Born in Munich, he first studied economics and graduated in business administration at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in 1995. As he was involved with the stock market at a very early stage, he now has more than 30 years of experience in the capital markets. In the historic dot.com year 2000, he trained as a CEFA analyst in Frankfurt and has since then accompanied over 20 IPOs in Germany.
Until 2018, he held various positions at banks as an asset manager, capital market and macro expert as well as fundamental equity analyst. He is passionate about the energy, commodity and technology markets as well as the tactical and strategic asset allocation of liquid investment products. As an expert speaker at investment committee meetings of funds as well as at customer events, he can still describe the course of the 1987 crash, one of the major buying opportunities of the last 33 years on the stock market.
Today, he knows that the profit in shares is not necessarily the result of buying cheaply, but above all of avoiding mistakes and recognizing in good time when markets are ready to let air out. After all, in addition to basic fundamental analysis, investing in stocks is above all a phenomenon of global liquidity and this must be monitored regularly.

Fertilizer Crisis: Supply Chain Collapse Threatens Bayer, Nestlé, MustGrow, and K+S! Where are the Opportunities for Investors?
The escalation involving Iran has thrown global supply chains and the fertilizer and food sectors into a state of emergency, as sanctions and security risks are crippling exports of key raw materials. Iran, a key producer of phosphate-based fertilizers and potash products, is temporarily out of the picture, leading to price spikes of up to 40% in the agricultural sector. Bayer is struggling with rising production costs for its agrochemicals division, which is putting extreme pressure on margins. Even Nestlé is increasingly facing raw material shortages for animal feed and packaging materials. The situation regarding supply security in Europe is at risk in the medium term, as inflationary pressure on food prices is noticeably increasing. MustGrow is positioning itself as a game-changer with organic fertilizer alternatives that are scalable regardless of geopolitical hotspots and promise rapid revenue growth. Kali + Salz is benefiting massively from the demand for potash fertilizer, as European inventories shrink and demand from agriculture explodes.

Iran Conflict, Energy Crisis, and Supply Chains in Focus: Power Metallic as a Lever for Strategic Metal Supply
Geopolitical tensions are once again moving to the forefront of financial markets. The looming kerosene and diesel shortages are a cause for concern for global industry. This is due to a multitude of geopolitical conflicts, which are having far-reaching effects on global economic structures. Iran, for instance, is still in a position to exert significant influence, and there is little sign of US dominance. This brings the abundant fossil fuel reserves of neighboring countries into focus—with the Strait of Hormuz at the center as a logistical hotspot. Toll systems for tankers and cargo ships to pass through the strait are being discussed. This disruption to international supply chains drives up costs for industry and end consumers. Taking this further, critical metals like copper are also coming back into the spotlight. As bulk goods, they must be transported across the seas to processing sites. The energy transition, storage technologies, and data centers demand massive amounts of copper. Power Metallic Mines is tapping into precisely this dynamic with its NISK project in Canada. A highly attractive investment opportunity is emerging.

Iran Crisis: Billions in Weapons and Technology – Are Rheinmetall, RENK, and Group Eleven Set to Soar?
Later today, the next—already postponed—ultimatum regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could begin to unfold with significant consequences. US President Donald Trump has made it unmistakably clear on his own social media platform that the West will no longer tolerate the restriction or threat to international trade routes. For investors, this underscores a critical reality: the supply of industrial goods is increasingly fragile and may require fundamental restructuring over the long term. Ongoing conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are forcing a rethink of global sourcing strategies for raw materials and industrial inputs. It is widely understood that building alternative supply chains will take years—if not decades. Europe, in particular, which is already under pressure, must address structural deficits across multiple sectors. For policymakers, the message is clear: decisive action is required. Meanwhile, Group Eleven Resources holds land rights covering more than 500 sq km with mineralization in critical metals—positioning it within this broader strategic shift.

Oil Price Shock as an Opportunity: 100% Potential with Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
Daily updates continue to emerge on efforts to rein in Iran. President Donald Trump claims to have already achieved all war objectives. Yet, the Iranians appear surprisingly self-confident for a nation portrayed as defeated, pushing back against the media narrative surrounding their willingness to negotiate. Meanwhile, the German government has introduced a new fuel pricing law. Since April 1, a package of measures aimed at curbing price increases has come into effect. In the future, price increases will only be permitted once per day at 12:00 noon, while price reductions remain possible at any time. The law was drafted based on common practice in Austria and is intended to provide greater transparency and stability. However, the initial effect was mixed: although the Brent spot price fell by 7% at midday and the euro weakened against the US dollar, fuel prices did not decline accordingly.

