Occidental Petroleum, Silver Viper, Micron Technology – New and old favorites
Debt reduction, geopolitical tailwinds, and a technical breakout in the energy sector are meeting structural supply shortages in precious metals and AI-driven demand for memory chips. While oil and gas producers are benefiting from "energy dominance" and tight supply conditions, silver explorers with high-grade projects offer leverage to the next upswing in precious metals. At the same time, semiconductor stocks are igniting the next stage of the AI supercycle, driven by scarcity, rising prices, and exploding data center demand.

Crash as a reality check for AMD and First Majestic: Why silver and AI are correcting while Almonty stands firm on rising tungsten prices
Market sentiment has shifted sharply in recent weeks: what began as profit-taking has developed into a real stress test for investors' nerves. The sectors most celebrated in recent months – AI stocks and precious metals – have taken a beating. Yet amid this turmoil, one phenomenon is emerging that should make investors sit up and take notice: the tungsten market is completely decoupled from the crash and, seemingly immune to Wall Street panic, is hitting new highs. Tungsten, the indispensable backbone of Western defense and heavy industry, is becoming more expensive while almost everything else is falling. In this environment, Almonty Industries is emerging as a quasi-monopolist with excellent prospects to deliver long-term gains for its shareholders.

Winners and losers in the silver shock: A look at the current situations of BYD, Silver North Resources, and Intel
A new battle over a familiar commodity is shaping the future of major global megatrends. Silver, critical for green energy, electromobility, and the electronics and semiconductor industries, is at the center of an explosive supply gap. The recent surge in silver prices is putting pressure on corporate margins, and like any crisis, it is creating both winners and losers. We therefore take a closer look at the current situation of BYD, Silver North Resources, and Intel.

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.

Pure excitement! Take advantage of the current correction with UMT United Mobility Technology, Aixtron, and AMD!
Tech stocks are currently correcting. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably an unbroken trend. AMD CEO Lisa Su expects the AI market to be worth USD 1 trillion by 2030. It is absolutely healthy to let some of the air out of the sometimes ambitious valuations. Apart from the well-known names, there are many mid-caps, small-caps, and micro-caps whose potential is only slowly being recognized. We take a look across the industry.

Fact check: After the correction comes the next rally! Ups and downs for Almonty, Aixtron, and Deutsche Pfandbriefbank
Zigzag! Buy, sell, buy again! What wild volatility we are seeing on the trading board! Palantir delivers dream numbers, exceeding analysts' estimates by 10%, only to drop 20% after a brief rally. Traders have a saying for this: "Buy the rumor, sell the fact." Indeed, this kind of market behavior is often seen around earnings releases. In the case of Almonty, the stock surged an explosive 700% in just eight months, only to lose 40% in the subsequent correction. For flexible investors, it is worth taking a closer look and not losing sight of the fundamentals. Here are a few ideas for rocking the boat or tucking stocks away à la Kostolany!

Three stocks, one trend: Jump on the momentum bandwagon with Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML
The stock market often rewards those who recognize a trend before it becomes mainstream. This is not about short-term speculation, but about identifying companies with strong fundamental tailwinds that can drive prices higher over the long term. This momentum is fueled by structural factors: global technology shifts, geopolitical realignments, and the reorganization of critical supply chains. There is a reason why the saying goes: Go with the flow! Almonty Industries, AMD, and ASML each embody these powerful forces and currently have strong momentum on their side. Let's take a closer look.

US industrial policy at a turning point – how shareholders stand to benefit: MP Materials, Intel, Almonty
The administration of US President Donald Trump has shaken things up considerably in its first few months in office. Some changes unsettle observers, while others could serve as a blueprint for other economic regions such as the EU. A good example of the latter scenario is the US's direct investments in companies that are essential to critical supply chains. Examples include rare earths producer MP Materials, chip developer Intel, and lithium company Lithium Americas – the US now holds shares in all three companies. We analyze the strategy behind this policy and what it could mean for other suppliers of critical metals, such as tungsten producer Almonty Industries.

Takeovers in the chip sector – Gold is unstoppable! Intel, AMD, Infineon, and Sranan Gold
The stock market is booming, and strategic partnerships are nothing unusual. Then last week came the bombshell: the world's largest chip designer, Nvidia, is investing billions in its rival Intel. The two semiconductor companies announced that Nvidia will acquire Intel shares worth USD 5 billion. They also plan to jointly develop chips for PCs and data centers in the field of artificial intelligence. That adds more fuel to the already overheated NASDAQ rally. A rate cut by the Fed on Wednesday also catapulted precious metals upwards. Gold touched the USD 3,700 mark, while silver broke through the next barrier at USD 43. The bull market continues, and as usual, it is high-tech stocks and gold stocks like Sranan Gold that are leading the way. Here is an important update.

Hard to believe: thyssenkrupp going public? New DAX highs with SAP, ASML, and Antimony Resources
With geopolitical tensions escalating with each passing day, it is becoming increasingly clear that reliable supply chains for industry and manufacturing are a thing of the past. German and European industry, in particular, are feeling the effects more and more as supply routes are increasingly restricted or even shut down completely as a result of growing sanctions. This scenario of scarcity is leading to increased sensitivity on the capital markets: long-term interest rates are rising, and risk parameters are skyrocketing. How are companies responding to this uncertain environment, and is there still hope for a revival of global trade? Which fundamental trends should investors pay particular attention to in light of this situation? There is a lot to be gained!
