Allianz, Prospect Ridge Resources, Amazon - Who will follow Tesla in 2022?
The stock market year 2021 will go down in history as a record year. In the elite group of the five largest technology companies, the so-called FAANGs, Alphabet and Apple are on track to deliver the best returns to investors this year. Shares of the digital advertising giant and parent company of the Google search engine are up more than 70% this year, while the iPhone maker is up 39%. After a rally in recent days, however, the shares of Nvidia and Tesla are at the top of the NDX with +164 and 82%, respectively. These results have come in an environment where many companies have struggled with supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and rising material costs. Can this even be topped in 2022?

Allianz, wallstreet:online, Commerzbank - Quo vadis stock markets?
The markets are highly nervous at the moment. First, the Corona numbers went up again, then the Chinese real estate giant Evergrande was on the verge of collapse, and the supply chains are still not back in step. The result was falling indexes. That automatically leads to more fear, as the Fear and Greed Index also showed. Last week, the market calmed down slightly, and the fear index dropped from 27 to 34 points. In Germany, there is also the fact that more people have dabbled in equity investments due to a lack of interest rates. According to the Global Wealth Report, the purchase of securities grew by 65%. Many of the newly added shareholders know only rising stock markets. Consolidation would not hurt the market. On the other hand, there is hardly any alternative to investing money at the moment. It remains exciting.

Allianz, MAS Gold, Alibaba, Tencent - Better get the sheep in the dry!
The gold price fluctuates with every political news as rarely before. After a good end to 2020 and a conciliatory May, it has been going down again since summer. After USD 2,074 last year, we are already USD 340 lower today, although the political and economic stability has deteriorated. The reason for this is that since the beginning of the pandemic, public budgets have undergone a veritable debt explosion. Inflation is now palpable, and this would be the breeding ground for a value-preserving precious metal investment. Are there other safe havens besides gold?

Allianz, wallstreet:online, Commerzbank - DAX on the way to an all-time high?
Can anything at all shake the DAX? Neither the expansive monetary policy of the European Central Bank and the resulting inflation can slow down the DAX, nor Corona or the flood disaster. The IFO business climate or purchasing manager index also shows a positive picture. Looking to America, where most companies have already announced their figures, most have not disappointed. Currently, there is a stock market lull due to the summer months. September is statistically often the weakest month of the year. So one should be on guard. If there is a subsequent lockdown, the tide may turn - at least in the short term.

Commerzbank, Troilus Gold, Allianz - The bubble bursts!
Rising consumer prices are belatedly arriving in Germany. At 3.8%, these were higher in July than at any time since the fall of 2018. And inflation is also likely to pick up further due to rising commodity prices. Instead of raising interest rates and reducing bond runs, the European Central Bank sticks to its ultra-loose monetary policy. The high rates of price increases are said to be temporary and due to special factors. What to do as a saver when expropriation threatens? Take precautions against the worst-case scenario.

Allianz, Kainantu Resources, Munich Re - The 10 billion disaster!
Indescribable images of destruction are spreading across Germany. People lose their homes, possessions and sometimes even their entire existence overnight. To use only climate change as a reason would be a one-sided argument because, for hundreds of years, there have been floods, some of them of biblical proportions. The death toll appears unusually high, and there seem to have been too few serious warnings. The authorities have a greater duty to take preventive action here. Corresponding warning systems have been in place in the EU since 2020. There is insurance for property damage if it has been taken out correctly...

QuantumScape, Q & M Dental Group, Allianz - how to take advantage of the economic recovery!
The hope for a significant economic recovery in 2021 increases with the worldwide vaccination programs starting. But due to the renewed setback caused by the current ongoing lockdown, the forecast has again been revised downwards. Following the expected easing in March, however, the mood should brighten. Against this background, the Ifo Institute's latest economic forecast predicts an increase in price-adjusted GDP of 4.2% for 2021 as a whole.

Allianz, Bayer, Newlox - Opportunities and risks go hand in hand
If the shares of the U.S. company Apple fluctuate, then the impact on market capitalization may well amount to the entire equivalent value of the fourth-largest DAX company, Allianz. Apple's market value is around EUR 1,640 billion, and against this, Germany's insurance giant, at around EUR 75 billion, looks like a delicate little plant. There are various reasons for this, which lie beyond the objective or fundamental valuation. For one thing, more German investors buy the shares of U.S. companies than the other way around, and moreover, premium smartphones and tablets are simply more exciting for the younger generation of investors than insurance policies. From this perspective, healthy diversification makes perfect sense.

Allianz, Commerzbank, TUI, Wirecard - and news for investors
A week on the stock market with positive price development is slowly coming to an end. The DAX was at a low of 10,426 points at the beginning of the week and currently stands at 10,837 points. The gain of more than 400 points is mainly due to the relaxation of measures to limit the spread of the Corona Pandemic. In the meantime, more and more citizens have doubts that the Federal Government has reacted appropriately in dealing with Covid-19. In retrospect, of course, people are always smarter. The fact that the opinions of medical specialists and virologists on this type of corona virus diverged widely and that politicians took the side of drastic measures may have contributed to the fact that Germany has got off so lightly so far.

Allianz, Deutsche Bank, Triumph Gold - ECB warns against own interest rate policy
Luis de Guindos, Vice-President of the European Central Bank (ECB), presented the semi-annual stability report this morning. In view of the continuing economic weakness and extremely low interest rates in the eurozone, the ECB warns of the dangers to the stability of the financial system. High debt levels and budget deficits in some eurozone countries could once again come to the fore in the market. Low interest rates also increased the willingness of investment and pension funds and insurers to take risks in order to generate returns on risky transactions. Unexpected price corrections in investments can thus have consequences for the entire financial system.
