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.

AI, E-Mobility and Robotics: 150% Upside? Mercedes-Benz, BYD, XPeng and Strategic Resources in Focus
The profound convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and e-mobility is completely redefining today's industrial landscape. This technological revolution is being led by visionary companies that are deliberately upending conventional industry norms. For example, the Chinese pioneer XPeng is strategically transforming its business model toward "Physical AI" to enable vehicles to merge with humanoid robots in perfect symbiosis in the future. At the same time, global industry leader BYD is pushing into the European market with an unprecedented scaling offensive, while established luxury manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz are building an emotional bridge between high-performance software and legendary driving culture. Yet amid this rapid race for technological supremacy, one fundamental truth is often overlooked: without securing the underlying raw material supply chains, the entire high-tech machinery comes to a standstill. This is where the raw materials specialist Strategic Resources Inc. positions itself: with its Canadian BlackRock project, the company already has a key approved mine. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.

The Focus Is on Nutrition, Not Microchips: What Is on the Menu at McDonald's, Bayer, MustGrow and Kraft Heinz?
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
The stock market is many things, but it is hardly sustainable. Trends change as quickly as the weather—chips are all the rage today, but tomorrow they are out of favor. Funnily enough, the lines of reasoning are similar whether the market is rising or falling. However, sustainability is of paramount importance in the food production sector and among publicly traded companies in it. This is because a consistent ESG focus in global food production has evolved from a mere image factor to an established guarantee of success. A recent study by the McKinsey Global Institute impressively demonstrates that companies with strong ESG structures have more resilient supply chains in the long term and enjoy significantly higher consumer loyalty. Giants like McDonald's and Kraft Heinz are driving this transformation by increasingly focusing on recyclable packaging, nature-based farming, and ethical sourcing of raw materials. However, this green transition would be virtually inconceivable without innovative suppliers and trailblazers at the base of the value chain. This is where the agricultural giant Bayer comes into play, laying the foundation for lower-emission crops through targeted investments in biological crop protection and regenerative agriculture. As an agile driver of innovation, the Canadian company MustGrow Biologics is tapping into this trend and revolutionizing the market with all-natural active ingredients derived from the mustard plant. It is worth taking a closer look at what really matters!

Warning: Central Banks, Debt and Gold to the Rescue! Why Smart Investors Are Buying Barrick, Newmont and Lahontan Gold
Inflation above 3% and the world is coming apart at the seams! Central banks, in particular, find themselves in a bind, as they cannot lower interest rates indefinitely to combat inflation without jeopardizing the global financial system. At the same time, government debt in many industrialized nations is reaching historic highs, which massively undermines confidence in unbacked fiat currencies in the long term. Against this fragile economic backdrop, gold is once again taking center stage as the ultimate safe haven and proven hedge against the loss of purchasing power. Savvy investors are recognizing the signs of the times and strategically shifting capital into the precious metals sector to protect their wealth. Major producers such as Barrick Mining and Newmont, with their efficient cost structures and strong operational foundations, provide a solid basis for an investment portfolio and pay generous dividends. For risk-conscious investors seeking above-average growth potential, smaller exploration companies such as Lahontan Gold offer an intriguing complement. Let's run the numbers.

AI & Defense Boom: Time to Pick the Winners — SpaceX, Rheinmetall, Thales and Globex Mining
Higher, Faster, Further! The hype surrounding artificial intelligence and modern defense technologies shows no signs of abating. As global tensions rise, investors are searching for the most profitable gems in this expanding sector. Yet experts have long been saying "the market has gotten overheated"—but, on the whole, they are usually wrong. That is why a targeted selection of individual stocks is now more important than ever. The trend in global interest rates remains a decisive factor for the coming months. In addition, the high valuations on the Nasdaq are prompting many investors to exercise caution. In this dynamic environment, the private spaceflight company SpaceX offers fascinating growth opportunities, but its valuation seems more appropriate for the year 2035. At the same time, the defense contractors Thales and Rheinmetall are benefiting from massive government contracts and full order books. Investors looking to diversify their portfolios wisely should also consider Globex Mining. After all, critical raw materials are the foundation of any modern high-tech infrastructure. Through a strategic combination of tech, defense, and resources, investors can effectively minimize risks and maximize opportunities. Savvy investors are therefore keeping a close eye on both macroeconomic data and the geopolitical situation — and remain ready to act!

250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus
When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.
