The correction in most technology stocks last month was short and painful. Stocks in sectors that have been hyped in recent months, such as hydrogen, electromobility and e-commerce, lost more than half of their market value at their peak. The most important price barometer for high-tech stocks, the Nasdaq 100, corrected from over 13,800 points to just under 12,200 points at its low. Since then, a dynamic countermovement has set in, which should soon lead to new highs. Take your chance now to invest in attractive stocks!

    wallstreet:online - In the midst of growth

    One of the winners of the Corona Crisis were online brokers. Many people, especially the younger adults, used #WirbleibenzuHause to get involved with shares, funds, ETFs and Co. According to the German Stock Institute, there were 28% more shareholders in 2020 than the year before. Especially among those under 30, stocks seem to be right on trend at the moment. A total of 600,000 young adults ventured into the market, an increase of almost 70% compared to the previous year. In addition to the pandemic, neobrokers, with their mobile-first strategy, were the main reason a new generation of investors established itself in the capital market.

    In the mobile sector, Smartbroker, founded in 2019 and belonging to wallstreet:online AG wants to catch up with the neobrokers. Through an innovative smartphone app, the Berliners wish to increase both customer growth and transactions made significantly. Thus, the number of customer deposits is expected to increase by 120,000 to 200,000 this year. Despite the rapidly growing portal business - wallstreet:online is the absolute market leader with sites such as wallstreet-online.de, finanznachrichten.de and ariva.de - Smartbroker is set to become the growth driver of the future. As early as 2021, 40% of the Group's total revenue is to be generated from the transactional business and around 60% from advertising income.

    The analysts at GBC AG expect wallstreet:online AG to generate an EBITDA of almost EUR 20 million in 2021 and see the stock as a buy candidate with a price target of EUR 29. Currently, the share price is still in the consolidation phase and is quoted at EUR 18.70 after the all-time high of EUR 29.70 in mid-February. The bottoming phase will be completed once the resistance at EUR 21 has been overcome. In the long term, the growth stock offers good opportunities for above-average returns.

    Palantir - Buy the dip!

    Rarely do investor opinions differ as strongly as they do with the US data analysis Company Palantir Technologies' stock. For some, it is the next big thing after Tesla, and for others, it is far too expensive and too opaque. On "WallStreetBets," a forum on the Reddit community, Palantir even overtook GameStop as the "most discussed stock" at times. The US Company, which lost more than 30% of its value in recent weeks due to its weaker-than-expected quarterly figures and the end of the lock-up period for existing shareholders, was now able to announce another significant government contract.

    The Company has signed a five-year contract worth USD 89.9 million with the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA, part of the United States Department of Energy. In return, Palantir will provide digital security and analytics capabilities for an NNSA nuclear security project. Under the terms of the contract, NNSA will use Palantir for "effective knowledge management and data-driven decision making" as part of a more extensive security, analytics, forecasting and evaluation reporting project, also known as SAFER.

    The positive news sent shares trading up as much as 4% to the current USD 23.44. From a chart perspective, a sustained break above the USD 25 mark would be a liberating blow.

    NanoRepro - The winner of a sustainable trend

    Being in the right place at the right time is especially true for NanoRepro AG. Before Corona, the Marburg-based Company was active in the field of self-diagnostics and had 25 rapid tests in its portfolio - including an HIV test, two pregnancy tests and five others purely for medical use. Corona and its entry into the field of rapid antigen tests rewrote the Company's history.

    CFO Stefan Pieh has released forecasts for 2021. This sees at least EUR 250 million sales volume based on Corona's B2B rapid antigen tests to date and its partnership with ViroMed. Possible larger orders from abroad or orders in the currently not yet approved saliva test for the end customer area are only included to a small extent in this scenario.

    Overall, a sales volume of EUR 400 million is possible. In addition to its operational activities, which are currently strongly focused on the sale of Corona's rapid antigen tests, NanoRepro is presently evaluating several promising products from the medical/healthcare sector for the expansion of its business base after "Corona." In our opinion, NanoRepro's business model with Corona rapid tests should continue for a long time. Life without a mask and testing seems unlikely at the moment, even after the virus has been contained. One should use more significant setbacks to enter the share.

    Big Dividends from Mercedes, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco

    • Volatility

    The stock markets are entering a challenging phase. Stock market history shows that in years with US midterm elections, the preceding months are often volatile and regularly result in losses. August and September, in particular, tend to show significant weakness. This does not necessarily mean the pattern will repeat, but recent market developments are sending warning signals. Optimism is running very high, which makes indices vulnerable to corrections. The latest Bank of America fund manager survey made this clear: professional investors' cash allocation currently stands at just 3.5%, a historically low level. In other words, funds have relatively little capital available to deploy into purchases during market setbacks. One alternative during such phases is high-dividend stocks, which also offer long-term opportunities. That is why today we are taking a closer look at Mercedes-Benz, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco.

    250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus

    When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.

    When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.
