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.

Gas shortages and the USD 150 bet on oil! Caution advised for Shell, BP, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
The daily news offers little reassurance for investors. Burning refineries, damaged oil tankers, and air battles over the planet's most oil-rich region mean extreme tension and volatility for the international capital markets. Despite all the horror, the financial carousel continues to turn. Institutional and private investors worldwide are sitting on USD 250 trillion in assets seeking investment opportunities. This keeps capital flows alive and encourages millions of people to keep an eye on the flashing prices. Energy companies are currently moving to the top of the list of interests, while some previously favored high-tech and AI stocks are currently consolidating. In this environment, it is worth looking not only at multinationals such as Shell or BP, but also at specialty stocks such as A.H.T. Syngas or Plug Power. They address the challenges of the times and must demonstrate how they can deliver operational performance in this environment. We take a closer look at the numbers.

The focus is now on critical infrastructure – Power Metallic Mines delivers dream results, SAP and Oracle test the rebound
Every day, a flood of news hits the capital markets. The focus is on international crises, which in turn have major implications for national economies. Areas with large fossil fuel reserves are coming to the fore, and for months now, scenarios of critical metal shortages have been discussed and reassessed accordingly. High-tech and AI stocks thrive on a steady influx of computing power and are dependent on the promised expansion of the electrical infrastructure. This requires a variety of raw materials from the metal sector. Power Metallic Mines has positioned itself perfectly in the current situation with its NISK project, while Oracle and SAP are driven by their cloud and data models, which are falling out of favor due to AI. It remains to be seen whether a revival in earnings can take place in line with analysts' estimates. It is not easy to convince people, so we are analyzing the accompanying circumstances.

Drone revolution and defense boom: Why Volatus Aerospace is emerging as a new aerospace player
The daily news reports currently begin with war coverage. This is not a desirable situation, but it is a bitter reality. Nowadays, much reconnaissance and destructive power is achieved "unmanned." This is demonstrated by the dramatic increase in autonomous air operations in conflict regions and illustrates the strategic relevance of modern drone technologies. Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself in this environment as an integrated platform provider: from manned flight and unmanned drone systems to AI-supported analysis and security services. The growing demand for highly scalable solutions in Europe, North America, and NATO partner countries is driving structural, double-digit growth in the defense and security market. Analysts see enormous potential for companies with platform expertise such as Volatus. Investors are taking notice, as the valuation remains reasonable and major developments are in the pipeline!

Sector rotation favors biotech and life sciences! BASF, MustGrow, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech in focus
Surprises are currently widespread. Former Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir will now lead the state parliament in Baden-Württemberg. The Green Party won over 30% of the vote in a landslide victory, putting issues such as environmental protection, social affairs, and, from Mr. Özdemir's time as minister, the agricultural industry back in the spotlight. With a human-centered approach and a focus on healthy nutrition, this means that established agricultural companies are increasingly being forced to reconcile productivity with sustainability. In this environment, MustGrow Biologics is positioning itself as a strategic technology provider whose achievements have already been validated by leading market players. An expanded sector view also includes the life sciences industry with the protagonists BASF, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech - an exciting mix.

Iran, Israel, USA – Investors turn to gold! Buying opportunities for Desert Gold, Barrick Mining, TUI, and Lufthansa
The daily news is not easy to stomach. Wars, conflicts, and human tragedies – who still thinks about traveling at times like these? Or is now precisely the time when people want to switch off and escape for a while? For years, investors have had to live with geopolitical uncertainty. So far, however, this has had little impact on equities, as there are always sectors that receive particular attention in such environments. Gold and silver have weathered the inflation surges since the COVID-19 pandemic remarkably well, while the tourism sector has been more of a roller coaster ride with several loops along the way. But what has worked in recent years is now back on the agenda: buy when the cannons thunder! It may sound lacking in empathy, yet it has consistently increased the wealth of those who accept the world as it is. We once again take a look at gold and the travel sector and prepare for another turbulent ride.

