Shares: Porsche does it like Tesla - Varta is not there, and Infinity Stone Ventures?
E-car specialists like BYD and Tesla have had them for a long time: their own gigafactories. German automakers have long neglected their own battery production. It is surprising because, with electromobility, energy storage is becoming the heart of every car. Here in Germany, Porsche is now stepping on the gas and accelerating the development of its battery production. This could become a model for the entire VW Group. Unfortunately, German battery hopeful Varta is again not involved in the project. The Company seems to be making no headway in its search for partners. No matter who builds the batteries, companies like Infinity Stone Ventures stand to benefit. The specialist for critical raw materials is currently stepping on the gas in its projects, and the positive newsflow should continue.

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Electromobility with rapid growth ahead
The IEA (International Energy Agency) has recently issued forecasts for the growth of electromobility up to 2030. While only about 10% of all vehicles were electric in 2021, this figure is expected to rise to at least 60% by 2030. That would significantly reduce emissions, but the energy transition requires raw materials from copper to cobalt to lithium, which is essential for the production of batteries for e-cars. S&P Global has calculated that even if all existing lithium projects were to go into production, there would still be a supply deficit of 220,000 to 2 million tons in 2030. Reason enough to take a closer look at three companies based on the sector.

Nordex, Cardiol Therapeutics, Rock Tech Lithium - Great opportunities in bombed-out stocks
The market correction of recent months due to geopolitical conflicts, fears of recession, and rising interest rates have taken their toll. While the broad market indices such as the DAX with 23% or the NASDAQ 100 technology index with 30% slipped into the red zone year-to-date, growth and financially intensive stocks, in particular, have suffered losses of over 70% in some cases. Despite corporate successes, the stocks have been sold off and are trading below their cash levels in some cases. In the long term, these are outstanding entry opportunities for patient investors.

Do not miss this train! Volkswagen, Varta, Infinity Stone Ventures
After the sell-off and crisis mood, the first investors are looking to the distant future. Now that the market has already priced in a recession and the energy crisis also seems to be largely represented in share prices, it is worth looking at the sectors that offer opportunities in any future. Car manufacturers and mobility providers remain attractive regardless of the current market situation. The reason: mobility is the key to prosperity and well-being. Just think of journeys to work or on vacation. The mobility of the future will be electric. Positioning oneself here makes sense. We take a look at three shares that are currently in focus.

Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Albemarle, Allkem - Defying the recession
Fears of a global recession continue to grow, with prices for commodities such as copper, lumber, cotton and even grains correcting sharply. In contrast, the lithium price continues to hold at a high level after the explosive rise at the beginning of the year. The reason for this is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. In China alone, sales of electric cars amounted to 3.2 million units last year, and 5 million vehicles are expected to be delivered this year. In contrast, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. In addition to existing producers, the primary beneficiaries of this shortage are the exploration companies, which have already been able to secure attractive properties.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Breakthrough in the battery market
Electromobility is considered a key technology 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, efficiency plays a decisive role in the expansion of e-cars. Another obstacle to rapid growth is likely to be the shortage of lithium, an essential raw material for the production of lithium-ion batteries, due to the high demand. A German company is about to start a revolution with new innovative technology. The main component of the new battery is regular table salt, which is available in extremely large quantities and is produced in highly diversified regions.

Aspermont, Allkem, K+S - Shares for the fast lane
We are living in turbulent times on the stock markets. War, energy crisis and inflation are shaping the moods of market participants. Anticipatory action and understanding the "big picture" and the long-term correlations between supply and demand are part of a stock market trader's toolkit. Exaggerations and understatements are part of the package. There is no getting around shares as a long-term form of investment. Because as stock market veteran André Kostolany said, "If you want to eat well, buy stocks; if you want to sleep well, buy bonds."

Analysts are bullish on BYD, less bullish on Varta and news from Infinity Stone Ventures
In terms of sales figures, BYD has already overtaken industry star Tesla. But the share could not benefit from this due to the partial sales of major shareholder Berkshire Hathaway. After the price slide, it now seems to be regaining its footing. Analysts are bullish and see great opportunities for the Chinese e-car maker in foreign expansion, among other things. Experts see few opportunities at Varta at the moment, and the chart is battered. Most recently, an analyst reduced the price target to EUR 65. The newsflow currently offers little hope. Infinity Stone Ventures is an entirely different story. The specialist for critical raw materials in Canada benefits from the political environment and is expanding its lithium areas. More news can be expected in the fall.

Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares of the entire lithium value chain
Since all car companies have entered the e-mobility market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. An all-out battle has broken out for the components needed for this, which is reflected above all in the price of lithium. While the price was around USD 5,000 per ton at the end of 2020, it was most recently quotes around USD 73,000. Experts even consider further price increases up to USD 100,000 possible because demand is significantly higher than supply. The German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources also comes to this conclusion. The lithium market promises to remain exciting in the coming years. Therefore, today we look at three companies along the value chain.

Electricity price brake and "Lehman Moment" - Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, Standard Lithium
The German government plans to spend around EUR 65 billion on the third energy aid package. But how big the total package will end up being is unclear. Above all, the intervention in the electricity market is "incalculable," according to economist Michael Hüther. Will this result in a new "Lehman moment"? We focus on the risks of the aid package and shed light on how investors can respond.
