Money or gold – Where can investors expect another 150% return? ESG-compliant with RE Royalties, Deutsche Bank, PayPal, or Fiserv?
Gold continues to fascinate as a scarce and value-preserving asset. However, its extraction often comes with significant environmental and social challenges, making the label "sustainable" difficult to apply. Money, on the other hand, especially in the form of cash or digital currency, is intangible and based on trust; in modern times, its sustainability is defined by its use in ESG-compliant investments. And these are diverse! With its "Green Deal," the EU is driving a comprehensive transformation and directing capital toward sustainable technologies and projects through support programs and ESG regulations. This is particularly relevant for institutional investors, who are increasingly required to consider climate risks and social responsibility. Much of this capital flows into green infrastructure and technological innovation. Private investors, meanwhile, have green investments on their radar, though the primary focus here remains on returns. Let's dive into the world of financiers.

Apple, Veganz Group, and Mastercard with big surprises
The past trading week on the stock market was eventful, particularly with the release of second-quarter figures. While heavyweights like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Apple delivered impressive results, there was nevertheless a sharp sell-off at the end of the week. Market participants cited the ambitious valuations of tech giants and the "sell on good news" effect as reasons for this. In contrast, one Berlin-based company offers sufficient room for maneuver, having delivered excellent figures and unveiling a strategic realignment that has caught the attention of investors.

PayPal, Desert Gold Ventures, and Nel ASA facing decisive milestones
Despite fears of recession and increasing geopolitical tensions, Germany's leading index, the DAX, and the Dow Jones reached historic highs and generated fresh buy signals. The precious metal gold is also unstoppable and, after a brief breather, is once again targeting the USD 2,531 per ounce mark. The smaller gold producers and exploration companies, which have so far hardly been able to capitalize on the strong rise, should also benefit disproportionately from a longer bull run.

BASF, Desert Gold, PayPal: Creating growth and value with the circular economy
BASF and Iveco are planning a partnership for the battery recycling of electric vehicles. This will fill a gaping hole in the economic cycle of e-mobility.

The explorer company Desert Gold Ventures stands out in the robust precious metals business with promising gold projects in Africa. The Desert Gold Venture site holds mineral resources of 8.47 million tons, with a gold content of 1.14 g/t, equivalent to 310,300 ounces. Gold is mainly used in the jewellery industry. Digital payments have now established themselves as a currency. In this industry, the new PayPal CEO, Alex Chriss, is leading the technology platform into the next growth phase with a strongly customer-oriented strategy.

Upco International, Square, IBM - Shop like Robinhood and pay by mobile!
Instead of using their wallets, more and more Germans prefer to use their smartphones or smartwatches at the supermarket checkout - for a good reason: It's simply faster. There's no more searching for change, and no one has to wait for change. Quick checkout at the supermarket, hotel or swimming pool has already proven its worth as a way of bypassing the queue. Mobile payments can be made wherever cash registers are NFC-enabled: Such cash registers can be recognized by the wave symbol, which looks like a WLAN symbol lying on its side. However, not every mobile payment service is suitable for every user. Upco is a small but very flexible provider that offers payment solutions via chat app and also allows crypto connections.
