Debacle for e-mobility? BYD, Varta, Almonty Industries, Nordex - Farewell from the Qatar desert!
The German national soccer team has experienced its next World Cup debacle and attracted even fewer interested people to their TV sets than during the first World Cup elimination 4 years ago. Even during the third-round preliminary match, TV figures remained comparatively low. The DFB women thus retain the viewer record in 2023, which is nice. E-mobility could also suffer a significant setback in 2023 because if electricity prices continue to rise and availability falls, charging stations could have to be taken off the grid. According to the ADAC, Switzerland is planning a speed limit of 100 and driving bans on non-essential private trips with e-mobiles to prevent the risk of blackouts. The decision will be made in the National Council on December 12. But the stock market is still betting on Tesla & Co - who are the profiteers?

Investment stories that inspire: Freyr Battery, Manuka Resources, BASF
In order to be successful with stocks in the current market situation, a thorough analysis of companies and their business models is required. Blanket instructions for action do not lead to success. Investment strategies such as the value approach and the focus on unconditional growth are not guaranteed to lead to success. What matters now are convincing investment stories! We take a look at three stocks that are currently in focus and check their future.

Who builds the best battery? Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, SFC Energy, IBU-tec - The entry is tempting!
Three years ago, the Chinese battery market leader CATL presented its cell-to-pack technology to the world for the first time. A new battery with this design is now said to give e-vehicles a range of 1,000 km and super-fast charging in just 10 minutes. According to CATL, the "Qilin" battery is more powerful than Tesla's 4680 cells. CATL plans to begin mass-producing the new battery in 2023. Whether the promised distance will be achieved, however, depends on the size of the installed battery and the vehicle's aerodynamics. In Europe and North America, research and development is also being carried out at full speed because the market for e-mobility still promises growth of over 30% per annum. What is the current status in Germany?

China as a risk factor? Here is how it looks: Uniper, TubeSolar, BASF
China has repeatedly been a source of risk in recent years: We think of the real estate bubble or the trade war with the US. Now, one of China's supposed plus points could become a risk factor: the authoritarian central regime in Beijing. In just four minutes, we explain what the nationwide protests against Chinese lockdowns mean and how investors can use foresight to gain information advantages.

Is this patent causing a rare earths quake? Nordex, Defense Metals, BYD
Wind power is a crucial component of the energy transition. Rare earths are used to increase the efficiency of wind turbines and electric motors. Dysprosium and terbium, in particular, are in demand. But although rare earths are anything but rare, they are only found in a few regions worldwide. Scientists at Darmstadt Technical University have now developed processes to use rare earths more efficiently. We explain the technology and shed light on three stocks related to rare earths.

Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Varta - Earning from growing tungsten demand
In 2021, 79,000 metric tons of tungsten were mined worldwide from existing mines. In 2015, production was still 89,400 tons. One might think that demand has declined and production has been cut back, but the opposite is true. According to the British Geological Survey report, demand will increase between 3% and 7% per year and will soon exceed available supply. But now, demand could increase significantly in the short term because US Department of Energy DOE researchers have found a way to charge electric cars in 15 minutes. This involves using a molybdenum tungsten niobate alloy as the cathode material instead of graphite. So we take a look at three companies around tungsten.

TubeSolar, Nordex, Siemens Energy - Energy drivers for the portfolio
German Engineering is a seal of quality, also abroad. What sometimes takes a little longer in development pays off in the long run. Solar system manufacturer TubeSolar from Augsburg can be pleased about a TÜV certification for its patented products. In Germany, the share of photovoltaics in the power grid rose by 11.2%, and worldwide the CAGR of PV installations increased by 32%. JinkoSolar, a leading Chinese manufacturer of solar modules, has also played a significant role in this growth. However, China shares entail risks. Siemens Energy is not without risk at the moment either. The management heads are changing in the internal takeover game of the Spanish wind energy company Gamesa.

BYD, Globex Mining, Nordex - When does it really start?
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. With tighter targets for climate neutrality and billions in subsidies, politicians are stepping on the gas. Renewable energies are the only way to achieve a CO2-neutral world. Despite the long-term rosy prospects, companies in the peace energy sector have corrected sharply in recent months, with even market leaders posting losses of over 50% on the stock market. This represents a new opportunity to participate in the energy transition over the long term.

JinkoSolar, TubeSolar, Nordex - Biden's promise brings tailwind
The 2022 UN Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh has been underway since November 6. UN Secretary-General Guterres said, "We are on the highway to climate hell with our foot on the gas pedal." If the world wants to make a difference, the major polluters must significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. The US, which ranks second only to China, seems willing to do so. US President Biden promised that the US will achieve the climate targets set by 2030. According to this, CO2 emissions will fall by 50% compared to 2005. Biden referred to the Inflation Control Act, from which around USD 370 billion is to flow into climate protection. Renewable energies play a major role here. Today we take a look at three companies from the sector.

The great race to catch up: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - Who will build the best battery?
The first major city in Germany is getting serious. From February 2023, diesel-powered vehicles in the Euro 4 emissions class will no longer be allowed to be used within the inner ring in Munich. This is a big step, as around 140,000 motorists will be affected by this exclusion. In the future, these drivers will have to park their vehicles at the city limits in order to use public transportation to get to the city center. This will have far-reaching consequences for businesses and restaurants, as on-site purchases of a larger nature will become extremely inconvenient for the owners of these vehicles. Politicians are betting everything on e-mobility, but what about developing powerful and environmentally friendly batteries?
