IMAGIS Technologies ( WKN A0BMQ2 )
Der Profiteur der Anschläge ( so weh es tut und so schlimm as Ganze leider ist ):
Nachdem feststeht, dass El-Kaida die Anschläge verübt hat, dürfte der Sicherheitsentwickler einen Kurssprung vor sich haben.
Das Unternehmen stellt die beste Software in Sachen Sicherheit her. Letzte Woche wurden zudem zwei neue Vertriebsvorstände vorgestellt.
IMAGIS Technologies ( WKN A0BMQ2 ) - eine interessante Aktie.
Riesiges Wachstum. In Canada und im Frankfurt/ München/ Berlin gelistet.
Im Moment in Ffm wenig Volumen. Aber das kann sich
schnell ändern. Womöglich nie mehr so günstig wie im Moment.
Neue High-Tech-Aktie mit Chancen
Wenn die Märkte allgemein in die Knie gehen, kann man mit einem breit
gestreuten Portfolio keine Gewinne mehr einfahren. Im besten Fall
verliert der eigene Aktienbestand nicht ganz so viel an Wert wie der
Gesamtmarkt. In solchen Zeiten greifen Profis zur Strategie des Stock
Picking: sie picken sich einzelne, sehr spezielle Aktien heraus, die so gut
dastehen, daß sie gegen den allgemeinen Trend zulegen. Und so eine
Aktie dürfe folgender Wert sein: Imagis Technologies.
Das kanadische Unternehmen ist Vorreiter einer ganz jungen
Technologie: Biometrische Identifikation. Computer erkennen Menschen
anhand von Körpermerkmalen - z.B. Fingerabdruck oder Augeniris - und
öffnen dann Konten oder Banktresore. Das klingt futuristisch, ist aber
Science Fiction von gestern. Denn Imagis hat mittlerweile eine Software
entwickelt, die die Gesichter von Menschen im Vorübergehen erkennt.
Damit kann man Verbrecher jagen, den Zugang zu Gebäuden regeln und
Kreditkarten vor Mißbrauch schützen. Potentiell ein Milliarden-Markt, um
den weltweit bislang nur zwei Unternehmen konkurrieren.
Gerade vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen furchtbaren Attentate sollte das Unternehmen wieder in den Blickpunkt geraten!
Das war nach dem 11. September auch schon so: Damals stieg der Wert in wenigen Tagen um 500%!
