Coinbase, Desert Gold Ventures, MicroStrategy – On to new records
Donald Trump's transformation from crypto skeptic to unconditional supporter boosted digital currencies after his election and brought Bitcoin close to the USD 100,000 mark. In contrast, precious metals lost ground following his election victory but have already regained their lost territory. While the gold price remains close to its historic highs, promising producers and exploration companies are far from record levels, offering substantial long-term catch-up potential.

Almost 200% upside potential! Plug Power, Renk, and F3 Uranium!
Uranium stocks from North America are likely to have a strong year in 2025. Russia and the US have imposed mutual export and import bans. At the same time, the US wants to triple its nuclear energy capacity. As a result, analysts see almost 200% upside potential for the Canadian uranium explorer F3 Uranium. The majority of experts also expect Renk's share price to rise. However, its performance this year is well behind that of Rheinmetall and Hensoldt. Plug Power is also likely to be among the disappointments of the year. However, JPMorgan believes the hydrogen company is well positioned and includes it in its list of top sustainability picks for 2025. Rightly so?

RWE, Globex Mining, Plug Power - Energy transition: Euphoria, disillusionment, and investment opportunities
The path to a sustainable energy supply is not linear but is characterized by successes, setbacks and surprising developments. Despite possible supply risks, the German energy giant RWE is posting record earnings of EUR 4 billion (EBITDA) and is a thorn in the side of the Federal Cartel Office due to its market dominance. With its "mineral bank" model, mining specialist Globex Mining proves how traditional commodity businesses can also develop sustainably. The mining sector faces a double challenge: on the one hand, the industry contributes massively to the increased carbon footprint, while on the other hand, it is indispensable for the energy transition, as the demand for metals for batteries and renewable energies is increasing dramatically. With over 252 projects and smart royalty rights, Globex Mining is growing continuously, and its enterprise value is increasing. Hydrogen pioneer Plug Power, on the other hand, is struggling with a significant 20% revenue drop despite ambitious growth targets. "Hope dies last," one thinks when considering the perseverance of Plug Power's management. Where do investment opportunities lie?

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Novo Nordisk - How political decisions and market opportunities drive prices
The capital markets are again demonstrating how closely intertwined political decisions, external market factors, and entrepreneurial skills are. The planned expansion of Medicare and Medicaid coverage of obesity drugs could open up new growth prospects for the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk in the US. However, the wind of change is blowing in the direction of a new administration with a strong reputation in the US healthcare sector. Industry giant Barrick Gold shines with impressive numbers, with operating cash flow alone at USD 23 billion. Meanwhile, explorer Desert Gold is securing fresh capital through clever financing for its promising SMSZ gold project in Mali, Africa. Here is what investors should be looking out for now.

Thunder Gold Corp., Amazon, Rheinmetall - Record values for gold, AI and armaments
The technology landscape and the commodities sector are currently showing their most dynamic side. Thunder Gold Corporation is delivering exceptional exploration results in Ontario, Canada. The reported gold grades of 9.12 g/t Au over 12.66 m are not only the strongest in the project's history, but they also indicate a potentially large gold deposit. The project's strategic location, with direct access to important infrastructure, further enhances the potential of this area. Amazon is making a technological breakthrough in the highly competitive AI chip market. With its new Trainium 2 processor, the tech giant is taking a direct shot at market leader Nvidia. The promised fourfold increase in computing power at a significantly lower cost could fundamentally change the balance of power in this billion-dollar market. Rheinmetall is also continuing its growth course. Deutsche Bank is significantly raising its estimate and the target price to EUR 700. The Düsseldorf-based company, which wants to double its sales to EUR 20 billion by 2027, is benefiting from a new major order from Canada worth EUR 215 million.

Artificial intelligence and crypto with a 200% opportunity! SMCI, Power Nickel, Infineon and ARM Holdings on the buy list
The crypto and AI boom is now quite advanced. Yesterday, Bitcoin hit a wall at just under USD 100,000, and Nvidia was also unable to reach new highs despite good Q3 figures. This suggests that a technical consolidation is underway, which could extend well into early 2025. However, some stocks have already fallen more sharply and are reappearing on investors' buy lists. 2025, the first year of the re-elected Donald Trump's term in office, is likely to bring a great deal of unrest, as the US will have to reposition itself in international trade. Announcements of introducing punitive tariffs are currently dominating the news, which are largely counterproductive. We highlight the opportunities for risk-conscious investors.

Qualcomm, Saturn Oil + Gas, MARA Holdings – Expansion in focus
Bitcoin exploded after the rapid conclusion of the US election and the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Besides the fact that the old and new president is considered Bitcoin-friendly, it is also well-known that he holds little regard for renewable energies. Instead, he plans to further promote the domestic oil and gas industry. While crude oil remains in a correction phase, this sector presents intriguing companies that could benefit long-term from a resurgence in oil prices.

Super Micro Computers, F3 Uranium, MicroStrategy – Why technologies like AI are shaping our energy future
Data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies are driving global energy consumption higher, even as the world faces the challenge of climate change. Technologies such as Bitcoin mining and AI applications are extremely energy-intensive, and demand for them is expected to increase significantly by 2030. In this context, nuclear energy is gaining importance as a virtually CO₂-free power source. However, the downside is that the demand for uranium to fuel reactors is growing rapidly, while supply remains limited. Experts are predicting a new bull cycle in the uranium market – a development that could have a lasting impact not only on investors but also on the energy transition.

Crypto & Bitcoin, the USD 100,000 madness – Will power shortages loom? Coinbase, Myriad Uranium, C3.ai and Palantir
The crypto madness continues! This week, Bitcoin enthusiasts are glued to their trading screens. Will the cryptocurrency break through the USD 100,000 barrier? Experts in the coin segment even consider price targets between USD 250,000 and 1 million conceivable. Anything is possible, as they say today. Meanwhile, market analysts are also noting the looming risks of power shortages. The extensive mining operations and the increasing use of artificial intelligence are consuming unprecedented amounts of electricity, demands not anticipated five years ago. Several countries have, therefore, decided to expand their nuclear power capacities, including France, Poland, Finland, the US and China. Conversely, Germany plans to stick to renewable energy sources - let's hope the sun starts shining at night soon. We explore these booming segments and seek opportunities for returns.

BASF, F3 Uranium, Amazon - From geothermal energy to uranium: Three companies shaping the future of energy
The global energy transition is taking concrete shape: chemical giant BASF and Australian geothermal specialist Vulcan Energy are forging a groundbreaking alliance for green heat and lithium production in Ludwigshafen. The momentum in the energy sector is further strengthened by the nuclear power renaissance. F3 Uranium is positioning itself with high-grade uranium discoveries in Canada's Athabasca Basin to capitalize on the upcoming demand boom. The expected doubling of uranium demand by 2030 and the planned strategic uranium reserve in the US from 2025 promise strong growth for the sector. Meanwhile, tech giant Amazon is securing its future power supply in the European market by investing billions in Greek wind farms. These developments highlight how large corporations are driving the transformation of energy supply systems.
