BASF, Meta Materials, IBU-Tec, SGL Carbon - Materials that dreams are made of!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies - there are inherent scarcities and political implications in many high-tech materials essential for the German economy and future and resource-efficient technologies. Their production and further processing cost a lot of precious energy, and not all environmental or health impacts have been clarified. Mining companies and processing industries are therefore required to observe sustainability principles and not just implement them on paper. Some companies take a proactive approach to this issue, while others must first be forced into line politically. We take a look at some of the protagonists.

Allianz, wallstreet:online, Commerzbank - DAX on the way to an all-time high?
Can anything at all shake the DAX? Neither the expansive monetary policy of the European Central Bank and the resulting inflation can slow down the DAX, nor Corona or the flood disaster. The IFO business climate or purchasing manager index also shows a positive picture. Looking to America, where most companies have already announced their figures, most have not disappointed. Currently, there is a stock market lull due to the summer months. September is statistically often the weakest month of the year. So one should be on guard. If there is a subsequent lockdown, the tide may turn - at least in the short term.

NIO, AdTiger, Alibaba - Opportunity China
To ensure data security, cross-border data flow and management of confidential information of Chinese companies whose shares are traded abroad, tech companies, in particular, came into the focus of Chinese regulators. A sell-off followed the uncertainty in related stocks. Companies such as Baidu, Tencent or Alibaba lost disproportionately and offer attractive long-term entry opportunities at the corrected level.

Alibaba, Memiontec, Tencent - China, the upcoming super economic power
China defied the pandemic in 2020. In contrast to all other industrialized nations, some of whose economies suffered considerable losses, China's economic growth increased. By 2028 at the latest, China will be the world's largest economy. Today, the country is already the leading trading partner for many countries, such as Germany, Japan and Australia. China used to copy Western products, but today it is on par technologically, both in terms of artificial intelligence and 5G. The Asian continent has other up-and-coming countries, such as Singapore. We should not forget Japan in particular, which is the third-largest economy. So we will take a look at three companies from the Asian region.

The Very Good Food Company, Amazon, Anheuser-Busch Inbev - Change in shopping behavior due to the pandemic
The Corona Crisis has changed the shopping behavior of people worldwide. On the one hand, there is a trend towards more online shopping; on the other hand, people are spending more money on higher-quality food, which in most cases is still bought locally. In Germany, this can be seen very clearly in a study by the Gfk market research institute. Discounters in Germany saw a 1.4% drop in sales in the first half of 2021, while supermarkets showed a 6.3% increase. Due to the pandemic, practically all special expenses such as restaurant visits, vacations, etc., fell away, and the money saved is invested in higher-quality products in the supermarket, among other things.

Alibaba, Memiontec, MorphoSys - Now the rally after the sell-off!
The regulator's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. China has tightened the thumbscrews on technology giants and especially their online education companies - triggering a stock market quake on its own stock market. In some cases, well-known tech stocks lost double digits, even though the affected areas only affect fractions of annual sales. Government regulation of the USD 100 billion-plus education market is likely to weaken confidence in China's stock markets for the long term. And the fact that China's trade relations with the US have also reached a low point does not make things any better. Are there still opportunities?

Barrick Gold, Mineworx, TUI: Summertime is investment time
Invest or consume? Given the difficult months many of us have had, it would be understandable to unwind now: sun, beach and sea beckon despite rising numbers. But it may also make sense to think more long-term in the face of rapid change. Central banks are allowing more inflation and the printing press continues to run fast. Especially in the current summer lethargy, this can be an opportunity for people with foresight.

Twitter, wallstreet:online, Snap - Rally or Crash?
What is next for the global stock markets? Several experts are already passing around price targets of 20,000 points for the DAX due to a lack of investment alternatives. At the same time, the bear camp sees the bursting of the bubble, which was created by the massive financial injections of the FED, coming our way as early as this summer and predicts a crash of unimagined proportions.

American Water Works, Memiontec, Rio Tinto: Solid Company operating in a booming region
Water is a precious commodity - a fact now remembered since the recent flood disaster in parts of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. People without access to clean water are more likely to suffer from infectious diseases. What is only an issue here for a few weeks after natural disasters is sadly commonplace in other regions. It is not without reason that access to clean drinking water has long been a human right. Protecting water supplies is also a duty for companies. It is no wonder that investments in clean water can yield good returns.

Mineworx Technologies, Siemens, Bayer - Innovation is the trump card
Since 2005, the Boston Consulting Group has annually selected the world's 50 most innovative companies. The list reads like a "Who's Who" of international heavyweights: Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Tesla took the top 5 spots in 2021. In total, the United States was able to occupy 26 of the 50 spots - that is an impressive number. But German companies also find their way into the illustrious circle 9 times, including Siemens and Bayer. Why is innovation so important? Innovation is a key success factor for a company to achieve above-average results and differentiate itself from competitors. For this reason, we take a closer look at innovative companies in different industries. Who is your favorite?
