Apple, Tocvan Ventures, Valneva - More returns through innovation or risk hedging?
Innovations are hailed as market drivers. The more innovative a company is, the more likely it is to stay ahead of the competition. But this requires loyal customers who also support these innovations. And Apple has just such a customer base, setting a good example that loyalty must be rewarded for innovation. In contrast, pharmaceutical company Valneva has the challenge of exposure to different development cycles in the healthcare market. If only because of the duration of clinical studies, which rightly have to go well before a new product comes onto the market. This time, nature lovers could benefit. Those who find all this too volatile and unpredictable should once again turn to commodities as a hedge. With Tocvan Ventures, a candidate is in the running that looks very closely at optimizing the costs of its operations - to the benefit of investors.

Watch out! BASF, Varta, Barsele Minerals and Nordex - These shares are mastering the energy crisis
Renewable energies are one of the most important factors when it comes to a green lifestyle. After all, modern man wants to remain mobile, even if fossil resources no longer harmonize with the concepts of the future. For years, there were extensive studies that primary energy sources such as oil and gas, which have been locked up for millions of years, should not be released into the atmosphere. The scientists were not heard for a long time, and now after substantial climatic changes, attempts are being made to turn the tide using all means at their disposal. Too late? Perhaps, but many companies are positioning themselves correctly now. We keep an eye on these values.

New opportunities with BYD, MAS Gold and BASF
If you do not have the shares when they fall, you will not have them when they rise! As stock market legend André Kostolany noted, it is extremely difficult to hit the exact low point to enter. By waiting, however, most investors miss the subsequent price increases. The current price weakness could represent the final wave down for the precious metals of gold and silver. Subsequently, quite a few chartists expect a long-lasting upward movement. From this point of view, putting the first foot in the door on selected gold mining stocks is probably not the worst decision.

Over 200% share price potential? Analysts on BioNTech, BASF and Saturn Oil + Gas
The stock markets are friendly this week and the summer rally continues. Analysts still see room for improvement in the BioNTech share. The German biotech leader could be in for a golden autumn. Its product pipeline is promising. High energy prices and a looming gas shock in winter are causing trouble for the share of BASF. Analysts are also divided: "outperform" or "sell"? At Saturn Oil & Gas, free cash flow could almost reach the level of current market capitalization in the coming year. Therefore, analysts predict a revaluation potential and a share price potential of more than 200%. After all, investor legend Warren Buffett also backs oil producers.

GreenTech shares: BYD, Alpha Copper, Nordex, JinkoSolar - Top stocks for the climate fight!
According to a study by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) from 2020, Chile, Peru, China and the US were the largest copper producers in the world. Other significant deposits can be found in Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada, Zambia, Poland, Kazakhstan and Mexico. In Europe, the largest copper deposits are concentrated in Russia and Poland. When it comes to calculating the copper market in the next few years, expert opinions differ widely. According to a study by Wood Mackenzie, primary copper demand will increase by over 30% to around 25 million tons by 2030. And ore is already in more than short supply today. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Long-term bottom reached? - Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources, Newmont
In 2022, a stock market year characterized by geopolitical uncertainties and major inflation concerns, investors were definitely wrong if they followed the old stock market adage "Sell in May and go away". Although the German stock market barometer DAX only marked a new low for the year of 12,385 points in July, it has since risen steeply by around 1,500 points. The precious metal gold was also able to turn around after a successful test of the critical support zone at USD 1,680 per ounce and set off for new highs after breaking through the USD 1,800 mark.

Who benefits from recession and inflation? BASF, Viva Gold, K+S
The market is currently staging a minor bear market rally. The reason: Falling energy prices and the first signs of lower inflation are fuelling hopes that the central banks may pause their interest rate turnaround sooner than expected. The prospect of a soft landing for the global economy has even sent cyclicals rising again in recent days and weeks. But what if inflation stays or the economy shrinks significantly in 2023?

Almonty Industries, K+S, E.ON - These companies benefit from the energy transition
The situation on the energy markets remains tense. The German Minister of Economics received a rejection from Qatar. Alternatives are urgently needed, such as solar and wind power. Almonty Industries is well positioned to source materials for these energies. The world's leading supplier of tungsten can become a decisive player in the market for the hunt for raw materials. Rising prices are benefiting the Company in this regard. The changed prices, in turn, play into the hands of fertilizer producer K+S. Higher average prices in both customer segments compensated for increased costs. In Western Europe, prices fell due to demand, which led to increased sales in Eastern and Northern Europe. Energy network operator E.ON warned of "valuation risks for investments" when publishing last year's results in March and surprised with the current results.

Alarm at Plug Power, problems for Nordex is good for Alpha Copper
It is the summer of renewable energy stocks. Russia's attack on Ukraine, high oil and gas prices, and climate change are just a few arguments why investors are so electrified by the sector. However, there is also a lot of advance praise being handed out. That is the case with Plug Power. When a company makes more losses than sales, alarm bells start ringing. But the Plug Power share is taking this surprisingly well. According to analysts, Nordex continues to suffer from high purchase prices, and an impending copper shortage will not reduce the problems. Alpha Copper should benefit from scarce copper. Drilling programs are giving the share a tailwind.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Albemarle - It is getting problematic
The electrification of transport and the replacement of the combustion engine are essential to achieve the proclaimed climate goals of politics. Batteries are one of the main components of electromobility. According to a study by the consulting firm Roland Berger, the global market for lithium-ion batteries will grow by 30% per year until 2030. But electric car manufacturers are already struggling with the scarce metal lithium. Prices are skyrocketing and demand is far outstripping supply. Lithium producers are likely to continue to be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.
