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!

Defense 2.0: Why Almonty Industries, DroneShield, and Palantir are the new strategic assets in the defense boom
While attention is focused on large defense contractors, a less noticed but lucrative ecosystem is emerging in the shadow of the defense boom. The real winners in the new security landscape are often companies that provide the essential foundations, from critical raw materials for high technology to defense against ubiquitous drone threats to analysis of crucial data streams. These companies are structurally benefiting from billion-dollar budgets and redefining modern security architecture. Three specialized players illustrate this momentum: Almonty Industries, DroneShield, and Palantir.

Alternative to DroneShield and Standard Lithium! NEO Battery Materials set to take off in 2026! Drones, robotics, and more in one stock
Drones, robotics, and electromobility are megatrends. Billions of dollars in capital are flowing into these industries. As a result, DroneShield and Standard Lithium were among the high flyers of the year. However, after share price gains of 330% and 170% respectively, they are anything but cheap. NEO Battery Materials has what it takes to become a price rocket in 2026. The Canadian company has developed more cost-effective, silicon-reinforced batteries that offer higher storage capacity and faster charging. Very importantly, commercialization is set to begin in 2026 at a factory in South Korea. Orders are already in place, and shortly before Christmas, NEO Battery became part of South Korea's defense industry ecosystem.

Record year – Will 2026 be even better for BYD, Kobo Resources, Palantir, and DroneShield?
After an exceptionally strong 2025, investors are asking whether the rally can continue into 2026. Gold and silver reached new all-time highs at the turn of the year, and promising gold stocks such as Kobo Resources have gained more than 40% in recent weeks. Palantir Technologies, expensively valued but still widely recommended by analysts, has continued to reward shareholders. The V-shaped movement at DroneShield is also exciting, with its shares already doubling from their December sell-off lows. Meanwhile, BYD is entering a decisive phase as it accelerates its expansion strategy in Europe. What should investors focus on next?

Top tips for 2026 – Critical metals and armaments! DroneShield, Pasinex, RENK, and Heidelberger Druck in focus
In 2025, there was a pronounced rally in critical metals starting in the summer. This was largely triggered by China, which imposed export restrictions on rare metals and strategic raw materials in response to arbitrary tariff demands from the White House. The metal markets reacted with strong upward movements, and the procurement centers of Western industry reacted even more severely. In view of the needs of the near future, a large number of properties would have to be brought into production in the areas of copper, graphite, lithium, uranium, zinc, and rare earths. However, it takes around 10 years to set up a mine, including all permits and preliminary investigations. Because this is far too long for the current needs, the market is looking at projects that are about to start production or are already producing. We offer a few ideas from the supply chain and potential customers.

Will 2026 start with another surge? We evaluate BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield
In December, many market participants start thinking about the next investment period – in this case, the year 2026. The 2025 investment year was one of the best periods of the past 20 years for both the DAX and the NASDAQ, with gains of 18.7% and 20.8%, respectively. Even the Trump tariff crash in April was offset entirely within just two weeks. The drivers of the upswing remain the US administration's policy, which is perceived as "supportive," as well as ongoing geopolitical conflicts and still tolerable interest rates between 2.7% (Bund) and 4.0% (USD Treasury) in the ten-year range. For the coming year, some experts expect another wave of inflation, high commodity prices, and rising energy costs. These are all factors that could once again stifle the economic upturn and bring additional volatility to the markets. And let's not forget: AI and defense seem to be at their peak — so who will lead the next revaluation of the stock markets?

Drone defense and nearly 10% fixed interest! DroneShield, Hensoldt, Bitcoin Group, Nakiki
Is Germany now getting serious about drone defense? A new drone defense center was opened in Berlin yesterday, aiming to provide a nationwide overview of the situation and a coordinated response to drone incidents. DroneShield and Hensoldt are among the beneficiaries on the stock market when it comes to drones and their defense. Will the shares now receive new momentum? Bitcoin is not currently experiencing any momentum. However, this is actually a desirable scenario for Nakiki SE. The Company plans to buy Bitcoin in the coming months and become Germany's first pure play Bitcoin Treasury company. To this end, Nakiki is currently issuing a corporate bond. Investors can secure a fixed interest rate of almost 10% p.a. and diversify their portfolio. The CEO explains why the Bitcoin bond is interesting. In contrast, Bitcoin Group has missed the boat, and now short sellers are also getting involved.

Year-end rally ahead! Selected positioning for 2026 in Almonty, DroneShield, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Incredible volatility at year-end. No surprise - the past stock market year will go down in history as one of the best for the DAX and NASDAQ. And this despite shrinking economic growth and rising inflation. But seasoned investors already know that inflation boosts stock prices, and what drives them even more is defense spending. War is terrible, but it fills the coffers of financiers - led, as always, by the US. Donald Trump likes to sell himself as a peacemaker to the outside world, yet the US remains the world's largest producer of offensive and defensive technology. Business is booming, NATO is among the biggest customers, and demand runs into the trillions. Whether 2026 will continue in the same vein is doubtful, but conflicts at least continue to enable hyperinflationary money printing. As a result, the gigantic debt flywheel spins ever faster – this is how FIAT money systems have functioned for millennia! Where do opportunities lie for risk-aware investors?

Silver soon at USD 100 – has the defense rally now stalled? Silver North, Rheinmetall, and DroneShield in focus
Unbelievable – who would have thought it? Last week, silver reached the USD 64 per ounce level for the first time, reflecting a pronounced imbalance between supply and demand. In contrast to the bubble surrounding the Hunt brothers, who effectively bought up the silver market to nearly USD 50, today's rally is based on a global structural deficit driven not only by industrial demand but also by geopolitical tensions, rising government debt, and a weak US dollar. Physical silver availability is declining worldwide due to low production levels. At the London Metals Exchange (LME) in particular, inventories have fallen by roughly one third since 2021, while ETFs have reduced the freely available supply by more than 75%. The situation is coming to a head! Where should investors start paying closer attention?
