Sustainable investments in focus: Occidental Petroleum, Carbon Done Right, Plug Power - Which stock offers the greatest advantage for a net zero economy?
True sustainability is a delicate balancing act for investors seeking high returns. Companies worldwide still need fossil fuels to keep their businesses running and growing. The US oil and gas producer Occidental Petroleum is no exception. The Company, in which Warren Buffett also invests, is doing a lot to reduce its carbon footprint. On the other hand, Carbon Done Right is sustainable through and through. Its business model involves the reforestation and greening of forests and rainforests to trade real CO2 certificates for companies such as Amazon and Microsoft. Thanks to innovative AI, Carbon Done Right is finally bringing the desired transparency to the carbon market by monitoring tree growth via satellite. Meanwhile, Plug Power relies on in-house hardware and expects a restructuring of tech companies to favour its CO2-friendly solutions. Who truly has the edge when it comes to sustainable measures and returns?

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?

Hydrogen news: Nel shares "Sell", Thyssenkrupp Nucera "Buy", and First Hydrogen convinces customers
Are Nel shares at risk of another price slide? The Norwegians failed to impress with their figures for the fourth quarter and the full year 2023. Incoming orders, in particular, are a cause for concern. Analysts see further downside potential for the share, but there are also optimists. In contrast, the hydrogen newcomer First Hydrogen, which specializes in commercial vehicles, is convincing. In the UK, there was no loss of range even during use in the cold season. Owners of Tesla, Volkswagen and the like can only dream of this. If concrete orders follow, the share should be able to take off. Analysts see potential for Thyssekrupp Nucera shares. The development in the first quarter was convincing. However, investors should also scrutinize the developments in the German hydrogen hopeful.

Cardiol Therapeutics is on the upswing - When will BioNTech and Evotec follow suit?
In the world of biotechnology, the stock market often resembles a rollercoaster ride where investors and companies need to be firmly strapped in. The volatility of biotech companies can include dizzying highs and lows driven by the research and development of new medical treatments and therapies. A single positive report of clinical trial results or regulatory approval of a breakthrough drug can send a company's share price soaring, sending investors and companies into euphoria overnight. This happened recently with Cardiol Therapeutics. When can Evotec and BioNTech announce a success?

Globex Mining, Rheinmetall, Fisker - Correction nearing its end
The German economy is shrinking, and there is no sign of an end to the downward spiral in the current year. Only the defense industry, which was dubbed socially harmful before the Ukraine conflict, is acting as a growth engine, with shares in the sector rushing from one high to the next. The growing and likely continuing demand for defense goods is increasing the need for critical metals. After a prolonged correction, copper, lithium, and others may now have completed their bottoming out.

100% opportunities with Nel, Plug Power, Royal Helium - Hydrogen is turning now!
How will the energy transition in Europe really unfold? Hydrogen is a tricky matter. The raw material is considered an alternative building block for a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Nevertheless, there is a lack of green energy sources for its environmentally friendly production. Even under the best conditions, producing electricity from green hydrogen still costs around twice as much as from oil, coal or natural gas. Since 2022, consumers have had to cope with cost increases of over 50% in energy and are unlikely to be able to use hydrogen in a meaningful way. The necessary decisions for economic implementation, therefore, lie with politicians. H2 shares have lost around 85% in the last 24 months. In addition to a technical rebound in hydrogen, investors should also take a closer look at the technical gas helium.

C3.ai, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Ready for the rebound
The major stock market barometers, the DAX and Dow Jones, continue to surge and rush to new highs almost daily. Currently, one of the hottest sectors is the semiconductor industry, which is reporting record figures due to the emergence of artificial intelligence. In contrast, another future topic, electromobility, is currently in correction mode. Market leaders such as Tesla and BYD have seen their stock market value fall dramatically. Currently, it appears that these stocks have found a bottom from which the next upward movement could begin.

Kraken Energy, RWE, Plug Power - Is Germany reconsidering its nuclear phase-out?
Calls for a U-turn on the nuclear energy issue are getting louder in Germany. Above all, the AfD, the CDU/CSU, and the FDP, as members of the traffic light government, are calling for a resumption of nuclear power generation. In Europe, Germany's energy policy has already caused considerable head-shaking. Nuclear power can shoulder the base load, does not produce CO2 emissions and is cheaper and less volatile than renewable energies. Many countries agree on one thing: we need to move away from fossil fuels. In the Czech Republic, plans are underway to build 4 new nuclear power plants, and in Poland, the Netherlands and Sweden, there is no longer interest in phasing out nuclear power. It will be interesting to see how Germany's struggle for energy develops.

1200% with artificial intelligence, 100% with Bitcoin, and now comes Gold! Barrick, Desert Gold, Aixtron and Super Micro
The stock market keeps rising - this is indicated by the ever-new highs of prominent indices such as the NASDAQ 100 or the DAX 40 index. However, a closer look reveals some inconsistencies. For example, only 7% of all traded stocks are currently reaching new highs, while over 60% of all listed stocks are falling. In short, global liquidity is aggregated in just a few blockbuster stocks worldwide, while the rest are being left behind. Such bubbles occurred in 1999, 2007, and 2015, followed by a 25% to 50% correction. No one knows when it will happen again, but the party will likely last a little longer. Gold and Silver have been trending sideways at a high level for the past 3 years, but the yellow metal showed the first signs of life last week. What should investors look out for now?

Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer, Coinbase - Which share will generate profits in the long term?
The world of pharmaceuticals and life sciences is characterized by precisely documented studies in clinical research. If an active ingredient makes it to approval, there is the potential for a blockbuster worth billions. Cardiol Therapeutics has an active ingredient in the second phase of clinical research for the treatment of heart disease in people under 35 years of age. This active ingredient can also restore the quality of life of 26 million people worldwide who suffer from heart failure. Bayer continues to clean up the unresolved issues left behind by the former CEO. Did the weedkiller RoundUp® from the Monsanto deal possibly lead to improper treatment due to a lack of consumer protection information? The five-figure lawsuits still pending against Roundup are dampening the share's profit prospects. The situation is currently quite different in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin is outperforming everyone, and the Coinbase share is benefiting from it. Which investment generates profits in the long term?
