High-tech as an investment opportunity - how Almonty Industries, NVIDIA and FREYR Battery are profiting from the boom
With KT's Mine Safety DX technology, tungsten producer Almonty Industries is conducting pioneering work in the Sangdong mine in South Korea. The solution enhances worker safety and promotes efficient mining practices, a sign of strong ESG commitment. Due to its high density, comparable to gold, tungsten is used in aerospace, automotive, sports and telecommunications applications. NVIDIA is also going high-tech, building the world's first supercomputer to give companies quick and easy access to AI. Norwegian company FREYR Battery, on the other hand, can look forward to EUR 100 million in EU funding as a non-member. Why? Find out here.

Battery technology - but sustainable! Volkswagen, First Phosphate, SMA Solar
Germany's former flagship industry is suffering: Shifts are being cut at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau. The reason: customers remain reluctant to buy new cars. They are not yet convinced by many e-cars. Added to this is the price shock. Using three companies as examples, we explore how it could go on for car manufacturers like Volkswagen and how investors can still bet on e-mobility.

100% with Clean Energy! BYD, Regenx Technologies, BASF, Siemens Energy - Recycling is becoming a challenge!
As Western governments finally take climate protection seriously, the media has focused on the areas of energy, mobility, and health. It is clear to all participants that the changes in the world's climate will lead to undesirable developments. Glaciers are melting, the Earth's temperature is rising, and our oceans are already too warm for many species. Huge investments are being made in renewable power generation and modern mobility solutions. The high growth requires access to metals. Recycling also plays a major role because it conserves valuable resources and brings raw materials back into the cycle. Some companies are making a name for themselves, and shareholders can benefit from this.

Change of favorites in hydrogen shares! ThyssenKrupp instead of Nel ASA? Can Grid Metals take off?
Is there a shift in favorites among hydrogen stocks? It certainly seems that way. While former favorites Nel ASA and Plug Power are struggling, ThyssenKrupp is making a strong entry with the IPO of Nucera. The subscription period for the hydrogen subsidiary has been running since Friday, and demand already exceeds supply. In contrast, Nel ASA and Plug Power are being left behind. The Danes, in particular, are facing technical chart challenges and are struggling to maintain the EUR 1 mark. But perhaps the hype around Nucera is an entry opportunity for the established hydrogen specialists. And what about lithium? Stocks such as Standard Lithium and Alkem have been trending nicely in recent weeks. Grid Metals has yet to gain momentum, despite plans to process lithium as early as 2024.

A lot of movement can be expected here: Covestro, Globex Mining, and Nikola - The focus is on 100% returns!
Greentech is politically promoted and booming. Many stocks are traded on the stock market with this fantasy. But what is really technologically feasible? Those seeking to switch from fossil energy to electric forms often overlook the sometimes poor efficiency in converting fossil primary energy sources to electricity from the socket. Truly green solutions are defined per se by applications that improve the overall energy balance of the goods moved or even achieve a net-zero impact. Access to cheap raw materials, especially high-tech metals, is a prerequisite for all endeavours. We look forward to interesting price movements in the sector.

New record prices every day, but where is the perfect battery? Varta, First Phosphate, Volkswagen in focus
Without the next evolutionary step in traction batteries, it will probably be a long time before e-mobility can replace the combustion engine market. Short service life, limited flexibility and high production and disposal costs stand in the way of an economic approach, even if the red-green government likes to downplay these facts. In the end, politics has also failed to provide electricity in an appropriately "sustainable" manner and at an affordable price. Therefore, anyone who wants to promote ecology through politics must ensure that electricity prices are halved, and all currently required fossil components are eliminated from the energy mix. Otherwise, the enlightened consumer may revert to purchasing fuel-efficient internal combustion engine vehicles, even if they eventually have to import them into the EU at some point. Where are the opportunities for dynamic investors?

Recycling as an investment idea: Regenx Tech Corp., SMA Solar, Mercedes-Benz
Turn old into new. Upcycling is on trend. This is true not only for DIY projects, but recycling is also increasingly a topic in industry. Here, it is becoming more and more critical that preliminary products are sustainably promoted. By reusing existing primary products or raw materials, points can be scored in several ways: both financial gains and the support of investors and customers. We present a company that extracts precious metals from catalytic converters, thus positioning itself as a beacon of hope in multiple billion-dollar industries.

Barrick Gold, Defiance Silver, and First Majestic Silver - Precious metals in focus after the fall of the debt ceiling
The US has decided to suspend its debt ceiling until 2025. The markets reacted happily to this news and marked new highs for the year. But is this decision really a good thing? It took the US over 200 years to reach USD 2 trillion in debt. Now it will add 2 trillion every 18 months. With higher interest rates, refinancing this debt could lead to a financial crisis. Will fiat money still be worth much then? Chances are good that the price of gold and silver will be driven up further in this way. We, therefore, take a look at three gold and silver companies.

Billions with Artificial Intelligence? Nvidia, Grid Metals, Deutsche Telekom, Apple - Short sellers spotted!
The stock market is not a one-way street. Some investors have recently experienced this firsthand. Because in the "ups and downs" of sentiment, new trends are constantly emerging. The biotech sector, for example, has been falling for more than a year, and the charts keep reaching new lows. In 2020, cannabis stocks made a splash, with the related index, POT, increasing tenfold since 2018 to about 1100 points. However, yesterday it reached a new all-time low with 45.5 points or a 95% loss. Currently, investors are trying to ride the wave of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), with stocks like C3.ai, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Palantir all performing well in 2023. A new megatrend is underway here that, according to experts, will continue for several years. How long this boom will yield returns is unknown, but these stocks are currently performing strongly.
