Rheinmetall's boom in demand, Power Metallic Mines' key role in critical raw materials, and BYD in crisis?
The global hunt for strategic metals is driving markets into breathtaking volatility. Military expansion and the electromobility boom are driving demand for key raw materials, while geopolitical rifts pose a threat to supply. Whoever masters these bottlenecks controls future technologies and security-critical chains. Investors sense opportunities worth billions, but only a few players are positioning themselves decisively at the critical points. We therefore take a look today at Power Metallic Mines, an indispensable supplier, as well as Rheinmetall and BYD, which represent the raw material-hungry industries.

Will Trump seize Greenland's resources? 300% opportunity with MP Materials, European Lithium, CRML, Glencore, and DroneShield
US President Donald Trump has recently reaffirmed his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland. In April, he did not rule out military options and called control over the island an "absolute necessity" for US security. At the same time, negotiations are underway on the possibility of binding Greenland more closely to the US through a special agreement, a so-called Compact of Free Association (COFA), without formal annexation. However, the Danish government and the Greenlandic administration have signaled their clear rejection: Greenland is not "for sale" and its residents have no interest in becoming part of the US. Rising global tensions and the increasing scarcity of strategic raw materials are putting pressure on industry. The first effects are already being felt, particularly in the high-tech and defense sectors. A rush on strategic metals is underway - and investors are taking notice.

Success through foresight – The secrets of top CEOs: AJN Resources, LVMH, and Amazon
Managers are often portrayed by the public as soulless and interchangeable. But true visionaries still exist. Following in the tradition of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, they make tough decisions early on, thereby preparing their companies to be future-ready. History shows that it can be well worth swimming against the tide at first in order to ultimately go with the flow. We examine key decisions made by Amazon, LVMH, and AJN Resources and demonstrate how foresight can unlock opportunities for investors.

Steyr Motors, Power Metallic Mines, BYD – From unique selling point to market leader
In the context of geopolitical tariffs and green transformation, drive technology, raw material extraction, and e-mobility are merging into key sectors. While US automotive tariffs are setting new rules from 2025, three players are driving systemic solutions: Steyr Motors, a pioneer in high-performance hybrid engines; Power Metallic Mines, which is setting ESG standards with carbon-neutral nickel; and BYD, which is dominating e-mobility through innovation. Their strategies – technological sovereignty, vertical integration, and resource-efficient ecosystems – demonstrate how the apparent contradictions between decarbonization and industrial reality can be overcome. Three companies, one mission: to shape the value chain of tomorrow.

BYD, Nova Pacific Metals, Nordex – From raw materials to electric vehicles or wind turbines: The strategies behind the boom
In a world caught between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies in seemingly different industries are driving the green transformation with disruptive technology and strategic foresight. In recent months, the EU has announced two infrastructure packages worth billions for renewable energies and critical raw materials. Whether e-mobility, mineral raw materials or wind power – they all share one goal: to redefine their sectors. However, the starting point is always the raw materials needed for the electrification of the world.

Covestro, Globex Mining, and Deutz with significant momentum
The rising demand for industrial metals from the renewable energy sector and the increased demand from the defense industry due to the current geopolitical shift pose significant challenges for the Western world. In addition to exploring its own deposits, an improvement in trade relations with China would be desirable. However, following the visit of the Minister of Economic Affairs to China's most important trading partner, this wish has receded into the distant future.

Rapid energy transition, metals remain in demand! JinkoSolar, Globex Mining, BYD and VW under scrutiny!
"Goodbye Hydrogen" - that is how investors in H2 stocks might title their investment success in 2023. On average, shares in the booming sector lost up to 85% in 2021. But the year is not over yet. Plug Power shares were hit hard last week, experiencing a sell-off of over 35% after the Q3 figures. The fundamental environment was ignored for many months, but now gravity is returning and sending overvalued stocks into the cellar. It is an environment for buyers willing to conduct some analysis. We help navigate the figures.

Clean energy clearly in buy mode! Plug Power, Siemens Energy, Regenx Tech, Nordex - Clean returns instead of summer blues!
The energy turnaround will be challenging, as is now well-known in Berlin. Those who wish to completely abandon fossil energy supply must make significant investments in the future. Alternative technologies for energy generation are already on the horizon, but the implementation up to the grid connection is complicated and requires resources. Unfortunately, the anticipated reduction in CO2 savings will only materialize after more than 15 years of operation, so the expected positive environmental scenario is also a long way off. It is also evident that high-quality and rare raw materials must be transferred to a circular economy, as their availability is limited. Where are the opportunities for investors in the long process of energy rebalancing?

Raw materials war - is China getting serious? BASF, Mercedes-Benz, Almonty Industries
Energy transition, smartphones, semiconductors, armaments and more are driving our hunger for critical raw materials. But woe betide if China gets serious and severely restricts the export of critical raw materials. There is already a foretaste: the minerals gallium and germanium can no longer be exported without Beijing's approval. China is by far the leading producer of critical raw materials and rare earths. The EU gets 71% of its gallium and 45% of its germanium from China. So it urgently needs alternative suppliers. In the case of tungsten, Almonty Industries could provide supply. The Company is on the verge of starting operations at a huge mine in South Korea. From 2024, sales and profits are expected to climb sharply. Mercedes could also benefit from this. The Stuttgart-based company has just announced plans to invest billions more in electromobility. BASF, on the other hand, is going straight to China.
