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.

DAX on a high, clear turnaround at Evotec and Saturn Oil + Gas, TUI and Lufthansa in a daily battle
The current stock market euphoria might seem out of place at first glance, given the geopolitical uncertainties, sluggish economic growth, and persistent inflation. However, it is important to remember: The stock market is looking 6 to 9 months ahead. The expectation is that inflation will weaken significantly, and the current interest rate level will fall considerably. In this environment of "steadily improving conditions", technology shares seem to be on the rise. Wars such as those in Ukraine or the Middle East may weigh on people's minds, but they boost the balance sheets of the defense industry. In this respect, there is little reason for pessimism, and the DAX at least reached new all-time highs at the end of August. It is worth taking a look at some of the lagging stocks.

Commodities, Travel, Defense: Almonty, Lufthansa, and Rheinmetall in focus
Global tensions offer enormous potential for investors. Given the conflicts with China and Russia, the US urgently needs to reorganise its supply chains for defense raw materials. Almonty Industries, for example, is gaining strategic importance for the US defense industry with its Sangdong project in South Korea. Meanwhile, German airline Lufthansa is struggling with price pressure and rising costs. The management is aware of the challenges and continues to pursue its strict turnaround strategy. Investors should be prepared for profit warnings here. Despite Russian threats, defense contractor Rheinmetall is expanding in Eastern Europe, with new projects in Hungary and Ukraine. Where is an investment currently proving lucrative?

Olympic turnaround expected: TUI and Lufthansa bombed out, dynaCERT on the move, and BayWa poised for a comeback!
When shares fall sharply, there are often fundamental reasons, but sometimes the story is misunderstood by investors, and both scenarios can occur simultaneously.

BayWa is at least making some headway but is dangerously overindebted. The hydrogen specialist dynaCERT now has all the pieces of the puzzle together, and significant movement is expected soon. We provide deeper insights for your portfolio strategy.

Despite the super disaster with CrowdStrike, 100% returns are possible with TUI, Lufthansa, Prismo Metals and BayWa!
The CrowdStrike outage shows us just how dependent the world has become on multinational corporations from America. Within hours, everything came to a standstill - nothing worked at airports, supermarkets, and banks, and some hospitals had to postpone operations. Does this make those responsible think about what urgently needs to be changed? In addition to a completely dependent situation in the IT sector, Europe, in particular, is in a pretty poor state regarding raw materials. Chancellor Scholz is looking for resources in Serbia, a country that would like to join the EU but is closer to the aggressor Vladimir Putin. Can Brussels overlook such facts and transfer billions more to Ukraine at the same time? Europe's needs are obviously manifold, and the most urgent need is likely to master the energy transition to prevent industry migration to more favourable jurisdictions. Investors are currently facing enormous challenges. We provide some ideas for a 100% portfolio.
