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.

Trump rally boosts Vidac Pharma: Further milestones in cancer research achieved!
Humanity continues to fight relentlessly against cancer. As one of the most common causes of death, researchers have been trying to unravel the secrets of this terrible disease for more than 175 years. Meanwhile, early detection and forms of therapy have come a long way, and many patients diagnosed with cancer often go on to live for many years after their diagnosis. However, it is still too early for triumph; progress is incremental and costs time and money. The dream of biotech investors is to find the needle in the haystack. Which publicly listed company will achieve the long-awaited breakthrough? Vidac Pharma has so far achieved recognized milestones and continues its research in a targeted manner. According to a recent study on the Company, investors could see a tenfold increase over the next few years. This is reason enough for us to take a closer look!

Tariffs, rare earths, Greenland, and Trump! BYD, European Lithium, VW, and thyssenkrupp in focus
The cat is out of the bag! Donald Trump is imposing tariffs of 20 to 34%, thus snubbing his transatlantic trade partners. What has worked well for years is now being put to the test. It did not take long for reactions to the extensive tariff plans to materialize. The state and party leadership in Beijing responded to Trump's ultimatum by announcing counter-tariffs of 34 to 84%. This means that the escalation spiral in the trade dispute between the USA and China continues. The EU had already imposed some additional tariffs in March and is now waiting to see whether the US administration will change its mind. Meanwhile, the focus is once again on rare earths, as China is now imposing export restrictions on this precious commodity. Trump's imperialism is also targeting Greenland again. This is an interesting situation for investors.

The tariff crash à la Trump is on! dynaCERT is causing a stir at the world's largest construction machinery trade fair
Traffic in Munich is currently at a standstill for a week. With the start of the largest trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles, and construction equipment, "bauma" in Munich is taking a future-oriented look at innovations across many sectors of the economy. With over 600,000 square meters of exhibition space and more than 3,500 exhibitors, it offers a platform for cross-border exchange. More than 500,000 visitors are expected. Even though the stock markets are currently correcting, climate change issues remain high on the agenda. Companies that can deliver productive approaches in this area remain the focus of sustainably-minded investors. The Canadian innovator dynaCERT (WKN: A1KBAV | ISIN: CA26780A1084 | TSE: DYA) can deliver significant savings in energy consumption with its combustion optimization via hydrogen and provides its customers with access to the coveted CO2 certificates. The international rollout is already in full swing. Trump's tariff madness and the current stock market correction offer a sustainable opportunity for investors.

Trump tariff crash – Now is the time to pick the cherries! Steyr, Mutares, naoo AG, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank in focus
Donald J. Trump is making the world tremble. After he read out his list of punitive tariffs of 10 to 34% in the middle of the week, the international stock markets went into free fall. The DAX, DOW, and NASDAQ corrected by over 10% and closed at a daily low on Friday. The reason: China had imposed immediate countermeasures of 34%. A nightmare for consumers worldwide. Because on top of the inflation that has already manifested itself since Corona, there is now a further surge in prices that cannot be absorbed by anything. However, it will be costly for the Americans - they import over 70% of their goods abroad. The winners could be China and Europe if a free trade agreement is now agreed and the US is simply left out in the cold. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Tesla is out; SMRs are in! Green hydrogen in focus at nucera, Nel ASA, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, and Oklo
Even if Donald Trump denies climate change, the international community still has hydrogen and alternative energies on the agenda. Within the new US administration, nuclear projects have been under discussion for several months, alongside an emphasis on fossil fuels. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are being discussed in this context. They can be planned and put into operation in a much shorter time and are highly flexible in their applications. In the US, Oklo is moving forward in this area, and the Canadian company First Hydrogen is also in the starting blocks to roll out its innovative solutions. This means that green hydrogen remains in focus. Which stocks are coming to the fore?

Was that the Trump crash? Nevertheless, steeply upwards with Evotec, Bayer, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, or Valneva?
Since November 2024, Donald Trump has driven the markets sharply upward - his controversial new presidency was largely celebrated by investors. Now, his leadership feels somewhat unsettling, with fires seemingly being set again at every corner. The new president is acting more imperiously than ever, with Panama, Canada, and Greenland verbally on the agenda as the next US states. Meanwhile, the US administration is facing a considerable deficit, which is to be addressed by drastically reducing the size of the public sector and introducing tariffs. Unsurprisingly, interest rates are now rising sharply, which is a reason for weaker prices in the biotech sector. However, the sector has done its homework and is emerging from a three-year downturn. Are we now at buying levels?

After a 200% surge, is a takeover now on the cards? Almonty Industries ignites the next stage!
Almost daily, the capital markets must contend with new announcements from the White House. One day, it is the US distancing itself from NATO; the next, there are demands that poorly defended Greenland should join the US as quickly as possible. At first glance, Donald Trump appears to be a stag gone wild in his dealings with his transatlantic allies, but at second glance, a strategy emerges. The US administration fears losing power and an international conspiracy against the US dollar. The hegemony of the West has been faltering since Russia formed an alliance with the BRICS countries and established a new power bloc. The problem: Western industries remain highly dependent on raw material supplies from these emerging states. Now, it is becoming clear where the journey is headed for the West: Securing raw material sources, building up a new military strike force, and ensuring mutual security in case of need, even without US support. Whoever can deliver strategic metals in this scenario is king. A glance at the chart of Almonty Industries (EUR 1.30; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; TSX: AII) illustrates the plight: time is of the essence!

Doubling possible: Using artificial intelligence! Deutsche Telekom, NetraMark Holdings, Kontron, and 1&1
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G opens up new possibilities in various areas. The strengths of 5G, such as high speed, low latency, and large network capacity, perfectly complement the capabilities of AI. The goal is to recognize complex patterns, automate processes, and make decisions in real time. AI has long since found its place in medicine and pharmaceutical development. High-tech and telecom companies are working on many promising topics here. For some stocks, this is the starting signal for a higher valuation. We highlight some of the opportunities.

Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!

Steyr, Hensoldt, Mutares, and thyssenkrupp sell, First Phosphate remains a gamechanger
The special fund of up to EUR 1 trillion has been approved. What seemed impossible before the election is now law. Federal President Steinmeier signed the amendment to the constitution at the weekend, thereby sealing the largest economic stimulus package in German economic history. Instead of celebrating, the DAX only rose briefly to 23,136 points, then the sell-off occurred according to the motto "Buy the Rumor, Sell the Fact". The hyped defense stocks could now suffer the same fate. A lot of imagination has been priced in here, but capacity expansion is proceeding slowly. Therefore, not all expectations will immediately translate into positive cash flows. A thorough analysis is needed!
