The world is sliding from the Corona Crisis into the energy crisis. While climate change also threatens prosperity and stability, a conflict of goals is now emerging between sustainable action and safeguarding industry livelihood. What is at stake: Energy is becoming scarce in China. German industry is also urging the prospective coalition leaders in Berlin to reduce energy costs urgently. Saudi Aramco boss Amin Nasser stresses the importance of investing in new oil wells. And what happens? Oil companies are adorning themselves with wind farms that are, at best, fig leaves in the face of concrete energy needs. We present three stocks for turbulent times.

    Gazprom: Good business to the east and west

    When people talk about a brutal winter in Germany given rising gas prices, the name of the Russian oil giant Gazprom comes up in the second sentence, if not earlier. Germany is still dependent on Russia - and thanks to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, it will remain so for quite some time. The dispute over the pipeline's completion has been settled. Russia is now trying to smooth the waters in the aftermath and dispel any fears that Germany has become susceptible to blackmail because of Nord Stream 2. Only recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave assurances that he would expand gas supplies to Germany if necessary.

    Gazprom, which plays a decisive role in the export of gas, is likely to profit in this case. But Gazprom is not dependent on Germany alone. In parallel, it is currently working on a pipeline to the east to sell its energy in China as well. Since Gazprom accounts for 18% of the world's gas production, the Company is perfectly positioned for the current situation. In particular, its business with China, for which it recently commissioned a gas processing plant that also produces helium, has great potential. The share is and remains promising - but the value will not be a multiplier.

    Osino Resources: Things can go very fast here

    Osino Resources has more potential to become a multiplier. The Company operates in Namibia and is advancing the Twin Hills gold project there. While there are many smaller gold developers in the investment universe that have their appeal but must also be considered highly speculative, Osino Resources offers a more balanced risk-reward profile. That is because the Company is already turning a much bigger wheel compared to many smaller companies. Currently, they are planning a 75,000-meter drill program. In the second quarter of this year, they published a resource estimate of 430,000 ounces (indicated) and 1.47 million ounces of gold (inferred) at grades of around 1.0 g/t. With the new drill program, the resources are expected to increase significantly once again.

    The fact that the team around Osino CEO Heye Daun in the Damara belt in Nambia knows precisely what it is doing is also proven by the fact that the team was already responsible for the neighboring Ojikoto mine and sold it to B2Gold for CAD 180 million a few years ago. With Twin-Hills, this feat should succeed again, as Heye Daun confidently presented at the International Investment Forum a few weeks ago. (Click here for the video of the presentation). Since the analysts at Sprott Equity Research are also positive about the stock and are calling out a price target of CAD 2.55, which currently corresponds to more than a doubling, investors should take a closer look at the share given possible upheavals in the market. Gold can play an essential role in a portfolio as inflation protection and crisis insurance.

    Deutsche Telekom: Share fails to perform

    If you already have gold and oil in your portfolio, you could also add a cash cow. The idea is obvious: Companies that provide people with basic services generate regular income and usually have the pricing power to pass on inflation. One such company is Deutsche Telekom. The Bonn-based Company has long been more than just a German company - it has recently been doing particularly well in the USA. As a result, the Group also raised its forecast for 2021 and now expects an EBITDA of EUR 37.2 billion. This outlook has caused the share price to rise by around 24% on a one-year horizon. Most recently, however, the share price fell, contrary to the market as a whole. The stock is not really picking up speed given rising prices.


    There are many beneficiaries of the energy crisis. Shares like Gazprom should continue to benefit from the market environment. However, some of the situations are already priced in, especially for the major companies in the oil sector. While classic cash flow stocks, such as Deutsche Telekom, have not yet benefited from the market environment, smaller gold companies with promising projects and a foreseeable roadmap to sale or production could be an interesting niche. Osino Resources is a gold stock with potential.

    Lahontan Gold: Canadian Gold Explorer Poised for a Revaluation – Doubling Potential

    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.

    The conflict in the Middle East has intensified once again. Efforts to reach a lasting agreement have so far failed, and a ceasefire based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proved short-lived. Just days after it was announced, reports of renewed attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and on critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf region have once again heightened geopolitical tensions. For oil prices, this is a bullish factor; for the stock market, it means yet another period of heightened volatility with sharp initial losses followed by recovery rallies. Yesterday, Germany's DAX 40 index climbed back above the key 25,000 mark, while defence stocks that had previously come under pressure moved back into the spotlight. At the same time, gold and silver prices weakened, possibly reflecting renewed liquidity pressures in global financial markets. The evolving market dynamics warrant a closer look.

    Gold Amid Crises and War: Is Lahontan Gold the Answer to Trump's NATO Upheaval? Breakout Ahead?

    The world is in a state of heightened tension. The grinding war in Iran has reached its 100th day, further disrupting already fragile global energy markets. At the same time, political tensions are escalating at the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, where US President Donald Trump is once again forcefully demanding greater financial contributions from European allies. During the summit, Trump has also ordered additional military strikes in the Middle East, further rattling investor sentiment. Even the devastating war in Ukraine has, to some extent, been overshadowed by the broader geopolitical turmoil. Investor uncertainty is rising sharply, and risk premiums—including higher oil prices—are climbing across global markets. In times of such extreme uncertainty, investors are looking for reliable ways to protect their portfolios. Gold has once again moved into the spotlight as a traditional safe-haven asset and an important diversifier during periods of geopolitical and economic stress. Against this backdrop, junior gold companies are also attracting renewed attention. One company that is increasingly standing out is Lahontan Gold. The Nevada-focused explorer is emerging as an interesting company to watch, backed by attractive projects, a well-funded balance sheet, and steady operational progress. If the favourable environment for gold persists, the company could offer investors exposure to a sector that has historically benefited from periods of heightened uncertainty.
