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.

Gold above USD 4,000, Bitcoin and NASDAQ reeling! Formation Metals on the rise, panic at Metaplanet and DroneShield
A few weeks ago, the US government declared a state of emergency over critical metals. This triggered a massive run on all stocks related to strategic metals such as rare earths, uranium, and lithium. The announcement also proved decisive for the gold and silver markets, which have been setting new all-time highs since October before recently entering a consolidation phase. At the start of the week, buying interest in gold and silver returned, while former tech high-flyers like Metaplanet and DroneShield suffered heavy losses. For investors, the current panic across parts of the tech sector could present an opportunity. Commodity markets have been dormant for years and are now being flooded with unprecedented amounts of capital. Where should investors position themselves now?

Nvidia figures ahead, AI correction looming? Doubling alternatives include Planethic Group, Bayer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk
It does not always have to be Nvidia! If the current level of risk on the NASDAQ feels a bit too high, investors should take a look at some European gems. There may be less AI involved here, but people still work for people. This is particularly interesting as Elon Musk aims to equip the core zone of human interaction with humanoid robots, from cooking together in the kitchen to family life, which could receive "digital offspring" as early as 2027. Because the planet will soon face food and water shortages due to permanent overheating, we are taking a closer look at completely analog topics such as alternative nutrition and the prevention of obesity. This is certainly too boring for the disciples of the digital apocalypse, but it offers plenty of charm for non-digital investors.

100% even before Black Week! Artificial Intelligence is now live! Palantir delivers, UMT goes full throttle, TeamViewer and D-Wave crash!
What a daily rollercoaster ride! In the past two trading weeks, the NASDAQ dropped several percent on multiple days, followed by equally sharp recoveries. Some would call it directionless, while others see the increased volatility as a precursor to falling prices. Yet, far removed from price developments, operational AI models are performing at peak levels, enabling companies to make the next quantum leap in the administration, organization, and management of recurring activities. The stock market has quickly identified its favorite candidates and sent their prices soaring, but there are followers that are already well established in practice yet remain largely unnoticed. UMT United Mobility Technology is one such gem. We take a closer look.

The new cold war over strategic metals! The buying frenzy continues at Almonty, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK
Investors today need a long-term perspective if they want to step outside the trading herd. For the past five years, machines have largely been calling the shots. They detect patterns across investor behavior and can anticipate mass movements even while you are still busy entering your order. This is because data aggregation takes place in nanoseconds. If, for example, a few more sell orders than usual enter the market, the machine immediately sends the Xetra price down, and vice versa. Those who invest over months and years do not need to worry about these practices, but anyone focused on short-term movements requires solid technical equipment and nerves of steel. Our peer group stocks Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK are currently seeing plenty of action. We provide a few extras so you can make the right move!

Record stock market! And the momentum continues with Palantir, D-Wave, Gerresheimer, and NetraMark
Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing drug development by analyzing vast amounts of data in record time and controlling clinical trials more precisely. Advanced systems identify promising drug candidates and predict therapeutic success with impressive accuracy. Companies such as NetraMark are already successfully using these technologies to accelerate development processes. At the same time, the well-known AI stars Palantir and D-Wave are driving the next wave of innovation as pacemakers in data analysis and quantum computing, recording extraordinary share price gains. The German Gerresheimer Group is also increasingly integrating AI-supported solutions into the manufacture of pharmaceutical packaging and medical technology. For investors, this represents a pool of opportunities, but the choice remains difficult!

More than 100%? Big Moves in gold and high-tech! Aixtron, Kobo Resources, Lanxess, and DroneShield
The next gold move is just around the corner. After the sharp rises in the third quarter, gold enthusiasts worldwide were already excited, and the USD 5,000 mark seemed a certainty. But things turned out differently: Unsurprisingly, the metal consolidated downward by a full USD 500 over the past three weeks. However, just below USD 3,800, the decline halted, and yesterday it was already climbing back to USD 4,100. The commodity market is still being driven by major uncertainty around the US shutdown and possible upcoming quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Fed. With the US debt ceiling again completely out of control at USD 38.5 trillion, a tangible solution is nowhere in sight. The sharp reduction in the current account deficit has brought little benefit to the US dollar, meaning that precious metals remain highly attractive against the backdrop of rising money supply and interest rates. Where should investors pay attention?

Time for savvy buyers! Should you get in now with thyssenkrupp, Plug Power, Nel ASA, Pure Hydrogen, or nucera?
Such volatility is rare on the stock markets. After months of upward movement, the potential for a correction has also been tested in recent days. Investors now need strong nerves and a clear focus on fundamentals - overvalued stocks can lose ground within a matter of days, even if the price build-up took months. Smart investors use so-called trailing stops, which automatically adjust upwards as valuations rise. In the best case, the automated exit is then triggered from above once the previously defined percentage loss threshold is reached. In the hydrogen sector, prices have moved erratically. Where should investors take action now?

Finding true value in the stock market! DroneShield, Palantir, and Globex Mining in Focus
Irrationality has become the new norm on the capital markets. While global economic growth has been stuttering for years, tech stocks on the NASDAQ are celebrating daily. Cautious voices are often ridiculed because, according to statistics, they are only proven right every 5 to 7 years. The penultimate sharp correction occurred 7 years ago in the fall of 2018, followed by two more, in 2020 and 2022, triggered by the pandemic and war. Since then, markets have been climbing almost relentlessly. The highly regarded DAX and NASDAQ indices have more than doubled since those corrections. Meanwhile, the Shiller P/E ratio has risen from 18 to 37 – incidentally, it peaked at 40 two weeks ago. Since then, volatility indicators have been reluctant to fall. The nervousness is palpable! We are using this most challenging of investment periods to reflect on what true value really means.

Mental mobilization! The EU places orders with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Antimony Resources, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
With Russia stepping up attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, parliamentarians in Brussels are realizing that only swift and decisive action can help close Europe's major security gaps. This means trillions in investments in defense technology and intensified Europe-wide cooperation. There is no room for hesitation or tactical maneuvering; funds must be saved elsewhere in order to protect the continent from potential aggression from the East. Time is short because by 2027, Europe aims to have a credible level of defense readiness. Investors can participate in this trend through carefully selected defense stocks. We cannot make the choice for you — but we do have a few ideas.

Takeover fever! BYD is amazed, Graphano celebrates, and Lyft buys FreeNow from Mercedes and BMW!
If the electric vehicle market wants to overtake combustion engines, further advances in battery technology are still needed. Consumers need to be convinced, which means that economic realities should be at the forefront of their purchasing decisions. Major innovations require high-performance materials, including graphite, which is a key component of modern lithium-ion batteries. Graphite contributes to a greater range, higher energy density, and improved safety. At the same time, innovative approaches to silicon anodes and novel cathode materials are ensuring more efficient and cost-effective production processes. With the steady expansion of charging infrastructure, range anxiety among consumers is diminishing, further boosting the adoption of e-mobility. This highly dynamic innovation environment thus opens up attractive prospects for both technology developers and investors, as the industry is changing rapidly.
