GSP Resource, Varta, Rio Tinto - The post-fossil age has begun
The phase-out of fossil fuels is already underway. If we want to do something for the climate, this step is unavoidable. The phase-out is to be offset either by nuclear power or renewable energies. In Germany, we are saying goodbye to both nuclear power and fossil fuels. At the same time, the introduction of renewable energies means that more metals are now needed. Whether silver, rare earths, nickel, cobalt or copper - these metals are necessary for technological progress. Copper, in particular, is essential for electrification, and demand is rising steadily. That is due to the growing sales of electric cars, for which more copper is needed than for combustion engines. Today we look at three companies that have a lot to do with copper.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom: Where growth meets low valuations
The climate turnaround is coming, but it will not happen overnight. One raw material that will be needed for a long time to come is oil. OPEC recently increased its demand forecast for 2022 by 4.2 million barrels - every day. The oil companies, which are currently valued low on the stock market, will therefore continue to earn good money for a long time to come. But here, too, the companies with the edge are those that are flexible and have a sustainable focus. We present three stocks.

Barrick Gold, Tembo Gold, Varta - Where is the crisis gold rally?
A lot is going on in the markets. Asia is stumbling; here, the real estate markets had recently euphorically soared, now there are serious concerns. China has been struggling with high vacancy rates in its industrial cities since the pandemic broke out. People have fled the city for fear of infection and returned to the countryside. The resulting de-leveraging puts downward pressure on prices and, ultimately, with interest rates rising slightly, causing significant skewing in a highly leveraged shadow banking world. The imbalance of China Evergrande shows these excesses in pure form. Yesterday, there were wild price falls. The problem: Evergrande has to make high-interest payments, which are due this week. Some investors think back to Lehman Brothers and press the sell button first. What will the Fed say tomorrow in the USA on this subject?

Porsche, Diamcor Mining, Aston Martin - Can it be a little more?
With the stock market upswing between 2015 and 2021, a gigantic shift in wealth took place. 85% of the world's wealth is in the hands of the wealthiest 10%. According to official surveys, just under 57% of people worldwide own assets of less than USD 10,000 - the wealthiest 1% of the earth's population, on the other hand, holds 45% of the assets. In Germany, more than 2 million people live with assets of more than EUR 1 million - in 2010, this figure was still just over 600,000. A nice increase, but luxury is still not only to be found among the wealthy because the desire for extravagance is a widespread character trait and less a question of money.

Newmont, Triumph Gold, Merck KGaA, Fresnillo - Proven crisis protection
Following a historic reform, the DAX leading index now includes 40 companies to present the German economy comprehensively. In addition to the Franco-German aircraft manufacturer Airbus, companies such as the cooking box supplier HelloFresh, Porsche, and the online fashion retailer Zalando will play in the Champions League. The start was bumpy, which was not due to the composition but rather to the looming crisis in China, triggered by the Chinese real estate group Evergrande. Investors are fleeing equities and investing in gold in turbulent times. Historically, this scenario has proven itself many times. But gold is currently also in correction mode! In the long term, hardly anything goes past the precious yellow metal.

LPKF Laser, Almonty Industries, Wacker Chemie - Brilliant growth
During the last TV debate before the federal elections, the topic of climate protection was hotly debated. In her closing statement, the Green Party candidate said that "as Chancellor, she stands for real change, not doing things by halves when it comes to climate protection." Decarbonization must come about as quickly as possible. However, looking at the current stagnation in the expansion of the infrastructure for renewable energies on the one hand and the shortage of raw materials needed for this on the other, one should at least seriously question the ambitious goal.

Aztec Minerals, ThyssenKrupp, TeamViewer - Buy prices?

China Evergrande, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank: What investors need to watch out for now
When the real estate bubble burst in the US more than ten years ago, the crisis was already looming months ahead. Some hedge funds fell to their knees. In addition, there were other indications that only a few market experts heeded. Today, the situation is similar. Many market participants see the fate of the Chinese real estate group Evergrande as an isolated event - similar to the proverbial sack of rice. But the risk of at least a temporary shock is real. We list risks and outline a possible profiteer.

Palantir, AdTiger, Deutsche Bank - The digital revolution is on!
Digitization - for years, this term has been omnipresent in political debates and the subject of what feels like every third talk show. The individual protagonists never tire of emphasizing the countless benefits of digitization. The overriding goal is to further improve the quality of life for everyone and to make education accessible to all. Optimally implemented, this would unleash new economic and ecological potential. The German government is spending more than EUR 5 billion on this in 2021, and digitization has already been a fixed item in companies' spending budgets for years. We take a look at different business models.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - The chip shortage remains
The automotive industry was one of the first to feel the chip shortage. While supply chains typically operate on a just-in-time basis, they had ordered fewer chips due to the Corona Crisis. Then, when it was already too late, they realized that the economy was going unexpectedly well and the chips were running out. However, due to the pandemic, there were restrictions worldwide, so it was impossible to produce and deliver as usual. In addition, the Suez Canal was blocked, and, most recently, a port in China was also completely closed. The supply chains are still disrupted. At the same time, progress goes on and on. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous driving, electrification and co. all require chips. Factories are running at full capacity, and yet demand cannot currently be met. Today we analyze three companies from the chip industry.
