A little oil and gas, a little data centers, a little dividends...

$AKER (-1,64%) - I added my first position in Aker to my portfolio today.

Aker is a Norwegian industrial holding company with deep roots in offshore oil production; however, after various forays into wind power, hydrogen, and CO2 capture (most of these businesses have since been divested or spun off into joint ventures), it is now also a data center operator.

First, the current figures, which sound very promising to me: P/E ratio = approx. 3.5 (!), dividend yield = approx. 4%.

The stock price just experienced a slight dip, which I see as a buying opportunity to finally move the company from my “watchlist” to my “portfolio.”

Here is a table showing the breakdown of the business segments:

Commodity shortages loom: "Good for investors, bad for the rest" / Which shares are worthwhile

Ok, the headline is a bit sensational. But cool interview from a René.

Among other things, it's about the commodities uranium lithium silver and copper

"The outlook for commodities seems good, as far too little has been invested in recent years. However, commodities as an asset class are not quite so simple and there can be nasty surprises. I spoke to Urs Marti, manager of the SIA Long Term Investment Fund Natural Resources, about what is important. I have to say: I've rarely had a guest talk to me in such a humorous way. And welcome to "Rene wants returns"!

Important points:

00:00 What can be learned from the price slump in lithium

05:56 The fluctuations in commodities

07:44 Too little has been invested and that will take its toll

09:45 The fatal impact of ESG on commodities

10:29 Is a commodity shortage looming in the next few years?

11:29 Four percent of production is lost every year

13:23 What could happen next with oil

14:04 The mistakes of the energy transition in Germany: the nuclear phase-out was the lignite phase-in

14:51 Switzerland is doing good business with cheap German electricity

15:49 The price of uranium has risen sharply - will it keep going up?

21:27 Where Urs Marti now sees opportunities

23:33 Not on the marketing straight at

commodities

25:18 Be careful with silver mines

26:30 What to consider when investing in

commodity companies 34:20 Politics is the problem with big companies

companies

35:21 European oil companies on the wrong track $SHEL (-0,16%)
$TTE (-0,51%)

36:17 Stocks that Urs Marti likes:

36:20 Glencore $GLEN (+0,77%)

36:54 Harbour Energy and Aker $AKER (-1,64%)

39:44 Cenovus $CVE (+1,02%)

I am continuing my search for potential stocks for the Tenbagger portfolio after Lynch. As it has been very US-heavy so far - strictly speaking, I have only invested in US stocks in this context so far - I have focused on the EU for the next stock. The search is not easy. There also seem to be certain sectors in which Lynch's criteria are simply standard for the industry, such as the paper industry. A more precise assessment of the individual values is therefore still necessary in a further step. However, the following companies have now been shortlisted:

• $AKER (-1,64%)
  
• $BILL (-0,77%)
  
• $BOL (-0,44%)
  
• $CEM (+5,51%)
  
• $KMR (-2,01%)
  
• $PFV (+0,56%)
  
• $TESB (-0,95%)
  
• $TRI (+1,05%)
  
• $WCH (-0,03%)
  

What do you think? Do you think one share is particularly interesting? 🤔
