COP27 shares sought: BASF, Infinity Stone, Varta, VW - Billions for the energy turnaround!
The meeting of the heads of government in Egypt was proclaimed as a COP27 climate conference, but most of the representatives arrived in a somewhat environmentally hazardous manner with specially ordered aircraft. It can be seen on the Internet on the fringes of the important conference, and climate activists have therefore turned their eyes very strongly in the direction of the prominent participants. Different sources report between 300 and 600 planes around Sharm el-Sheikh airport. What a farce. The word "energy turnaround" seems to have been greatly overused in the public eye since the beginning of the war at the latest, so a coherent implementation of the proclaimed goals should also take place at the very top. The industry, meanwhile, has picked up the ball and is making rapid progress. Which shares can gain traction in the process?

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Nio - New players in the multi-billion market
Electromobility is seen as having no alternative in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations and the market share of battery-powered vehicles more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, battery efficiency plays a decisive role in the spread of e-cars. However, a German company is poised to become the new standard on the market by developing a novel coating method. With the establishment of a joint venture, the Company is also researching a revolutionary battery technology that works without the critical raw material lithium.

Plug Power after the horror numbers, and what are Varta and Altech Advanced Materials doing?
Climate change, high gas and oil prices and the dependence on "difficult" energy suppliers: There are many reasons why hydrogen and electromobility are among the undisputed topics of the future. Accordingly, shares from these sectors are popular with investors. Plug Power is one of the favorites. The Americans have disappointed (again) with their latest quarterly figures, but the share price is still rising, and analysts are also positive. Battery specialist Altech Advanced Materials is also currently doing well. The cooperation with Fraunhofer in the field of solid-state batteries is taking shape. Varta, on the other hand, is currently working on bottoming out, but analysts advise selling.

Kodiak Copper, BYD, SolarEdge Technologies - Copper driving the energy transition
Goldman Sachs forecasts a gap of copper on the world market equivalent to about 8 million tons. The reason for the shortage is the high demand due to electrification in the areas of mobility, energy supply and renewable energies. Companies such as BYD and SolarEdge, pioneers of the energy transition, use vast quantities of the coveted metal in their technical solutions. In the last 10 years, the raw materials market has focused on other metals. Kodiak Copper, on the other hand, has taken advantage of this time and secured large areas of copper mineralization in North America, the drilling of which is promising. A strategic move that is now paying off...

BYD, Almonty Industries, Ballard Power - Attractive future prospects
In order to achieve long-term climate targets, there is no alternative but to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies. With subsidy programs worldwide, politicians are promoting the expansion of wind, hydro and solar energy. Despite excellent future prospects, the shares of the relevant companies have been undergoing a sharp correction for months. Similarly, raw materials such as copper, nickel and tungsten, which are vital for the energy transition, have also corrected. Demand already exceeds existing supply - an opportunity for the future.

Up or down? Stocks in sports mode: PayPal, Meta Platforms, Barsele Minerals, Porsche, VW
Today, a historical review takes us back to the period of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933. After the end of the First World War, the government printed money to finance war bonds, jobs for returning soldiers and reparations to the victorious powers. As a result, the money supply increased permanently, prices rose faster and faster, and purchasing power declined. Raw materials for the domestic economy had to be purchased more and more expensively from abroad, but since there were no longer enough goods available, prices continued to rise explosively. From 1922 onward, the talk was no longer of creeping inflation but of galloping inflation. Today, 100 years later, the German producer price index rose by over 45.8% in September. What do investors need to watch out for now?

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Profiteers of the energy transition
Electromobility plays a central role in achieving the ambitious goal of climate neutrality by 2050. Despite current production difficulties in the automotive industry due to the ongoing chip shortage, global supply chain problems and the effects of the war in Ukraine, demand for battery-powered vehicles continues unabated worldwide, as can be seen from the sales figures of electric car manufacturers. However, there is a problem here: the critical raw material lithium is already becoming scarce for the production of electric batteries. As a result, the already high prices are likely to rise further in the long term - to the advantage of the lithium producers.

The great race to catch up: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - Who will build the best battery?
The first major city in Germany is getting serious. From February 2023, diesel-powered vehicles in the Euro 4 emissions class will no longer be allowed to be used within the inner ring in Munich. This is a big step, as around 140,000 motorists will be affected by this exclusion. In the future, these drivers will have to park their vehicles at the city limits in order to use public transportation to get to the city center. This will have far-reaching consequences for businesses and restaurants, as on-site purchases of a larger nature will become extremely inconvenient for the owners of these vehicles. Politicians are betting everything on e-mobility, but what about developing powerful and environmentally friendly batteries?
