The 2024 share rocket without e-funding - BYD, Defense Metals, Porsche and Volkswagen
With the supplementary budget 2023, the fate of the e-funding was sealed. On December 16, the purchase premium hammer came down in an "ad hoc announcement" from Berlin: The funding of up to EUR 4,500 for the purchase of a new e-vehicle has expired with immediate effect. This was announced by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The deadline for applying for the funding ended on December 17, 2023, meaning that e-mobility is now a thing of the past. Only the reduced tax rate under the company car scheme and the general exemption from vehicle tax remain. Consumer advocates are complaining about the unequal treatment of different mobility concepts that have prevailed for years, and the Federal Constitutional Court will likely have to deal with this issue in due course. Time for investors to rethink - where are the opportunities in the investment year 2024?

Edison Lithium, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen - Electric car premium cancelled: What now?
While electric cars are gaining ground worldwide, the German federal government has decided to end the environmental bonus for electric vehicles. New applications are no longer possible, leading to uncertainty about the future of the e-car market in Germany. This puts the target of 15 million electric cars by 2030 in jeopardy. We will, therefore, look at two of the leading car manufacturers in Germany and analyze what impact this decision will have. We will also look at Edison Lithium, a company that can provide the critical raw materials for electric vehicles. The demand for lithium and cobalt will increase significantly in the coming years.

Forward into the Future of Energy: Investing strategically with BASF, Blackrock Silver and JinkoSolar
At BASF, CEO Martin Brudermüller will hand over the chairmanship of the Board of Executive Directors to Markus Kamieth after the Annual General Meeting in April 2024. The Company is facing challenges in the global energy market due to its long dependence on Russian gas. Kamieth has extensive experience in Asian business and navigates diplomacy between the Far East and the West. Those who prefer to invest directly in commodities will find what they are looking for at Blackrock Silver. It is a promising explorer focusing on gold, silver and lithium, making it an attractive option for investors. With successful drilling and an impressive track record in the US state of Nevada, the Company has already achieved success. Pioneers in RE technology can be found in the Chinese market in particular. The abundance of raw materials in the country plays a decisive role here. JinkoSolar, for instance, focuses on intelligent energy storage solutions in China. The recently implemented 42 MWh storage system in Yunnan, China, demonstrates technological innovation, especially in grid expansion and network security. Given China's focus on renewable energies, BASF's focus on Asia and the increasing demand for sought-after raw materials, investors should keep a close eye on these developments - further details in this article.

After the COP28 Climate Conference: Hydrogen, solar or oil? Plug Power, Nucera, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar in focus
It could have gone better! The COP28 Climate Conference in Dubai is over, the results sobering for many, for others within the realm of expectations. While large parts of the world are calling for a stricter approach to reducing fossil fuels, the countries in the Gulf region want to continue their successful business model of the last 150 years. Oil is not going out of fashion, and its production will continue to be abundant and delivered to buyers through various channels. Hydrogen and solar energy, like wind power, are essential energy sources, but they will not replace existing structures; at best, they will supplement them. Even nuclear energy, which has been widely frowned upon, is now seen as a climate solution by countries such as Poland, France and Finland and is being drastically expanded. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, BYD - Greener driving, the new era of transportation technology
Reducing emissions from driving is crucial in the fight against climate change and air pollution. Large diesel engines in trucks, buses and industrial applications contribute significantly to the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter. Hydrogen and electric drives are seen as promising solutions for a low-emission future, although each technology has specific advantages and disadvantages. A coexisting application of both systems could enable the optimal reduction of emissions. However, there is still a long way to go. It will take years to build up the necessary infrastructure. There are already technologies available to reduce emissions today. We look at one company from each sector.

New share price horror at Bayer, price explosion at CropEnergies and GoviEx Uranium
CropEnergies shareholders were treated to a real treat yesterday, December 20. The share price rose by almost 70% to EUR 11.50. The parent company, Südzucker, wants to completely take over the biofuel producer. What do analysts say about the deal? Experts remain negative on Bayer. The Leverkusen-based company is one of the weakest DAX shares in 2023 and, according to analysts, could fall further to EUR 25. Are additional fines looming in the US? In contrast, the price of uranium is robust. The Climate Conference in Dubai once again confirmed that many countries worldwide are relying heavily on nuclear energy. The GoviEx Uranium share should benefit from this trend in the coming year. The capital requirement has been covered, and the share has a 30% upside potential in the initial phase.

Renewable Energy in Focus: First Hydrogen, Siemens Energy and Volkswagen present groundbreaking technologies - Which share leads the way?
Renewable energy is increasingly taking center stage for investors. Companies like First Hydrogen are setting new standards by developing advanced hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles. However, the figures have to be right. While Siemens Energy struggles with the challenges in the energy sector, a large proportion of the Company's shares are being shifted to the pension fund, which could have severe consequences for investors and employees. On the other hand, Volkswagen is responding to the German government's austerity measures. It is taking over the previous state's share of the environmental bonus for electric vehicles as a goodwill gesture. However, this seems to be merely a gesture in light of the Company's restructuring program that is launching in Germany. These developments shed light on technological advancements and business adaptations in the era of green transformation.

Shares for 2024: TUI in travel boom, Pfizer with monster dividend, Almonty Industries receives millions from Germany
Three shares from three different sectors and countries: TUI, Pfizer, and Almonty Industries. Are they among the top performers in 2024? At least there are good reasons for a turnaround in all of them. At TUI, the turnaround seems to have already begun. Will it continue? Almonty Industries is facing a decisive year. With the help of Germany's KfW, a massive tungsten mine in South Korea is set to go into operation in 2024. If this succeeds, turnover and profits will likely multiply in the coming years. Like so many Corona winners, Pfizer shares have suffered withdrawal symptoms this year. Will the pharmaceutical giant get back on track in 2024 after hitting a ten-year low? In any case, the dividend yield of 6% is attractive.

COP28 a toothless tiger? Nel ASA, Klimat X, Nvidia, and Plug Power in the climate change check!
Another earth-shattering climate conference is behind us. The outcome was as sobering as it was predictable. Around 200 countries were able to agree on measures to reduce fossil fuels, but the Gulf states insisted on their right to continue the business model of oil and gas production that has been successful for decades. This makes it clear that the availability of fossil fuels will continue on a large scale because the BRICS states, such as Russia, China, India and Brazil, will continue to exploit their fossil resources unabated. Incidentally, international conflicts only work with fuels and not with battery-powered drives. So, if you consider the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East with their accompanying environmental destruction, there is no need to invent bans on European diesel vehicles. However, there are a few glimmers of hope for a greener future...

Boom market for renewable energies - thyssenkrupp nucera, Globex Mining, Energiekontor
One week before Christmas, presents are still being handed out on the stock market. Several companies from the renewable energies sector, which has suffered in this stock market year, reported strong quarterly figures and positive outlooks. Due to the significantly lower prices, hydrogen, wind, and solar power offer attractive entry opportunities for the coming year. One thing is sure: in Germany in particular, politicians will do everything they can to ensure that alternative energy sources become a long-term success.
