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.

Oil Volatility Shakes Markets – Life Sciences Stocks Back in Focus: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Valneva, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer
The conflicts in the Middle East continue. With the first talks between the US and Iran, the stock markets made a lightning-fast upward adjustment. As a result, the German benchmark index DAX 40 gained a full 1,600 points within just 10 minutes at the start of the week. However, it was unable to hold that level, falling back to 22,600 points yesterday. The question now is whether the parties to the conflict can actually reach a viable solution. Completely unfazed by the broader market conditions, some news is making waves in the life sciences sector, driving price movements here and there. It is good to shift the focus away from daily market fluctuations and toward other profitable sectors. Here are a few ideas.

Trump and the EU Need Critical Metals and Oil Alternatives! BHP, Avrupa Minerals, Mercedes, and BYD
As oil prices surge to new levels above USD 100, investors are facing heightened supply chain concerns. Just as during the COVID-19 pandemic, global trade relations in the commodities sector are at risk of grinding to a halt due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Following significant price declines across all industrial sectors, it is essential to identify potential winners. The commodities giant BHP can look forward to rising revenues and cash flows, while a new surge in e-mobility is expected in the alternative energy sector. Avrupa Minerals is searching for critical materials in Finland and Portugal and has already made discoveries. An exciting investment opportunity is currently emerging.

Sharp Corrections for the DAX, NASDAQ, BTC, Gold, and Silver – But Almonty Industries Is Showing Its Strength!
17% of Qatar's LPG capacity was destroyed last week, with damage expected to last 2 to 3 years. What madness! Iran is targeting critical infrastructure of Western allies in response to Israeli-American aggression. This brings back the horror scenarios from the COVID-19 pandemic, as we are likely to witness the collapse of global supply chains - at least for a few months. For the capital markets, this means constant stress mode, with high volatility and a downward trend. Even safe havens like gold and silver are under massive selling pressure - presumably due to liquidity shortages. One commodity, however, is trending from one high to the next: tungsten. This critically important metal for the defense industry has reached prices of up to USD 2,800 per metric ton unit (MTU). One company particularly exposed to this trend is Almonty Industries, already up over 2,000% in the last 18 months. What is next here?

DAX and NASDAQ Plunge, but Drones Are on the Order List: How Is Volatus Aerospace Faring?
The escalation surrounding Iran is currently starkly illustrating just how much modern conflicts are shaped by unmanned systems. Drone attacks on storage and energy infrastructure in the Gulf region are driving not only geopolitical uncertainty but also oil prices skyward, putting global markets under pressure. At the same time, we are witnessing a broad sell-off in the stock markets, triggered by fears of inflation, supply bottlenecks, and a further escalation of the conflict. What is striking here is that while traditional markets come under pressure, the strategic importance of technologies for reconnaissance, surveillance, and the protection of critical infrastructure is rapidly increasing. This is precisely where new demand cycles are emerging, not only in the military sector but also in energy, security, and industry. It is at this striking intersection that the true investment story of Volatus Aerospace begins.

Silver Corrects to USD 65 – Speculators Are Worried, Industry Is Celebrating! Silver North, Infineon, and Micron Technologies in Focus
Incredible! Yesterday, silver fell back to USD 65 after hitting a record high of USD 122 in January. The metal had also hovered around this level in December, before the major futures market coverage frenzy swept through the capital markets. A huge stroke of luck for producers, as margins had improved by USD 70 per ounce within six weeks - a boon also for explorers like Silver North, who were able to assign entirely different values to their resources. A curse, however, for industry, which relies heavily on critical metals and now has almost no capacity left to acquire on open markets. It is conceivable that some industrial sectors will report serious shortages in the coming months. We take a closer look at the silver market and its key players.

