wallstreet:online AG, AMC, GameStop, Robinhood - The hunting season has begun!
As of September 20, the DAX, like its French counterpart CAC, will be expanded to 40 stocks, which means that 10 new stocks will move into the focus of major fund managers. One or the other may have been surprised by this decision because, after all, Germany's 30 most valuable companies have reflected the development of the German economy very well for decades. However, international investors and funds appreciate more diversity, especially sector diversification. It is also hoped that the new insolvency clause will mean that criminal incidents, such as those involving Wirecard, will not have to be discussed at index level for long and will continue to affect derived derivatives for months afterward. Entry and exit criteria are also to change, from now on, minimum liquidity counts instead of trading turnover, and the Corporate Governance Code will become binding from September 2022. Modernization has been long overdue since Wirecard.

Sixt, Memiontec, Volkswagen - Innovations with potential
Innovations open up new sectors of the economy and create jobs. The energy turnaround and the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies encourage companies to adopt new innovations. In addition to climate protection, the subject of water treatment will undoubtedly make it onto the top priority lists of politicians in the next few decades. Innovative companies are already working to combat the problem of water scarcity. According to recent studies, 2.2 billion people do not have regular access to clean water, and the trend is rising.

wallstreet:online, Lang & Schwarz, MorphoSys - Long or Short?
(Neo) Brokers and securities trading banks have been achieving record profits for several quarters. Many new investors have discovered the stock market for themselves. The prices seem to know only one direction. In an environment with low-interest rates and, in some cases, zero order fees, this is leading to unprecedented transaction volumes. Who are the winners?

Memiontec, Bayer, Aurubis - Do not miss this trend!
According to estimates by some experts, water demand will already exceed supply by 40% in 2030. That is a dramatic forecast and should wake us up. Of course, climate change is an influencing factor. The increasing water consumption of agriculture in the wake of the growing population presents us with major challenges. In addition, water treatment plays a central role. Some promising investment ideas can be derived from the scarcity problem of the vital resource water.

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?
