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.

Commodities in Overdrive: BHP and Rio Tinto Cash In While Almonty Targets Critical Metals in Greenland
What investors are witnessing in the markets now amounts to an almost tectonic shift. Energy and commodity prices are surging, while interest rates have climbed to levels not seen in seven years. The East is embracing protectionism, while the US-led West is taking an increasingly assertive stance. In this capitalist imperialism of deep pockets, the US president's territorial claims over Greenland, administered by Denmark, have added another layer of geopolitical tension. These trends extend beyond the traditional mining business and are causing significant turmoil in futures markets. The geopolitical fault line runs right through the Arctic, where Greenland, thanks to gigantic deposits such as the Tanbreez project, is in the crosshairs of the Pentagon and Western security agencies. China continues to control large parts of the global supply chain, but the strategic agreement between Washington and Copenhagen is erecting a powerful barrier. At the same time, tungsten prices on the world market are soaring, outpacing almost all other critical minerals. This indispensable industrial metal, essential for the defense industry and the AI chip sector, is subject to drastic export restrictions. These supply bottlenecks are driving Western buyers to the brink of despair. A wild mix of megalomania, panic, and sabre-rattling. Where do the opportunities lie for investors with strong nerves?

Defence Boom Meets Critical Metals: Rheinmetall, Renk, Globex Mining and Hensoldt in Focus
The geopolitical turning point is bringing two sectors to the forefront: defence and critical metals. One cannot exist without the other! Consequently, this fateful alliance has triggered an unprecedented supercycle in the financial markets that extends far beyond the traditional high-tech and defence conglomerates. European defence heavyweights such as Rheinmetall, Renk, and sensor specialist Hensoldt are enjoying historic order backlogs and benefiting from government rearmament programs worth billions. This is now bringing the fundamental basis of this boom sharply into focus for investors. After all, producing defence systems of all kinds depends entirely on a secure supply of strategic and critical metals. However, massive demand for military hardware is clashing with global supply chains under extreme strain from raw material shortages and the accelerating subsidy race in the West. This is where exploration and licensing companies like Globex Mining come into their own—they possess a diversified portfolio of strategic properties in politically stable regions and secure the foundations of industrial independence. Since no modern air defence system or military microchip network can exist without copper, silver, nickel, or rare earth elements, the mining and defence technology sectors are inextricably linked on the stock market. For forward-thinking investors, this symbiosis offers rare leverage.

Heading South or Heading Higher? TUI and Lufthansa in a Fuel Crisis, RE Royalties and HelloFresh Under Scrutiny
Extremely high volatility — and almost every day. Iran threatens escalation, pushing oil prices higher, while Donald Trump publicly dreams of a quick peace deal, which could, in turn, push oil prices lower. Yesterday, however, Brent crude was trading at nearly USD 107 per barrel. Billions of dollars are being made in this back-and-forth by trading desks that operate largely outside the public eye, while questionable market activity is, of course, scrutinized mainly when it involves the average retail investor. The stock market has become a mirror reflecting just how much the world has changed. Autocratic rulers dictate the direction of attention and increasingly shape how societies interact. In the past, wars were waged over religious differences and territorial claims; today, economic interests clearly dominate, with everything else often serving as a pretext. After all, only countries close to the oil reserves have a direct interest in keeping oil prices high. Interestingly, over the past four years, the United States has risen to become the world's largest oil producer, ahead of Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. Several stocks have significant exposure to these developments, particularly in the aviation and travel sectors. As always, the issue comes down to steadily rising costs. For speculative investors, some of the key players are worth a closer look.

No Chips, No AI – But Without Power, Nothing Runs! Big Opportunities Await in AMD, Nvidia, HPQ Silicon and Infineon
Is the AI boom starting to overheat? The fact is, the entire tech sector is heading straight for a critical bottleneck. While the developers of the world's fastest graphics processors and accelerator hardware are driving computing power to astronomical heights, the industry's foundation is beginning to falter. At the end of the day, every neural network and every sophisticated language model is only as good as the infrastructure that keeps it alive. The next phase of technological evolution will therefore no longer be decided solely in the design studios of Silicon Valley, but at the level of efficient power supply and revolutionary materials. This is where specialized semiconductor giants and innovative pioneers in cutting-edge anode materials come into play. They provide the key technologies needed to manage the exploding energy demands of modern data centres and mobile systems. The market winner will be determined by who produces the most efficient power semiconductors and next-generation battery cells. For investors, this means betting on the right suppliers for the energy transition now will secure the most profitable positions for the tech future. We do the math!

