The start of the week in Germany has been mixed. At 15,937 points, the German benchmark index DAX is almost unchanged from the close of trading last Friday. No impulses are expected from the U.S. today, as the stock market there remains closed for the holiday. The MDAX last traded at 34,667 points (+0.24%), TecDAX at 3,563 points (+0.53%) and SDAX at 15,872 points with 0.07% in the red. Detached from the indices, investors have special opportunities today in individual stocks.

    Bet on a reverse movement?

    Unilever is one of the heavyweights on the stock exchange and, with 4,900 executed orders, is at the top of the most traded shares on Tradegate. The share is currently trading at EUR 44.055, down 6.56%. Those who bet on falling prices at the beginning of that trade were able to achieve a good performance, as the share starts the day at EUR 47.20. The share of BioNTech is also lighter today and was last quoted EUR 169.30 about 1.5% in the red. With over 4,000 executions, the stock ranks second most active company on Tradegate today.

    More than one million ounces of gold creates stability

    Canadian gold company Desert Gold Ventures surprised the market today with a positive announcement. The company has identified deposits of approximately 1.07 million ounces of gold on its lands in previous exploration and drilling programs - split into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 310,300 ounces and Inferred Mineral Resources of 769,200 ounces of Gold.

    Desert Gold’s President & CEO Jared Scharf commented, “The publication of this initial Mineral Resource is a significant milestone for the Company and represents a great starting point. We believe, that with more drilling, the Company will be able to significantly expand on these resources and develop new resource areas like the Gourbassi North West discovery. We expect a busy 2022 as we work towards a 20,000 metre plus drill program with high expectations of the results.”

    Desert Gold's shares are up 3.96% to EUR 0.1025. The market capitalization is currently EUR 15 million, hard to imagine that the valuation will remain so low permanently.

    The reporting season could hardly be more contrasting. While Evonik is impressing with higher earnings, Heidelberger Druck is shocking the market with a profit warning. Meanwhile, Desert Gold is on the verge of its first precious metal production. Analysts consider all three stocks to be undervalued. Research firm GBC even sees enormous upside potential of more than 600% for Desert Gold. Are these stocks now poised for a fundamental revaluation, or are investors knowingly walking into a value trap? We take a closer look!

    Multimillion-dollar contracts and fresh capital: Zefiro Methane profits handsomely from America's legacy liabilities! Bullish analyst price target!

    • Methane
    • Greenhouse gases
    • Orphaned oil and gas wells
    • Acquisitions

    Created and published on behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.

    America's oil and gas industry is leaving behind a costly legacy. Several million orphaned wells require professional plugging and site remediation. Methane leaks from these wells pose a major problem that remains insufficiently recognised by the general public. Methane is one of the most damaging greenhouse gases, with around 80 times the global warming potential of CO₂ over the first 20 years. The professional decommissioning of these legacy sites is therefore becoming increasingly important and is receiving growing political attention through funding programmes worth billions. Zefiro has established itself as a hidden champion in this field in the US. A government order backlog of around USD 40 million provides planning certainty, while the recently completed capital increase lays the foundation for accelerated growth and acquisitions. Analysts believe the share price could triple.
