COP27 shares sought: BASF, Infinity Stone, Varta, VW - Billions for the energy turnaround!
The meeting of the heads of government in Egypt was proclaimed as a COP27 climate conference, but most of the representatives arrived in a somewhat environmentally hazardous manner with specially ordered aircraft. It can be seen on the Internet on the fringes of the important conference, and climate activists have therefore turned their eyes very strongly in the direction of the prominent participants. Different sources report between 300 and 600 planes around Sharm el-Sheikh airport. What a farce. The word "energy turnaround" seems to have been greatly overused in the public eye since the beginning of the war at the latest, so a coherent implementation of the proclaimed goals should also take place at the very top. The industry, meanwhile, has picked up the ball and is making rapid progress. Which shares can gain traction in the process?

Up or down? Stocks in sports mode: PayPal, Meta Platforms, Barsele Minerals, Porsche, VW
Today, a historical review takes us back to the period of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933. After the end of the First World War, the government printed money to finance war bonds, jobs for returning soldiers and reparations to the victorious powers. As a result, the money supply increased permanently, prices rose faster and faster, and purchasing power declined. Raw materials for the domestic economy had to be purchased more and more expensively from abroad, but since there were no longer enough goods available, prices continued to rise explosively. From 1922 onward, the talk was no longer of creeping inflation but of galloping inflation. Today, 100 years later, the German producer price index rose by over 45.8% in September. What do investors need to watch out for now?

Volkswagen, dynaCERT, Linde - Energy transition outside Europe?
Hydrogen is an essential part of the energy transition. In order to produce it, fossil fuels are still needed, and these are anything but affordable in Europe at the moment. So it is no wonder that Linde plc is looking to delist from the DAX in order to expand its business more lucratively. The listing on the NYSE remains in place. Volkswagen is also feeling the barriers in its home country of Germany, especially for its in-house battery production location. But numerous patents in hydrogen solutions indicate the direction in which the Group will move. dynaCERT has long since arrived there with its hybrid model for diesel trucks. The patented HydraGEN™ technology reduces carbon and increases fuel efficiency. We look at why it is smart to focus on values outside Europe.

Rare Earths and the China Shock: Volkswagen, Defense Metals, Freyr Battery
Remember the Toyota Prius? According to asset manager Pictet, the hybrid car that became the vehicle of choice for supposedly sustainable-minded consumers a few years ago is the consumer product that has gobbled up the most rare earths to date. World record! But the Prius was just the beginning. Soon, all cars will be electric and thus have a battery. Will the demand for rare earths then go through the roof? Can demand still be met at all? We present three stocks related to electromobility, GreenTech and rare earths.

Shares in focus: VW, Porsche, Barsele Minerals - Big shifts, many opportunities!
At the moment, shares are becoming cheaper rather than more expensive. What is unusual is not the fact that prices are falling, what is disturbing is the phase of falling valuations that has now been going on for some time. In the current environment of rising capital market interest rates, refinancing is also becoming more difficult for companies, and it now has its price again. Volkswagen AG from Wolfsburg owns many stakes in valuable automotive brands. In order not to let the debt increase further, parts of the holdings are now being placed on the stock exchange. Not a bad way to fill the coffers again. What should investors look out for now?

Artificial intelligence shopping with these stocks: Infineon, BrainChip, Porsche, VW
It is hard to imagine tomorrow's high-tech applications without them: small, miniaturized chips that take over the intelligent control of our modern appliances. These nimble marvels must not only perform their programmed tasks but also save power and space. Engineering centers worldwide are trying to develop chips that learn from exogenous influences, i.e. that detect their environment through speech recognition or corresponding sensor technology, evaluate states and develop reaction categories. For example, if an object the size of a ball rolls from the right edge of the road across the center of the lane, such systems are supposed to trigger braking with the help of optics and sensor technology. Bravo if it works - where are the opportunities in the current stock downturn?

The Tesla hunters: BYD, VW, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Which share is ahead?
Alongside autonomous driving and new car-sharing concepts, electromobility represents the mobility of the future. With the electrification of the drive and the storage of the energy required for this in powerful batteries, combustion engines are now to disappear from our roads by 2035 - this is the almost unanimous political view. The aim is to reduce hazardous emissions to health and, simultaneously, to cut emissions of climate-damaging carbon dioxide. This is accompanied by a fundamental change in the automotive and supplier industry: In terms of value, the battery will be by far the largest cost factor in the automobile in the future. What is the current status?

Alpha Copper, Nordex, Volkswagen - Has the copper price found its bottom?
On July 15, the copper price briefly traded below USD 7,000 per ton. Since then, the price has risen strongly again to over USD 7,800 per ton. Copper has the reputation of being a leading indicator for the economy, as the metal is used in almost all industrial sectors and electrical products. Fears of a recession have been present in the markets for some time, driven by inflation and recently rising interest rates. Added to this is the zero-Covid policy of the Chinese, which leads to falling demand from commodity-hungry China. The latest statements by FED Chairman Jerome Powell give the markets hope that the worst is over. The copper price so far confirms this view.
