39th MKK - Munich Capital Market Conference: Reaching new heights with thyssenkrupp, Deutsche Lufthansa, Freenet & Co.
The general conditions were anything but favorable. In addition to the weak performance of the German economy due to cyclical and structural pressures and an unclear political strategy, US President Donald Trump shocked the markets with his tariff hammer. Nevertheless, interest in the 39th edition of the MKK – Munich Capital Market Conference, organized by GBC AG, was greater than ever. Above all, the Augsburg-based company made its mark with the size of the event. Of the 40 companies presenting, nine were MDAX and SDAX members, significantly enhancing the format's prestige.

NASDAQ crash, inflation, and price shocks – Gold protects! Golden Cariboo, TUI, Lufthansa, and Carnival
Just three weeks ago, euphoria reigned on the markets, with the DAX, NASDAQ and EURO STOXX reaching new heights – now the tech rally seems to be over for the time being. Germany has voted, and a grand coalition must now take charge of the current issues. However, the challenges remain formidable, and exploratory talks are proving correspondingly tricky. It remains to be seen whether a new government will be formed soon. Donald Trump is taking a unique path in the US and is alienating all former allies. He has boldly taken up the cause of resolving the Ukraine conflict – but so far nothing has happened! China is reporting a slump in exports, while in Europe, the debt ceiling is to be relaxed in order to overcome the tough transformation of the modern age. Infrastructure has been neglected for too long, digitization is in its infancy, and now there is a dramatic need for rearmament. This smells like more debt, higher prices, and further currency devaluation - a fertile ground for gold investments, as the precious metal recently reached a new high of USD 2,950 while everything else is falling. What happens next?

BYD, European Lithium, Lufthansa – It is high time to act
For the first time in history, the German leading index DAX was able to surpass the magic mark of 23,000 points last week, thanks to the possible new Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the sudden lifting of the debt brake. However, the problems remain. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term in office, the global economic order has been in jeopardy. Trade wars and punitive tariffs are on the agenda. Europe must be able to act independently of its big brother in the future, both in terms of security and the supply of raw materials.

DAX makes a decent correction – Gold sets its sights on the USD 3,000 mark! Caution advised with Palantir, Barrick, Desert Gold, Lufthansa, and TUI
After weeks of gains, the DAX 40 index saw its first noticeable correction yesterday. It rose to 22,935 in the morning, but by the evening, it had fallen to just 22,450. Hardly anyone had considered that the one-way street of rising valuations would eventually come to an end. Will the correction continue and perhaps go really deep? The opposite is currently true for gold. The inflation figures from the UK of a smooth 3% in January are causing the central bank to break out in a cold sweat. Adieu interest rate cuts – instead, gold is appreciating again and reached a new all-time high of USD 2,945. We look at the winners and losers. It is time to position yourself correctly.

THE VOLATILITY TRAP: Sell-off in Bitcoin, gold on the rise! Desert Gold, MicroStrategy, Lufthansa, and Nel ASA
After a record year for equities in 2024, the new year is entering a challenging phase. Hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak, with inflation remaining too high. The mega rally in Bitcoin also needs to be deflated soon. This hits BTC collector MicroStrategy quite hard. Nel ASA, which had started the year on a hopeful note, now has to announce a production stoppage! Lufthansa, meanwhile, is working on acquiring the state-owned Italian airline ITA. Volatility is rising dangerously, signaling that a correction is due. These developments are positive for the safe haven of gold. The key now is consistent action!

DAX 25,000 and gold at 3,500 next year? Position now with Lufthansa, TUI, Desert Gold, and Barrick Gold
After an extensive stock rally in 2024, many investors are wondering what the New Year 2025 will bring in terms of investments. Hopes are resting, on the one hand, on the upcoming conservative government changes in the US and Germany. There is great confidence in a new supply-side industrial policy flanked by further interest rate reduction measures. Deregulation of bureaucracy and tax relief could usher in a new era of corporate profitability, especially in Germany. This might eventually lead to the return of foreign investments and job creation, replacing the red-green visions of a carbon-neutral 28-hour workweek with full pay. We provide some insights on where and how profits might flow again.

The US election fever is boosting stocks! Mercedes, VW, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lufthansa and TUI are all incredibly cheap!
The stock market is booming! While the NASDAQ has established itself with P/E ratios above 30, the German stock market shows historically low valuations. Europe is in crisis, which is depressing valuations. As a result, international funds now have an overwhelming share of US stocks. For example, the well-known MSCI World: 72% of the index comprises US stocks, with the "Magnificent Seven" now accounting for around 20% of the list. For investors who are invested in these stocks, it has been a long celebration – but right before the US election, it also poses a significant concentration risk. It may be time to rethink, take profits from the top stocks, and consider a value-oriented portfolio with single-digit P/E ratios.

The DAX is on a high, with potential for 100% gains in turnaround stocks like TUI, Lufthansa, 123fahrschule, BYD, and VW!
Despite geopolitical uncertainties, slow economic growth, and still high inflation, the market outlook is improving. It is important to remember that stock markets look 6 to 9 months ahead. Expectations are growing that inflation will significantly decrease, and interest rates will likely drop. The central banks are increasingly under pressure due to the sluggish economy. After months of a tech rally, the focus is now turning to lagging stocks. In the automotive sector, we are looking at VW and BYD, and the tourism sector is also picking up again. The digitalization expert in the German driving school sector, 123fahrschule SE, also appears highly promising. Each of these stocks has the potential to deliver more than 100% gains over the next 24 months. Here is our analysis.

Volkswagen, First Hydrogen, Lufthansa – Future Technologies for Transport in Focus
The monumental task required to convert entire industries to renewable energies is clearly taking shape. This week, the who's who of the German automotive industry came together for a virtual auto summit. Volkswagen is sticking with hybrids, while politicians want to make the e-vehicle more appealing to citizens. However, the proper infrastructure is lacking. The future could look quite different for the hydrogen market. First Hydrogen is a commercial vehicle supplier that wants to revolutionize the logistics industry with its hydrogen van. The outstanding range of the so-called FCEV, reaching 650 km with only one refuelling, demonstrates that this technology can be far more promising than battery-electric vehicles. Lufthansa customers are realizing that environmental protection costs money. On the one hand, the Company wants to charge fuel surcharges in the freight business, and on the other hand, flight connections are to be reduced in order to withstand the price war with competitors. We provide the details.

Warning: DAX and stock correction - Here come the Comeback stocks! TUI, ThyssenKrupp, Nucera, Desert Gold, and Lufthansa
The stock market gives and takes. After a sharp correction in July, there was a real buying frenzy in August. Surprisingly, however, the old crowd pullers did not reach new highs. Chart technicians interpret this as a dangerous double top with a subsequent sell trigger, which was already in place last week. So, while the major stocks continue to sell off day after day, the underperformers of recent months are starting to attract renewed attention. And if the rotation is successful, quick rebounds with decent returns are on the cards. We take a closer look at a few turnaround candidates.
