XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

Lilium, Saturn Oil + Gas, D-Wave Quantum – Big opportunities in the new stock market year
Companies in the artificial intelligence sector were undoubtedly the stock market stars of the past stock market year, 2024. This trend will also likely remain in favour with investors over the next 12 months. In addition, quantum computing stocks have come to the fore in recent weeks, and some have multiplied. After a weaker year overall in 2024, oil producers will likely become interesting following the correction. The future US president, Donald Trump, strongly advocates for fossil fuels, prioritizing them far above alternatives like wind power or photovoltaics.

Trump, Bitcoin and a gold rally in 2025? Barrick, Thunder Gold, Agnico-Eagle and D-Wave in focus
Geopolitical tensions, war, inflation, spiralling national debt and clueless politicians – a set-up that hardly impacted stock markets negatively in 2024. Fueled by immense expectations of productivity gains from high-tech advancements, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing in the coming years, valuations on the NASDAQ soared to unprecedented heights. The local DAX 40 index was also able to keep pace, albeit with reduced momentum. As the year ends just shy of December highs, major uncertainties in 2024 also sparked a rush for precious metals. A troy ounce of gold peaked at USD 2,790, while silver exceeded the USD 32 mark several times - prices not seen in years. Technical analysts now predict a super cycle for commodities. The key point: compared to the overheated high-tech sector, the current metal prices for mining stocks are more likely to produce upward surprises than profit warnings. The time is ripe for a selective entry.

Copper shortage, Crypto, and a hunger for energy! What is in store for Super Micro Computer, MicroStrategy, SAP and XXIX Metal Corp. in 2025?
Sharp increases in energy commodities are hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these initiatives and will become one of the key resources driving innovation in the coming years. Without the red metal, electric motors cannot be built and huge amounts of electricity cannot be transported over land. Copper is also a critical component in designing a completely new energy infrastructure. Trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are further exacerbating the energy shortage. Significant demand increases are expected in China and India, whose resource hunger impacts the entire planet. The race against time is already in its third round; new copper deposits must be developed urgently! Which stocks are at the forefront?

NASDAQ Super Boom! 100% returns still lurk with Alibaba, VCI Global, and Super Micro Computer; Amazon founder sells
Experts expect the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to lead to double-digit productivity gains in digitally configurable processes over the next few years. Not since the introduction of industrial robots have there been such leaps. The major Internet companies have long since prepared themselves for these developments. High computing power, automated sales processes, and a pool of trillions of user data points play into the multinationals' hands. They achieve billion-dollar profits with their networks almost effortlessly. Consumers are served exactly what interests them most and, above all, what they consume regularly. However, not all high-tech shares have been able to take off so far. What should investors pay attention to now?

Apple, Power Nickel, Volkswagen - New flights of fancy due to lithium resources
Apple shines with its new Mac Mini. Gone are the days of Intel processors. With their in-house M2 chips, a new consumer group of young creatives such as influencers, podcasters and other media professionals have an entry-level model at a fair price. No wonder the demand for metals like lithium is multiplying. The Canadian company Power Nickel can make excellent use of this boom. In its current drilling program, the results indicate high nickel deposits. This raw material is also of particular interest to Volkswagen. The group wants to invest in Canadian mines and is building six battery plants to produce and equip its EVs.
