BrainChip, Prospect Ridge Resources, ASML - Ready for the mass market
Sentiment on the stock market continues to cloud over. Investors worry that the US Federal Reserve will fight the sharp rise in inflation by intervening more quickly with several interest rate hikes, causing prices worldwide to plummet. There is hardly any movement on the precious metals market, with gold remaining in the USD 1,800 range. On the other hand, the stock of a next-generation chip producer, which seems ready for the mass market, has moved.

Novavax, Meta Materials, BASF - Innovations offer great return opportunities
Companies that provide innovations to solve existing problems are ideal investment targets. Filtering out suitable candidates is the most critical task for an investor. Some products require little explanation. For companies developing advanced technologies, patents can give an indication of the Company's future prospects. In any case, the market that the products can serve should be analyzed. Today, we look at three innovative companies.

Taiwan Semiconductor, BrainChip, JinkoSolar - Markup in the chip industry
The chip crisis was one of the most discussed topics of 2021. The shortage of semiconductors led to production stops, short-time work in the automotive industry, and skyrocketing prices. Even for the current year, manufacturers still do not see any relief on the market. In general, the semiconductor industry is in a strong state of flux. With the development of chips based on artificial intelligence, a new generation is now finding its way to the mass market. The best example is the Australian Company BrainChip, for which the doors to commercialization have been opened wide.

TeamViewer, Meta Materials, Deutsche Bank: Do your research and beat the market
Sometimes the technology that everyone has known for years becomes a game changer overnight. That is what happened at the beginning of the pandemic with the TeamViewer software. Sometimes things turn out differently, and innovations are so revolutionary that it takes a while for the market to recognize the potential. We examine three stocks for their innovation potential and explain whether or not the market understands the equity stories.

Bayer, Memiontec, Deutsche Telekom - With blue chips through inflation
When inflation rates started to rise in the USA and Germany, all sides initially said this phenomenon was temporary. In the meantime, it has become clear that the experts were wrong. Inflation has come to stay and brings inflation rates we have not seen for decades. In November, it was 5.2% in Germany. Typically, it would be the ECB's job to control inflation, but its hands are tied because of the interest rate problem. That leaves investors with the question of how best to protect their money. One option is to look at blue chips, three of which we will examine in more detail today.

BASF, Meta Materials, Siemens Gamesa - Significant acceleration
The stock market year 2021, an extremely successful one, is almost history. As expected, due to the Corona pandemic, vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech, Moderna and Valneva are among the new stock market stars. In the technology sector, chip manufacturers such as Nvidia and AMD performed particularly well, boosted by the shortage of semiconductors. Which themes will dominate the coming stock market year? In addition to cloud computing and artificial intelligence, companies focusing on new materials essential for the future are likely to benefit.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - The chip market remains hot
First and foremost, the automotive sector suffered from a lack of chips in 2021. Blaming everything on Corona alone is too short-sighted. The pandemic is certainly a factor, but the rapid economic recovery caught companies off guard. Added to this was digitization, partly also pandemic-related, which boosted demand for semiconductors more than the already high structural semiconductor demand. A few weather-related production stoppages and disrupted supply chains later, the situation was as it currently stands. Intel does not expect the situation to slowly calm down until 2023. Reason enough to take a look at three chip manufacturers.

+900% with Nvidia still not enough? Are Valneva and BrainChip on the verge of a breakthrough?
2021 was not a good year overall for technology and growth stocks. In particular, companies with a business model not yet profitable had a hard time. They included Peloton and Zoom. One of the top performers in the Nasdaq-100 was the Nvidia share. The chip giant benefits from several trends at once, such as artificial intelligence and the metaverse. If UBS has its way, then 900% price gains in the past three years are not enough. For the analysts of the Swiss bank, the chip stock is the "Top Pick 2022". BrainChip is still a long way from the chip Olympus, but the Company could make a breakthrough in the coming year. The same applies to Valneva, as many are waiting for the dead vaccine, and the stock is still valued relatively low.

BioNTech, Memiontec, Bayer - Catastrophic conditions
There is no question that the Corona pandemic must be fought by all means. Nevertheless, apart from the virus and the question of vaccination, testing and boosters, there are far worse problems on our planet. For example, did you know that in the top daily news, it is reported that some 2.2 billion people have no sustainable, safe and readily available access to drinking water? Or that 361,000 children under the age of five die each year from diarrheal diseases caused by dirty water and contaminated food? The issue of water will be increasingly prominent in the headlines over the next few years. You can already invest in tomorrow's winners.

Apple, Meta Materials, Daimler: Tesla looks down the tube
Innovation is everything when it comes to gaining new market share. Those who lead the way in innovation automatically have a head start that few competitors can catch up on. Just think of Apple's iPhone. By the time Samsung caught up with the Android operating system, the tastiest pieces of the pie had already been distributed: Those who have no problem spending EUR 1000 for a smartphone have often been loyal to Apple since the first years of the iPhone. And that is one of the reasons why Apple is posting good figures quarter after quarter.
