Between market panic and profit: What Almonty has in common with Apple and IBM
The war in Iran has long since become a conflagration in the Middle East, including energy price shocks. Trading on Tuesday was particularly typical of this market environment. The day perfectly reflects the psychological state of market participants. Driven by horror stories from the Middle East and concerns about a global energy crisis, many stocks experienced drastic fluctuations. But while many stocks are still under pressure, Almonty's share price revealed a pattern that experienced market participants interpret as a sign of relative strength. After initially falling sharply, the stock stabilized rapidly, pushing the price back up significantly before the close of trading. In periods of extreme uncertainty, investors are not looking for short-term speculation, but rather for companies with a unique market position, a crisis-proof margin structure, and operating potential based on irreplaceable resources. We draw historical comparisons and explain that even heavyweights such as IBM and Apple have had to weather headwinds in the past.

PayPal, BIGG Digital Assets, IBM: Crypto becomes a billion-dollar business
Invest, pay, transfer: The flow of money is becoming increasingly digital. The digitization of finance began more than a decade ago. Back then, we got tired of paying small amounts for transactions on eBay via bank transfer - and signed up for PayPal. Today, this development is much further along. Cryptocurrencies and the ongoing tokenization of tangible assets have changed the financial world. All other sectors, such as healthcare, are also becoming increasingly digital. Reason enough to take a closer look at three stocks.

Palantir, IBM, Apple, wallstreet:online AG - Watch out, now Big Data is flying away!
It is the decade of digitalization. One of the biggest challenges for any company is to analyze its customer data following existing data protection regulations. Although modern humans now willingly put almost everything online, the commercial use of data in Europe is particularly restricted. Every traveler at the border to Germany, for example, receives a friendly reminder about the applicable Corona regulations, but linking cell phone data and movement profiles is fortunately not permitted in Germany. We take a look at companies that have found their niche in the data jungle.

IBM, Revez, Bechtle: Returns thanks to digital transformation
Digitization is here to stay. A recent study by PWC shows, 44% of those surveyed agree that digitization will soon encompass all areas of life. Even if there is rightly a need for discussion in some areas, the trend is intact. The next step will be to digitize the German bureaucracy - an urgently needed step at the latest after the pandemic. Supporting the states and municipalities in this are companies such as IBM. We explain how investors can profit from digitization.

SAP, Aspermont, IBM - Disruptive changes through digitization: Recognize potentials and act in time!
In 1996, Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote an essay entitled "Content is King". In it, he assumed that the emerging Internet would develop into a marketplace for content in the years to come. He was right but did not take into account the users' low willingness to pay and the resulting importance for advertising. And this is where other companies such as Google came out on top. As digital transformation has progressed, however, a trend in the other direction has become apparent in recent years: The introduction of flat rates (Spotify, Netflix), cloud solutions (iCloud, Google Drive) and anything-as-a-service models (e.g., software: Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office 365) is encouraging people to pay for content if they receive reliability, up-to-dateness and ease of use in return - provided, of course, that the price/performance ratio is perceived as reasonable. The following companies have a unique opportunity to benefit from the power of transformation.

SAP, Revez, IBM: Where digitization creates value
Anyone looking to invest in digitization today rarely finds great growth opportunities on the stock market. Many innovative companies are only open to venture capitalists and develop their groundbreaking products away from the major trading centers. If the companies are successful, large multinationals are ready and make a takeover bid. It is not uncommon for revolutionary technology to be absorbed into billion-dollar corporations and go under a little. We explain where IT investments are still worthwhile today and where investors should be cautious, using the examples of SAP, REVEZ and IBM.

Upco International, Square, IBM - Shop like Robinhood and pay by mobile!
Instead of using their wallets, more and more Germans prefer to use their smartphones or smartwatches at the supermarket checkout - for a good reason: It's simply faster. There's no more searching for change, and no one has to wait for change. Quick checkout at the supermarket, hotel or swimming pool has already proven its worth as a way of bypassing the queue. Mobile payments can be made wherever cash registers are NFC-enabled: Such cash registers can be recognized by the wave symbol, which looks like a WLAN symbol lying on its side. However, not every mobile payment service is suitable for every user. Upco is a small but very flexible provider that offers payment solutions via chat app and also allows crypto connections.
