Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Lanxess - After setbacks, is now a good time to buy?
An old merchant's rule states: The profit lies in the purchase. This wisdom can also be applied to stock market trading. As an investor, waiting for a setback before buying is always advisable. This avoids the danger of entering at a high. After the start of the banking crisis, the gold price soared, and those who bought then are now at a disadvantage. With the recent decline in the gold price, there may be an interesting opportunity to enter the market again. We, therefore, take a look at two gold companies. Finally, we will analyze Lanxess, whose shares recently suffered heavy losses.

Bayer, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech - Biotech facing a rebound?
Due to the Corona pandemic, the pharmaceutical and biotech sector received a lot of attention. Many investors invested too late and could hardly benefit from the significant upward movements. After the hype, a sense of disillusionment set in. The vaccine manufacturers felt the effects because as soon as the pandemic subsided, the stock market also went down. Large and small companies experienced sell-offs, with some trading below their cash reserves. These low prices led to a wave of takeovers. Most recently, Novartis snapped up the biotech company Chinook for up to USD 3.5 billion. Therefore, today, we look at three companies from the healthcare sector.

Explosive data revolution: Desert Gold Ventures, Palantir and PayPal in billion-dollar business
Smart data analytics enables companies like Desert Gold Ventures to calculate their drill targets more accurately. With experienced board member Doug Engdahl, the team gains an expert who will give the company time-saving advantages. The commissioning of US company Palantir by the NHS to create a data repository for COVID-19-related data and analytics raises questions. Initiatives like Foxglove are campaigning for proper procurement to minimize the risk of surveillance and restriction of civil liberties. Intelligent financial service providers like PayPal are creating new business opportunities from unhealthy user behaviour. PayPal's attractive "Buy Now, Pay Later" offering has led to a global credit debt of EUR 18.1 billion. It is time for PayPal to get that money back with powerful partner KKR by its side.

Solar and wind instead of oil and gas - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lanxess: Germany focuses on decarbonization!
International energy policy is more disparate than ever. While the US, Canada, China, India, South America and Russia focus on exploiting their abundant fossil reserves, resource-poor countries like Germany and select European states are embracing renewable energies. This decision results from an existing shortage or is imposed in the EU alliance, but it fits argumentatively into the picture of rapid decarbonization, a main line of European policy. As a reminder, planet Earth is home to almost 8 billion people, while Europe has only about 700 million inhabitants. With 8.7% of the world's weight, activist climate policy is being pursued in this country. While the goals are laudable, the overall effect of the efforts is rather negligible. But the consequences for Europe's historically built-up prosperity will be considerable. What is important for investors to consider?

First Phosphate, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - 1,500 km range through battery revolution
Until now, solid-state batteries were considered too expensive for electric mobility and could be recharged much less often than today's lithium-ion batteries. Now, thanks to a new technology, car manufacturer Toyota has developed a battery that can be recharged within 10 minutes and has a range of up to 1,500 km. This instantly puts Toyota's electric vehicles in the spotlight. Until now, the Company has been a niche player in the electric car market and has been more successful with hybrid vehicles. Today we look at First Phosphate, which aims to supply phosphate for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, and we finish by looking at two car manufacturers.