Interest rates, volatility, and uncertainty: Vonovia plummets, caution advised for TUI, and the green light for Desert Gold
The daily news now feels like a mix of a disaster movie, a stock market ticker, and a satirical show. A president is constantly making threatening gestures, a general has recently taken to tweeting, and a central banker doesn't know how to get inflation under control. Much appears out of balance—raising the question of whether consumers and investors are pulling back or simply adapting. Investors have been living for years in a constant state between alarm bells and champagne corks. Wars here, rising interest rates there, supply chains in gridlock, and suddenly gold shoots up again as if it had drunk one espresso too many. While the tourism sector sometimes crashes and sometimes takes off, it feels like a budget airline in crosswinds. Taking a clear, rational view in such an environment is challenging—but essential. We take a look at real estate, gold, and tourism.

Stock Markets on High Alert: Volatus Aerospace – Drones Are Becoming the Infrastructure of the Modern World
A new era has dawned—those who want to be part of it must act now! Drones are on the verge of becoming the universal technology of the 21st century. A tool that is equally at home in agriculture, industry, disaster response, and military operations. What began as a niche solution for aerial photography is now an indispensable component of modern infrastructure and security architectures. Especially in the military sector, unmanned systems have fundamentally changed the nature of warfare, as they enable reconnaissance, precision strikes, and the protection of critical facilities more efficiently and cost-effectively. At the same time, energy providers, emergency services, and logistics companies use the same technologies to reduce risks and streamline operations. This so-called dual-use capability makes drones a key strategic tool for governments and companies worldwide. Whoever controls the technology increasingly controls the speed, safety, and efficiency of modern societies. These are all topics that have been circulating through the trading floors of stock exchanges for several months. Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself as a notable contender in this space.

The Tungsten Mystery: Commodity prices are skyrocketing, and stock volatility is soaring - Almonty Industries now offers a 100% chance
No all-clear yet from the war fronts, which is making the stock markets volatile and vulnerable. Last Friday, the CNN Fear and Greed Index reached a record high of 10 out of 100 points. In other words, Investors haven't been this worried about the safety of their investments in a long time. This aligns perfectly with the saying: "Buy when the cannons roar!" A contradiction? No, because just yesterday the index jumped up to 13; in particular, the leading European index, the DAX 40, showed robust performance and gained over 2% from its morning low. A brief shift in sentiment or a turning point? Anyone buying Almonty now can get the stock a good 35% cheaper than four weeks ago. What do the analysts say?

NEO Battery Materials Charging Ahead – The New Performance Standard for the Energy of the Future
While the Iran conflict in the Middle East is unsettling the global economy, a much deeper shift in the balance of power is taking place on the global commodities market. The rivalry between the US and China, long marked by trade and technology wars, is now extending to energy supply and battery production. Beijing is restricting not only the export of rare earths but also the export of high-performance battery cells, forcing Western industries to reorganize their supply chains. The situation is particularly critical for batteries used in defense and drone technology, which are considered security-critical infrastructure. The general public's thinking is simple: with the constant rise in the cost of fossil fuels, the world faces a choice - accept expensive mobility or pursue self-sufficient development of renewable solutions! In this context, the Canadian-South Korean company NEO Battery Materials is making a strategic statement of technological independence.

Crisis as Catalyst: Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, UniCredit, RE Royalties, and PayPal in Focus
War, destruction, and infrastructure reconstruction—the financial sector is in the spotlight. Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, the rising demand for credit is causing lenders' margins to surge! This is because banks, infrastructure financiers, and specialized investment firms benefit directly from the growing demand for capital coming from many directions. The energy transition is one of the largest investment areas. In Europe alone, investments in the hundreds of billions will be needed in the coming years to modernize power grids, build storage facilities, and connect completed energy plants to the grid. Financial institutions are not only earning from loans and project financing, but increasingly also from fees, equity stakes, and long-term cash flows from energy assets. At the same time, interest margins are rising in an environment of higher financing costs, which improves the profitability of many financial institutions. Despite all the crises and difficult investment conditions, it is worth taking a look at the credit sector.

Iran Conflict Boosting Margins: BASF, Lahontan Gold, E.ON, and Lanxess in focus
Brent crude at USD 100 – this is a game-changer! The recent attack on Qatar's key LNG facility has taken 17% of annual production off the market, and the global LNG market faces a multi-year structural deficit. A doubling of gas prices around the globe in just 12 hours also sent oil prices soaring. Worse still: The Strait of Hormuz is currently blocked, and neither oil nor gas tankers can even begin their voyages at sea. For the winding-down winter season in Europe, the problem is not overwhelming, but filling gas storage facilities over the summer is likely to prove difficult. In this environment, gold has been benefiting again since mid-week, up 5% to USD 4,550; at the crisis low, the price had even dipped to USD 4,150. How are select gold companies and major gas consumers like BASF and Lanxess faring right now? What about E.ON? Here are a few thoughts.
