Synergy effects as a risk buffer: Amazon, wallstreet:online, Volkswagen
Experienced value investors look for an "economic moat" in attractively valued companies. These business model characteristics make it particularly immune to external influences and disruptive factors. These include, for example, low-priced items that are a hit with consumers thanks to strong brands and are therefore readily purchased even in times of crisis. Another form of "economic moat" can be different divisions and business units that complement each other. We highlight three synergy stocks and explain how they can be stable investments.

Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, wallstreet:online, Allianz - High turnover, wild prices - what are brokers and financial stocks doing?
In addition to the high price increases and the permanently rising interest rates, the highest volatility has now broken out on the stock exchanges. Investors have to adjust to new scenarios almost every day, especially the timing of the news about the state of the international economy is causing more and more headaches for economists. That is because the increased prices of raw materials are now considered standard and put a strain on the purchase prices of intermediate products and the calculation of the Company's own supply list. In some cases, this leads to dramatic adjustments, as impressively demonstrated by the manufacturer price index with +33.6% in May. How are the financial and broker stocks doing in this swing market?

Lufthansa, wallstreet:online, Rheinmetall - The mood brightens
At this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Robert Habeck, Germany's Minister for the Economy and Climate Protection warned of a global recession. Specifically, he said, there were four sources of danger in the form of high inflation, an energy crisis, food shortages and the climate crisis. In contrast, the mood of the German economy brightened considerably in May, despite the Ukraine conflict. "The German economy is proving robust despite inflation concerns, material shortages and the war in Ukraine," Ifo President Clemens Fuest said. "Signs of a recession are not visible at present." Ideal conditions for further rising quotations. Thus, several indices are again on the verge of striking buy signals.

wallstreet:online, Block Inc., PayPal - Is the mood turning?
One sector that has made strong gains in the stock market boom of recent years has been FinTechs and financial services providers. Financial portal operators and neobrokers such as wallstreet:online and Smartbroker were among the beneficiaries, as was the payment service provider PayPal. The share price of Block Inc., the mobile payment provider originally launched under the name Square Inc., also climbed to dizzying heights. After a sharp correction, things could now be on the up again with the tailwind of good figures.

Tech stocks - Where is the party over? Alibaba, wallstreet:online, PayPal
For years, digital business models were considered the best of the best. But the past April has punished stocks such as Alibaba and PayPal - in some cases, very significantly. The question now is: Is the age of growth companies coming to an end, or are the current prices possibly a good opportunity? And what other factors might be playing a role?

wallstreet:online, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank - Which financial stocks belong in the portfolio?
Rising inflation is putting pressure on central banks. If one wants to fight inflation, interest rates must rise. While the interest rate turnaround has been initiated in the US, Europe does not want to act yet. If interest rates in Europe remain at the current level, everyone should invest their money to at least partially cushion inflation. If interest rates rise, the banks will benefit. In particular, the two large German banks have suffered from the low interest rate policy. Today, we look at three financial stocks and analyze which stocks belong in the portfolio.

Deutsche Bank, wallstreet:online, Commerzbank - Financial stocks about to jump
Rising and longer-lasting inflation is worrying market participants. The central banks, which held on to their ultra-loose monetary policy for too long in favor of possible economic growth, must act now. While the ECB is still in a deep sleep, the US Federal Reserve started with the first interest rate hikes, and more will follow. The beneficiaries of the interest rate turnaround are financial institutions, which also performed after the announcements. However, the war in Ukraine knocked them back. A possible second chance to invest in attractive financial service providers.

Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, wallstreet:online, TeamViewer: Exploding interest rates - look at brokers and financial stocks now!
The ten-year mortgage interest rate perfectly replicates current inflation. Unfortunately, it must be said, home builders must have missed out if they were unable to secure the historic low interest rate from 2021. Throughout last year, the conditions fluctuated between 0.60 and 0.95%. Currently, there is even a 2 before the decimal point. With a credit sum of EUR 500,000 per year, interest is easily EUR 5,000 on top, calculated on the entire running time, the real estate investment increases in price by more than EUR 50,000. And that at prices, which had doubled alone in the last 7 years in the metropolises. Those who now have money on the high side consume it or try their luck on the stock market. Banks and brokers are now back in vogue!
