Rheinmetall, Thyssen, Defense Metals, Airbus: Fighting the war with these blockbuster shares
The German government has reaffirmed the need for a powerful army and anchored the 100 billion euro special fund in the constitution before the Whitsun recess. The reason why the Basic Law had to be used for this was supposedly due to the budget issue because the red and green members of the government, in particular, do not want the general budget to be diminished by defense spending. Now it is here again, the reversal of the "peace dividend"; for many years, Germany in particular was able to profit from the reduction in defense spending. NATO welcomes the German decisions and now sees Germany as a paying "full partner" again. This also finally puts to rest Trump's demand for Berlin to contribute more to NATO peacekeeping costs. Where are the opportunities for investors now?

ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Defense stocks as portfolio boosters?
The Ukraine crisis has been with us for over three months now. While many stocks went downhill at the beginning of the war, the situation was quite different for defense stocks. Here the quotations increased sometimes significantly. Of course, every investor has to clarify the moral question for himself. But if you want to invest your money in defense stocks, a few points speak in favor of an investment. On the one hand, there is the trend toward more defense spending, which has continued year after year since 2014. Second, confidence in Russia has been permanently shaken, and it will take years, if not decades, to repair the damage. We look at three companies that manufacture products for the defense industry.

Defense Metals, ThyssenKrupp, Allkem - Raw materials for armaments
Times of war have their own dynamics. Many sectors of the economy suffer from the uncertainties it brings. However, one sector can confidently be called a war winner because, without defense equipment, there is no war. The supplier industries are also among the profiteers, provided demand does not collapse elsewhere to a greater extent. In addition, the defense industry is increasingly being classified as sustainable, which opens up access to previously closed ESG portfolios.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, MP Materials - Until the next bubble bursts
In every crisis there are winners and losers. Due to the numerous lockdowns of the past two years, shares such as Netflix, Delivery Hero and Peloton, in addition to vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech and Moderna, are the winners. However, since Russia invaded Ukraine, defense shares, which were recently classified as "socially harmful", have become the new stars in the stock market sky. The call for rearmament by several countries is creating enormous valuation bubbles that are likely to burst again in the near future.

Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, Defense Metals: The scarce metals matter!
Some companies have been in the international spotlight since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis. This is primarily because they are seen as having an important role in resolving and ending the armed conflict. It is generally assumed that the Ukrainian people can only free themselves from Russia's grip with international support. Thus, it is perfectly legitimate to make investments where no need has been seen in recent years. The peace dividend that has been withheld for years is likely now coming back into circulation - the Ministry of Defense is now rearming after years of consolidation! Who can profit from these orders?

Regionalization as an investment idea: BYD, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall
The peace dividend has been depleted. For years, Europe imagined itself in a world without wars. Interdependence and joint trade were supposed to create a world order that would provide stability and balance. But for the past fifteen years or so, this concept has not been running smoothly. First, Putin set foot in Georgia, and later, he annexed Crimea. Since February, it has been clear even to the German government that peace and security will have to be worked hard for again. At the same time, as climate change necessitates action, the world is facing change. We highlight three stocks that could benefit.

The biggest crisis since 1945: Rheinmetall, Kleos Space, Airbus
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has spoken out in favor of supplying "heavy weapons" to Ukraine. For years, arms deliveries were a thorn in the side of the Greens. It is remarkable that Baerbock, who has always been considered "Realo", is now even counted among the "hawks" on the big international political stage. Even though critics from all ranks may interpret the move negatively, Baerbock is demonstrating pragmatism and toughness. These qualities could be the key to de-escalation in the most profound crisis since World War II. We examine the current economic climate and look at three companies and their shares.

BASF, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Shares that depend on rare earths
The Ukraine crisis has shown us how dependent we are on Russian energy imports. The German government now wants to step on the gas pedal even more for renewable energies. The problem is that new technologies such as electric vehicles or wind turbines almost always require rare earths. But rare earths are not only needed there; the defense industry needs these raw materials to optimize steel or as magnets in a wide variety of weapons technologies. But rare earths are also present in the household, in smartphones, notebooks and many other technological devices. Today we take a look at three companies around rare earths.

Turn of the times! Stock winners and losers: Rheinmetall, Ximen Mining, ThyssenKrupp
Disputes surrounding the Ukraine war are taking on various dimensions drawing wide international circles. After China, India's role in the conflict could now also increase. According to reports by Deutsche Welle, there have been lively exchanges between Russia and India in recent weeks. India is seeking a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and has recently begun to buy Russian oil. Cooperation between the two financial systems is also conceivable. That would give Russia access to the capital markets again.

Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Kleos Space - These stocks have the Ukraine perspective!
No one would have thought that the sense of peace and security that Europe has built over the past 75 years could dissolve in just 4 weeks. The war in Ukraine is taking on unimagined traits, with threats between East and West intensifying at what feels like 24-hour intervals. With each verbal attack by Joe Biden, communications become tighter and more threatening. What will our world look like after another 4 weeks? We do not know. At any rate, the capital markets are trying to price in the consequences of the war. They are still relatively optimistic, possibly even too positive, considering the enormous inflationary pushes and the still unclear economic effects. We look at some price outliers in this explosive environment.