Scarcity drives prices – Market turbulence continues! Almonty, Shell, and BP are the winners in the current situation
Recent developments in the Middle East have put the commodity markets under considerable strain. Within a short period, the price of oil climbed to more than USD 115 per barrel, reaching a level not seen for several years. This movement is primarily driven by increasing risks to global energy trade following the further escalation of the situation in the Persian Gulf. Particular focus is on the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy transport routes. Around 20% of internationally traded crude oil passes through this strait every day, meaning that any disruption immediately affects prices and supply expectations. Yesterday, US President Donald Trump issued a clear warning to Iran not to disrupt international trade routes. Within four hours, the price of oil plummeted by USD 30. Scarcity, yes – volatility, extreme! The same applies to tungsten prices, which have risen by a further 100% since the beginning of the year. We take a closer look.

Iran and the oil dilemma – Alternatives on the rise! CHAR Technologies, Nordex, and Siemens Energy in focus
The geopolitical escalation in the Middle East has hit commodity markets with full force. At the beginning of the week, the price of oil surged above USD 115 per barrel as a result of the Iran crisis, but quickly fell back to around USD 105. Nevertheless, this remains a level that was last reached several years ago. The trigger has been major disruptions to supply chains around the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil trade normally passes. Oil has thus once again become a symbol of a classic geopolitical shock: physical scarcity meets panic-driven hedging on the futures markets. For dynamic investors, alternatives are coming to the fore. What can replace oil in the long term, or at least partially substitute it? CHAR Technologies, Nordex, and Siemens Energy may provide compelling answers.

Iran war and skyrocketing oil prices! Are there any winners at all? Infineon, First Hydrogen, and Aixtron in focus
Tensions in Iran have escalated rapidly, with military actions unfolding over a seven-day period. For the international community and struggling economies, a sustained 20% increase in oil prices means a sharp decline in economic growth and a huge surge in inflation on store shelves due to downstream inflationary effects. Consumers will not fall into a new buying frenzy in times of war, but will keep their wallets closed. Stock market traders need to think beyond short-term reactions. The real opportunities may now lie in companies that have struggled in recent days or emerging stocks with strong long-term prospects. Which names are positioned to recover fastest once the crisis stabilizes?

Rockets are blasting into March! Investors are eyeing E.ON, Standard Uranium, and Plug Power
The current military actions in Iran did not come as a complete surprise. However, very few observers had anticipated an escalation across the entire Middle East. Oil and gas are therefore once again testing a breakout, even though global markets should theoretically face a surplus due to the weak economic environment. Regardless, speculators are simply trading fossil fuels higher; let's see if they stay up there. The global expansion of nuclear power programs is being reinforced by such periods of uncertainty. One example is India, which plans to expand its nuclear power capacity to around 100 GW by 2047, while currently less than 10 GW is installed. Such expansion plans reflect the growing demand for reliable base load energy in an increasingly digitalized economy and act as a hedge against commodity-induced crises. The long-term demand outlook for uranium is improving almost daily as a result of such trends, drawing investors' attention to companies with promising projects. Here are a few ideas.

The clock strikes 13 – Iran is firing from all barrels! Investors are betting on Antimony Resources
Who would have thought it? US President Donald Trump is tackling the Iran issue together with Israel. It was long clear to experts that the Islamic world would not take kindly to this. Now there is speculation about how much military equipment is available on both sides to bring the supposed enemy to its knees. For investors, as for all bystanders, this is a humanitarian nightmare, yet military strategists think differently. They think in terms of supplies, production, and procurement. That the already scarce resources of recent months are being pushed through the supply chain once again is normal in such an environment. Since Monday, there have been three oil price shocks in a row. In addition to oil, investors should also keep an eye on strategic metals, especially antimony. The Canadian company Antimony Resources has seen a 100% increase since the turn of the year. Is there room for more?
