100% opportunities with Nel, Plug Power, Royal Helium - Hydrogen is turning now!

  • Helium

  • greenhydrogen
  • renewableenergies

How will the energy transition in Europe really unfold? Hydrogen is a tricky matter. The raw material is considered an alternative building block for a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Nevertheless, there is a lack of green energy sources for its environmentally friendly production. Even under the best conditions, producing electricity from green hydrogen still costs around twice as much as from oil, coal or natural gas. Since 2022, consumers have had to cope with cost increases of over 50% in energy and are unlikely to be able to use hydrogen in a meaningful way. The necessary decisions for economic implementation, therefore, lie with politicians. H2 shares have lost around 85% in the last 24 months. In addition to a technical rebound in hydrogen, investors should also take a closer look at the technical gas helium.

C3.ai, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Ready for the rebound

  • Technology
  • AI
  • Electromobility
  • Batteries

The major stock market barometers, the DAX and Dow Jones, continue to surge and rush to new highs almost daily. Currently, one of the hottest sectors is the semiconductor industry, which is reporting record figures due to the emergence of artificial intelligence. In contrast, another future topic, electromobility, is currently in correction mode. Market leaders such as Tesla and BYD have seen their stock market value fall dramatically. Currently, it appears that these stocks have found a bottom from which the next upward movement could begin.

Kraken Energy, RWE, Plug Power - Is Germany reconsidering its nuclear phase-out?

  • Mining

  • renewableenergies

  • Uranium

Calls for a U-turn on the nuclear energy issue are getting louder in Germany. Above all, the AfD, the CDU/CSU, and the FDP, as members of the traffic light government, are calling for a resumption of nuclear power generation. In Europe, Germany's energy policy has already caused considerable head-shaking. Nuclear power can shoulder the base load, does not produce CO2 emissions and is cheaper and less volatile than renewable energies. Many countries agree on one thing: we need to move away from fossil fuels. In the Czech Republic, plans are underway to build 4 new nuclear power plants, and in Poland, the Netherlands and Sweden, there is no longer interest in phasing out nuclear power. It will be interesting to see how Germany's struggle for energy develops.

1200% with artificial intelligence, 100% with Bitcoin, and now comes Gold! Barrick, Desert Gold, Aixtron and Super Micro

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • AI
  • Bitcoin

The stock market keeps rising - this is indicated by the ever-new highs of prominent indices such as the NASDAQ 100 or the DAX 40 index. However, a closer look reveals some inconsistencies. For example, only 7% of all traded stocks are currently reaching new highs, while over 60% of all listed stocks are falling. In short, global liquidity is aggregated in just a few blockbuster stocks worldwide, while the rest are being left behind. Such bubbles occurred in 1999, 2007, and 2015, followed by a 25% to 50% correction. No one knows when it will happen again, but the party will likely last a little longer. Gold and Silver have been trending sideways at a high level for the past 3 years, but the yellow metal showed the first signs of life last week. What should investors look out for now?

Uranium with exploding demand! Kraken Energy ideally positioned, hydrogen with Nel ASA and Plug Power in rebound?

  • Mining
  • Uranium
  • Hydrogen
  • climatechange

Some politicians are feverishly dreaming of making energy generation climate-neutral! Those who take a closer look at the matter realize that the speed of adaptation to more sustainable electricity production must be supported by sizeable public investment budgets. In Germany and the EU, so-called eco-taxes are levied on private transport, which are used to finance alternative energy generation. That is the green theory, as expensive environmental projects should benefit the general public. Because the EU recently gave nuclear energy the "green light" in its taxonomy, this form of energy is now coming back into focus. The protagonists of this view are the nuclear power supporters France, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic, with Germany notably staying out of this topic. Worldwide, over 50 reactors are expected to come online in the next few years, and what is needed for that is uranium. Which shares should be in focus now?

Renk, Hensoldt and Desert Gold: Price gains with armaments and gold

  • Gold
  • armaments

German defense stocks are currently in high demand. Rheinmetall shares have already gained 40% in the current year, while Hensoldt achieved a performance of 35% in the first two months of 2024. The figures for 2023 only dampened the mood briefly. What do analysts say about Hensoldt's share price potential? Stock market newcomer Renk still has to establish itself. But the IPO is beginning to bear fruit. Gold shares should also benefit from the global uncertainties. However, the performance of Barrick & Co. in recent years has been disappointing. Desert Gold could become the surprise stock of the year. According to experts, the explorer was the talk of the town at the recently concluded Mining INDABA trade fair in Cape Town, South Africa.

E-mobility versus combustion engines: Tesla and BYD stumble, Mercedes-Benz and Globex Mining in Vogue!

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility

The Tesla plant in Brandenburg is discharging polluted wastewater into the canals. Permissible limits for phosphorus and nitrogen are exceeded by up to six times. Elon Musk has not yet reacted to the accusations, as he is busy planning the expansion of his production facility. If the authorities were to take action here, the plant could also be subject to a production stop until the harmful sources are eliminated. Once again, environmental protection and the climate debate clash with the self-interest of foreign producers seemingly not on the radar of existing EU regulations. The water debate is nothing new. Since the plant in Grünheide went into operation, local communities have had to contend with a drop in the groundwater level because the plant draws an impermissible amount of water. For those finding Tesla unsympathetic due to these issues, look for other opportunities in the automotive sector!

Strong price targets! Super Micro Computer, Bayer, Almonty Industries

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • chemicals
  • AI

Is it time to invest in Super Micro now? Yes, say several experts. Despite the massive price rally, the AI share offers further potential. There are good reasons for this, and the target price is USD 1,300. There are also good reasons for the Almonty Industries share to perform well in 2024 and beyond. The Company focuses on tungsten, a scarce and coveted resource in Europe and North America. Sales and profits are expected to rise sharply, leading to a revaluation of the share. Analysts also see significant potential for Bayer shares. The spin-off of over-the-counter medications, including Aspirin, is expected to drive the share. However, there are some question marks.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Electromobility continues to advance

  • Lithium

The German government's decision to stop the environmental bonus has caused a drastic decline in new registrations of electric cars in Germany. After almost 55,000 battery-powered vehicles in December, the number dropped to 22,500 in the first month of the year. According to ADAC, citing data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, the percentage share of electric vehicles in total new registrations plummeted from 22.6% to 10.5%. By contrast, the situation outside Germany looks considerably more positive. Around 1,120,000 new registrations were registered in the US in 2023, representing a growth of 54%. China remains by far the largest market, with 6.66 million electric vehicles sold, and the growth curve continues to rise at 24%.
