Trump plans to invest over USD 1.5 trillion into the military! Opportunity for Rheinmetall and Graphano Energy!? CAUTION with Standard Lithium!
A bombshell on Wednesday! US President Donald Trump wants to increase military spending to USD 1.5 trillion per year. Already this year, the US is spending USD 901 billion on its military, more than any other country. In addition to US defense contractors, other companies could also benefit. One example is Graphano Energy. The Company is developing a graphite deposit in Canada. Graphite is considered a critical input for the military supply chain. Germany's largest defense contractor, Rheinmetall, is also hoping for growth in the US. Lithium producers are already being supported by the US government, which benefits Standard Lithium. However, Fitch is questioning market expectations.

Defense in a stranglehold: Why Lockheed and Boeing are grounded without antimony - and Antimony Resources holds the strategic solution
It is a chemical element with the atomic number 51 that has long led a shadowy existence on the world's stock exchanges, but whose strategic importance is now keeping security policymakers at the Pentagon awake at night: antimony. What sounds like a footnote in the periodic table is, in reality, the invisible glue holding together the modern defense and aviation industries. But this glue is becoming scarce. China, which dominates the global market with a share of more than 50% in production and nearly 80% in processing capacity, has begun to tighten the reins on exports. Trade barriers and opaque export restrictions are fueling real fears of a supply stoppage. In this high-risk geopolitical scenario, giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing are finding themselves in a bind, while small Western explorers such as Antimony Resources are suddenly becoming owners of assets that could prove indispensable to the national security of NATO countries.

ATTENTION - The next 100% opportunity could be here: Almonty, RENK, TKMS, and Infineon
Shares related to artificial intelligence continue to be a major focus in the market, even though the initial euphoria has subsided somewhat recently. Critical voices are increasingly warning of setbacks or even a significant correction. Among these skeptics is the well-known investor Michael Burry, who is said to have bet on falling prices for Nvidia and other industry peers. At the same time, shares linked to critical metals and their industrial end users have once again moved into the spotlight since the turn of the year. This is because tech specialists and AI infrastructure providers are under pressure to meet extremely high requirements in terms of energy supply, computing capacity, speed, and reliability. As a result, further opportunities are emerging for selected stocks. We highlight a few of these potential plays.

+23% price increase in just a few days! DroneShield, BioNTech, and WashTec shares!
DroneShield shares have already gained over 23% in the first few trading days of the year. The drone defense specialist is receiving a boost from two orders placed shortly before the turn of the year. Is it now heading towards an all-time high? WashTec shares are also performing strongly. While German stocks are weakening overall, WashTec shares are at their highest level in a long time, and analysts see further upside potential. BioNTech has important study data coming up in 2026. But first, the acquisition of CureVac will be completed. This marks the end of a stock market story that caused only brief euphoria.

Defense and commodity stocks remain top performers! These should not be missing from any portfolio: Almonty Industries, TKMS, and Salzgitter
Defense and commodity stocks continue to offer attractive investment opportunities. Geopolitical tensions, such as those currently in Venezuela, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine, are providing companies in the defense industry with a sustained economic boom. Critical raw materials are also geopolitically significant. These resources, along with secure supply chains outside China, carry great weight for both companies and states. We explain why the companies listed above benefit from this overall constellation.

Experts predict a silver boom up to USD 250! Should Rheinmetall, Silver Viper, and Aixtron be in your portfolio now?
The rise in the price of silver by over 160% in just 12 months is already phenomenal. But the upward scenario now seems inevitable: reports of imbalances in the physical delivery of futures contracts by institutional investors are leading to renewed price increases at every settlement date. Since the precious metal generated a strong buy signal at around USD 38, the price has been trending upwards. In yesterday's trading, it even exceeded the USD 80 mark. Allegedly, more than 700 million ounces of silver will be missing for the March settlement, which corresponds to 90% of total annual production. In addition to the very interesting silver explorer Silver Viper, we are also looking at Rheinmetall and Aixtron, two high-tech consumers of this critical metal. If deliveries fail, production lines could be halted for some time! Here are a few insights.

Nordex shares unstoppable! Sell Hensoldt? Gold gem Kobo Resources with takeover speculation!
Nordex shares continue their strong momentum in 2026, rising nearly 10% in just a few trading days. Investors are responding to the wind turbine manufacturer's strong year-end performance with heavy buying, prompting analysts to raise their price targets. In contrast, sentiment on Hensoldt is more cautious. Analysts recommend selling, citing a lack of fundamental support for the recent price gains and warning of rising competitive pressures. Meanwhile, gold has shrugged off recent selling pressure and is marching back toward USD 4,500. Gold explorer Kobo Resources stands to benefit from this trend. In a recent interview, the CEO expressed optimism and even mentioned the possibility of a takeover. The question for investors: Is now the right time to buy?

Peace dividend: How Antimony Resources, the RENK Group, and Lockheed Martin are reaping the rewards of military buildup
The new era of security will be decided deep underground in mines. The indispensable raw material for modern defense systems is antimony, a metal that is threatening to disappear from the world market and whose price is rising sharply. This strategic shortage creates a historic opportunity to invest directly at the source. The greatest potential is offered by the exploration company Antimony Resources, whose success in turn drives key suppliers such as the RENK Group and system builders such as Lockheed Martin.

Trade war over batteries: China's export restrictions force the West to act – and position NEO Battery Materials as a potential game changer for AeroVironment and DroneShield
The geopolitical map of the technology sector is currently being redrawn. After China drastically tightened export controls in recent weeks on critical drone components and high-performance batteries, Western defense companies are increasingly facing supply chain risks. In this strategic environment, the Canadian company NEO Battery Materials is evolving from a pure technology developer into a strategically relevant industrial partner. With the recently announced market readiness of its silicon-based battery technology, NEO offers a non-Chinese alternative that could become highly attractive for drone manufacturers such as AeroVironment and counter-drone specialists like DroneShield, as they seek to reduce dependence on Asian supply chains and secure long-term production reliability.

Up and down: Doublers and halvers among themselves! BYD, VW, DroneShield, and Power Metallic
And once again, it is full steam ahead. While last year saw a sunny scenario in terms of returns for AI, defense, and silver stocks, these sectors are performing even better in the new year. Rumors of a physical silver shortage have now been confirmed by futures exchange warehouses. This could mean that the "one-way movement" in strategic metals will continue. Rumor has it that the shortages may even be spreading to a range of industrial metals. As the world's largest producer of these raw materials, China is tightening export controls and redirecting resources toward its domestic industry. Much of this is still unconfirmed, but the recent price explosion to over USD 12,000 for copper speaks volumes. Investors would be well advised to diversify their allocations to be ready for the most important developments!
