The "Magnificent Seven" Stumble, Dragging the S&P 500 Lower; Oil Tops USD 90; VIX Surges – Barrick Mining, Deutsche Börse, DRC Gold, Alphabet, Tesla
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla make up the "Magnificent Seven" and account for roughly one-third of the S&P 500's market capitalization. When two of these heavyweights, Alphabet and Tesla, come under pressure, the broader market feels the impact. Their declines alone shaved around 0.6% off the S&P 500, while the VIX volatility index surged by as much as 17%. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil climbed nearly 5% to above USD 90 per barrel, boosting energy stocks such as Chevron and ExxonMobil. Industrial names, including Caterpillar and Deere, also gained ground. Gold and silver prices also stabilized after recent weakness, while government bonds came under renewed selling pressure as rising inflation expectations pushed yields higher.

The high-tech party à la Nvidia continues! Super Micro Computer, MGI, GameStop and Alphabet in focus
Another new NASDAQ all-time high! Meanwhile, things did not look so good the day after the Nvidia figures. The market collapsed by 400 points in just 5 trading hours, but thanks to well-known protagonists, it recovered surprisingly quickly. High-tech investors are currently trading the big growth fantasy of "artificial intelligence" and are patiently waiting for an interest rate signal from the FED. Before then, there will likely be some relief from the ECB. This is because economic development in Europe is not progressing due to Germany's pronounced weakness as a business location. High inflation and the entrenched capital market interest rate are cited as obstacles. This is putting pressure on consumers' budgets. Despite all the prophecies of doom, some business models offer good growth even in challenging economic situations. We provide an insight.

Globex Mining, Alphabet, Amazon - Hard assets in uncertain times
It continues to be uncertain times for Amazon employees. CEO Andy Jassy is cutting around 9,000 jobs in the group to keep the numbers stable. Tech rival Alphabet, on the other hand, can rejoice: for the first time, its cloud business is posting an operating profit, prompting the management team to buy back shares. The mining business is somewhat more consistent. Globex Mining has two pieces of good news for gold investors.

Which stocks to get into now? Alphabet, Amazon, Aspermont and Alibaba under the magnifying glass!
Well, things turned out differently than expected! In the fall of 2022, the spectre of crisis made the rounds again several times. The forecasters overlapped in their assessment of the economic downturn. The reason was the strong inflation and the associated loss of purchasing power. But now: Where is inflation heading in 2023? In order to answer this question, it is helpful to look back to the period after the oil crisis in 1973. As was the case then, an energy price correction is to be expected today. Gas, meanwhile, has already fallen almost unnoticed to a 17-month low. Unfortunately, the Berlin traffic lights have already covered Germany's energy needs at peak prices, which is now blowing up people's utility bills. However, falling inflation also leads to lower interest rates, boosting growth stocks in particular. We take a look at important protagonists.

Triple AAA stocks take off: Amazon, Aspermont, Alphabet, Allianz - Sellout done?
Well, who would have thought: after 9 months of correction mode, the stock market is already returning to normal mode this year. The indicator for leaving the panic mode is the VDAX, i.e. the measured fluctuation range of the index in 12 months. Last week, it reached levels of 22 to 23 again, after peaking at 33 in September. By comparison, in the absolute panic phase at the start of the war, the volatility gauge was 48.6%. The mood has eased, so welcome to the year-end rally. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

Triple AAA shares: Amazon, Aspermont, Alphabet, Allianz - Where does the FAANG trigger sit?
In times of high uncertainty, the correct and rapid supply of data is one of the most important achievements of the information society. Today, information is provided sporadically via print media, but the online world remains the top instrument for marketing and news dissemination. Internet content spreads at lightning speed through mobile use. The speed from production to reception by the addressee has decreased in recent years from days to hours to minutes, sometimes even seconds. Which online blockbusters belong in every depot?

Split fantasy: Amazon, Alphabet, Viva Gold, Tesla - Shares with top prospects!
Now the tide has turned again. The crash hysteria has disappeared, and bond prices are gradually recovering. The yield for 10-year German government bonds fell in the last 6 weeks completely surprisingly from the high at 1.75% to under 0.90% - that does not look like a boom. The specter of inflation is also slowly losing its scare, with oil prices now consolidating by more than USD 25 from their recent highs. The pressure on central banks to raise interest rates is thus easing considerably, giving equities the necessary room for positive momentum again. We take a look at promising stocks.

Amazon, Alphabet, Viva Gold Corporation - Is data really the new gold?
Internet giants like Amazon and Alphabet are betting on digital care. One Medical is the latest acquisition of the e-commerce group. The digital health company is changing hands for USD 3.9 billion, and with it, all the user data that has been created up to that point. Specifically, this is healthcare data. Is data the new gold? With volatile markets and runaway inflation, some calm in the portfolio from real gold can be beneficial. Exploration companies like Viva Gold Corporation are betting on working in the field with digital support. Recent drilling at the Tonopah project in western Nevada has been promising. Alphabet investors, on the other hand, had to take the latest quarterly figures with a slight disappointment. While things are moving forward in the cloud business, the group's growth has been one of the slowest.

Quality is the trump card: Alphabet, MAS Gold, Amazon - Shares that always bring joy!
The capital market environment remains tense. Squeezed by historically rising inflation figures, which do not even reflect the reality at the supermarket checkout, and massively increased interest rates, the asset class equities are trying to manoeuvre through the summer. In the face of substantial price discounts on the bond market and stagnation in the real estate sector, investors are asking themselves: Where to put their money? The fact remains that the Russian conflict and the rise in the price of fossil fuels are putting the global economy under cost pressure, with a new surprise lurking almost every day as to which goods are simply out of stock or can no longer be supplied in the long term. In this mixed situation, selection is the trump card. We have a few ideas.

Alphabet, Water Ways Technologies, TOMRA Systems: Return on investment with clean water and sustainability
Clean water is a human right for a reason. When precious water is polluted, diseases spread. Children and the elderly in particular suffer from water pollution. Geo-strategists are even expecting armed conflicts over water. For example, when huge rivers, which are often the lifelines of entire continents, become polluted and countries downstream suffer. We present three stocks that have something to do with water.
