Nvidia, Manuka Resources, Aurora Cannabis - All the rage
The stock markets continue to boom. The DAX was able to climb above the psychologically important 18,000-point mark, at least in the short term, while other asset classes, such as gold and Bitcoin, also reached new highs. By contrast, different sectors, such as hydrogen and cannabis, have continued to plummet in recent weeks. The latter, in particular, has received an upward boost from the US government's statements, which could herald a trend reversal.

Infineon, Saturn Oil + Gas, Block - Things are heating up here
Last week, all eyes were on chip giant Nvidia, which once again surprised Wall Street with a positive performance and a net profit increase of almost 770%. In Germany, Allianz also made headlines with a record profit and a significant dividend increase. In contrast, a report that could significantly impact the future of green technologies, with positive signals for the oil and gas industry, went somewhat unnoticed.

Nvidia, Saturn Oil + Gas, PayPal - Money printing machines for the portfolio
In an economic landscape that is becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable, the movement of interest rates plays a crucial role for companies and investors alike. In particular, the recent phenomenon of rising interest rates has drastically changed the rules of the game for those seeking capital. The incentive to invest capital in companies without a proven business model or secure cash flows is decreasing noticeably. Instead, companies that generate solid profits are increasingly becoming the focus of investors. Investors are now looking more at profitability than possible future prospects. We have picked out three companies that are making money and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

COP28 a toothless tiger? Nel ASA, Klimat X, Nvidia, and Plug Power in the climate change check!
Another earth-shattering climate conference is behind us. The outcome was as sobering as it was predictable. Around 200 countries were able to agree on measures to reduce fossil fuels, but the Gulf states insisted on their right to continue the business model of oil and gas production that has been successful for decades. This makes it clear that the availability of fossil fuels will continue on a large scale because the BRICS states, such as Russia, China, India and Brazil, will continue to exploit their fossil resources unabated. Incidentally, international conflicts only work with fuels and not with battery-powered drives. So, if you consider the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East with their accompanying environmental destruction, there is no need to invent bans on European diesel vehicles. However, there are a few glimmers of hope for a greener future...

Blackrock Silver, BYD, Infineon - Silver: The new gold of the technology sector?
There is currently an attractive opportunity for investment in silver as it plays a key role in the growing e-mobility sector and chip manufacturing. The increasing production of electric vehicles is driving the demand for silver. Simultaneously, silver is becoming increasingly important due to its use in highly conductive pastes for the progressively sophisticated chip manufacturing industry. These developments could lead to a sustained increase in demand and make silver a potentially lucrative investment. Precious metal prices have already risen sharply.

Artificial Intelligence in Sellout! Nvidia, Defense Metals, ARM Holdings - Nothing works without rare earths!
After long bull market movements, the stock market usually tends to rotate sectors, or the market enters a general consolidation. In the former case, investors can profit by reallocating their assets while exploring new investment opportunities. In the latter case, all stocks come down, and the capital market generally suffers from a change in sentiment and corrects recently exaggerated valuations. In the case of the new megatrend of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the stock market seems to sense a great need for correction. As if by magic, the blockbuster stock Nvidia rose by 250% in just 9 months. However, it has already retraced nearly 20% from its peak. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

NVIDIA, Defense Metals, Alibaba - Tensions between China and the US are on the rise again
During the BRICS summit, it was announced that six new countries will join the alliance on January 1, 2024. These countries include Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Egypt, and Ethiopia. This development might not sit well with the United States, as it could threaten the dominance of the US dollar. In addition, there are tensions with China over Taiwan. In July, the Middle Kingdom limited exports of rare earths. China has now added fuel to the fire by banning government officials from using iPhones. Before this, the US restricted exports of NVIDIA's AI chips to the Middle East. Tensions are rising, making it a good time to look at three companies affected by these developments.

AI hype soon over? Deutsche Bank, NVIDIA, Globex Mining
In September 2022, NVIDIA and Deutsche Bank announced an innovation partnership focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal: to enhance and secure financial services. A lot has happened since last year's announcement. AI is seen as a productivity booster and "the next big thing." The prices of shares such as NVIDIA have also multiplied since then. This even makes partner Deutsche Bank uneasy. We highlight risks and show alternatives.

Adyen - a warning signal for NVIDIA and Co? Power Nickel as an alternative
Growth is the fuel of the markets. When business is booming, and additional excitement is generated, stocks can turn a small fortune into a large one. For example, those who invested in the shares of the Dutch payment service provider Adyen in 2019 saw their investment more than quadruple by 2022. However, since last week, the stock has been plummeting. We explain why Adyen serves as an example for potential upcoming crashes and specifically targets the chip sector - could giants like NVIDIA be heading for a crash soon? Additionally: What investment alternatives are available?
