Gold above USD 4,000, Bitcoin and NASDAQ reeling! Formation Metals on the rise, panic at Metaplanet and DroneShield
A few weeks ago, the US government declared a state of emergency over critical metals. This triggered a massive run on all stocks related to strategic metals such as rare earths, uranium, and lithium. The announcement also proved decisive for the gold and silver markets, which have been setting new all-time highs since October before recently entering a consolidation phase. At the start of the week, buying interest in gold and silver returned, while former tech high-flyers like Metaplanet and DroneShield suffered heavy losses. For investors, the current panic across parts of the tech sector could present an opportunity. Commodity markets have been dormant for years and are now being flooded with unprecedented amounts of capital. Where should investors position themselves now?

Silver boom continues unabated – Take advantage of setbacks at Silver North Resources, First Majestic, and SMA!
In light of geopolitical tensions and real purchasing power losses, precious metal prices are on the rise – and there is no end in sight. While gold is traditionally considered a "safe haven," silver has even more advantages, as it is also in high demand from industry. Around 10 to 15% of global silver production is demanded by the solar industry each year. Silver is indispensable because it is the best electrical conductor, thus maximizing power yield. Therefore, there are significant interdependencies between solar module manufacturers, as consumers of silver, and suppliers such as silver producers.

The secret formula for stable returns: BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen
In uncertain times, investors long for stability. Dividends not only generate returns but, above all, offer stability. The focus is shifting from speculative hype to companies with sustainable dividend policies. These quality characteristics can be found not only in large index heavyweights but also in specific niches. Three established names that should be examined more closely in this regard are BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen.

New developments in drones – Is a growth spurt on the horizon? NEO Battery Materials, LG Chem, Albemarle
The war in Ukraine has triggered a boom in micro drones – and with it, a surge in demand for specialized battery technology. Ukrainian forces are increasingly relying on swarms of low-cost mini drones to counter larger unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), such as Iranian Shahed drones. Several trends are emerging here for investors: demand for high-performance small drone batteries is soaring, while stable supply chains free of geopolitical risks are becoming more critical than ever. This is precisely where the up-and-coming company NEO Battery Materials comes into play.

Playing megatrends with the right stocks – NEO Battery Materials, XPeng, BYD
"The trend is your friend" – this is a well-known stock market adage that advises investors to take advantage of a stock's upward trend and let profits run. For investors, it is often worthwhile to focus on so-called megatrends - sectors expected to achieve dynamic growth over the coming years or decades, thanks to sustained high demand, for example, in terms of technology or socio-demographics. Artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as everything related to the defense industry, are currently very popular. Equally exciting are the areas of electromobility and battery technology. China dominates the market, and this strong position is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. However, innovations from players outside China, such as those from NEO Battery Materials, are particularly exciting. The Canadian company is implementing innovative approaches and processes that could contribute to meaningful advancements in the global battery market.

100% even before Black Week! Artificial Intelligence is now live! Palantir delivers, UMT goes full throttle, TeamViewer and D-Wave crash!
What a daily rollercoaster ride! In the past two trading weeks, the NASDAQ dropped several percent on multiple days, followed by equally sharp recoveries. Some would call it directionless, while others see the increased volatility as a precursor to falling prices. Yet, far removed from price developments, operational AI models are performing at peak levels, enabling companies to make the next quantum leap in the administration, organization, and management of recurring activities. The stock market has quickly identified its favorite candidates and sent their prices soaring, but there are followers that are already well established in practice yet remain largely unnoticed. UMT United Mobility Technology is one such gem. We take a closer look.

Finding true value in the stock market! DroneShield, Palantir, and Globex Mining in Focus
Irrationality has become the new norm on the capital markets. While global economic growth has been stuttering for years, tech stocks on the NASDAQ are celebrating daily. Cautious voices are often ridiculed because, according to statistics, they are only proven right every 5 to 7 years. The penultimate sharp correction occurred 7 years ago in the fall of 2018, followed by two more, in 2020 and 2022, triggered by the pandemic and war. Since then, markets have been climbing almost relentlessly. The highly regarded DAX and NASDAQ indices have more than doubled since those corrections. Meanwhile, the Shiller P/E ratio has risen from 18 to 37 – incidentally, it peaked at 40 two weeks ago. Since then, volatility indicators have been reluctant to fall. The nervousness is palpable! We are using this most challenging of investment periods to reflect on what true value really means.
