NIO, Varta, Nevada Copper: Where the best opportunities lurk in the value chain
The theory around value creation is simple: the more a raw material is refined or processed, the greater the margin a company can ultimately achieve. While a kilo of Kobe beef fillet costs around EUR 400, a savvy chef will conjure up ten dishes from it and take in four-figure sums. There are many reasons to invest at the end of the value chain, but the risk also increases. If the chef cannot cook, he will not make sustainable sales even with the best ingredients. The situation is similar in the value chain around electromobility.

BYD, Kleos Space, SAP - The oil of the future!
Data is an extremely important raw material in today's world. Big Data, the evaluation and processing of large amounts of data using artificial intelligence, will almost certainly become one of the hype topics on the markets in the next few years. The development is still in its infancy. However, the enormous growth rates and the need for intelligent data for almost every industry can already be seen in the few listed companies, such as the US data analysis specialist Palantir Technologies. In addition to Palantir, which currently has a market capitalization of almost USD 50 billion, there are smaller players with huge potential.

Steinhoff, Carnival, The Place Holdings - Get in now?
The market wants to go up seemingly endlessly - no more setbacks? The question arises again about the shares that have fallen behind. Some stocks have not yet been swept upwards in the general pull - perhaps for good reason. The stock market currently loves momentum. What rises usually rises further and further. Valuation has long ceased to play a role because with negative interest rates the whole financial theory is somehow undermined. In the past, an interest rate was always assumed to calculate company values or risks, which has been obsolete for 3 years, namely zero.

Barrick Gold, Triumph Gold, Gazprom - Goodbye crypto, the gold rebound is coming!
The investment in precious metals is generally referred to as long-term asset protection. An ounce of gold has gained almost 500% since 2005, and when averaged over a year, this provides a return of 9.6%. Stocks have risen by an average of 9.2% per year since 2009, while bonds, as measured by the Bund future, are trading at a 100-year high with negative yields and a negative interest rate in real terms. Real estate in good locations has more than tripled in value over the past 20 years. The inclined observer asks himself today, with which assets can one still achieve a real increase in wealth? Away from the capital markets, we recommend selected paintings and sprightly vintage cars, but 5-10% should flow into gold and silver, in part physically too, of course.

Aurelius, Deutsche Rohstoff, Mutares - Lighthouses
What do lighthouses have to do with investment decisions? Seafarers have always used lighthouses to determine their position to avoid dangers and shoals, among other things. Historians name the Egyptian Pharos of Alexandria as the oldest lighthouse in the world. If one transfers the important orientation function to investment decisions, renowned investors can represent these lighthouses. In the following, we present three companies that have repeatedly demonstrated a good nose as holding or investment companies.

Infineon, Airbus, Lufthansa, Almonty Industries - High-tech is the bottleneck!
In order to limit global warming, the world must become climate-neutral. For this, it will require removing billions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it. Meanwhile, the Corona pandemic raises entirely different problems. Planned investments in research and development cannot be carried out as planned due to a lack of raw materials and the supply of certain necessary resources. Primarily, this affects high-tech manufacturers, but even basic technologies can only be developed with difficulty. We shed light on the facets of an economy trying to move a great deal, but with a giant brake block in front of it.

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, FuelCell Energy - Hydrogen, the second wave!
The hydrogen hype is entering its second wave. The reason is undoubtedly the current draft resolution of the Joe Biden package in favor of the global climate goals. This package contains an investment sum of several hundred billion US dollars to lower climate damaging emissions. The market will decide whether battery or hydrogen technology will play a greater role here; the only important thing is that the funds for the start of the research projects are released quickly. Time is pressing because the pandemic has put many industries on the sidelines. The transport industry, in particular, depends on the sale of goods, and in the future, this should take place without any negative environmental impact.

Plug Power, Blackrock Silver, Nordex - Right on trend!
Historically, silver, along with gold, has been considered a safe haven and protection against inflation. The precious metal is gaining more and more importance due to renewable energies in industrial production. Currently, silver is correcting, but in the long run, the prospects are extremely positive. Strongly rising public debts worldwide, unprecedented support measures of central banks and governments, and increasing concerns about high inflation are undoubtedly good arguments. In addition, there is an enormous demand in the electromobility sector and the photovoltaic industry.

Volkswagen, Rock Tech Lithium, NIO - It is getting dramatic for Germany!
Metal processing industries and steel manufacturers in Germany are increasingly reporting delivery problems and rising costs resulting from significantly increasing raw material prices. Due to the strong growth in demand resulting from the energy transition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure the supply of raw materials in the long term. The dependence on China, which currently has a virtual monopoly on many metals, has been evident for a long time. As early as 2008, the then German President Horst Köhler called for a raw materials strategy for the Federal Republic. Little has happened since then, but the bottleneck is steadily approaching. According to the motto of a former SPD politician: "Germany is doing away with itself."
