Switch now: Volkswagen, Meta Materials, Varta - Get out of banking and invest in climate change!
The banks are sputtering again. The somewhat more mature investors can well remember the horror year 2008 when the spectacular collapse of the small investment bank Bear Stearns occurred in the first half of the year. In May 2008, JPMorgan Chase had to take over the ailing institution in a night and fog operation. But that was just a preliminary flurry of activity. Lehman Brothers finally delivered the huge bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. That was the financial crisis's historical beginning, which only ended 7 years later. Now they are back, the troubled banks and the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS. What is next? That is the big question! After Corona and the Ukraine war, a recession combined with a banking crisis could be heading our way.

Climate protection & energy crisis: BYD, Mercedes, Globex Mining, Volkswagen - Invest in metals!
Those who want to switch from fossil energy to electrical forms of use forget the sometimes poor efficiency in converting fossil primary energy forms to electricity from the socket. Truly green solutions are defined per se by "GreenTech" applications that improve the overall energy balance or even reduce it to zero. A prerequisite for all efforts is access to inexpensive raw materials, especially high-tech metals. These are copper, iron, nickel, silver, and, as the scope of applications expands, silver, platinum and gold. By the fall of 2022, green power yields were between 43 and 66% of the grid capacity. Fossil fuels had a share of only 15 to 20%. Winter has now set in, and trouble looms as the fossil component is more than uncertain for Europe, and solar power yields are falling. Where is the solution?

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?

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?
