After the crash, buy defense, big data, and high-tech now! Rheinmetall, BYD, VW, Globex Mining, and Palantir in focus
The DAX had gained a good 13% by the summer, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 index saw an even more significant increase of 24%. However, much of this progress has melted away in recent weeks. Due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, especially in the Middle East, the stock markets experienced a summer setback. This is not uncommon for this time of year. There are often index corrections, which then transition seamlessly into the year-end rally from late fall. The FED could be the driving force this year. Renowned investment banks expect the September meeting to mark the start of a longer cycle of interest rate cuts by a total of 5 measures. This would likely mark the starting signal for the next super bull markets. Before then, we will separate the wheat from the chaff to ensure your portfolio is correctly positioned.

Hensoldt AG, Almonty Industries, Vonovia - New opportunities after the crash
The past trading week was indeed quite a challenge. Uncertainty and high volatility dominated the global financial markets. Although share prices gradually recovered after Black Monday, it is still too early to sound the all-clear due to increasing geopolitical tensions and the unwinding of the global yen carry trade. Nevertheless, interesting entry opportunities have opened up for investors following the exaggerated price losses at many companies.

Barrick Gold, Prismo Metals, BASF - Precious metals as a safe haven in a crash
Last week, the indices recorded a noticeable decline on Thursday and Friday. The Fear and Greed Index is approaching a state of extreme fear, indicating that market sentiment is dominated by uncertainty and panic. In such times, investors often flee to safe havens, such as precious metals, while selling almost all other assets. This shift can lead to further turbulence on the markets and demonstrates how strongly emotions and risk behaviour influence events on the financial markets. We therefore take a closer look at two precious metal companies and analyse BASF, a stock that has been hit harder by the crash.

BYD, Globex Mining, Coinbase - New opportunities after the price storm
Weak labour market data from the US, which once again increased fears of a recession, the Intel shock, and the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East, put additional pressure on stock markets around the globe. The Dow Jones fell by just under 3% over the week, while Germany's leading index, the DAX, lost over 4.5% in the same period. The market's overall weakness meant that positive company reports took a back seat. This creates opportunities at a discounted level.

Commodities, Travel, Defense: Almonty, Lufthansa, and Rheinmetall in focus
Global tensions offer enormous potential for investors. Given the conflicts with China and Russia, the US urgently needs to reorganise its supply chains for defense raw materials. Almonty Industries, for example, is gaining strategic importance for the US defense industry with its Sangdong project in South Korea. Meanwhile, German airline Lufthansa is struggling with price pressure and rising costs. The management is aware of the challenges and continues to pursue its strict turnaround strategy. Investors should be prepared for profit warnings here. Despite Russian threats, defense contractor Rheinmetall is expanding in Eastern Europe, with new projects in Hungary and Ukraine. Where is an investment currently proving lucrative?

thyssenkrupp, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Which share holds the most potential?
In the midst of a turbulent phase on the global markets, companies in the commodities sector are facing enormous challenges. Recent developments have increased volatility, as evidenced by the unexpectedly strong growth in China's commodity imports in July. Despite these positive signals, the market reaction has been subdued, partly due to negative indicators like the falling copper price. Copper serves as an early indicator of global economic strength. Investors eagerly await a potential rebound while market observers discuss the causes and future opportunities. Today, we will look at a steel, mining, and gold company to determine which one holds the most potential.

Riot Platforms, Desert Gold Ventures, British American Tobacco with a bang
Summer is in its hot phase, and there is no sign that the global stock markets are cooling down. On the contrary, with the US election campaign entering a new round following Joe Biden's withdrawal, the presidential candidates are trying to mobilize voters. One target group that Donald Trump was able to win over at the weekend is that of crypto enthusiasts. In a fiery speech at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, he emphasized that Bitcoin would rise like never before under his presidency.

70% with Evotec shares? Caution with BASF? Almonty Industries tempts investors to get in!
Will BASF miss market expectations in the second half of the year? Analysts believe so. The chemical giant's revenues are already expected to fall in the second quarter. So, should one sell the shares now? The Evotec share was bought yesterday. Analysts believe that the profit warning from Sartorius should not be overestimated and see over 70% upside potential. However, patience is required. The Almonty Industries share also appears too favourable. The commissioning of a huge tungsten mine is imminent, and not only companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor and Rheinmetall need the critical metal for their high-tech products. So, when will the share break out?

Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, RWE - Which energy belongs in the portfolio?
The debate about the ideal energy source for the future focuses on hydrogen, oil, and renewable energies. Despite its controversial reputation, oil remains a significant energy source due to its high energy density and well-established infrastructure. Technological advances are also reducing the negative environmental impact. However, renewable energies and hydrogen also offer significant advantages, such as sustainability and low emissions. However, there is a lack of infrastructure to fully exploit the advantages of these technologies. We examine one candidate from each sector and where they stand today.

Despite the super disaster with CrowdStrike, 100% returns are possible with TUI, Lufthansa, Prismo Metals and BayWa!
The CrowdStrike outage shows us just how dependent the world has become on multinational corporations from America. Within hours, everything came to a standstill - nothing worked at airports, supermarkets, and banks, and some hospitals had to postpone operations. Does this make those responsible think about what urgently needs to be changed? In addition to a completely dependent situation in the IT sector, Europe, in particular, is in a pretty poor state regarding raw materials. Chancellor Scholz is looking for resources in Serbia, a country that would like to join the EU but is closer to the aggressor Vladimir Putin. Can Brussels overlook such facts and transfer billions more to Ukraine at the same time? Europe's needs are obviously manifold, and the most urgent need is likely to master the energy transition to prevent industry migration to more favourable jurisdictions. Investors are currently facing enormous challenges. We provide some ideas for a 100% portfolio.
