Two opportunities on German stock market: K+S und Lufthansa (27.09.2016)

K+S, a German producer of кalium salt, has reached its historical minimum, falling intraday below €16. .

Figure 1: on 27.09.2016 K+S came very closely to its historical minumum

The cause is allegedly the downgrade by Deutsche Bank (Sell, target €14).
(Well, Deutsche shall rather think about itself, it will likely have to pay up to $14.000.000.000 fine and Frau Merkel says, she is not going to help).

Yes, K+S experiences bad time but fundamentally nothing has happened. Moreover, whether the Deutsche Bank analysts are really impartial is a big question. Additionally, the potassium price is currently quite low; likely it will grow. It is hard to estimate risk/reward ratio quantitatively but I am quite sure it is promising. I recommend to invest up to 2% of your capital in K+S stock (I, myself, have invested 4% update 28.09.2016: the stock grew 2.5%, so I sold and reduced its weight in portfolio to 3%, update 04.10.2016: I sold 1% more with small profit, the remaining 2% will be kept in mid/long term) with planning horizon about a year.

Another opportunity is Lufthansa. It is, however, less distinct, thus we give no recommendations; though I, myself, invested 2.5% of my trading capital in its stock (update 28.09.2016: 1.5%).

on 27.09.2016 Lufthansa dived below €10.00 but still there is some space till the bottom
