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.

Crash or rebound? Tracking the data with Palantir, SAP, MiMedia, and Deutsche Telekom

Is the big correction already over? Given historically high liquidity, investors are wondering whether last week's slump marked the end of the road. Stocks such as Nvidia, Apple and SAP have now corrected more than 25% from their highs, something that has rarely been seen in the last 24 months. The NASDAQ is tentatively working its way back up, but the DAX 40 index is gaining momentum. It is now only 1,500 points away from its previous high of 23,476 points. A good strategy could, therefore, be to selectively re-enter the market. However, set clear loss limits for each investment. Here are a few promising suggestions.

Trump backs down! Investors rejoice with BYD, Power Metallic, Nio, and Deutz

The markets are in turmoil. "Fast market," shouts a trader as prices fluctuate by the second. With news coming in at such a rapid pace, investors' nerves are on edge. But for level-headed investors, there are now bargains to be had that were missing just months ago. However, the selection is not easy because international customs policy also plays a role alongside company balance sheets. If punitive tariffs of over 100% are not withdrawn, the automotive sector could even face a total market collapse. Consumers at the end of the chain will not want to and cannot pay the artificially inflated prices. The economy would inevitably collapse. We are looking at stable business models with medium-term opportunities.

No Trump frustration with 123fahrschule and Mutares, but caution is advised with defense stocks such as RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr!

The daily news is driving stock market activity. After a rollercoaster ride caused by Trump, popular tech stocks such as the Magnificent 7 are now down a good 20%. In the case of Nvidia, the stock is now USD 50 below its peak. For many, this is an opportunity to finally take a breather and think about the rest of the stock market year. Small caps such as the successful 123fahrschule continue to work on their growth programs, and Mutares is making good progress with its investments. The hot defense stocks RENK and Hensoldt appear somewhat overpriced. Those who want to generate returns now must be very selective and invest in specialties. After gains of just under 10% per annum, global ETF savers will likely take a break from returns in 2025. In the meantime, flexible investors will come out on top. Here are a few ideas.

This is the post-Easter opportunity! Evotec, Bayer, BioNTech, and Defence Therapeutics in focus

  • Biotechnology
  • Biotech

Donald Trump snubs his international partners, insults prominent Americans, and withdraws long-standing funding commitments to Harvard. Who would have thought? The new US administration is turning out to be an unpredictable fragmentation bomb that could hit anyone. Economic policy resembles a game of hot and cold when stability is needed. On the stock market, investors are trying to price in old tariffs, no tariffs, and new tariffs - every day brings a fresh bouquet of announced measures. There has hardly been a similarly volatile period in recent years, but Donald Trump is not interested in stock market prices. For the overvalued high-tech sector, this is a welcome opportunity to take profits. The biotech sector could finally take off were it not for the sharp rise in interest rates. The only thing that can help now is a case-by-case assessment of investment opportunities.

Gold in focus, Defense accelerates again – Agnico Eagle, Golden Cariboo, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus

The daily theatrics are hard to beat. US President Donald Trump is engaging in slapstick and snubbing long-standing trading partners. In his own country, he leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to counterbalance the nearly USD 36 trillion national debt through savings and additional revenues. This creates great uncertainty in the stock markets and causes economic institutes to calculate more precisely whether, instead of growth, a recession may be looming. But perhaps it is all just a test to force political partners to the table. However, the threat of inflation means that precious metals remain in focus. Unresolved geopolitical conflicts also continue to drive defense machinery forward. Here, a volume in the triple-digit billion range is expected, which will result in revenue in the coming years. The train is running at full steam!

Tariff madness drives gold! Caution advised with Barrick, Globex Mining, Mutares, and Steyr

Every day brings a new spectacle from the White House. What resembles a farce is, unfortunately, a harsh reality. The new president, Donald Trump, leaves no doubt about who dictates the conditions in global trade. But even Mr. Universe has to row back now and then because experts have a clever piece of advice or two on how to avoid completely running the US into the ground. After all, the proclaimed tariffs threaten a severe cooling of the global economy and a surge in inflation - a perfect opportunity for precious metal investments. Due to the general uncertainty, defense stocks also remain in focus. We do the math.

Growth despite tariffs: It is all about using artificial intelligence! Novo Nordisk, NetraMark Holdings, Infineon, and Intel

The tariff policy of the Trump administration is casting a long shadow over the global economy, with ifo Institute President Clemens Fuest warning it could even trigger a new global recession. Only a handful of companies can currently afford to relax - those that manufacture entirely within the US and serve mainly domestic markets. However, the economy is highly interconnected, the recently favored globalization has ensured that. The wheel is currently turning backwards, and "local sourcing" is the new buzzword. History has shown that protectionism rarely leads to positive outcomes. It is important for investors to look closely at which policymakers truly have an understanding of economic issues without ideological distortions. Identifying these trends can lead to discovering high-potential stocks. The search is not easy, but we are here to provide support wherever possible.

Humanity continues to fight relentlessly against cancer. As one of the most common causes of death, researchers have been trying to unravel the secrets of this terrible disease for more than 175 years. Meanwhile, early detection and forms of therapy have come a long way, and many patients diagnosed with cancer often go on to live for many years after their diagnosis. However, it is still too early for triumph; progress is incremental and costs time and money. The dream of biotech investors is to find the needle in the haystack. Which publicly listed company will achieve the long-awaited breakthrough? Vidac Pharma has so far achieved recognized milestones and continues its research in a targeted manner. According to a recent study on the Company, investors could see a tenfold increase over the next few years. This is reason enough for us to take a closer look!

Tariffs, rare earths, Greenland, and Trump! BYD, European Lithium, VW, and thyssenkrupp in focus

  • Lithium
  • Electromobility
  • RareEarths

The cat is out of the bag! Donald Trump is imposing tariffs of 20 to 34%, thus snubbing his transatlantic trade partners. What has worked well for years is now being put to the test. It did not take long for reactions to the extensive tariff plans to materialize. The state and party leadership in Beijing responded to Trump's ultimatum by announcing counter-tariffs of 34 to 84%. This means that the escalation spiral in the trade dispute between the USA and China continues. The EU had already imposed some additional tariffs in March and is now waiting to see whether the US administration will change its mind. Meanwhile, the focus is once again on rare earths, as China is now imposing export restrictions on this precious commodity. Trump's imperialism is also targeting Greenland again. This is an interesting situation for investors.

The tariff crash à la Trump is on! dynaCERT is causing a stir at the world's largest construction machinery trade fair

  • climatechange

Traffic in Munich is currently at a standstill for a week. With the start of the largest trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles, and construction equipment, "bauma" in Munich is taking a future-oriented look at innovations across many sectors of the economy. With over 600,000 square meters of exhibition space and more than 3,500 exhibitors, it offers a platform for cross-border exchange. More than 500,000 visitors are expected. Even though the stock markets are currently correcting, climate change issues remain high on the agenda. Companies that can deliver productive approaches in this area remain the focus of sustainably-minded investors. The Canadian innovator dynaCERT (WKN: A1KBAV | ISIN: CA26780A1084 | TSE: DYA) can deliver significant savings in energy consumption with its combustion optimization via hydrogen and provides its customers with access to the coveted CO2 certificates. The international rollout is already in full swing. Trump's tariff madness and the current stock market correction offer a sustainable opportunity for investors.
