150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued
With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

Long-established German companies under pressure: BASF, Lufthansa, and antimony pioneer Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
German industry is facing a severe test: recent media reports indicate that production shortages are already emerging due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Two crisis hotspots are converging. A military blockade of the world's most important energy trade route has restricted supplies of crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and chemical feedstocks such as methanol. At the same time, China is leveraging its dominance in critical minerals, such as antimony, to impose restrictive export controls, further drying up the market. In this environment, raw material sovereignty is the decisive competitive factor. While giants like BASF and Lufthansa are adapting their business models to the situation, problem solvers like Antimony Resources are moving into the spotlight.

All-Time High for Gold, Volatility Rising! thyssenkrupp, AJN Resources, Airbus, and Lufthansa in Focus
The stock market is preparing for a hot fall. While inflation figures show no sign of weakening, gold and silver are climbing to new record levels. Rising debt levels and growing geopolitical tensions are fueling this trend. So far, capital markets have largely held their ground without major losses. However, US President Donald Trump's trade policy has suffered a severe setback. With his plan to impose comprehensive tariffs on goods from almost all countries in the world, invoking an emergency law from 1977, he has clearly exceeded his powers, and the courts are now stepping in. One clear warning sign: volatility is high, and valuations have reached extreme levels. The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 now stands at 40, far above the historical range of 15 to 27 over the last 30 years - making 2025 an absolutely exceptional year in terms of overvaluation. We are on the lookout for promising stocks, and gold should not be overlooked as a strategic portfolio addition.

Volatus Aerospace – The next era of security technologies begins now
Geopolitical conflicts, overarching security requirements, and empty budgets pose a significant challenge for governments and administrations today. This is because highly sensitive and critical infrastructures have been created in recent decades, requiring significant public investment. These now need to be protected and maintained. In the digital age, these decision-making processes require a wealth of data that must be collected and evaluated regularly. Artificial intelligence accelerates these processes, and this is where the big game changer lies for many service providers. Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023; EUR 0.09) is a highly specialized service provider in the field of airborne inspection, surveillance, and data analysis. Business is set to take off in the current quarter as the demand for critical information increases daily. There is still time to get on board.

Banks double 100%; now comes the gold rally! Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Desert Gold and Lufthansa
The stock market keeps climbing, as evidenced by the ever-new highs of prominent indices like the NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones, Nikkei, or the DAX 40 index. While international high-tech stocks are setting the tone, financial stocks have now also returned to pre-pandemic profit levels. This is due to the return of interest margins. However, due to the poor economic situation, write-downs in loan portfolios now threaten. The generally depressing situation is also weighing on tourism companies. The situation is quite different for gold and silver. They finally reached new highs in May, and the momentum is likely to continue rapidly. What should investors pay urgent attention to now?

Globex Mining, Deutsche Lufthansa, Rheinmetall: Share prices soar on the back of impressive deals
Globex Mining achieves several deal highlights: The exploration company receives CAD 2 million in cash from Agnico Eagle for a land purchase, with further opportunity for a growing asset. Over 23 months, an additional CAD 6 million is expected to flow to Globex Mining. Then follows an option agreement with Tomagold Corporation on a Canadian gold property at Gwillin Lake near Quebec. Total payments of six figures are due over the next four years. In addition, shares in Tomagold will be transferred to Globex Mining. While German Foreign Minister Baerbock was more conspicuous for flight mishaps, the Lufthansa Group achieved an adjusted EBIT of around EUR 1.1 billion in Q2/23. The subsidiaries SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and Lufthansa Technik also posted record results. Furthermore, Rheinmetall is also taking to the skies - now supplying drones to Ukraine.

Airbus, Lufthansa, Star Navigation Systems - Which share will take off?
When travelling through airports these days, one feels transported back to 2019: many passengers are being drawn abroad again. A report published last autumn by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) shows that the number of flights rose sharply again in 2022. For the future, experts expect passenger numbers to continue to rise and thus also more flights. But how can investors invest in this trend? We present three options.

Trade war and new world order: BYD, NIO, Almonty Industries, Airbus
Just a few weeks ago, US carmaker Tesla succeeded in signing long-term contracts in China for the supply of crucial battery metals. At the same time, market experts emphasize that the situation for Western customers in China is becoming increasingly uncertain. The US is also not helping to ease the situation with subsidies for e-cars and batteries, most of which come from the United States. We highlight three stocks and explain how things could go in the current situation.

NEL ASA, PowerCell Sweden, Royal Helium - aviation as a growth market
The British company Hybrid Air Vehicles is based in Bedford, north of London, and is developing Airlander, the largest aircraft in the world. The special feature of this type, however, is that it is a hybrid of airship and aircraft. Helium keeps the airship in the air and engines control the take-off, the direction of flight and of course the landings. Special advantages of Airlander are that the crew can stay in the air for up to five days and no runway is required. The airship can take off and land on all ground level surfaces that provide a minimum size required for the giant. Currently, four diesel engines control the direction of the aircraft, but in the future two combustion engines are to be replaced by electric motors. The company assumes that Airlander needs only 25% of the energy for the same task compared to conventional aircraft.
