Central African Gold, Nordex, Varta - Performers for the second half of the year!
Climate and energy transition are more than just buzzwords. They affect us all to an ever increasing extent. The production of green energy and the currently also politically favored spread of electric mobility place considerable demands on the availability of raw materials, the sufficient production of green energy and the existence of an area-wide infrastructure. As steering mechanisms, states offer extensive support measures. A market for emission certificates creates incentives as well. It is also important to keep an eye on the development of increasingly stringent ESG standards in the investment sector. Companies that do not do their homework will sooner or later lose out. These three companies have the potential to profit from the energy transition. Who will win the race?

Huge opportunities at Steinhoff, Saturn Oil + Gas, MorphoSys
The second-quarter reporting season is drawing to a close and was exceptionally strong. Earnings estimates had already been raised in the run-up to the quarter and were even exceeded again due to the economic recovery following the disastrous Corona year 2020. Looking at the forecasts of most companies for the full year, these were also raised. As a result, some stocks are facing a revaluation that the broader market has yet to realize.

Teck Resources, GSP Resource, Standard Lithium: Thinking of the good times
The summer has caused a lethargic mood on the stock market. There are inflation concerns, and also, the pandemic is again leading to many hospitalizations in many countries. Nevertheless, the markets seem to have weathered the worst. The closer we get to fall, the more likely future issues will dominate the market again. Whenever issues of mobility or regenerative energy come up, commodities also come into play. We take a look at three shares related to popular commodities.

wallstreet:online AG, AMC, GameStop, Robinhood - The hunting season has begun!
As of September 20, the DAX, like its French counterpart CAC, will be expanded to 40 stocks, which means that 10 new stocks will move into the focus of major fund managers. One or the other may have been surprised by this decision because, after all, Germany's 30 most valuable companies have reflected the development of the German economy very well for decades. However, international investors and funds appreciate more diversity, especially sector diversification. It is also hoped that the new insolvency clause will mean that criminal incidents, such as those involving Wirecard, will not have to be discussed at index level for long and will continue to affect derived derivatives for months afterward. Entry and exit criteria are also to change, from now on, minimum liquidity counts instead of trading turnover, and the Corporate Governance Code will become binding from September 2022. Modernization has been long overdue since Wirecard.

LVMH, Diamcor Mining, Daimler: Enduring stocks from the luxury segment
Fancy watches, sparkling necklaces or a classy bag - in dreary times, people with money like to enjoy luxury items. Even though the Corona Crisis initially hurt the industry - after all, luxury goods are typically purchased while traveling - the sector is once again on the upswing. Asian customers, in particular, are keen to treat themselves. China's emerging middle class is so large that even large luxury companies are ringing the cash register. We take a look at three shares from the sector.

Orocobre, Kodiak Copper, Infineon Technologies - Good for the climate, even better for your portfolio
Heat records and droughts on the one hand and heavy rainfall and flooding on the other - climate change is no longer an abstract threat but a reality. Speculating about the causes is idle. It is more important to tackle the problem. Phasing out coal-fired power generation by 2038? Much too late, experts criticize. And politicians are also slowly realizing that it is already five to twelve. That is why they are really stepping on the gas! We need to say goodbye to the combustion engine, decarbonize industrial production, and expand renewable energy sources. But this requires certain raw materials. Here are three companies with a bright future ahead of them.

BioNTech, XPhyto, Moderna - Boosters for the portfolio
Globally, infection numbers are rising dramatically due to the highly contagious Delta variant. According to the RKI, 12,626 new infections were reported in Germany alone, 4,226 more than a week ago. With the incidence rising above the authoritative level of 35, greater emphasis is again being placed on the rule, vaccinated, recovered or tested. As a result, demand for PCR or rapid tests is skyrocketing. Diagnostic companies, like vaccine producers, are in for a warm cash shower.

Alibaba, AdTiger, Baidu - Advertising market in digital transformation
With the success of the Internet, there have been numerous shifts in analog advertising. Print sales are steadily declining because people are looking more and more to the Internet for information. Nowadays, younger people look more at their smartphones or tablets than at the TV. Efforts are being made to better integrate TV programming with content from the Internet because advertising is most profitable where people spend the most time. In Asia, in particular, companies are very progressive in the field of digital advertising. Therefore, we look at three companies from the Far East that have brought the advertising market to the Internet.

Pure Extraction, Nikola, SFC Energy - Is Elon Musk wrong with his hydrogen forecast?
On the subject of eMobility, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Automotive, takes a clear position: In the future, cars and transport vehicles will be electric, and the energy they need will come from batteries. Any other solution is unthinkable for him, as he recently let slip in a mocking remark when asked about hydrogen as a fuel. But even Elon Musk is not always right. Many respected scientists around the world recognize the advantages of hydrogen technology. Particularly in combination with a fuel cell, the advantages of rapid refueling and trouble-free gas transport to even the remotest corners of the earth do not seem to be underestimated. These stocks benefit from the triumph of hydrogen technology!

NanoRepro, Aztec Minerals, Xiaomi - The tension is rising
On Friday, the US Federal Reserve symposium gets underway in Jackson Hole. The strong recovery of the economy after the Corona lockdowns and the strong pick-up in inflation pointed to an end of unlimited bond purchases and the first interest rate hikes. But FED Chairman Jerome Powell sees the rise as temporary and is likely to be right. Rising infection figures due to the highly contagious Delta variant are throwing a spanner in the works of further economic growth. Thus, both Jackson Hole and the upcoming FED meeting are likely to be a non-event.
