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.

Watch out! VW and BMW are turning, Benton Resources is stepping on the gas, while Nordex and Siemens Energy are on the sidelines
For the German economy, a 180-degree shift in economic policy is needed to stop the ongoing migration of industries abroad. However, this requires signs of a consistent refocusing on burning issues, which neither the parties with a claim to the government nor the opposition can really present. International investors have refocused on European markets at the beginning of the year, as reforms are expected. The premature praise for Donald Trump has generated new highs in the US, but now the NASDAQ seems to be running out of steam. Germany, as the laggard in terms of economic growth, offers very low valuations that have rarely been seen for longer periods. We highlight some opportunities.

DeepSeek hits right in the eye! Selective correction on the way! Watch out for Nel, Siemens Energy, First Hydrogen, and SMCI
The Chinese language model DeepSeek is stirring up the AI market. The entire tech sector is reacting nervously and showing significant price losses. Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving indispensable in many areas. Large language models like ChatGPT are already helping to solve complex tasks, and their further development promises enormous advances for the economy and society. The new Chinese language model is seen as a serious challenge to US dominance in AI and threatens the dominance of the hyped US companies. The AI assistant introduced on January 10th recently overtook rival ChatGPT as the top-rated free software application in Apple's App Store in the US. A shot across the bow for Nvidia and associated companies. Some green energy stocks are also coming into focus. Is it time to jump on board now?

Biotech - Here we go! 100% opportunities for Evotec, BioNxt, Bayer, Formycon, and Novo Nordisk!
Last week, the DAX 40 index reached a new all-time high of 21,520 points. At first glance, this sounds odd because half of the stocks are languishing at multi-year lows. However, the driving forces are the heavyweights SAP, Siemens, Allianz, Airbus, and Deutsche Telekom. They are pushing the index upward daily, putting ETF fund managers under pressure as they have to adjust the weightings accordingly. However, the more capital flows into the leading stocks, the more investors are looking for lagging stocks that could successfully turn the chart around due to operational turning points. We select a few opportunity stocks.

Top performers wanted! Nel ASA, First Nordic Metals, thyssenkrupp and Agnico-Eagle
With rising inflation since 2021, the price of gold has also risen significantly. Over the last 20 years, resourceful investors have always been able to compensate for the loss of purchasing power with an average return of a good 8.5% per year. The crux of the matter is that one could not trade the ups and downs in precious metals because only long-term holders can look back on gold prices around USD 500 in 2005. Today, 20 years later, new highs of USD 2,788 have already been reached. Agnico-Eagle is one of the most successful mines in the world, with its shares almost doubling in the last 12 months. Things have been going equally well for Agnico's partner, the explorer First Nordic Metals. A closer analysis reveals even more ideas for boosting your portfolio.

Artificial intelligence and crypto mania – the 500% duo! Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, Credissential, Palantir and D-Wave
Since the tech bubble of 2000, no other year of investment has seen such huge gains for just a few sectors as 2024. And it looks like 2025 will be no different! Bitcoin, high-tech, artificial intelligence and armaments were and are the blockbuster topics for making quick money. MicroStrategy, D-Wave, Palantir, and Nvidia are the current protagonists of this incredible spectacle. Now these stocks have priced in a golden future, in some cases with P/E ratios of over 100. What comes next? Even experts are at a loss - nobody expects a correction here as all the shorts of recent weeks have turned into painful experiences. The keywords are "momentum & liquidity" – is fundamental analysis useless?

Trump is back! NATO rearmament with Rheinmetall, Renk, Hensoldt and Nova Pacific Metals
After a grand inauguration night, the 47th US President Donald Trump is diving straight into government business. The first decrees include an exit from the WHO and the Paris Climate Agreement. At the same time, he repeated his demand that NATO countries drastically increase their investment budgets if they expect to continue to be protected by the US. What this could mean for the planet is alarming. For the stock market, this means getting out of Greentech stocks and into high-tech and defense for the time being. Strategic metals are also coming back into focus because nothing will move forward without them. Where can investors still make a return now?

The stock market boom continues – Power Nickel, BYD, Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy are soaring, and thyssenkrupp is turning a corner!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. Chart analysts see the DAX reaching 21,500 points as early as January! Yesterday, the stock markets in the US were closed for Martin Luther King Day, but Donald Trump was sworn in again as the 47th President. Storm clouds are currently a rarity, and corrections have been limited to just a few hours. Investors have to keep pace with this speed to achieve returns. Stagnation or even setbacks are seen only in Germany's GDP, which has declined for the second consecutive year. However, this is no obstacle for higher stock market valuations. Here is a selection of stocks that continue to cause a stir!

150% stocks in focus! D-Wave, Saturn Oil + Gas, Plug Power, Nel and Rivian
Higher – faster – further! Today at 6:00 p.m., Donald Trump will be sworn in for his second term. The stock markets have been booming for months since Trump's re-election, seemingly pricing in a major shift in American politics that is expected to primarily benefit companies and wealthy individuals. Growth stocks on the NASDAQ are soaring from high to high, although the inflation figures do not suggest lower interest rates in the short term. The Shiller P/E ratio has climbed to around 37, a level not seen since the tech bubble of 2000. Selection is becoming increasingly challenging. Here are a few 150% ideas for risk-conscious investors.

The energy year 2025! Uranium stocks such as Oklo, NuScale and F3 Uranium are in high demand, as are Nel ASA and Plug Power
In 2007, a pound of uranium occasionally cost more than USD 140 per pound before a long decline in prices began. With the outbreak of the Fukushima disaster in 2011, the mood against nuclear power reached its peak and forced the uranium price even below USD 50. Since the "NetZero" wave, however, it has been rising unchecked because, according to the World Energy Agency, nuclear power is now once again being classified as environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuels. Currently, 439 reactors are operational worldwide, with 64 under construction and 88 planned. Uranium demand is, therefore, set to rise by a good 30%, which is not a good sign for the hydrogen industry because this is where government investment is urgently needed. F3 Uranium has extensive concessions in the world's largest uranium mining district: the Athabasca Basin. The industry is preparing for the coming supply shortage with acquisitions and purchases. Good returns are on offer for risk-conscious investors.

THE VOLATILITY TRAP: Sell-off in Bitcoin, gold on the rise! Desert Gold, MicroStrategy, Lufthansa, and Nel ASA
After a record year for equities in 2024, the new year is entering a challenging phase. Hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak, with inflation remaining too high. The mega rally in Bitcoin also needs to be deflated soon. This hits BTC collector MicroStrategy quite hard. Nel ASA, which had started the year on a hopeful note, now has to announce a production stoppage! Lufthansa, meanwhile, is working on acquiring the state-owned Italian airline ITA. Volatility is rising dangerously, signaling that a correction is due. These developments are positive for the safe haven of gold. The key now is consistent action!
