AngloGold Ashanti, Blackrock Gold, Newmont: Investing in gold - but how?
Gold investors are in a comfortable situation: The precious metal has lost a little from its highs, but still shows excellent relative strength at the USD 1,900 an ounce mark. Although news of vaccines has taken some pressure off the markets in the short term, the big picture for gold investors remains intact. The crisis of the century requires trillion-dollar measures. This flood of money, in turn, increases the risk of further problems and could drive inflation. Contrary to the opinion of many investors, it is not inflation that drives the gold price, but their expectations. Given the measures already taken and those still in the pipeline by governments and central banks, there is every reason for increased inflationary expectations. But how does an investment in the expected gold boom succeed?
While grandmother still hid bars and coins under the bed, today's investors can resort to gold ETCs. These usually securitize physical gold and can also be held in custody at attractive fees and actively traded. Yield hunters nevertheless prefer to use gold shares. The reason: stocks such as AngloGold Ashanti, Blackrock Gold or Newmont usually offer leverage on the gold price. Depending on how a Company develops, the gold reserves in the ground are also valued.

Alibaba, wallstreet:online, Software AG - continued strong growth!
The results of online companies have just exploded during the Corona Pandemic. In addition to e-commerce giants such as Alibaba, Amazon and the German fashion retailer Zalando, other online industries also reported record results. Without a doubt, the profiteers were online brokers. On the one hand, sales increased exorbitantly due to the high fluctuation range of the stock exchanges and, on the other hand, many new customers became interested in stock exchange trading.

NIO, Tesla, dynaCERT - Mobilizing the future!
The good news for automotive suppliers is that electric vehicles still only make up a small percentage of the car market - at least for now. The bad news is that the increasing spread of electric cars is a significant challenge for automotive suppliers. Since these cars have far fewer parts than those with conventional combustion engines, manufacturers of exhaust and fuel systems as well as traditional transmissions are facing significant disruptions as e-mobility takes unexpected steps forward. The crux of the matter for electricians is still the availability of charging stations and the limited mobility radius. But this will soon change rapidly once the Corona aid pots are flowing into the green infrastructure.
Nevertheless, the e-vehicle is being fueled by government emission standards and incentives, especially in the USA, England, France, Germany and China. But the battery-powered vehicles will not pose a significant threat to the combustion engines until operating costs are about the same. In especially more impoverished areas of the planet and inaccessible zones, there is no alternative to the internal combustion engine; this is completely ignored in the public discussion. While the cost of e-cars continues to fall as technology improves, they are still far from being competitive. Nevertheless, if you look at the signs of the times, car companies have already invested billions in electro-related technology, so the course for the future is set.

SIXT, Nikola, Newlox Gold: New ways to higher returns
Successful companies often do things a little differently than their competitors. Sometimes it takes a while for an approach that is ridiculed at the beginning, to be approved, be successful and then copied. SIXT, for example, saw itself as a mobility service provider early on. The car rental Company operates in many areas and also offers leasing and used cars. Although business at the airports has mostly come to a standstill, SIXT is rightly considered flexible enough to be able to meet new requirements. The Company drastically reduced its vehicle fleet after the outbreak of the pandemic. SIXT will continue to invest in digital business models in the future, such as a monthly car subscription. This approach means that the share is now doing comparatively well again after a slump in March. The Company is not a crisis winner, but it does have a future.

Saturn Oil & Gas, Petrochina, XPENG: Ready for take-off!
A key finding of a study conducted by the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy shows that the older generation is more willing to make sacrifices for the climate than the younger generation. Older people are more sustainable when it comes to specific products and their usage behaviour. 88% of those over 30 want to use their things "as long as possible" - that is 9 percentage points more than younger adults.
Conversely, 18% of those under 30 say that it is essential for them to have the latest products. That is 8 percentage points more than among older age groups. The researchers evaluated the representative surveys according to the age of the respondents - with a clear result: thanks to the bank, older people are more environmentally conscious than the younger generation. The throw-away society is thus a manifestation of time and a sign of abundance. It is clear that such trends call for Greta movements in particular, and the economists among us are well aware that growth means sacrifice, and that in most cases that "little bit more" is at the expense of our planet.

BYD, Upco International, Moderna: bet on the winners!
Who will win the race for the fastest and best vaccine against the Coronavirus? After the first test results, specific trends are emerging. It is clear now, driven by news, large fluctuations and thus high price gains are possible. The overall stock market seems not to care about this, just that a vaccine will be available soon, is enough. After a short correction, the trend goes south again. The market could see significantly higher prices next year.

Adidas, RYU Apparel, Puma: Rising returns
It is not always high-tech shares or highly speculative investments with which an investor can generate high returns. Those investors who have patience and foresight have been able to look forward to a number of share price multiplications at many sporting goods manufacturers in recent years. There is no standard success formula for the participants such as Nike, Adidas, Under Armour or Puma. The developments have not been without their setbacks. Investors should pay attention to newcomers in the industry with innovative approaches.

Velocity Minerals, B2Gold, Delivery Hero: We take up the fight!
The news of a vaccine against Corona with a success rate of 90% caused markets to skyrocket since last Monday. While the Dow Jones and the S&P set 500 new records, gold plummeted by as much as USD 118 in one day. Gold's most significant daily drop in more than seven years also wiped out its breakout from a 3-month downward wedge last Friday.
As gold futures closed below USD 1,890 this week on the Comex, the strong sell-off below this support brings with it the possibility that the zone between USD 1,750 and USD 1,800 will be tested again before the correction of the safe-haven metal's large gains finds a significant bottom. The gold futures base of USD 1,800 has technically become a critical support level, an area that dates back to the bull market of 2008.

Varta, Royal Helium, Deutsche Telekom - Buy the future!
When it comes to the DAX, the first thing to do is to take a breather. After the brilliant Biden-BioNTech rally, the leading German index started to move south. And today, not only did companies listed on the DAX release encouraging quarterly figures but companies like Merck and Siemens, Deutsche Telekom, in particular, raised its forecast. Also, in the segments below, there were spectacular figures. After the setback in the markets, there are some buying opportunities here.
