Everyone is talking about gold again - the price is scratching the USD 3,000 mark and analysts still see room for improvement! 📈 But what is behind this rise? Is it still worth getting in, or is a correction looming?

💡 Why is the price of gold rising so sharply?

🔸 Central banks as gold buyers - Countries such as China and India are buying gold on a massive scale to make themselves less dependent on the US dollar.

🔸 Inflation fears & recession worries - Gold remains THE safe haven in economically uncertain times.

🔸 Weakness of the US dollar - A weaker dollar continues to drive demand for gold.

🔸 Geopolitical tensions - Conflicts and trade wars increase investors' need for security.

📊 Expert forecasts for 2025:

🔹 BNP Paribas: Gold above USD 3,100 in the next few months?

🔹 London Bullion Market Association: Average gold price at USD 2,737 in 2025?

🔹 Some analysts are even talking about USD 3,500 as the next target!

📢 Buy now or wait?

Some experts warn of a possible correction - others see only the beginning of a mega rally! 🚀

💬 What do you think? Will the gold boom continue, or will things get dicey soon? Are you invested or are you waiting for better entry opportunities?

🔥 Leave a like if you have gold in your portfolio! 💛

The markets remain volatile and in times of crisis many investors look for stable investments. But which sectors and companies have historically proven to be particularly resilient or could even benefit?

Consumer staples - products that will always be needed

Companies such as Procter & Gamble $PG (-0,76%) Nestlé $NESN (+2,09%) or Coca-Cola $KO (+0,82%) benefit from their strong market position and stable cash flows. People are always buying household products, food and beverages.

Healthcare sector - crisis-resistant growth stocks

Companies such as Johnson & Johnson $JNJ (+1,02%) , Eli Lilly $LLY (-3,56%) or Novo Nordisk $NOVO B (+0%) supply medicines and treatments that are in demand regardless of the economic situation. There is a particular focus on the boom in diabetes and obesity therapies.

Providers - Stable income through basic care

Companies such as NextEra Energy $NEE (+0,71%) Duke Energy $DUK (+0%) or Southern Company $SO (+0%) are benefiting from the constant demand for electricity and water. Renewable energies are also playing an increasingly important role.

Commodities & gold - hedging against inflation & uncertainty

Gold mining companies such as Barrick Gold $ABX (-1,82%) or Newmont $NEM (-2,32%) often benefit in times of economic uncertainty, as investors flee to gold as protection against crises.

Defense & Armaments - Profiteers of geopolitical tensions

Rising military spending worldwide makes companies such as Lockheed Martin $LMT (+0,01%) or Northrop Grumman $NOC (-1,11%) into potential winners of long-term conflicts and global uncertainties.

This is just a small selection of companies. But hopefully it gives a small insight into the interesting crisis-proof sectors.

Defensive investors could now focus on consumer staples, healthcare and utilities for long-term stability. Opportunity-oriented investors could look to commodities, gold or defense if geopolitical tensions continue to rise.

Hi everyone,

Barrick Gold $ABX (-1,82%) presented quarterly figures today.

The mining company beat expectations in the fourth quarter of 2024 (USD 0.41) with adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.46, while sales were slightly below forecasts.

Gold and copper production increased and the company announced a USD 1 billion share buyback program and a dividend of USD 0.10 per share #dividends .

Gold production is expected to decline slightly in 2025.

As an absolute fan of gold and the corresponding shares, I remain invested, and I also think that the sharp rise in the gold price will help the company a great deal.

Hello everyone,

At the end of last year, I published my "top picks list" here, in which I presented the stocks that I have put on my watchlist for 2024 and am also partially invested in (unfortunately not in all of them 😁).

At the time, I had compiled a list of stocks recommended by well-known analysts and put them through "my requirements profile". The original 100 stock ideas then became the list below. A year later, I'm looking back. This was the performance:

🟢 $TMUS (+1,93%) +1,63%

🟢 Sterling Infrastructure: +100.68%

🟢 $CRM (-5,58%) Salesforce: +28.14%

🟢 $RR. (+0,64%) Rolls-Royce: +92.56%

🟢 $MOD (-14,01%) Modine Manufacturing: +98.68%

🟠 $MHO (-7,33%) M/I Homes: -1.46%

🟢 $META (-7,03%) Meta: +68.52%

🟢 $MCD (+0,75%) McDonalds: +0.14%

🟢 $MA (+0%) Mastercard: +26.26%

🟢 $ISP (-7,5%) Intesa Sanpaolo: +45.44%

🟢 $ISRG (-2,41%) Intuitive Surgical: +59.62%

🟠 $GCT Gigacloud Technologies: -0.66%

🟢 $FDX (-12,02%) FedEx: +11.11%

🟠 $LPG (-9,36%) Dorian LPG: -47.70%

🟢 $COST (+0%) Costco: +43.34%

🟢 $US1011372067 Boston Scientific: +63.23%

🟢 $BKNG (-6,59%) Booking: +44.19%

🟠 $ABX (-1,82%) Barrick Gold: -14.73%

🟢 $APP (-7,52%) Applovin: +753.81%

🟢 $GOOG (-3,48%) Alphabet: +39.28%

🟢 $AMZN (-6,32%) Amazon: +48,05%

🟢 $ANF (-10,39%) Abercrombie & Fitch: +69.99%

As you can see, my stock ideas have done quite well. $APP (-7,52%) with +753.81% was of course a big hit. $DORIAN With -47.70% it was a pipe-dropper.

🔥 I'm currently working on my top picks list for 2025. If you're interested, I'll be happy to share it again and put it up for discussion!

💬 What were your top picks in 2024? And what were the losers? I will reply to every comment and give you a brief assessment.

The Iran attacks again Israel with missiles again because Israel is smoking out their network of Hezbollahs in Lebanon and Iran wants to save face so as not to look weak. Everyone wants to have the last word down there. Financial markets and cryptos are falling as a result. Precious metals, oil and defense stocks are rising.

The same thing happened back in April when Israel sent a VIP into the sky. Many YouTubers immediately called for a third world war. They were wrong, of course, because the world has rarely ended before. After a few days it was all over and the iran. Most of the missiles and drones were intercepted and neutralized.

The S&P 500 fell by just 4,46% from 11 to 19 April. That was only six trading days and the panic was in vain again. Buying / buying later was the right decision at the time. Opinions? #gold
