E-mobility - is it all over? BYD, Power Nickel, Varta
"E-cars will disappear just as quickly as they came." Boom! This statement by Georg Brasseur, emeritus professor of Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems at Graz University of Technology, is currently making waves. But what drives the retired scientist to make this statement? And what are the consequences for the battery industry and investors? We shed some light on the matter - and even point out opportunities.

Hydrogen versus oil and gas in 2023 - Uniper, Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, Plug Power? The 150% chance!
The example of Uniper shows how quickly a misguided energy policy can backfire. For years, the German government had relied on cheap gas from Russia, even co-financing a brand-new pipeline, but then came the political end. With the Ukraine war, the eastern gas source dried up, and several billion euros invested in destroyed pipelines will never be seen again. Uniper, the biggest gas importer, had to be saved from bankruptcy. In addition to the sharp rise in supply costs, the German citizen now has to bear the additional debt of almost EUR 50 billion for the Uniper bailout. It could not have come at a worse time. Who are the secret winners?

A wake-up call for gold - China as an indicator: Deutsche Bank, Alerio Gold, JinkoSolar
For years, gold has not been as exciting as it is today. Why? Central banks, like the Bank of China, have recently been bullish on gold. In addition, many economies will slide into recession in 2023 - traditionally, a good environment for gold. We look at the past, pick up on current facts and explain which stocks have potential.

BYD, Alpina Holdings, Alibaba - Turnaround in Asia
Asian stock markets are on the verge of a powerful rebound. Due to the Zero-COVID strategy in China in recent months, the markets corrected due to concerns of a sustained economic slowdown. With an end to the lockdown, signs are pointing to growth again. After a massive sell-off, there are attractive opportunities for short-term trading gains, especially in technology stocks.

A look at what the hydrogen deal with Norway means: NEL, Volkswagen, dynaCERT
Those in the import-export business usually know how to cut a deal in business terms. Sometimes entrepreneurs in this industry are also a bit shady - at least, that is the image attached to them. Now Norway wants to get into the import-export business in a big way. In the next three minutes, we explain what is at stake, why the deal is important for the hydrogen sector and how investors can profit from it.

An explosive start to 2023 for GreenTech and battery shares - BASF, Manuka Resources, Freyr and Varta in turnaround
In 2023, international pressure to initiate the climate turnaround remains. One potential path is seen in e-mobility. Despite the enormous development efforts of the last 5 years, no battery solution has yet been launched that could match the performance characteristics of a last-generation diesel powertrain. Key characteristics here are cost and sustainability in manufacturing, range, lifetime and safety. Nevertheless, progress is being made in the chemical mix of battery components, and some companies are making a name for themselves here. We analyze the current status.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Is a Corona tsunami imminent?
At the beginning of December, things were quiet concerning Corona. The feared wave failed to materialize, and there were no new variants. On December 7, China announced a relaxation of Corona measures. Now the country is facing a gigantic Corona wave. Many European countries have already imposed mandatory testing for entry from China. Germany has now followed suit. In parallel, the Consumer Electronics Show 2023 ran from the 5th to the 8th in Las Vegas, where all kinds of companies from all over the world presented their latest technology. Chinese companies also exhibited there. Because of the multitude of infections, new deadly mutations could emerge. As a result, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are coming back into focus.

Nvidia, Meta Materials, Grenke AG - Great chances for a comeback
The stock market year 2022 has left its mark on many companies. Especially for technology stocks, losses beyond 50% were the rule rather than the exception. Fears of rising inflation and the central banks' change of strategy to a strict monetary policy caused investors to throw capital-intensive stocks overboard. The situation on the interest rate front is now easing, which could mean that the massive exaggerations in several stocks are likely to correct again soon.

Tesla share continues to crash! Volkswagen, BYD, Kodiak Copper, Mercedes - E-mobility in distress?
E-mobiles still account for a single-digit percentage of all vehicles worldwide, but the growth trends speak a clear language: the world will electrify in mobility! Anyone following the price of copper should note one important point - copper is an important industrial metal that is not only used in cars. The biggest consumers are the construction and infrastructure industries. And these sectors are suffering from extreme inflation, high interest rates and the resulting economic decline in demand. For the copper price, of course, this also means no exuberant scarcity at present, and thus falling prices from around USD 5.00 to currently around USD 3.80 per pound. So, as with all commodities, timing in the economic cycle is the key determinant of investment success. Which stocks are in focus now?

Power Nickel, American Lithium, Cameco - Last chance before new wave?
The climate targets have been set, and the energy turnaround must be achieved. After the escalation of the conflict in Eastern Europe, the future must become green even faster to escape dependence on Russian oil and gas. Decarbonization is to succeed alongside the electrification of transport and the significant expansion of renewable energies. To date, it has yet to be precisely analyzed where the required industrial metals and raw materials are to come from. A shortage and, thus, sharply rising prices are pre-programmed. Producers of critical goods, especially from the West, are the clear beneficiaries.
