential key position

    There are not many pure helium companies on the stock market where investors can participate in the future development of the commodity. For several months now, Royal Helium from Canada has been in the focus of interested investors, as the company has secured access to approximately 400,000 hectares of helium licenses in North America, making it one of the largest players in the market. The province of Saskatchewan is the focus of activities. The company says that it is aiming to become one of the largest producers of helium in North America. Given that Elon Musk, for example, has big plans for SpaceX in connection with satellite technologies and space tourism, the demand for helium should continue to grow.

    S-Class becomes a beacon of hope

    Last week, the Daimler Group presented the new S-Class. The flagship model from Mercedes Benz comes onto the market with a new edition every seven years. Innovations and current trends are built into the luxury limousine and presented to the target group with high purchasing power. As a prestige object, the S-Class as a state car usually also fulfills its purpose in politics and business.

    More features than ever before

    For the company, the investment in the model is always a good deal, as the margins are highest for this premium product. The press releases for the premiere of the luxury car comprised 77 pages and accordingly the agony of choice when buying is likely to be correspondingly high. The Daimler share should benefit from this impulse.

    Restrictions and rescue

    Lufthansa is one of the largest airlines in the world and travel restrictions have hit the company hard. Many flight connections have resulted in many cancellations. Correspondingly large was the damage to the otherwise successful airline through no fault of its own.

    Aid package offers potential

    The rescue of Lufthansa was in the public interest and the German government has put together an aid package of up to EUR 9.0 billion that management can call on as needed. Last Friday, the company's market value was EUR 5.4 billion and the dimension of the state's helping hand is correspondingly clear. If management can use the government's billion euros wisely, there is a chance that in two or three years the company will be bigger than ever before.

    Artificial Intelligence in Sellout! Nvidia, Defense Metals, ARM Holdings - Nothing works without rare earths!

    After long bull market movements, the stock market usually tends to rotate sectors, or the market enters a general consolidation. In the former case, investors can profit by reallocating their assets while exploring new investment opportunities. In the latter case, all stocks come down, and the capital market generally suffers from a change in sentiment and corrects recently exaggerated valuations. In the case of the new megatrend of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the stock market seems to sense a great need for correction. As if by magic, the blockbuster stock Nvidia rose by 250% in just 9 months. However, it has already retraced nearly 20% from its peak. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

    Companies do not always have good figures in their baggage. Analysts listen very carefully to the words of those in charge. Often, it is only a minor sentence that changes entire valuations. TUI is slowly approaching pre-COVID figures. Saturn Oil & Gas must backtrack slightly because of substantial forest fires in Alberta, and Deutsche Bank aims to finalize the Postbank project in 2023. All three stocks offer good buying opportunities because the long-term prospects are quite convincing.

    The European Central Bank (ECB) recently raised interest rates by 25 basis points. For many market observers, this could mean that the benchmark interest rate within the Eurozone has reached its peak. In the US, the signs also point to a pause in interest rates. Here, we explain what this means for various asset classes and how investors should navigate the high-interest rate environment. Additionally, we will explore an interest-free alternative that has its merits for various reasons.
