Plug Power, Desert Gold, BYD - Discover the opportunities
"If you do not have the stocks when they fall, you do not have them when they rise." These wise words from a famous quote from stock market legend André Kostolany are little consolation to investors whose portfolios have melted considerably in recent months. In the long term, however, there are many attractive opportunities to enter strongly corrected companies at the current level. In addition to the stock market, other asset classes such as cryptocurrencies and precious metals also offer opportunities for disproportionate price gains in the future, despite the current uncertain environment.

These stocks are fighting the energy crisis: BASF, Nel ASA, JinkoSolar and Globex Mining
The current energy crisis is a homemade problem that has been felt primarily in Europe since the start of the war. For decades, Europe has relied on raw material supplies from Russia, and now, these have been sanctioned. Although the "old continent" has already made astonishing progress in upgrading its renewable energies, there is a threat of further price increases, blackouts and even electricity rationing if gas and oil supplies fail to materialize in the coming winter. By mid-2022, there were green power yields of between 43% and 61% of grid capacity, fossil fuels now account for only 15 to 20%, and nuclear power has been contributing only about 3.5% for several years. Nevertheless, a difficult winter probably looms because the fossil component is more than uncertain. Equity investors should look closely at who can prevail in this environment.

K+S, Barsele Minerals, Barrick Gold - Are the good times coming after the bad?
While the gold price is under pressure from the strong US dollar and rising interest rates, European fertilizer producers are struggling with high gas prices, representing almost 90% of variable costs in production. However, the first positive trends can be observed in both markets. In gold, the critical support level of USD 1620 has held, and there, the market bounced dynamically upwards. Fertilizer prices rose in September in almost all segments. Reason enough to take a closer look at two gold companies and the German fertilizer producer K+S.

The problem solvers: Plug Power, BioNTech, Almonty Industries
Rarely have there been as many global crises and challenges as there are right now. In addition to the war in Ukraine, there is Corona, an arguably inevitable recession, and the energy crisis - not to mention long-standing challenges such as the fight against cancer and climate change. Companies want to help solve these problems, and BioNTech is one of these companies. The Wiesbaden-based Company was not only successful in the fight against COVID-19. They are currently taking on cancer. And the CEO has recently been very positive. Almonty Industries wants to help reduce dependence on raw materials from China and Russia, and one Company has already given it long-term purchase guarantees. And Plug Power wants to help solve the energy crisis and fight climate change. The recent numbers have disappointed, but analysts see upside potential. We look at the current performance of the three problem solvers.

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon - Strong raw materials for profitable cloud technology
To ensure that logistics and supply chains are better protected against failures in the future, the Mercedes-Benz Group is relying on a strong partner for the internal cloud: Microsoft. Through global networking, potential supply bottlenecks are to be identified and cushioned at an early stage. The rapidly increasing demand for semiconductor and battery technology is bringing companies like Almonty Industries into focus. In the raw materials sector, the Company has specialized in tungsten mining in geopolitically secure areas such as South Korea. The metal tungsten is a key element for the computer and automotive industry. Top dog Amazon is also increasingly relying on its cash cow AWS. While the e-commerce business is being pushed by marketing campaigns, the Group is developing smart processors for its cloud business.

Geely, Kodiak Copper, Aston Martin Lagonda - Copper with the next chance
If investors had followed the sensitive early economic indicator, they would have been spared a loss of almost 25% in the DAX alone. Because already at the beginning of March, the copper price showed the first signs of fatigue after climbing to a new all-time high of USD 10,813.36 per ton. Almost half a year later, the red metal is not only trading more than 20% lower, but the recession has already arrived globally. However, despite the economic downturn, global demand for the red metal far exceeds supply. Due to the upgrading of renewable energies, the gap is likely to widen even further in the next few years, which argues for a rising base price in the long term.

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, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Critical situation
Due to geopolitical tensions and the ongoing trade war between the US and China, the supply of critical raw materials is on high alert. Especially for the energy transition and the achievement of climate targets, materials that mostly have to be exported from the largest Asian economy are needed. Now, with the Minerals Security Partnership, MSP, an alliance of Western countries has been founded to establish a complete value chain within the partner countries. As a result, mining, processing and recycling projects from Western countries will be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.

Stocks on a roller coaster ride, pay particular attention here: BYD, Manuka Resources, Porsche, VW
Currently, there are few highlights to report from the stock market. However, the mega-deal for 100,000 e-vehicles between BYD and Sixt is worth mentioning. The successful IPO of Porsche AG was also quite exciting, and for VW, it is an important strengthening of liquid funds for the transformation process towards e-mobility. In addition to inflation figures of just under 10%, we are also seeing significant markdowns in the Bund futures. Interest rates continue to rise, and a wake-up call for precious metals is spreading. Here are a few ideas.

Where stable percentages beckon: Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Bank
Time in the market beats timing in the market. There is a lot of truth in this stock market adage. Anyone who started saving for an ETF ten years ago outshone self-proclaimed stock pickers for a long time - and without any stress or transaction costs. But right now, ETFs are no longer the way to go. Instead of relying on the "watering can" principle, investors should act in a targeted manner. We present three stocks that, at first glance, combine security and opportunity and do a reality check. What can Shell, Saturn Oil & Gas and Deutsche Bank do?
