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.

Uncertainty, volatility and BTC at USD 100,000? The stock checklist with BYD, VW, 123fahrschule and Mercedes
Donald Trump is moving back into the White House. Investors took the election result as an opportunity to stage a celebration on the US stock market. The major indices recorded a full 10% increase, and the US dollar strengthened significantly. Trump stands for fossil fuels, nuclear power and armaments. He dismisses climate change and the Paris Agreement and will not invest any further funds in the energy transition. This is a warning sign for the European economy because local governments are pursuing a "net zero" target for 2045, and their efforts are globally losing ground. High costs are squeezing the margins of local corporations, whereas US companies and Asian firms are doing brilliantly. For investors, there are many opportunities and timing is more important than ever. We have done the math.

The acquisition carousel is gaining momentum! Evotec, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Formycon in focus
The biotech sector is in the spotlight again today. Triton's entry into Evotec means that another deal is in the works, and investors should now take notice. Many still remember MorphoSys, where there were short-term gains of up to 400% at the beginning of the year. Before that, the stock had been trading with high volumes. Will Formycon or Vidac Pharma be next on the list? Formycon is now getting significantly more attention because the stock switched to the Prime Standard. Evotec has once again disappointed operationally, yet the value has increased by a good 50% in just two months. Those who analyze carefully can profit again. A sharp analytical eye is worthwhile.

Gold correction - Now is the time to take advantage of the lows! Takeover rumors at Evotec, Desert Gold, Bayer and SMCI
The re-election of Donald Trump as US President had varying effects on the capital markets. The US dollar gained against all currencies, while the hot topic Bitcoin reached new all-time highs of over USD 90,000. The enormous influx of funds into the US stock markets initially slowed down other exchanges. At the same time, the previously sought-after precious metals corrected sharply, putting pressure on mining stocks again. The first shockwaves have now been absorbed, and attention is turning to the real political issues that the White House will now push forward. Defense, industry, and security are in the spotlight, while biotech and green tech remain sidelined. There are some interesting special movements that we will examine here.

Traffic light disaster brings new opportunities for e-mobility: VW, BMW, ARI Motors, BYD and NIO
The traffic light coalition has broken down – so right before left applies! In addition to the Berlin disaster, a relentless struggle has long since broken out in the automotive market. Habeck, for example, wants to get the environmental subsidy back in 2025 due to a sharp drop in electric vehicle sales, while important market shares of German industry have long since been lost. Germany is making only hesitant progress in the area of energy transition, while nuclear energy is experiencing a renaissance worldwide. Fortunately, innovative concepts are repeatedly emerging from medium-sized companies, driving Germany forward as a business location. With a new, forward-looking industrial policy, Germany could regain its leading position. For dynamic investors, this is an explosive environment with extraordinary opportunities for high returns.

Trump is back! Buy commodities; hydrogen is on the sidelines! Siemens Energy, Globex Mining, Nel and Plug Power
With Trump's election victory and the resignation of the coalition government, the European Union's "NetZero" strategy by 2050 could be undermined. New governments now recognize that persistently high energy prices lead to significant job losses in industry. Large corporations are turning their backs on Germany in particular, where energy costs are sometimes ten times higher than in other countries around the world. America is once again taking a unique path. According to Trump, energy prices should be halved, signaling clear support for expanding fossil fuels and a strong stance against costly hydrogen solutions. However, the strengthened industrial policy should also drive up the consumption of raw materials, positioning Globex Mining in a good position and sidelining Nel ASA and Plug Power. What should investors look out for now?

Traffic light madness! The turnaround at BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Nordex and Siemens Energy
The traffic light coalition departs – and the economy breathes a sigh of relief. Key future topics such as the energy transition, e-mobility and the energy storage market now have good prospects. With a redefinition of industrial policy in Germany, confidence is returning to small and medium-sized companies. With a constant stream of new regulations, high energy costs and excessive bureaucracy, the failed coalition had many things in mind – but not the economic well-being of Germany. A murmur is going through the fragile industrial complexes with the announced new election. We expect a surge of innovative ideas, especially in the areas of energy security and mobility. Check your portfolio!

Trump triumphs! What happens now with gold, e-mobility and green tech? BYD, VW, Thunder Gold, Nel, and Plug Power in focus
The US election is over. Donald Trump is moving back into the White House. Along with a tougher stance on China, conservative voters in the US are hoping for a greater focus on their own country. America needs a complete renewal of its infrastructure and will push ahead with armaments, so commodities of all kinds will come into focus. For Europe, the degree of responsibility for its own affairs will increase significantly, and the development of stable supply chains is imperative. Trump supports Bitcoin, so gold may have to give up some of its recent gains. What are the yield or loss drivers for investors now? After the election, investors should separate the wheat from the chaff to ensure their portfolios are properly positioned.

US election and the biotech sector – A hot November is on the cards! BioNTech, Pfizer, Nyxoah, Bayer or Evotec?
With anticipation building for both the Q3 earnings season and the US election results, the markets are in a wait-and-see mode. Democrat frontrunner Kamala Harris is said to be committed to continuing the successful policies of her predecessor Joe Biden. Of course, science, research and climate protection are in the spotlight. Her rival, Donald Trump, is said to be more concerned with strengthening the traditional economy, where automotive engineering, the defense industry and security companies come to the fore. Additionally, markets are looking to central banks for cues, as lower interest rates would be a boon for the biotech sector. Here are some investment ideas for dynamic investors in this promising climate.

New gold record at almost USD 2,800 and takeover circus! 1000% chance with Desert Gold
Why are precious metal prices rising so sharply?
For three weeks now, prices for gold and silver have been soaring. Yesterday, the price of gold reached a new record high of USD 2,795. The price is being driven by speculation about falling interest rates and the uncertain outcome of the US presidential election. Among the key price drivers is the speculation on lower interest rates, especially after major central banks like the Fed and the ECB have officially initiated a shift in their monetary policy by lowering their key interest rates. Since gold does not yield any market interest, speculation about further falling financing rates and crumbling government bond coupons automatically leads to higher demand for gold. Then there are the ongoing geopolitical conflicts around the world, which are moving into a new dimension with the attacks and retaliatory strikes between Israel and Iran. The impending election also plays a significant role, with market participants preparing for a potential presidency under Donald Trump, as polls indicate his victory is becoming more likely. Here, too, gold is benefiting from the prospect of an election victory by the former president, as he is likely to massively expand the country's debt due to the announced investments in industry and security, but at the same time, force the Fed to cut interest rates further to make this course of action financially viable. However, since a Trump presidency remains uncertain, the precious metal should have further upside potential in the short term while also experiencing significant fluctuations.
