Olalla! And here comes the consolidation! Are these already buying opportunities for SMCI, Benton Resources, Palantir, and Meta?
Whenever investors use the term "one-way street", the market tends to correct. This time, several factors were at play, such as failed peace efforts, rising debt, increasing interest rates, and the threat of tariffs from the Trump administration. All four points have a long-term recessive effect, as they weaken consumer sentiment and purchasing power due to higher interest rates and product payments. In the short term, they also weigh on overheated growth portfolios. It is, therefore, worthwhile to take a closer look at the well-known protagonists. After all, buying opportunities arise time and again – timing is key!

Caution - Nasdaq correction: Now, it is really starting with Palantir, Alibaba, Naoo AG, and Meta Platforms.
After a brief correction, the stock market is accelerating again. Alongside high-tech and AI fantasies, rumors of peace surrounding Ukraine are also gaining momentum. European stocks likely to play a role in any reconstruction are gaining a lot of attention. But high-tech is also back in demand. With Nvidia's figures exceeding market expectations, there is some minor profit-taking, but the strong trend should continue. Especially with Nvidia, investors have become accustomed to corrections being offset in a few days. Nevertheless, investors should be on their guard, as many valuations are already very ambitious. In the messenger area, we discovered Naoo AG, which was founded in Switzerland. With innovative approaches, a multifunctional app is being developed here that could potentially outperform even Meta in certain areas. A closer look makes sense.

The revolution for the portfolio: Meta Platforms, Meta Materials, BYD
The ancient Greeks have always been popular with investors. On the one hand, key figures such as beta, gamma or theta make it clear how warrants behave; on the other hand, a look at the ancient Greeks allows for interesting word creations, for example, when it comes to new companies. The prefix "meta" describes either a change or a higher level. In this article, we highlight two companies that have used this Greek syllable. We explain which shares stand for revolutions and where investors should better steer clear of meta-levels.

Up or down? Stocks in sports mode: PayPal, Meta Platforms, Barsele Minerals, Porsche, VW
Today, a historical review takes us back to the period of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933. After the end of the First World War, the government printed money to finance war bonds, jobs for returning soldiers and reparations to the victorious powers. As a result, the money supply increased permanently, prices rose faster and faster, and purchasing power declined. Raw materials for the domestic economy had to be purchased more and more expensively from abroad, but since there were no longer enough goods available, prices continued to rise explosively. From 1922 onward, the talk was no longer of creeping inflation but of galloping inflation. Today, 100 years later, the German producer price index rose by over 45.8% in September. What do investors need to watch out for now?

We look at three stocks and analyze where today's castles in the air could become tomorrow's Cash Cows.

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.

We look at three companies doing something special in their own way.

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?
