Nel ASA, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Gamechanger in the battery market?
Due to the energy transition, the transformation of transport from combustion engines to vehicles powered by electricity is underway. Globally, this is drastically increasing the demand for batteries. The battle for the best efficiency and range is in full swing, not just among electric car manufacturers. To date, the most powerful storage devices for electrical energy on an electrochemical basis have once again come from China. However, a German company is poised to become the new standard on the market by developing a new coating method.

High-tech bottleneck: Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar, Nordex: Strategic metals are more necessary than ever!
In addition to the increased risks for the energy supply with primary energy sources, there is also a growing shortage of strategic metals in the industry. These metals are needed in almost all high-tech applications and are difficult to obtain on the world market. The problem is that the leading producer, China, could turn to Russia at any time and slam the door on the West in terms of supply. Without these metals, however, many essential components would no longer be able to be produced. Some tech stocks have already reflected the difficult procurement situation in their share prices. What are the current opportunities and risks?

Crash stocks: BASF, Meta Materials, Uniper, Nordex - Will there be a comeback like Tesla?
In stock market corrections that come from the interest rate and inflation side, when the relationship between inflation and capital market returns normalizes is critical. In the long NASDAQ upswing from 2019 to 2021, valuations doubled as future cash flows were extrapolated down to present value with minimal interest rates. That let potential market caps explode, and leveraged positions could also be taken at virtually no cost. Currently, the market is showing a different side. Negative real interest rates, high refinancing costs and increased margin calls are weighing on investors' minds. Some stocks experienced a real crash - will they bounce back soon like Tesla?

Quality is the trump card: Alphabet, MAS Gold, Amazon - Shares that always bring joy!
The capital market environment remains tense. Squeezed by historically rising inflation figures, which do not even reflect the reality at the supermarket checkout, and massively increased interest rates, the asset class equities are trying to manoeuvre through the summer. In the face of substantial price discounts on the bond market and stagnation in the real estate sector, investors are asking themselves: Where to put their money? The fact remains that the Russian conflict and the rise in the price of fossil fuels are putting the global economy under cost pressure, with a new surprise lurking almost every day as to which goods are simply out of stock or can no longer be supplied in the long term. In this mixed situation, selection is the trump card. We have a few ideas.

Netflix, Amazon, BrainChip - AI drives growth
Our future is connected and increasingly interactive. Streaming providers like Netflix are personalizing content thanks to machine learning systems, but the Company is running out of users. Meanwhile, Amazon's voice assistant Alexa is up and running. At its developer conference two days ago, Ambience Intelligence announced for the first time that Alexa would take over digital assists in the smart connected home in the future. In order for Alexa to become an independent learning entity in the first place, companies like BrainChip are creating just the right human-machine interface technologies. And smart home is just a small part of the huge AI growth market with smart neuromorphic chip technologies.

Turnaround stocks: BASF, Aspermont, TUI, Deutsche Bank - Breakout with significant momentum?
The recent bear market seems to be slowing somewhat. In addition to a good market technique, there are more and more indications that a gas delivery by Russia will likely take place after all. But one can never be sure about this topic. Too much East-West propaganda stands in the way of truthful reporting, and both sides of the conflict use every available news item for their own purposes. In any case, the stock market had to react after a strong technical oversell yesterday. It went up by 3% in just 30 minutes, led by the scolded BASF. TUI and Deutsche Bank also got some air under their wings again. Where do we go from here?

BASF, Meta Materials, Nordex - Shares under pressure, but with positive prospects
These are currently rough times on the stock market. Almost all segments are under pressure, and even investments with long-term prospects are trading at significant discounts. In many areas, the fear of a recession is great, but on the other hand, inflation is eating up money. Gold currently offers no protection against inflation and is looking for its bottom. So really, only stocks remain as an investment. It is important to find companies that will do good business in the future, even if the current situation does not look rosy. Nobody knows where the bottom will be formed, but you can start to build up first positions. Today we have picked out three stocks to build on in the long term.

Renewable energies in action: ThyssenKrupp, Altech Advanced Materials, Plug Power - Who is winning the race?
Steel is responsible for 8 to 11% of global CO₂ emissions. It is essential for the automotive and construction industries and the manufacture of industrial machinery. It also forms the basis for a number of decarbonization technologies, including wind turbines, generators and smart grids. Without companies like ThyssenKrupp, it would not be possible to build electric cars, which will run faster than Elon Musk can tweet, thanks to innovative battery technology from Altech Advanced Materials AG. GreenTech companies like Plug Power also need steel for their green hydrogen plants. And ThyssenKrupp needs green hydrogen for CO₂-free production. Who is winning the race in the green energy play?

Take advantage of the crash in these stocks: Infineon, Siemens, BrainChip and Apple in focus!
High-tech, cars, household appliances, smartphones, renewables - the list of products seems endless. What they all have in common is the need for smart chips: But the effects of the global chip shortage are omnipresent. From today's perspective, leaders would undoubtedly like to turn globalization back a bit because the relocation of production sites around the world is creating huge problems ranging from logistics to high procurement prices to completely destroyed supply chains. If Central Europe does not grasp its energy dependence on the East soon, hard times may lie ahead for local industrial locations. Where are the opportunities in a fragile environment?
