Where big tech fails and new opportunities arise: Amazon, Apple, MiMedia
The major tech players dream of the distant future and, in doing so, neglect their bread-and-butter business of serving everyday customers. One example is personal cloud storage and media management. According to market researchers at Thread Gold Consulting, 2.3 billion people are already using such services today. By 2031, the market is expected to grow by 24% annually, reaching USD 366 billion. Industry giants like Apple and Amazon offer cloud storage only within their own ecosystems. White label products? Not a chance! We explain the lucrative investment niche that is emerging in cloud services and how investors can benefit from it.

Apple, Veganz Group, and Mastercard with big surprises
The past trading week on the stock market was eventful, particularly with the release of second-quarter figures. While heavyweights like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Apple delivered impressive results, there was nevertheless a sharp sell-off at the end of the week. Market participants cited the ambitious valuations of tech giants and the "sell on good news" effect as reasons for this. In contrast, one Berlin-based company offers sufficient room for maneuver, having delivered excellent figures and unveiling a strategic realignment that has caught the attention of investors.

Almonty Industries: Why is the share price set to multiply, and is the supply chain breaking down?
In corporate development, there are various triggers for growth spurts and rising profits. At Almonty Industries (TSX: AII), the reason is clear: the Company will begin operating one of the world's largest tungsten mines in South Korea this summer. While other mining projects often still have to contend with lengthy approval processes or environmental regulations, and often offer little realistic prospect of success, Almonty is on the verge of expanding its production to such an extent that it could meet the entire demand of the US in the future. Those looking to invest in tungsten should go for the "original" – Almonty shares. The situation on the tungsten market is now so tense that the price in Shanghai has risen to a 12-year high of over USD 56 per kg. Accordingly, the profitability of Almonty's mines in Portugal and South Korea is likely to increase further. Uncertain times lie ahead for defense companies such as Hensoldt, Renk, Rheinmetall, and their suppliers. When will the supply chain break down? – More on this in the report.

Stable earnings – These cloud providers make portfolios robust: Apple, Spotify, MiMedia Holdings
Customers come and go. Restaurants have to win over their clientele anew each time. But it is different with digital subscriptions: we are willing to pay for our daily dose of music or our photo archive in the cloud. Even when prices rise, many customers are reluctant to switch to the competition. For companies like Apple, Spotify, and MiMedia Holdings, this creates the ideal conditions for stable earnings and future growth. We take a closer look at the three companies and explain how investors can seize opportunities.

Apple, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold - Technology sector meets commodity markets in transition
The global economy is showing its dynamic side at the beginning of 2025. Apple presents strong quarterly figures with record revenue of USD 124.3 billion. The Services division, in particular, stands out with a growth of 14% to USD 26.34 billion. First Nordic Metals Corporation offers high gold exploration potential thanks to its properties in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland. In Mali, West Africa, on the other hand, the leading gold producer, Barrick Gold, is facing further difficulties with the Malian government.

XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...
