The license to mine: With RZOLV Technologies, Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle could gain new scope - without cyanide
Gold mining has long relied on a single, highly toxic molecule: cyanide. Today, tightening regulations, rising ESG scrutiny, and increasingly complex ore bodies are challenging this long-standing industry standard. A paradigm shift is emerging in which access to clean extraction technology, rather than mere ownership of the metal, is becoming the decisive strategic lever. This change is casting innovative providers such as RZOLV Technologies and established mining giants such as Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle in a new strategic light.

Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle
Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

Double-digit start to 2026 for Plug Power, Nel ASA, CHAR Technologies, and thyssenkrupp nucera
Things are continuing as they ended in 2025: high volatility, challenging circumstances, and political upheaval. Now the guns are speaking again, because there is no peace in Ukraine after all, putting defense stocks back at the top of the shopping list. However, after years of decline, investors are now venturing back into the alternative energy sector. Since the hydrogen boom in 2021, the industry's protagonists have lost up to 90% of their share price value. So why not venture back into an area where money has not flowed for a long time? Biomass specialist CHAR Technologies is a newcomer on the scene. The rally started here in 2025 and is likely to continue. thyssenkrupp nucera is also worth a look. After being spun off from the Duisburg-based group, the lights appear to be green!

Solar, wind & co. with a breakthrough in 2025: Is now the time to buy Nordex, JinkoSolar, or RE Royalties stock?
The science magazine "Science" has declared the global boom in renewable energy the "Breakthrough of the Year 2025." The industry is booming. But shares in the sector are struggling. One share that clearly has catch-up potential is RE Royalties. The financing company has a convincing, diversified business model, and its dividend yield currently stands at a sensational 16%. The stock should really be moving higher. 2025 was very volatile for JinkoSolar. A halving of the share price was followed by a doubling. What do analysts say? One of the clear high flyers of the sector in 2025 was Nordex. Will the rally continue?

An unbelievable start to 2026: DAX record, WashTec leading the way, and BayWa, Mutares, and Steyr Motors gaining momentum
After a turbulent 2025, European investors are ending the year with solid portfolio gains. The EU confederation has decided to invest up to EUR 3 trillion in defense and to slowly increase the share of defense spending to 5% of GDP. These are huge investments in security, which at first glance will not affect consumers. In the long term, however, they are intended to create security and perhaps a new upward scenario for the ailing economy on the old continent. However, such massive spending will be largely debt-financed, as tax revenues alone are insufficient. This suggests that elevated inflation levels are likely to persist. Investors are therefore well advised to continue to reflect the positive outlook for global equities in their asset structure. The stock market is based on this paradox. High inflation means that the asset bubble will continue. Venezuela offers an extreme example - despite partial sovereign default and rampant inflation, its stock market rose more than 1,200%. Volatility will therefore remain a defining feature of markets, amplified by AI-driven trading models that increasingly anticipate human behavior. Against this backdrop, 2026 will demand strong nerves and disciplined stock selection. Best of luck navigating the year ahead.

Electricity as a bottleneck for AI? Different energy sources, different approaches: American Atomics, Nordex, Siemens Energy – Who is ahead?
The electricity demand of rapidly growing AI data centers is enormous. The uninterrupted availability of energy, including infrastructure and pricing structures, is a decisive guideline for the future. Green energy from solar and wind is often presented in public debate as the means of choice, but it comes with significant drawbacks. Last year, the US corporate giant Microsoft demonstrated that radically different approaches are possible. To satisfy the power hunger of its AI data centers, Microsoft signed a 20-year contract with a domestic energy provider for the supply of nuclear power. This deal sent a remarkable signal and is emblematic of a new trend: nuclear energy. American Atomics, a newcomer to the stock market, stands out as an exciting investment in this area.

APA Corporation, NEO Battery Materials, JD.com – Sector rotation ahead
2025 will once again go down in history as a strong year for the stock market. This is particularly surprising from a German perspective, as the DAX, long considered an underperformer, even outperformed the leading US market with a gain of over 20%. However, anyone who believes that the coming year will be a simple continuation of this trend is likely to be disappointed. Many market observers expect prices to continue rising, buoyed by AI investments, fiscal tailwinds, and robust earnings. At the same time, however, the risks of unexpected turns are growing. High valuations, possible sector rotations, and underestimated asset classes could make 2026 a year in which flexibility is more important than blind optimism.

Dividend comeback: Why Mercedes-Benz and VW look outdated compared to RE Royalties' model
In a market phase in which interest rates have peaked, and tech stocks are ambitiously valued, investors are once again turning their attention to the oldest source of income in stock market history: dividends. But the hunt for the highest returns often turns out to be a dangerous undertaking, because a high percentage payout is usually not a sign of strength, but a warning signal for falling prices or structural problems. While German automotive giants Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen attract investors with seemingly favorable valuations and generous returns, their business model is facing the most expensive transformation in history. In this environment, RE Royalties, a Canadian niche stock, is coming into focus. Its business model is specifically designed to generate stable cash flows from the megatrend of the energy transition without bearing the operational risks of an industrial group.

Impact investing, with super dividends into 2026 – Nike, RE Royalties, Adidas, Puma, and Infinity Development
Impact investing has become increasingly important in recent times as investors increasingly recognize that capital flows generate not only returns but also social and environmental impacts. In light of climate change, resource scarcity, and social imbalances, many market participants are no longer satisfied with using financial metrics alone as a benchmark. Regulatory authorities are promoting this development through stricter ESG requirements and greater transparency requirements for companies and financial products. At the same time, younger generations are demanding that their assets be consistent with their values and have a measurable positive impact. If you are looking for something, you will find suitable investments!
