Kodiak Copper, Nordex, BYD - Are raw materials becoming scarce?
The Institute of the German Economy has presented a study on the raw material situation of the Bavarian economy. However, it can be assumed that the results will also apply to the rest of the world. As a result of the new technologies currently finding their way into the automotive industry, the demand for certain raw materials increases significantly. A total of 22 commodities are considered very risky. Copper is only ranked 23rd, but the study underlines the importance of the raw material for electrification in many areas of industry. If demand continues to grow strongly, there is a procurement risk for the German industry - a good reason to take a look at three companies that operate with copper.

NEL, dynaCERT, Plug Power, FuelCell Energy - An explosive scenario for hydrogen in 2022!
In 2021, the "hydrogen" topic was played exclusively on the stock exchange. Much advance praise was given to an industry that has to fight for future budgets with a broad consensus favoring e-mobility. But with the tightening of climate targets in the EU, North America and Asia, the H2 issue is taking on new relevance. If it is not the propulsion systems, hydrogen is particularly suitable in decentralized energy supply, high-tech industry and even for electricity storage of surplus green energy. Should the efficiency of green hydrogen production increase, H2 would be a good energy store because it can be transported over long distances without significant losses. The same cannot be said of power transmission in overhead lines. We evaluate the opportunities of individual players.

BioNTech, Novavax, Cardiol Therapeutics: This pandemic profiteer is as cheap as can be
Omicron is coming; that much seems certain. But what does the virus mean for the stock market? Currently, the forecasts of the modelers are dominating the news. While some see it as scaremongering, others consider epidemiological models a rational approximation of what we face. Like a crystal ball, so to speak, but without the hocus-pocus. To assess the situation as an investor, it makes sense to assume neither the best nor the worst. We analyze the current viral situation and explain what this could mean for typical Corona stocks.

Infineon, Saturn Oil + Gas, S&T - A lot of movement at the end of the year
A lot is happening in the last stock market days of 2021. Fears of further lockdowns due to the Omicron variant are weighing on the markets, as are concerns about interest rate hikes in the near future. As a result, the DAX is denied a final spurt towards 16,000 points. The oil price is also consolidating due to the economic risks resulting from possible imminent lockdowns. Finally, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan caused a drumbeat by introducing several measures to prevent further dollarization of the economy. He succeeded in the short term, with the Turkish lira recovering by around 30% within minutes.

Varta, Graphano Energy, JinkoSolar: Is the climate turnaround off?
New technology offers excellent growth potential. One just has to think of smartphones, tablets or e-cars. Today, numerous electric cars line the roads. A few years ago, electrically powered vehicles were the exception rather than the rule, and passersby would stare at the silent vehicles. By 2030, combustion engines will be the exception. We will outline what this means for investors using three stocks as examples.

Alibaba, MAS Gold, TeamViewer - The rockets for the turn of the year!
The big correction in tech stocks has now taken on a decent scale by the end of the year. Some titles came under the wheels. Also, the gold price has not recovered adequately from its decline at USD 1,950 in January. The reasons are manifold. Tech stocks have been the top performers on investor lists for three years. Now, minor earnings disappointments are sometimes punished with a major wave of selling, but some stocks seem to be settling at the crushed level. We take a closer look!

Kinross Gold, Almonty Industries, K+S - Is rising inflation the trigger for commodity stocks?
Two topics are currently occupying the markets: the impact of the new Corona Omicron variant on global supply chains and the further course of inflation. Experts disagree on both topics. While everyone assumes that the Omicron variant will lead to another global wave, most experts now see the supply chains as so stable that a fundamental disruption is now virtually impossible as was at the beginning of the pandemic. Concerning inflation, there are increasing voices that this should not be regarded as merely temporary. That should drive commodity stocks.

Steinhoff, Alerio Gold, TUI - Cheap does not have to be cheap
Everyone is probably familiar with the situation where you have bought something cheaply and are annoyed afterward that you did not invest a little more money because repairs are constantly needed or similar difficulties arise. So cheap can become expensive in the long run. Shares below EUR 10 usually seem reasonable, but this conclusion can be deceptive. Even expensive stocks are not automatically better. Whether a security has potential can only be judged after reviewing the fundamental data, the news situation, and the industry analysis of a company. A chart analysis at the end often gives an interested investor an accurate picture of whether a stock is actually lucrative. Today, we take a close look at three inexpensive stocks in this regard.

Troilus Gold, Valneva, Moderna, BioNTech - Where will these stocks be in 2022?
The winners in the 2021 investment year have undeniably been the hydrogen, lithium and vaccine stocks. They temporarily gained up to 2,000% but also corrected by more than 50% in some cases. These value developments were not always fundamentally justified. Often the assumption of future achievements was sufficient for a corresponding positive development. In the case of the vaccine manufacturers, the stock market players' fantasies were fulfilled; in the case of hydrogen, this statement was valid at least for a 3-month window at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, the year was disappointing for most gold explorers, as the precious yellow metal was unable to capitalize on the great uncertainty since the outbreak of the pandemic with a price increase. But this could change in 2022 ad hoc!

Standard Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - The super battery for 2022!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments are looking for a suitable energy storage device. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. More environmentally friendly battery production processes are required to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, as well as a significant increase in performance with a simultaneous extension of service life. After all, what good is it if a vehicle eliminates emissions during operation but creates multiple pollutions during production and disposal of the energy cell? We highlight some of the companies at the heart of the technical revolution.
