The new formula – How Silver Viper is opening an exciting new chapter with strategic partners and an operational focus
In the high-risk world of commodity exploration, it is rare to find a path that maximizes opportunities and intelligently diversifies risk. This is precisely the path that Silver Viper Minerals is pursuing. Instead of focusing on a single project, the Company is developing three promising assets in parallel in Mexico's best mining regions. The key to this transformation is a strategic partnership with industry giant Fresnillo, a massive drilling program at the flagship La Virginia project, and a newly secured capital base.

Antimony shock for Airbus and BASF: China's export restrictions make Antimony Resources a strategic winner
2025 will go down in economic history as the year when a largely unknown semi-metal sent global industry into a state of alert. Antimony, long overshadowed by popular battery metals such as lithium and cobalt, suddenly emerged as one of the most strategically critical and supply-constrained metals. Aggressive export restrictions imposed by China, which historically controlled over 80% of global processing capacity, have put Western supply chains under significant pressure. What market observers refer to as the "antimony shock" is no longer a theoretical threat, but a harsh economic reality. According to industry analyses, market participants were already talking about significant supply deficits in 2025 – estimates are in the high five-digit ton range. We analyze the market and present a potential beneficiary.

Polymetallic treasure discovered – Power Metallic Mines with massive potential
Electrification, the energy transition, defense spending, and digitalization are structurally driving up demand for conductive and critical metals. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and fragile supply chains are intensifying competition for reliable sources of raw materials. North America is increasingly coming into focus as a secure counterweight. It is precisely in this environment that Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself, with one of the most promising polymetallic exploration projects on the continent.

Demand trends for energy remain strong, but ultimately it is price that matters – American Atomics, Siemens Energy, and RWE are benefiting!
Shares in the energy and raw materials sectors were good investments last year. This trend is continuing in the first few weeks of the new year. The strong growth in demand for electricity, driven in part by AI and electromobility, is structural and sustained. Important aspects in this context are the availability of energy and infrastructure and, crucially, the price. The price of electricity is becoming increasingly important as a competitive factor. Who has the most convincing answers to the challenges of the present and the future?

CEO Buys Big – Almonty Turns into a Raw-Material Weapon Against China
Without tungsten, many key industries would grind to a halt. The transition metal is indispensable for armaments, semiconductors, aerospace, and is now moving further into the center of strategic interests with fusion research. At the same time, China controls over 80% of global supply and is tightening its export restrictions. The West is desperately seeking alternatives. This is precisely where Almonty Industries positions itself as one of the largest non-Chinese tungsten producers. The stock is receiving additional attention due to significant insider purchases by CEO Lewis Black - a signal that investors should not ignore.

Multibagger potential: Antimony Resources! Perfect setup - Sought-after critical metal in a large, high-grade, strategically important property
Geopolitical uncertainties and the race for secure supply chains are turning critical raw materials into a strategic priority. One metal that has so far received little attention is increasingly coming into focus: antimony. It is essential for defense, semiconductors, specialty alloys, and flame retardants. Antimony Resources is developing Bald Hill in New Brunswick, home to the largest known antimony deposit in North America. Recently published drilling data showing high-grade mineralization underscores the project's potential. The data already suggest that the size of the indicated resources could expand soon. All these factors could become strong drivers for the share price!

Armored steel meets swarm intelligence: Why Rheinmetall and Hensoldt must retool - and why NEO Battery Materials could become a hidden winner of the drone war
The war in Ukraine has shattered military doctrines that were considered irrefutable in NATO headquarters for decades within a matter of months. The shocking realization: even the most modern battle tank is an easy target for a drone that costs less than a tank of fuel for the colossus. We are witnessing a tectonic shift in warfare away from classic weapons such as tanks and howitzers toward asymmetric threats that are decided by software, sensors, and, above all, range. In this new environment, established defense giants such as Rheinmetall and Hensoldt must reinvent themselves to avoid becoming obsolete. But while these corporations are slow to turn their tankers around, NEO Battery Materials is positioning itself as an agile player at the critical interface of modern warfare: batteries for drone swarms, independent of Chinese supply chains.

Black Monday: Despite Greenland disputes, tariffs, and Mercosur, biotech is on the rise! Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Novo Nordisk in focus
The stock market has had a very volatile start to 2026. Now, due to the unresolved Greenland issue, punitive tariffs are even being reintroduced for European countries that wish to stick with the Danish administration. Questions of international law did not impact the stock market in any of the conflicts of 2025. What usually receives a lot of attention, however, are shrinking margins caused by artificial tariffs. Just as the EU had been patting itself on the back over the Mercosur agreement, the next Trump-style threat is looming. The biotech sector is advancing steadily and with considerable momentum. Can the life sciences leaders outperform the DAX?

The Netflix of car washing: How Mister Car Wash is reinventing the market, and WashTec is sounding the charge against Dover
The North American vehicle care market is currently undergoing a development that, in its radical consequences, is reminiscent of the transformation of the software industry ten years ago. The old model of weather-dependent individual car washes, where revenue falls when it rains, is being replaced by the predictable profitability of the "subscription economy." This trend is being driven by the phenomenal success of the US chain Mister Car Wash, which has proven that Americans are willing to sign up for a monthly subscription for clean cars, similar to streaming services. But this gold rush is putting massive technological pressure on gas station operators and independent car washes. They have to upgrade to stay competitive. In this battle for infrastructure supremacy, German hidden champion WashTec is now challenging US market leader Dover Corporation on its home turf. The Augsburg-based company supplies precisely the digital technology that enables the broader market to copy Mister Car Wash's successful model – and could thus shift the balance of power in the industry in the long term.

Explosive mix: Critical metals and e-mobility! BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy, and RENK in focus
E-mobility in Germany could gain fresh momentum in 2026, as the CDU wing of the federal government is pushing for the reintroduction of purchase incentives for electric vehicles, retroactively including those registered since the beginning of the year. There is still a need for discussion within the SPD due to other issues. German citizens are familiar with the nerve-wracking process of reaching compromises in Berlin, where a new law can only be passed with five other concessions to the coalition partner. This is how grand coalitions work: slowly and tenaciously. Regardless, the public has become accustomed to this carnival event, and for us, stock market traders, it is important to look at the possible effects of such subsidy decisions. According to estimates from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, available funding could support the purchase of up to 800,000 electric vehicles - roughly 1.6% of all registered vehicles in Germany. The planned incentives aim primarily to ease the transition to e-mobility for low- and middle-income households. Do not look a gift horse in the mouth! How are automotive stocks doing on the stock market?
