Is the e-mobility gold rush coming to an end? Volkswagen, BYD, Alerio Gold, Deutsche Bank - What is going on with Tesla?
Elon Musk had a calculated fortune of around USD 280 billion at the peak of the Tesla share. After the crash of the miracle share and the purchase of Twitter, he is now said to own around USD 150 billion less. According to calculations by the analysis firm Factset, Musk still holds around 14% of the shares in electric car manufacturer Tesla. Here alone, there is a gaping loss of over USD 100 billion. New at the world's top for the first time is a Frenchman: Bernard Arnault, the 73-year-old CEO and co-owner of the luxury group LVMH. According to the US magazine Forbes, he has a total fortune of USD 186 billion - and thus passes Musk and Buffet. Has the "climate wonder weapon" electromobility already seen its horizon?

Saturn Oil + Gas, BP, First Hydrogen - Potential recognized
The high volatility on the stock markets is likely to continue in the coming year, as the economic and geopolitical situation is too uncertain. This, in turn, offers enormous opportunities to acquire promising stocks at discounted levels that have received little attention from the public. With the ongoing correction in the oil sector, which major analyst firms believe is likely to regain strength in the US in the coming year, there are attractive companies, particularly from the second tier, that should significantly outperform the broader market in the expected upturn.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Iamgold - Takeovers on the rise
The record year 2020, with highs of over USD 2,070 per troy ounce at the base price, filled the coffers of the large gold producers. Due to the correction that has been going on for 2 years, smaller and mid-sized mining companies lost more than 80% of their value, making them attractive takeover targets at a cheaper level. Recently, there has been an increase in acquisitions, which are likely to increase further in the coming months. A particularly high level of activity can be observed on the African continent at the moment, as the latest example shows.

Kodiak Copper, Volkswagen, Nordex - Copper price rises due to positive news from China!
In mid-July, the copper price marked its low for the year. Since then, a slight upward trend has formed, indicating a robust economy. There are as many as three positive signals for copper. First, there is the weakness of the dollar, which is supporting demand for the red gold. Second, China's announcement that it plans to strengthen its economy after easing Corona measures is providing a boost. If China eases its monetary policy, this would strengthen the real estate sector and fuel the hunger for commodities. Third, M&A activity around copper appears to be increasing. Therefore, we look at three companies in the copper space.

Power Nickel, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Race to secure critical raw materials
Since the major car manufacturers decided to equip their cars with electric drives, the demand for certain raw materials has skyrocketed. The result has been a sharp rise in prices.

Despite all the gloom, the capital market offers plenty of new opportunities every day.
