Pathfinder Ventures, TUI, Meta - What is worth investing in now
The prices of tech stocks such as Meta, Alphabet and even Microsoft fall during periods of high-interest rates. The US Federal Reserve has strengthened the dollar, but exchange rate fees for internationally positioned companies are hurting profits. One complimentary to tech is the Canadian company Pathfinder Ventures. It operates state-of-the-art camping resorts in beautiful Canada and has seen a 47% increase in bookings for winter vacations. The 47% occupancy rate also represents a 9% increase over last year. Far from the buzzing server rooms and flickering office ceiling lights, families can relax in the great outdoors without sacrificing WiFi and other modern conveniences. Camping is the ideal alternative to package tour companies like TUI AG. The latter is currently cleaning up its board because the aftermath of the Corona pandemic is still ongoing.

Alibaba, Netflix, Meta Platforms, Globex Mining - Find the best turnaround stocks in 2022!
Rising interest rates and inflation - Central banks worldwide now have to tighten the reins to keep demonetization from getting out of hand. Traditionally, technology stocks, which are otherwise in demand, tend to do poorly in such phases because they have higher financing costs. The higher discount rate makes corporate cash values less profitable than in low-interest rate environments. The NASDAQ-100 Index hit its high of 16,767 points in November 2021, just as the 10-year interest rate began to rise. Since then, the technology index has lost about 22%. But some stocks have more than halved in value. We take a closer look at the former high flyers.

Meta Platforms, PayPal, Triumph Gold - The turnaround is coming in really hard!
Never before in stock market history have there been several billion-dollar corrections in technology companies in succession without the NASDAQ collapsing significantly. After the halving of Netflix, it now catches two other showpieces of the NDX, namely Meta Platforms (ex-Facebook) and PayPal. Last week, after the announcement of their figures, they experienced a severe sell-off of almost 30% each. In total, assets of over USD 300 billion were incinerated. A former bank executive would probably no longer call that peanuts, especially since the Lehman crisis in 2008 triggered a veritable conflagration because of skewed loans worth more than USD 400 billion. But today, everything is different. After this sell-off, who can soon rise again?

Alibaba, Aspermont, Facebook - Cyberattacks or data leaks?
The stock markets are shaking, and the flood of data is increasing daily. As a result, the traffic on all social media channels is also increasing. Some of them get performance problems or have to shut down because of server problems. There have now been several outages lasting several hours in quick succession in the Facebook empire, costing investors over USD 50 billion in market value in Facebook shares. Information is the name of the game on the stock market today, and social platforms like Reddit have a big stake in the market. When something does not work, investors often react in panic and stock markets swing wildly. We take a look at some of the protagonists.

Facebook, NSJ Gold Corp, PayPal - Disappointment despite record figures?
Many market exaggerations in the past can be traced back to expected paradigm shifts, which in the end rarely or never materialized. Growth expectations shot into the stratosphere during the dot-com period in anticipation of a completely new age thanks to the Internet and mobile communications. However, the estimates of the impact of the Internet at that time were still complete fantasy. Today, however, the dot-com business models dominate the online world, and the relevance of most platforms can neither be explained away nor is their existence threatened. On the contrary, the so-called FAANG shares have a stock market value of USD 8.5 trillion. We do the math again...
