Biotech - Here we go! 100% opportunities for Evotec, BioNxt, Bayer, Formycon, and Novo Nordisk!
Last week, the DAX 40 index reached a new all-time high of 21,520 points. At first glance, this sounds odd because half of the stocks are languishing at multi-year lows. However, the driving forces are the heavyweights SAP, Siemens, Allianz, Airbus, and Deutsche Telekom. They are pushing the index upward daily, putting ETF fund managers under pressure as they have to adjust the weightings accordingly. However, the more capital flows into the leading stocks, the more investors are looking for lagging stocks that could successfully turn the chart around due to operational turning points. We select a few opportunity stocks.

RWE, F3 Uranium, Nel ASA – New energy policy under Trump! Who benefits?
While former President Biden worked towards climate policy goals, Donald Trump is taking a different approach. His primary goal is to boost the economy, and the best way to do that is to make energy affordable. He wants to increase drilling for fossil fuels in order to lower energy prices. This puts pressure on renewable energies, especially wind power. Solar energy remains part of the energy mix. Nuclear power is gaining in importance. By 2050, nuclear power capacity is to be tripled, partly through the use of small modular reactors. This should improve the CO2 balance. In the hydrogen sector, the focus could be on blue hydrogen due to increased natural gas production.

Novo Nordisk, Desert Gold Ventures, Palantir – AI madness, Trump fuels the gold rush
Things have been moving at a rapid pace since the old and new President of the United States, Donald Trump, took office. Around 80 decrees were signed on the first working day alone. One of the Republican's goals is to make the US the "global hub for crypto and artificial intelligence". With the commitment of over USD 500 billion for the largest AI project in history, the industry is likely to face further appreciation. The price of gold has also increased, and it is now approaching the magic mark of USD 3,000 per ounce. In this context, producers and exploration companies are now likely to tap into their catch-up potential.

Volkswagen, Nova Pacific Metals, D-Wave Quantum – Is a trade war about to break out?
Donald Trump is the new president of the United States of America, and he is moving at a rapid pace. On his first day, he issued several decrees, and his inaugural address was also impactful. He announced tariffs on imports. Goods from Mexico and Canada will be subject to 25% customs duties. And tariffs of up to 60% are being considered for products from China. If the US isolates itself like this, China, in particular, could significantly restrict its raw material exports, and the trade war would be officially underway. The race for critical raw materials has already begun. Trump has already put out feelers to Greenland and Canada. Where will high-tech industries source their raw materials from in the future?

Better than Nvidia! Vistra, Siemens Energy, Nordex, XXIX Metal
With a gain of 264%, Vistra Energy outshone Nvidia in 2024. Who would have thought that a "boring" stock could increase tenfold in less than four years. But the stock is benefiting massively from the AI hype. The same goes for the German company Siemens Energy. Both are still unstoppable in the new year. At the beginning of the energy value chain, commodity stocks have catch-up potential. One promising stock is XXIX Metal. The Company focuses on copper in Canada and has takeover potential. The stock has also been listed in Frankfurt since this month and recently published positive results. Nordex could become a Trump loser. US business accounts for a noticeable share of the bulging order book. What happens next?

Top performers wanted! Nel ASA, First Nordic Metals, thyssenkrupp and Agnico-Eagle
With rising inflation since 2021, the price of gold has also risen significantly. Over the last 20 years, resourceful investors have always been able to compensate for the loss of purchasing power with an average return of a good 8.5% per year. The crux of the matter is that one could not trade the ups and downs in precious metals because only long-term holders can look back on gold prices around USD 500 in 2005. Today, 20 years later, new highs of USD 2,788 have already been reached. Agnico-Eagle is one of the most successful mines in the world, with its shares almost doubling in the last 12 months. Things have been going equally well for Agnico's partner, the explorer First Nordic Metals. A closer analysis reveals even more ideas for boosting your portfolio.

Almonty, Rheinmetall, Palantir - Strategic decisions in global competition
Geopolitical tensions and technological innovations are the driving forces behind the current market movements in the defense and AI sectors. The leading tungsten producer, Almonty Industries, plans to move its headquarters to the US to strengthen domestic raw material independence for the defense industry. The timing is ideal as China tightens trade restrictions on both raw materials and US defense companies. Meanwhile, in Germany, the Federal Cartel Office has approved a far-reaching German-Italian defense project between Rheinmetall AG and Leonardo S.p.A. - the aim is to strengthen European security, particularly with regard to ground troops. The US tech company Palantir Technologies is further expanding its position in the AI market and is increasingly using AI platform technology for commercial customers. We look at what investors need to know now.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, BYD – The automotive industry is in a flurry again
Donald Trump is wasting no time. On the day of his swearing-in, he signed several decrees and explicitly mentioned higher tariffs in his inaugural address. The new External Revenue Service will be responsible for working out exactly what these will look like. Trump wants to close the loopholes, such as imports via Mexico, in order to protect and strengthen his own economy. This is a disaster for the European automotive industry in particular because, after the difficulties in China, there is a risk of further losses in the second-largest sales market. In addition, vehicle manufacturers need more powerful batteries in their electric vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more and more popular for this purpose. However, there is a bottleneck here as well. We take a closer look at the automotive market.

Artificial intelligence and crypto mania – the 500% duo! Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, Credissential, Palantir and D-Wave
Since the tech bubble of 2000, no other year of investment has seen such huge gains for just a few sectors as 2024. And it looks like 2025 will be no different! Bitcoin, high-tech, artificial intelligence and armaments were and are the blockbuster topics for making quick money. MicroStrategy, D-Wave, Palantir, and Nvidia are the current protagonists of this incredible spectacle. Now these stocks have priced in a golden future, in some cases with P/E ratios of over 100. What comes next? Even experts are at a loss - nobody expects a correction here as all the shorts of recent weeks have turned into painful experiences. The keywords are "momentum & liquidity" – is fundamental analysis useless?

XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...
