Take cover - Tesla reports figures today! BYD, NIO, Power Nickel, BASF: Here we go with e-mobility!
The tension is rising. How will the annual figures of the industry leader in e-mobility, Tesla, really turn out now? By the end of 2022, there was a 70% slump in the share, and Elon Musk, the founder, had USD 100 billion less in the account within 8 weeks. He himself was to blame because in order to finance the Twitter takeover, he had to part with Tesla shares. For the year 2023, we are now interested in the expectations that will be placed on e-mobility. The fact is that many countries, including Germany, are now gradually withdrawing subsidies. So the new mobility must now learn to walk by itself. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Hydrogen versus oil and gas in 2023 - Uniper, Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, Plug Power? The 150% chance!
The example of Uniper shows how quickly a misguided energy policy can backfire. For years, the German government had relied on cheap gas from Russia, even co-financing a brand-new pipeline, but then came the political end. With the Ukraine war, the eastern gas source dried up, and several billion euros invested in destroyed pipelines will never be seen again. Uniper, the biggest gas importer, had to be saved from bankruptcy. In addition to the sharp rise in supply costs, the German citizen now has to bear the additional debt of almost EUR 50 billion for the Uniper bailout. It could not have come at a worse time. Who are the secret winners?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - The future of sustainable energy is now!
The hydrogen market is an integral part of the energy transition, as hydrogen is a clean alternative to fossil fuels. A wide range of applications are possible with hydrogen. Now that Germany is giving up Russian gas, independence from other gas suppliers is also the goal. Saxony-Anhalt's Chairman of the Conference of Energy Ministers, Armin Willingmann, is therefore calling for the industrial production of green hydrogen. With the expansion of renewable energies, the storage of surplus electricity as green hydrogen is a sensible solution. We, therefore, take a look at three companies that have developed their products around hydrogen.

Nio, Altech Advanced Materials, Rheinmetall - Still on trend
The prevailing themes from last year will continue to be in vogue in 2023. Due to the political strategy of achieving peace through heavy weapons, the order situation for defense companies should improve even further. In addition, electric carmakers should continue to top the sales figures from the fiscal year ending in 2022. In terms of the efficiency of the battery, which is essential for electromobility, several companies worldwide are fighting for the crown. One German company has two hot irons in the fire.

200% possible at ThyssenKrupp and Tocvan Ventures, and question marks at VW and BASF
As we approach the end of the year, it is difficult to separate the real economic opportunities from the current war and crisis scenarios. The forecasting institutes are also poking around in the fog with their statements for 2023, with a still conciliatory economic development at the zero line being defined subject to falling interest rates and declining inflation. Under the sword of Damocles of a possible gas crisis starting in March, however, all predictions turn negative because Germany as an industrial location is already struggling considerably with the energy and electricity price increases. So how do you select a top performer for the portfolio?

FuelCell Energy, Almonty Industries, SFC Energy - Fatal effects
Even now, commodity prices, which have risen exorbitantly in recent years, are correcting due to fears of a prolonged recession. In the long term, the super-cycles in critical raw materials needed for the energy transition and innovative technologies will likely continue. That is because there is already a threat of supply bottlenecks for the required industrial metals. For investors, this scenario offers a unique opportunity.

Analysts optimistic for oil stocks - TotalEnergies, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP
High volatility characterized the oil markets in 2022, a stock market year that will soon come to an end. While oil prices for West Texas Intermediate, WTI, reached over USD 130 per barrel after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the black gold subsequently corrected by more than 40% due to heightened fears of recession. In the long term, analysts agree that oil prices will likely rise significantly due to increased demand and tight supply.

Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, Apple - With this innovation Germany becomes an energy driver
Germany is known for its engineering. With Altech Advanced Materials, a new type of battery is paving its way that trumps all previous storage capacities. Together with Fraunhofer IKTS, the Heidelberg-based company is breaking new ground. BYD is also planning another battery plant, but in the USA. So far, the Chinese carmaker has held back in the consumer market there, preferring to focus on electric buses. But it will soon be adding another EV brand to its international portfolio. Apple will soon have to prepare itself. To comply with competition law, the EU demands that the Cupertino-based company open up its iPhone and iPad systems to other app stores. Find out what this means for sales here.

Oil price shock! Money is made here: Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Siemens Energy
OPEC+, i.e. the oil cartel plus other oil-producing countries such as Russia, Oman, Kazakhstan and Mexico, cut oil production a few days ago. Viennese economist Franz Wirl believes the measure is too drastic. He and other observers suspect that OPEC+ wants to cash in again, given an impending recession. What role does the OPEC+ decision have for the oil price, and which stocks can profit? We provide answers!

Where gold shines brightest: Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Uniper
Secretly and quietly, gold has stalked towards the USD 1,800 mark. The reasons are the weaker dollar in combination with a possible end of the interest rate turnaround and the growing uncertainty: Even if current economic data, such as the recently published US labor market report, give hope, the risks are growing in the long term. We look at two exciting gold stocks and use the example of Uniper to explain why gold could soon be booming.
