Palantir, Credissential, Deutsche Bank – AI separates winners from losers
AI is revolutionizing the business world and, for good reason, transforming entire industries. Palantir is setting new standards in data analysis by integrating Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk for his X platform. The Canadian tech company Credissential is also pursuing a platform approach. Here, the AI-supported solution is developing a comprehensive package for buying used cars online in the US market. In addition to the vehicle, the software is being developed and marketed to a predominantly young audience and Credissential is building its software to offer appropriate insurance, transfer costs, and other relevant add-ons. Once implemented, the company expects an improved conversion rate by connecting to the digital marketplace. Deutsche Bank is currently facing a fine of EUR 10 million. Employees sold financial derivatives to small and medium-sized companies in Spain, whose risks was largely not communicated.

Barrick Gold, First Nordic Metals, MicroStrategy – Profiteers in the bull market
The gold price is unstoppable and reached the USD 2,800 per ounce mark for the first time in its long history during the past trading week. In comparison, gold producers such as Barrick Gold or Newmont are trading well below their highs. However, should the underlying asset remain at this high level, the profits of precious metals companies are likely to skyrocket. By then, producers, as well as exploration companies, should start to catch up.

Palantir, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy – Profits with data, gold, and Bitcoin
In times of looming trade war and high volatility, as recently triggered by DeepSeek, one should invest in booming business models. Otherwise, in these turbulent times, it is wise to move at least part of your portfolio into "safe havens." Traditionally, this has been gold, but for the younger generation, who are more willing to take risks, it is cryptocurrencies. To outperform the market in the long term requires patience and foresight. Today, we look at three companies in the fields of data processing, gold, and cryptocurrencies and examine where the risks and opportunities lie.

Alibaba, Credissential, MicroStrategy – Innovative business models: where is the hidden potential?
This week, the latest announcement by the US Federal Reserve that key interest rates would remain unchanged for the time being only briefly provided some reassurance. Instead, concerns about the ongoing risk of stagflation and the disruptive power of artificial intelligence are dominating the debate. Three companies, seemingly separated by industries and national borders, have more in common than first glance suggests: they have all deeply embedded digitalization in their DNA and are pursuing growth strategies. Today, we look at which business models could face challenges due to US tariffs and which ones appear safe.

Baidu, dynaCERT, BYD – Using the Trump hammer
After the Trump trades and the subsequent rally, is the Trump hammer coming next? After the stock markets reached historic highs in recent weeks, a sharp correction followed on Monday. The reason for this was the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, Mexico, and China. The consolidation could continue to expand, given that the Buffett Indicator, which looks at the market capitalization of all US companies in relation to economic output, is at an all-time high. Nevertheless, there are undervalued value stocks that could escape the downtrend.

Alibaba, Credissential, ASML – Profiteers and losers of the AI quake
Last week, the new Chinese chatbot DeepSeek caused the stock markets, particularly semiconductor stocks, to falter. Chip giant Nvidia lost 17% of its market value in one day and almost USD 600 billion in market capitalization. Whether DeepSeek can truly follow in the footsteps of ChatGPT after the initial euphoria is questionable. However, new models are coming to market that could steal market share from the established players in the future.

4,000% stock Carvana: TeamViewer, Bitcoin Group, Zalando, and Credissential offer opportunities
Away from the big tech stocks, multipliers are waiting. One example from the US is Carvana, which has risen 4,000% in two years. Credissential aims to challenge the online used car dealer. The startup wants to provide brick-and-mortar used car dealers with a response against Carvana using artificial intelligence. Scaling is planned for 2025. If successful, the stock is much too cheap. In the DAX, Zalando offers significant upside potential. The online retailer is back on the growth path and plans to compete with Shein and Temu through the acquisition of About You, with analysts recommending a "Buy". By contrast, TeamViewer's stock lacks momentum. Analyst opinions are divided. And is the Bitcoin Group stock finally waking up?

DeepSeek hits right in the eye! Selective correction on the way! Watch out for Nel, Siemens Energy, First Hydrogen, and SMCI
The Chinese language model DeepSeek is stirring up the AI market. The entire tech sector is reacting nervously and showing significant price losses. Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving indispensable in many areas. Large language models like ChatGPT are already helping to solve complex tasks, and their further development promises enormous advances for the economy and society. The new Chinese language model is seen as a serious challenge to US dominance in AI and threatens the dominance of the hyped US companies. The AI assistant introduced on January 10th recently overtook rival ChatGPT as the top-rated free software application in Apple's App Store in the US. A shot across the bow for Nvidia and associated companies. Some green energy stocks are also coming into focus. Is it time to jump on board now?

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?
