Attention gold breakout, sell AI stocks? NVIDIA, Globex Mining, and JinkoSolar - these stocks are calling for a party!
Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have recently seen gains of up to 500%. Fund managers worldwide jumped on the new megatrend, but now many investors are wondering what is next! We do not want to deny the revolutionary AI trends; they will dramatically change many things. But do these disruptive trends justify price-turnover ratios of over 40? NVIDIA, the main protagonist, recently managed to increase its market value to over USD 1 trillion. Yet, the Company only achieved sales of USD 26.9 billion in the last fiscal year, with profits falling by as much as 44%. This feels like an exaggeration that is probably not yet widely perceived. We take a deeper look.

Warning against the Green Illusion! SMA Solar, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar
About one-fifth of Germany's gross final energy consumption comes from renewable energies - and the trend is rising. Renewables are also on the rise in the US and China. From an investor's point of view, this naturally suggests itself as an investment. Renewable energy is climate-neutral, cost-effective, and politically supported. Despite these apparent advantages, some pitfalls still surround this presumed self-propelling sector. We shed light on why sustainably-minded investors do not need to shy away from fossil energy sources and why certain challenges exist within the Green Illusion.

Greentech rally restarts again! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, SMA and JinkoSolar - critical metals are in demand
Greentech stocks have been a hot topic since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by the Joe Biden Administration. That is because, besides the EU, the US now also wants to step on the gas pedal significantly. It is all about investing in the future of climate protection. This primarily involves technologies for alternative energy generation, such as solar or wind power plants. Under the IRA, US investments in the future will be subject to a tax bonus. For industry, the key point remains the availability of strategically important metals, as they are as rare as they are highly sought after. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Climate protection, yes, but why is the plan not working out? Nikola, Nordex, Saturn Oil + Gas and JinkoSolar in focus
The world often presents itself differently than it really is. In Germany, for example, there is a shortage of oil and gas, which is a major burden for industry and private consumers. Renewable energies now account for 56% of the installed nominal value of all power plants, but unfortunately, they cannot meet baseload demand. If there is little sunshine and no wind, gas and coal-fired power plants must be shifted up a gear to meet energy consumption. Oil, in particular, remains the base material for 100,000 products that contain plastic. So the green dream of complete independence from fossil fuels will not happen for a while. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Solar and wind instead of oil and gas - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lanxess: Germany focuses on decarbonization!
International energy policy is more disparate than ever. While the US, Canada, China, India, South America and Russia focus on exploiting their abundant fossil reserves, resource-poor countries like Germany and select European states are embracing renewable energies. This decision results from an existing shortage or is imposed in the EU alliance, but it fits argumentatively into the picture of rapid decarbonization, a main line of European policy. As a reminder, planet Earth is home to almost 8 billion people, while Europe has only about 700 million inhabitants. With 8.7% of the world's weight, activist climate policy is being pursued in this country. While the goals are laudable, the overall effect of the efforts is rather negligible. But the consequences for Europe's historically built-up prosperity will be considerable. What is important for investors to consider?

Recycling as an investment idea: Regenx Tech Corp., SMA Solar, Mercedes-Benz
Turn old into new. Upcycling is on trend. This is true not only for DIY projects, but recycling is also increasingly a topic in industry. Here, it is becoming more and more critical that preliminary products are sustainably promoted. By reusing existing primary products or raw materials, points can be scored in several ways: both financial gains and the support of investors and customers. We present a company that extracts precious metals from catalytic converters, thus positioning itself as a beacon of hope in multiple billion-dollar industries.

Extremely strong developments in JinkoSolar, Power Nickel and CTS Eventim
After the DAX reached a new all-time high, the signs are pointing towards a correction due to the ongoing lack of agreement regarding the debt ceiling in the US. The ongoing consolidation phase offers an opportunity to further optimize one's portfolio, especially with selected individual stocks. In the area of critical raw materials for the energy turnaround, disproportionate price gains await in the long term after the price losses of the past months.

Heat pump, wind power and solar energy, is this the electricity mix of the future? E.ON, Myriad Uranium and ThyssenKrupp in focus
Germany is rapidly moving away from fossil fuels and has removed nuclear power from its energy mix. This makes us the forerunner of a new-thinking society that wants to switch energy production entirely to renewable sources. But there are a few problems because, by abandoning nuclear power, we are forced to extend the lifetimes of coal and natural gas-fired power plants. From a CO2 point of view, this is madness, and there is another point: the supposedly more environmentally friendly versions of energy production, such as wind or solar power, are not nearly as environmentally friendly as advertised by politicians because of current production practices. We will analyze these aspects objectively and in more detail.

BYD, Orestone Mining, SMA Solar - Copper is the lifeline of the energy transition
Copper is an essential component of the energy transition. It has proven to be a key material for the production and operation of electric cars and solar plants because it is conductive, flexible and durable. It is also used in many other applications. The copper price has been in an intact upward trend since July last year. Copper serves as a leading indicator for the economy, and even if the price has recently come back a little, experts expect a further increase in the 2nd half of the year. Electric vehicles are on the rise worldwide and especially in China. The Middle Kingdom is hungry for raw materials. In the past few months, more gold has been bought. Today we look at three companies for which copper is important.

Commerzbank, Blackrock Silver, JinkoSolar - Banking crisis fuels demand for precious metals
May 3 was marked by the decision of the FED. The experts expect this to be the last interest rate hike for the time being. The interest rate increases of the past months have led customers to withdraw their money from the banks, which, however, had put the money into long-term government bonds that had fallen in value. Accordingly, First Republic was the next victim and the assets were sold to JP Morgan. Despite the interest rate hikes, inflation remains at a high level. This is one of the reasons why precious metals such as gold and silver have made significant gains recently. Silver is essential in many industrial sectors, especially in the production of solar panels.
