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.

Stock market correction? Gold target raised to USD 4,500 – Barrick, Sranan Gold, Rheinmetall, and Strategy
The time seems ripe for new positions. While the major indices DAX-40 and NASDAQ recently reached new highs, gold, silver, and Bitcoin are about to open entirely new chapters. At over USD 38.50, silver recently hit a 14-year high, and chart analysis now indicates a breakout. Bitcoin, often referred to as digital gold, also hit new highs with prices above USD 118,000. Arguments such as war, debt and inflation are causing investors to flee to safe havens. In the equity sector, defense and high-tech stocks with AI exposure are among this year's best performers. Investors should slowly start to slow down here, as the risk of a correction is increasing. Those investing in gold should consider adding stocks like Barrick Mining and First Majestic Silver to their portfolio, but Sranan Gold is an absolute buy. We are becoming increasingly skeptical about Rheinmetall, as the momentum has run out! We can help you restructure your portfolio.

Almonty Industries goes NASDAQ: In the fast lane with one of the world's most critical metals
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A414Q8; ISIN: CA0203987072; EUR 4.72) is in the final stages of its debut on the NASDAQ. To this end, the number of shares has been visually reduced so that the share price complies with the stricter regulations of the well-known American technology stock exchange. This marks the beginning of a new era for the raw materials company. In an environment of daily political upheaval, a wealth of business opportunities will open up in the coming months. CEO Lewis Black will continue the success of recent years with an increased stock market presence and will also welcome the new US shareholders to the ownership circle. The highlight: US companies are often valued at a multiple of other stock markets, especially in the armaments and defense sector. The excitement is mounting!

1,000 tanks for NATO - another 150% with armaments and gold? Rheinmetall, Dryden Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The news hit like a bombshell. NATO plans to deploy up to 1,000 modern main battle tanks along its eastern flank. Amid growing tensions with Russia and against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the defense alliance is sending a clear signal of deterrence. The plan is part of a comprehensive rearmament program to strengthen what is called "Forward Defense." Germany, Poland, and other Eastern European member states, in particular, are set to serve as logistical and operational hubs. It is not just about tanks; ammunition, spare parts, and maintenance infrastructure are also to be built up on a large scale. In addition, the defense sector will see investments of over EUR 1 trillion over the next decade. Reason enough for the next price explosion at Rheinmetall and Co. Security is also likely to be the reason for the impressive gold rally since the beginning of the year. Where will it end?

Attention: Critical Metals as Future Boosters! thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, Hensoldt, and Nordex
The start of the second half of the year is bringing new record highs, but volatility remains high. The stock markets are currently in turmoil, with prices changing direction almost daily. This is driven by new headlines about trade tariffs, geopolitical power games, and the question of global security. While the world is currently focused on armed conflicts, a key issue is increasingly coming to the fore for stock market traders: critical metals. These raw materials, ranging from rare earths and copper to gallium and titanium, are the backbone of modern technologies, green transformation, and military strength. In the defense industry, shortages of critical metals could now become a strategic risk, a fact that many still underestimate. Western industrialized nations are therefore increasing efforts to secure raw material sources and reduce their dependence on geopolitically fragile suppliers. Where are the new high-yield champions for your portfolio?

The gold hammer! Goldman Sachs predicts USD 4,500 – Barrick, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and thyssenkrupp
The highest current estimate by investment banks for the price of gold is USD 4,500 per ounce by the end of 2025. This is the extreme scenario from Goldman Sachs, which could materialize in the event of a severe recession or major geopolitical escalation. In addition to the ever-present war scenarios, the economic outlook in the US also remains a source of uncertainty. The prospect of persistently high interest rates is fueling inflation concerns, with many wealthy investors pulling out of the dollar and increasingly turning to gold. This is also because US fiscal policy is perceived as increasingly chaotic. Additional tariffs are pushing the budget deficit even higher, creating an environment in which tangible assets are becoming more attractive. The increased demand for gold from institutional investors, funds, and central banks sends a clear message: the precious metals sector is on the verge of a new upswing.

Almonty fires up the turbo: Reaching new heights with tungsten and foresight
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; EUR 2.75) is set to become a key player in strategic raw material security in 2025, and with good reason. Despite a fourfold increase in its share price and a market value of over CAD 1.2 billion, the story is far from over. Of particular concern are the intensifying international tensions between the power blocs of the US, Europe, and China, which show no signs of easing. At recent summit meetings, it became clear that neither side is willing to make concessions, even on minor issues. Tariffs, inflation, high debt, and a dire supply situation on the commodity markets are further exacerbating the political rifts between East and West. At the center of this storm are commodity producers and industrial buyers who depend on stable supply chains. Here is an update on our top pick: Almonty Industries.

Lightning on the horizon in the biotech sector: Refinancing on the rise! Keep an eye on Formycon, PanGenomic Health, Bayer, and Novo Nordisk
In the first half of 2025, the biotech sector demonstrated resilience and innovation despite macroeconomic uncertainties. Venture capital financing reached an impressive USD 6.5 billion, with a focus on companies with clinically validated data. Large financing deals such as the USD 365 million for Pathos AI underscore the strategic investor focus on AI and digitalization. The IPO market remains highly selective, but strong stock market debuts such as that of Caris Life Sciences are sending positive signals. At the same time, the M&A sector is booming with billion-dollar acquisitions by pharmaceutical giants such as J&J and Novo. So far in 2025, the biotech sector has demonstrated targeted capital allocation, dynamic consolidation, and growing confidence in medical breakthroughs. Here are a few ideas for a balanced portfolio of opportunities.

1600% with Bitmine and Circle Internet – The next opportunities are lurking at Plug Power and naoo!
The stock market has surprises in store every day, with crypto- and AI-related business models currently causing a stir. Stocks such as Galaxy and Mara Holding are still among the harmless ones, with gains of 200 to 400%. Things really got going with Bitmine Immersion and Circle Internet. While Bitmine posted a 1,000% rally on Monday, Circle Internet took a whole month to increase its value sixfold. However, it is not necessarily the business model that determines whether stocks take off or not. Often, all it takes is a wave of discussion on the internet or social media channels and the wave breaks. Plug Power and naoo could be the next candidates for a rise. We analyze why.

Climate protection meets infrastructure: Argo Living relies on graphene for low-emission concrete
The construction industry is responsible for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions, and construction is taking place virtually everywhere. Anyone in the cement manufacturing industry who can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions is making a measurable impact on global climate targets. This creates visibility, political support, and ESG relevance, all of which are drivers for rising company valuations. The topic is highly relevant because several trillion USD will be invested in new infrastructure worldwide by 2050, including through programs such as the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the EU Green Deal, and the reconstruction of Ukraine once the time comes. Investors are specifically looking for companies that are also included in these public budgets, as green building materials are considered a key technology. Argo Graphene Solutions (formerly Argo Living Soils) is perfecting this concept, and its stock is on the rise.
