Stock market frenzy: Silver, high-tech, AI, or Bitcoin? 100% opportunities with Strategy, Finexity, Metaplanet, and TeamViewer
It is not exactly easy to keep a clear head as an investor at the moment. Political shortages of strategic metals, ever-new geopolitical flashpoints, and an enormous burden on Western households are weighing on the minds of stock investors. The fact that "long only" is becoming a profitable thesis in this environment is now a permanent novelty. Historically, after substantial upturns of more than 20%, there have always been periods of consolidation. However, these are no longer visible, and every day of waiting costs returns. Whether silver, copper, AI, or high-tech stocks, the hard-won fixed-income returns in the 2% range have already been wiped out since the beginning of the year. But there is one exception: if we consider the crypto market as an alternative to currencies and stocks, it has been on a noticeable hiatus since fall 2025. But in recent days, there has been a spring awakening here as well. We are looking for current opportunities!

Experts predict a silver boom up to USD 250! Should Rheinmetall, Silver Viper, and Aixtron be in your portfolio now?
The rise in the price of silver by over 160% in just 12 months is already phenomenal. But the upward scenario now seems inevitable: reports of imbalances in the physical delivery of futures contracts by institutional investors are leading to renewed price increases at every settlement date. Since the precious metal generated a strong buy signal at around USD 38, the price has been trending upwards. In yesterday's trading, it even exceeded the USD 80 mark. Allegedly, more than 700 million ounces of silver will be missing for the March settlement, which corresponds to 90% of total annual production. In addition to the very interesting silver explorer Silver Viper, we are also looking at Rheinmetall and Aixtron, two high-tech consumers of this critical metal. If deliveries fail, production lines could be halted for some time! Here are a few insights.

Car wash as a source of revenue: How WashTec combines the business models of Dover and Ecolab
Car washing has traditionally been considered a conservative business - steel, brushes, and water, with no major disruptions, or so people believe. But behind the scenes, a change is taking place that requires a reassessment of the industry. WashTec, the global market leader for car washes based in Augsburg, Germany, is currently shedding its role as a pure machine manufacturer and transforming itself into an integrated high-tech service provider. To understand the potential of this metamorphosis, it is worth looking across the Atlantic. While US industrial giant Dover Corporation demonstrates how lucrative the global scaling of hardware can be, Ecolab provides the blueprint for stable, recurring revenues through chemistry and process optimization. WashTec now combines precisely these strengths - machinery, chemistry, digitalization, and service - under one roof, positioning itself for investors as the industry's overall technological optimizer. We take a look behind the scenes.

The Pentagon gets serious for Boeing and Co.: US government backs Korea Zinc and ignites the turbo for Antimony Resources
Antimony was long a metal that attracted little attention. But that has changed abruptly with China's recent export restrictions and geopolitical escalation. The semi-metal is indispensable for the defense industry, from ammunition to high-tech alloys used by Boeing. To break its dependence on Beijing, Washington is now digging deep into the state coffers and supporting the development of domestic capacities through the industrial giant Korea Zinc. This government intervention is fundamentally changing the rules of the market and bringing North American explorers, such as Antimony Resources, which could supply the urgently needed raw material in a few years, into the spotlight of strategic investors.

The Wall Street leverage: What Bank of America's entry really means for Almonty - the MP Materials blueprint
Capital on the stock market is not all the same. There is "dumb" money that chases short-term trends, and there is "smart" money that actually shapes markets. The alliance between Almonty Industries and Bank of America is therefore far more than a simple financing round. It is an institutional seal of approval that, via access to the wealth management arm Merrill, opens the door to US private capital and enables a re-rating. Analysts such as D.A. Davidson had already confirmed this potential before the most recent capital increase with the high-profile lead bookrunner, issuing concrete price targets of USD 12 and pointing to massive revenue growth through 2028.

Selling pressure! Bitcoin slumps to USD 50,000? Caution with Strategy, Finexity, D-Wave, and Metaplanet!
Global financial systems are undergoing a period of rapid technological change. Time-critical calculations and enormous computing capacities are increasingly becoming the decisive factor in remaining competitive. When it comes to price discovery on electronic markets, technical connectivity and even the distance to the exchange's servers are now decisive factors in determining the best pricing on the markets. Algorithms can recognize when a large number of investors want to move in the same direction. State-of-the-art computer systems have long been executing trading decisions in fractions of a second, fundamentally changing the dynamics of the markets. At the same time, digital assets, blockchain architectures, and token-based platforms are creating a new ecosystem that is closely linked to these advances. However, an additional challenge is already looming: quantum computers. They pose the risk of making previously trustworthy networks vulnerable. How should investors position themselves?

Exploding commodity prices meet NASDAQ hysteria! Nordex, European Lithium, Siemens Energy, and Standard Lithium in focus
Metals, hi-tech, and defense - an explosive mix! All three of these industrial sectors are facing serious challenges. The scarcity of critical raw materials from a limited number of sources is leading to sharp price increases and jeopardizing important supply chains. Europe is responding with a collective rethink, as dependence on rare metals such as lithium and rare earths is increasingly becoming a strategic and political risk. A disruption in supply could abruptly halt the market penetration of electric vehicles. The recent extreme rise in raw material prices is driving companies such as European Lithium and Standard Lithium through the roof, while buyers of critical metals such as Nordex and Siemens Energy are finding themselves in difficulty. We shed some light on the situation!

Is the next super mine emerging here? Power Metallic Mines, Vale, Rio Tinto
History has shown what happens when resource properties turn into super mines. Many projects developed or acquired by companies such as Vale or Rio Tinto, for example, have been in production for many years and generate enormous returns. The Canadian company Power Metallic Mines, active in the province of Québec, has also been able to continuously expand its NISK project in recent years. Now, the team led by CEO Terry Lynch sees even more potential there. Here, we discuss what gigantic raw material discoveries can mean and why Power Metallic Mines' polymetallic deposit is considered particularly interesting.

More than 100%? Big Moves in gold and high-tech! Aixtron, Kobo Resources, Lanxess, and DroneShield
The next gold move is just around the corner. After the sharp rises in the third quarter, gold enthusiasts worldwide were already excited, and the USD 5,000 mark seemed a certainty. But things turned out differently: Unsurprisingly, the metal consolidated downward by a full USD 500 over the past three weeks. However, just below USD 3,800, the decline halted, and yesterday it was already climbing back to USD 4,100. The commodity market is still being driven by major uncertainty around the US shutdown and possible upcoming quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Fed. With the US debt ceiling again completely out of control at USD 38.5 trillion, a tangible solution is nowhere in sight. The sharp reduction in the current account deficit has brought little benefit to the US dollar, meaning that precious metals remain highly attractive against the backdrop of rising money supply and interest rates. Where should investors pay attention?
