Twitter, Alibaba, Triumph Gold - Inflation protection: Golden times for good stocks!
Inflation is galloping, with so-called "steepening" occurring in the bond markets. A steepening yield curve is historically often accompanied by a peak in the stock market in the following 9-15 months after the yield curve reaches a cyclical minimum. The last interest rate low was reached in August 2019 at minus 0.50% in the ten-year range, and it even managed to stay there until October 2020. The DAX reached its all-time high in November 2021 at over 16,300 points, 13 months after the previous interest rate low, then followed a 25% downward correction to 12,400 points. If inflation and the rise in interest rates do not moderate, things look bleak for the stock markets. Selection, therefore, remains key!

Turn of the times: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, NIO - Batteries over oil and gas!
The Ukraine crisis reveals a dangerous dependency. Central Europe is on Russia's energy drip. It is not easy to threaten Russia with sanctions when the oil and gas giant is also the leading supplier. For the primary supply of our population, any change in German-Russian relations is dramatic as long as we do not manage to build up alternatives. Of course, this cannot be done in just a few months but involves an investment cycle of the next 5 to 10 years. It will therefore be critical for the coming winter. The automotive industry has long recognized what threatens heating and district heating today. Move away from fossil fuels - towards batteries! Only who can build them?

BASF, Meta Materials, Varta - A huge new market is emerging here!
Science fiction or soon a reality? Metamaterials are artificial materials with specific optical, magnetic or electrical properties that do not exist in nature. These tiny innovative materials can be used in a wide variety of ways. A well-known example is stealth technology. Metamaterials can change the refractive index of light and thus guide the light around an object. The industry is still some way from mass production, but experts estimate that will soon change. As early as 2030, the market is expected to be worth USD 11 billion, with a strong upward trend.

TeamViewer, Aspermont, ProSiebenSat.1 Media - Which digital company shares have the greatest potential?
Since a possible end to the Corona pandemic has become apparent with Omicron, many shares of companies with a digital business model have come under pressure. However, the assumption that a return to normal life will cause the online business to slump is far from true for all companies. As an investor, you have to look at the fundamentals and the different business models to make the right decision. Today, we analyze three companies that we believe have upside potential.

The next e-car revolution: Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD
Higher, faster, further - and cheaper too? Manufacturers and suppliers of electric cars are breaking new ground these days with new battery compositions and innovative technology. At the same time, the aim is to make electromobility as sustainable as possible. That means traceable and transparent supply chains and the avoidance of metals from dubious sources. We get to the bottom of three interesting representatives from the electromobility field and tap into investors' opportunities.

Millions with innovations: BioNTech, Meta Materials, Varta
When the long-forgotten solar company SolarWorld went public in 1999, n-tv ran commercials that, from today's perspective, looked rather amateurish. At that time, too, only a few private investors were initially convinced by the Company. Years later, SolarWorld was a success story - investors from the very beginning had become rich. Even though the Company filed for insolvency in the meantime and burned a lot of money - SolarWorld investors of the first hour are mostly still wealthy. We explain where innovations can develop blockbuster potential.

BYD, Meta Materials, Salzgitter AG - Unabated rise
Inflation is rising relentlessly and is likely to last far longer than predicted by the monetary authorities at the beginning of the year. The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions have caused extreme price increases for energy and raw materials. Trade flows and supply chain relationships have also been severely impaired. Uncertainty about further economic developments remains high, but the price increases due to the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict are only partially reflected in the inflation rate to date. As a result, the industry can expect higher costs in the coming months. By contrast, producers of various materials are benefiting.

Stocks that change the world: TeamViewer, Perimeter Medical, Nordex
When new technology meets the right opportunity, things can go up quickly for companies. One example is the German company TeamViewer, which already had an established remote desktop solution that many users had heard of when the pandemic broke out. When we moved to the home office overnight but had to use software from the office, it made sense to install TeamViewer. Innovative solutions are also meeting with great demand in other industries. We analyze what this means for investors.

Meta Materials, Varta, Samsung SDI - This is the future!
Despite all international upheavals, the energy and climate turnaround remains one of the dominant issues of our time. For the moment, the race between hydrogen-based and battery-electric propulsion seems to have been decided. Tesla, Polestar, Lucid - at least in private transport, battery technology has currently prevailed. The crux of the matter remains the range, which is determined by the capacity of the electricity storage units. But energy generation also remains exciting in the course of the energy transition. So-called metamaterials, which redirect light and heat, can decisively improve our power generation.

The China stock rally - Alibaba, Hong Lai Huat, Tencent, Baidu: Buy or Sell?
What a rebound! For months, SEC threats pounded the Chinese ADRs on the NASDAQ. Lack of transparency, arbitrary government intervention and flawed accounting could negatively impact US investment goals. With her investment firm ARK, Cathie Wood was an early responder, blowing the whistle on Chinese tech stocks as early as mid-2021, but even her ARK Innovation ETF is down over 50% from the high. However, the Alibaba share took the cake, plummeting a full 75% from its high by mid-March 2022. In the aftermath of the sell-off, the Hang Seng Index made its most significant positive daily jump in 15 years, gaining 11% at its peak. Is this the turnaround now? We take a closer look.
