BASF, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Shares that depend on rare earths
The Ukraine crisis has shown us how dependent we are on Russian energy imports. The German government now wants to step on the gas pedal even more for renewable energies. The problem is that new technologies such as electric vehicles or wind turbines almost always require rare earths. But rare earths are not only needed there; the defense industry needs these raw materials to optimize steel or as magnets in a wide variety of weapons technologies. But rare earths are also present in the household, in smartphones, notebooks and many other technological devices. Today we take a look at three companies around rare earths.

Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Formycon, NanoRepro: Top Biotech Stocks - Delivering!
Due to various public easing measures, the Corona pandemic is increasingly fading into the background. It has long been a hot ride for the stock market, especially for vaccine producers, but now investors are shifting their focus to other stocks in the biotech segment. After all, there are still many diseases that confront humanity with unresolved mysteries, and the field of human medical research seems endless. We focus on interesting stocks from the sector, which corrected strongly in the wake of the Ukraine downturn but are now trending north again. These trends are still in their infancy.

K+S, Almonty Industries, Barrick - Full speed ahead!
Across the board, commodity prices are going through the roof. Consumers and industry are already feeling the effects. Some price increases will only hit consumers with a time lag. Inflation, which recently rose above 7% in Germany, appears far from having reached its peak. The beneficiaries of the supply shortage are raw material producers. Their profitability and company valuations should continue to rise.

Millions with innovations: BioNTech, Meta Materials, Varta
When the long-forgotten solar company SolarWorld went public in 1999, n-tv ran commercials that, from today's perspective, looked rather amateurish. At that time, too, only a few private investors were initially convinced by the Company. Years later, SolarWorld was a success story - investors from the very beginning had become rich. Even though the Company filed for insolvency in the meantime and burned a lot of money - SolarWorld investors of the first hour are mostly still wealthy. We explain where innovations can develop blockbuster potential.

NIO, Power Nickel, BYD - Extreme demand despite rising prices
Due to climate change, something historical is taking place in the transport sector: the transformation of fossil-fueled cars to so-called electric vehicles powered by batteries. The growth figures of electric car manufacturers such as Tesla, BYD and NIO are impressive. The trend is only just beginning and is expected to pick up speed significantly in the next 2-3 years. Due to the high demand for battery-powered cars, the raw materials required, such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, are increasing in parallel. Due to the lack of supply, the winners are precisely those producers and exploration companies that are currently, or in the near future, able to supply the scarce commodities.

TUI, Barsele Minerals, BYD: Some stock speculations can be expensive
The question of war and peace leaves many gray areas open. Humanitarian corridors, cease-fires, reduction of military intensity - what these terms truly mean must remain an open question after the events of the past days and weeks. The only thing that is certain is that the world needs time to find a new order after the pandemic, climate change and the war in Europe. Until then, chaos remains. What can investors still rely on in the midst of this chaos? We explain using three stocks as examples.

Plug Power, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, JinkoSolar - Shares for the future
Since the Ukraine crisis at the latest, it has been clear that the energy policy will have to look different in the future. While the end of fossil fuels has been heralded before, the transition must now happen faster than initially planned. Hydrogen could play a major role in heavy-duty transportation and energy-intensive industries. In electricity, renewables such as wind and solar power are expected to play a key role. But there are promising developments not only in the energy sector but also in medical technology. Cancer is on the rise worldwide, and any development that helps fight it is welcome. Today we look at stocks from the hydrogen, medical technology and solar power sectors.

Glencore, Nevada Copper, BASF - Extreme fantasy in these shares
Copper is needed everywhere, especially now due to the energy transition. An electric car, for example, requires up to 4 times more copper than a vehicle with a combustion engine. The production of a wind turbine requires 30 tons of copper per turbine, including a connection to the power grid. Meanwhile, prices are exploding, with 1 ton of the red metal already costing over USD 10,300. The trend is likely to continue in the longer term. The primary beneficiaries of this super cycle, besides copper producers, are attractive exploration companies.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, CureVac - Stocks with blockbuster potential!
With the Ukraine crisis, international vaccination activity has taken a back seat. The world's northern hemisphere is gearing up for next summer, so flu diseases are also slowly taking a back seat. However, the COVID virus will likely continue to mutate over the summer and will reappear in a new guise in the fall. Germany's maximum vaccination rate of 76% has been reached, with just under a quarter of the population ultimately foregoing vaccination after lengthy public measures. For the major biotech companies, it is now a case of - The country needs new products! There are still many areas of application in the field of mRNA. Which stocks stand out with their pipeline?

Is the gas dispute escalating? What are Nel, RWE and First Hydrogen doing?
Germany is preparing for a possible gas shortage with an "early warning" phase. Yesterday, Economics Minister Robert Habeck activated the early warning phase of the so-called Gas Emergency Plan due to a possible deterioration in the supply situation and put together a crisis team. Habeck: "There are currently no supply bottlenecks. Nevertheless, we must increase preventative measures to be prepared in the event of an escalation by Russia." The background to this is Russia's announcement that it will only accept rubles for gas deliveries in the future. Once again, this highlights the urgent need for Germany to become independent of Russian gas supplies. Companies such as the utility RWE and the hydrogen specialists Nel and First Hydrogen are providing support on this path. The shares offer interesting opportunities.
