Star investor Buffett bets on oil: BYD, Plug Power, Shell, Prospera Energy
While the world was watching the Dubai Climate Conference, Warren Buffett invested in oil. The star investor increased his stake in Occidental Petroleum to 27% via Berkshire Hathaway. There is also the possibility of increasing the stake in the US oil company to 33%. The move came after Occidental shares had lost 20% in just a few weeks. This anti-cyclical move is typical of Buffett and shows that oil stocks like Shell are exciting. A similar turnaround story to Occidental is Prospera Energy. Things are expected to get interesting for the Canadian oil producer next year. This is likely also the case for BYD and Plug Power. Chinese companies want to attack the Japanese market, among other things. Like so many hydrogen companies, Plug Power has to address the question of the profitability of its business model.

Snow chaos and climate madness, who is playing in the Premier League of the energy transition? Nel ASA, Power Nickel and Plug Power under the microscope
Snow chaos and new record highs. While the DAX 40 demonstrates itself as the world's best blue-chip index, the German economy is currently navigating downward. It is not the earnings outlook that is presently driving share prices but the hope of lower interest rates. Meanwhile, the endless climate debates in Dubai continue. Among realists, however, there must be fears that the local oil lobby will not let a German know-it-all put a stop to the lavish margins with fossil fuels. There will, at least, be a friendly Arab nod to the 2050 climate goals and exclusive indulgence for the high-ranking German delegation. Whether this justifies federal expenditure of more than EUR 50 million is something we will leave uncommented. More important is a look at the top titles of the upcoming energy transition - where is the next 100 percenter lurking?

More than 30% with Plug Power, Siemens Energy, and Globex Mining! What is next?
Is the Plug Power share about to triple? Despite being one of the disappointments of 2023 along with Siemens Energy, both shares have risen in recent days. And analysts see further upside potential. The price target for the hydrogen specialist, in particular, is surprising. On the other hand, Globex Mining is performing well operationally throughout 2023. The shares of the mining incubator from North America have gained over 30% in value this year, outperforming commodity giants such as Barrick Gold. The Canadians' recent transaction shows that the business model has potential and is appealing to investors.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Occidental Petroleum - New opportunities from OPEC+
With the decision by the oil cartel OPEC+ to further reduce production in the first quarter of next year, oil prices continued their correction that has been ongoing for weeks. Russia and OPEC+ announced their planned cuts at a total of 2.2 million barrels per day. The current decline in the oil sector offers investors an opportunity to participate in the expected long-term upward trend at more favorable prices.

ExxonMobil, Prospera Energy, Deutsche Rohstoff AG - New opportunities in the supercycle
After a sharp rise of around 30% to an annual high of USD 95.50 for the US West Texas Intermediate, black gold entered a correction and has since lost about 20% in value. Even events like the Hamas attack on Israel and OPEC+ production cuts were unable to halt the current decline. From a technical chart perspective, this appears to be a normal correction. In the long term, oil is expected to reach new highs with the next upward movement. JP Morgan, for instance, issued an updated price target of USD 120 per barrel as recently as September.

Desert Gold, Nordex, RWE: Gold and wind energy as solid investments: Portfolio diversification for sustainable growth
At first glance, gold and wind energy may appear to be complementary, but they have surprising connections. While gold is considered a 'safe haven' and investment, the increasing importance of renewable energies, such as wind power, is impacting the global energy market. Desert Gold is an experienced explorer with a 440 sq km gold property in West Africa, with 20 gold zones that may contain promising precious metal deposits. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex impresses with solid business in the third quarter. RWE, as a global player, appears to be one step ahead with its offshore wind projects. Find out here why both investments can be worthwhile.

Ukraine, Middle East, BRICS - Is climate policy over? Nel ASA, Klimat X, SFC Energy and Plug Power with 100% chances!
The turnaround was sudden and very sharp. A few days ago, the DAX, NASDAQ and hydrogen stocks were in free fall, but the tide turned at the beginning of November. The DAX 40 jumped 600 points because the central banks on both sides of the Atlantic finally ceased tightening, and the first interest rate cuts are now expected in 2024. The hydrogen protagonists suffered losses of up to 70% in just 6 months - but Nel & Co have already made up a third of those losses. What is next for Greentech stocks?

Should you buy shares now? Plug Power, JinkoSolar, Almonty Industries
Renewable energy shares have faced a difficult few weeks. However, exciting buying opportunities always arise in such market phases. For instance, Plug Power's quarterly figures are due tomorrow. Can this trigger a breakout from the downtrend? Buying Almonty shares could soon pay off. Analysts expect the tungsten producer to massively increase its sales and profits from 2024. JinkoSolar's quarterly figures were convincing. But the bad news from SolarEdge and Co. is depressing sentiment in the industry.

Varta, First Phosphate, Volkswagen AG - Great opportunities in bombed-out sectors
The current environment with a weak economy, fears of recession and continued high inflation is causing problems for capital-intensive companies in the renewable energy sector. Even the raw materials required for this sector have significantly deviated from their all-time highs achieved in 2021. However, there is no question that the future belongs to this sector. More important than ever for investors, however, is active stock picking.

Hensoldt, Globex Mining, Siemens Energy - The wind is turning
While major global stock indices took a beating following the intensified conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, precious metals markets once again lived up to their reputation as a safe haven. After both gold and silver experienced a sharper correction in recent months, this event could be the starting signal for the next upward momentum.
