200% possible at ThyssenKrupp and Tocvan Ventures, and question marks at VW and BASF
As we approach the end of the year, it is difficult to separate the real economic opportunities from the current war and crisis scenarios. The forecasting institutes are also poking around in the fog with their statements for 2023, with a still conciliatory economic development at the zero line being defined subject to falling interest rates and declining inflation. Under the sword of Damocles of a possible gas crisis starting in March, however, all predictions turn negative because Germany as an industrial location is already struggling considerably with the energy and electricity price increases. So how do you select a top performer for the portfolio?

Auxico Resources, BYD, Nordex - Energy transition in danger: shortage of critical raw materials
The energy transition, i.e. the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon and renewable energy supply, is an important step in combating the climate crisis. However, some critical raw materials are needed for the expansion of renewable energies and whose scarcity can pose a threat to the energy transition. These include, for example, rare earths, cobalt and lithium, which are used in the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. In this context, one should not underestimate the current dependence on China, which has a monopoly position, especially in rare earths. We therefore take a look at three companies around the energy transition.

Outperformer stocks in 2023? BioNTech, Steinhoff, Saturn Oil + Gas, K+S
Will energy stocks continue to be outperformers in 2023? In any case, in 2022, MSCI World Energy clearly outperformed MSCI World. In the case of individual stocks, Shell, for example, has gained over 45% in the current year. Jefferies recommends the stock as a buy with a target price of GPX 3100 (pence). Warren Buffett has also invested billions in the oil sector in 2022. Chevron and Occidental Petroleum are among Berkshire Hathaway's seven largest holdings. Energy, after all, is likely to be in demand in 2023. Those looking to bet on a laggard should look at Saturn Oil & Gas. The Canadian oil producer faces a milestone in 2023, and analysts see over 200% upside potential. BioNTech enters the new year with solid newsflow. And what is Steinhoff doing after the horror news?

FuelCell Energy, Almonty Industries, SFC Energy - Fatal effects
Even now, commodity prices, which have risen exorbitantly in recent years, are correcting due to fears of a prolonged recession. In the long term, the super-cycles in critical raw materials needed for the energy transition and innovative technologies will likely continue. That is because there is already a threat of supply bottlenecks for the required industrial metals. For investors, this scenario offers a unique opportunity.

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?

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Apple - Asia and Africa push business
Almonty Industries is creating the first underground LTE security network for mine workers and production equipment in cooperation with Korea Telecom. The technology will enable work at the Sangdong Mine to proceed more safely and quickly. Tungsten is used in smartphones and other applications. As one of the largest smartphone producers, Apple is expanding its business in India. 5% of iPhone production is to be handled from there. This is a consequence of the lockdown experience with China. Armaments giant Rheinmetall, on the other hand, is enjoying an order from South Africa.

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.

Analysts optimistic for oil stocks - TotalEnergies, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP
High volatility characterized the oil markets in 2022, a stock market year that will soon come to an end. While oil prices for West Texas Intermediate, WTI, reached over USD 130 per barrel after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the black gold subsequently corrected by more than 40% due to heightened fears of recession. In the long term, analysts agree that oil prices will likely rise significantly due to increased demand and tight supply.