200% Stock Surge: The Battle for Dominance in Critical Metals with Antimony Resources
It is remarkable how quickly critical metal shortages can translate into stock gains! Antimony Resources (ATMY | CA0369271014) stock soared from EUR 0.33 to EUR 1.00 within three months - a clean triple! The backdrop for this development likely lies in the multitude of geopolitical conflicts, as they require the use of extensive technology and military equipment. Here, the raw material antimony is at the top of procurement lists. In addition to all kinds of defense technology, the metal is also needed in data centers. Server racks contain kilograms of antimony-containing, flame-retardant cable sheathing. The solar industry also uses sodium antimonate, and complex specialty alloys benefit from the material properties of this flame-retardant element. What is next for Antimony Resources?

Drone Warfare Reshapes NATO Priorities: Airbus, DroneShield, and NEO Battery Materials in Focus
Things are not progressing as quickly as the US president had hoped with the "Iran special operation." Airstrikes against Iran began in early March, and since then, markets have been fluctuating wildly, almost hourly. Even though the destruction of Iran's nuclear programs is widely welcomed, a new oil and gas shortage is emerging for Western economies, as around 20% of daily production is transported through the Strait of Hormuz, a route also used by container ships. Investors must therefore once again contend with a new supply constraint that is shaking global supply chains. In highly specialized industries, "just-in-time" production thus becomes a gamble. Defense and military stocks are once again in focus, but due to the enormous challenges posed by constantly evolving conflict zones, specialists in energy storage and electrical infrastructure are also moving into the spotlight. A healthy mix of all these sectors could even generate gains in times like these.

And then suddenly, things are looking up! Take advantage of bargain prices at Oracle, Aspermont, and Alibaba
Crazy times! Right now, 70% of the daily news is dominated by geopolitics. Who doesn't sometimes lose sight of the stocks in such a climate? It is understandable, because amid such great human suffering, the desire to maximize profits in one's portfolio can occasionally fade. Nevertheless, investors should not lose sight of the many opportunities presented by this enormous volatility. Aspermont, the Australian news, database, and AI specialist for the commodities sector, is currently handling the highest volume in the resources sector - business is booming. Looking beyond the horizon, cloud giants Oracle and Alibaba are also in the spotlight. The charts show multi-year lows. Buy when the cannons roar! Perhaps good advice these days.

Uranium and nuclear power over hydrogen! Investors favoring Stallion Uranium and leaving Nel ASA and Plug Power behind!
The recent military operations in Iran were unsurprising, given the prolonged, fruitless nuclear negotiations. However, few forecasters would have predicted a regional escalation across the entire Middle East. As a result, oil and gas markets are once again exploring the potential for an upturn, even though a global oversupply should prevail due to recession fears. Regardless, traders are driving energy prices ever higher; yesterday, Brent crude once again surged past the magic USD 100 mark. It remains to be seen whether the trend will hold. At the same time, geopolitical turbulence is fueling the global expansion of nuclear energy. India, for example, plans to increase its nuclear capacity to around 100 GW by 2047, starting from just under 10 GW today. These plans underscore the drive for a stable base supply in a hyper-digital world. The IT giants are also playing a major role, as they need electricity. As a result, demand for uranium is rising steadily, drawing attention to companies with strong reserves. Stallion Uranium is one of them. We take a closer look!

Oil Crisis 5.0 is Pure Fiction: Shell, American Atomics, and E.ON Call the Shots
The same old refrain every day: We are running out of oil! The Strait of Hormuz is about to be closed! This is scaremongering by the oil lobby, which has been suffering from relatively low oil prices of USD 60 to USD 80 for the past two years. So a bit of stress is injected into the system, a few images of burning oil facilities appear in the news, and prices quickly start soaring again. Oil prices have already surged well above USD 100 twice on strong momentum - but that is not what scarcity looks like! The "Peak Oil" myth has already been debunked several times. In reality, with all the renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, oil demand has reached a peak, which, according to experts, is almost exactly 100 million barrels per day. And as recent studies show, there is still enough oil on Earth to last well over 200 years. So: take advantage of short-selling opportunities in the oil market as the conflict draws to a close, ride Shell's current oil wave as long as possible, and keep an eye on upcoming energy favorites such as American Atomics, RWE, or E.ON. Then your portfolio will be smiling - without falling into sheer panic.
