Commodities
The world hurts as little as brutal commodity growth. However, a gold mine opened to investors. The record holder is lithium this year after investors were able to at least partially oversee the oncoming electromobility boom. The indispensable metal for batteries has risen in price by 255 percent since the beginning of the year, as supply does not meet demand and stocks are at a critical level.
Coal is attacking the 200% limit as the post-pandemic world demands more energy, even from sources that were still dirty yesterday. Over 130 percent of investors are in plain soda. It is used, for example, as a raw material for the ecological production of solar collectors, and the demand for them, wondering the world, is growing.

Shares
This year, the good old securities offered investors an order of magnitude lower returns than cryptocurrencies, but there was something to “touch”, namely the business plan of growing companies. One of the biggest players in the coal business, such as the American Peabody Energy, whose shares are 607 percent more expensive than at the beginning of the year, had such a one, albeit simple one.
Shares of US SilverBow Resources mapping offshore oil fields also benefited from the strong energy boom and related commodities. He has 450 percent of the shares in his account. This year’s performance trio, the American Ring Energy from the industry close to SilverBow, testifies to the fact that the energy industry is absolutely on top not only on the commodity markets, but also on the stock exchanges. Stocks earned about 420 percent.
But the stock exchanges as a whole also offered solid profits. For example, the Saudi market, for example, earned the stock marketers around 55 percent this year. Similarly, the more exotic stock exchange in Costa Rica, but a remarkable 45 percent was earned, for example, by the market in Tallinn.
Kryptoměny
This year’s growth of 23,555 percent represents a value that will no longer fit in any column. Such is this year’s story of the axie infinity coin related to the game of the same name, a concept close to the famous Pokémon. Translated into merchant numbers, this means that a teenager investing a thousand crowns in pocket money on January 1 has almost a quarter of a million at his disposal today.

Moreover, this year, Axie did not even suffer from the murderous volatility that investors are used to. The second is with about 11 thousand percent telcoin from the world of decentralized finance, the stellar trio closes the popular solana coin, with this year’s nine thousand percent.
Bonds
Bondy was not popular with investors for their lucrative athletics. This is all the more true in a situation where central banks have been hit by an inflation boom, which cannot be combated other than by raising rates and thus devaluing bonds. However, this market also has its favorites. For example, high-yield bonds with a CCC rating, that is to say, dusty.
Their pelmel was able to earn over ten percent in three quarters, because investors are looking for a return wherever possible. The entire high-yield bond market is then about five percent higher. The picnic can be a two percent yield on long-term US city bonds.