AI and Crypto Stock Movers with Rare Value: Strategy, Metaplanet, Circle Internet and Strategic Resources in Focus
Power shortages, critical metals and the next technological hurdles - we are currently heading toward a fragile environment marked by high inflation, geopolitical pressure, and rising interest rates. Central banks can hardly stray from their primary mandate of monetary stability, while alternative currencies and payment systems are casting doubt on the fiat world. The sectors mentioned are closely intertwined, as complex AI systems require vast amounts of tamper-proof, transparent data for training and reliable operation. Blockchain technology provides the ideal infrastructure by storing data in a decentralized way, cryptographically securing the origin of information, and effectively preventing manipulation. In addition, the decentralized network enables the sharing of enormous computing capacity, breaking the monopoly of large data centres and democratizing AI development. A solid infrastructure is essential for all the necessary components to work together seamlessly. At the starting point of the production chain, this primarily includes critical metals. Investors must therefore think multidimensionally to give their portfolios both growth potential and security.

Will Gold Save Us From the AI Craze? NASDAQ Stocks Reeling: D-Wave, SpaceX, Nvidia and Lahontan Gold in Focus
The current AI hype is propelling tech giants to dizzying heights, but behind the glittering facade of algorithms, doubts are growing about their fundamental valuations. When industry leader Nvidia starts to falter, it reflects the nervous turmoil of a market that vacillates between astronomical visions of the future and real-world profits. Even quantum computing pioneers like D-Wave Systems are grappling with the harsh reality that visionary technology does not automatically guarantee immediate profits in the billions. Meanwhile, the space company SpaceX demonstrates just how heavily private capital is tied up in high-risk, promising large-scale projects that are extremely vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks. Amid this digital gold rush, driven by immense energy consumption and impatient shareholders, the NASDAQ tech bubble is in danger of bursting. Interest rates, which have been surging for weeks, could trigger a significant correction. No wonder, then, that more and more investors are turning away from intangible code and turning to humanity's oldest safety net: GOLD. Those who do not want to be swept away by the AI frenzy are fleeing to where substance is still tangible.

Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof
Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.

E-Mobility in the Grip of Energy Prices! Things Are Heating Up for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BYD and Phenom Resources
Filling up currently feels like a painful visit to the dentist — but without much hope of a cure! Yet despite all the gloom, there are also winners. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, European e-mobility has entered a dynamic yet fiercely competitive phase in recent months. The historic price shock at the pump is prompting consumers to rethink their spending while driving a boom in new battery electric vehicle registrations. In Europe, electric vehicles now appear on the horizon as a subsidized solution, while gasoline and diesel prices march from one all-time high to the next. However, the charts so beloved by stock market traders are difficult to apply to gas station products. As the operating costs of internal combustion engines soar, electric vehicles are rapidly gaining appeal as an alternative. This is particularly good news for Chinese automakers, who are pushing into Europe with an aggressive market strategy and challenging the established, traditional brands. Even the import tariffs imposed by Brussels on pure-electric vehicles can barely slow the advance from the Far East. The local automotive industry is thus under unprecedented pressure to transform and compete. Where exactly should investors be looking?

Gas Prices Above EUR 2.50? Nel ASA, Bayer, MustGrow and K+S in the Spotlight
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
The ongoing debate over rising energy costs and the transition toward a greener economy is increasingly reaching gas stations and supermarket shelves. If gasoline prices remain sustainably above EUR 2.50, agricultural producers in particular will come under enormous pressure. Food production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, as tractors and harvesters are traditionally powered by agricultural diesel. Higher fuel prices therefore directly increase the cost of producing and transporting our daily food. At the same time, the agricultural sector faces the enormous challenge of reducing its reliance on conventional chemicals and fertilizers and finding more sustainable alternatives. This transformation requires innovative approaches at the intersection of the energy and agricultural sectors. Companies such as Nel ASA are therefore moving into focus, as green hydrogen can play a key role in decarbonizing the agricultural sector and producing cleaner fuels. Specialists such as MustGrow Biologics are also gaining importance by developing biological crop protection products designed to replace chemical alternatives. The traditional fertilizer giant K+S is likewise a key player in the rapidly evolving sector of sustainable food. Where are the opportunities for investors?
