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.

The copper war! Nordex, Orestone Mining, Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp - Shortage of copper weighs on Greentech expansion
The World Copper Conference 2023 took place in Chile in mid-April. According to the experts, the global energy turnaround requires huge investments in new industrial metal mines, especially copper. The red metal has become very rare, and the large deposits are working at their capacity limits. One figure made the conference participants turn pale. According to estimates by the International Copper Association (ICA), at least USD 105 billion must be invested to provide enough mining capacity for the upcoming demand. Converted into quantities, this means 6.5 million tonnes more than the production from 2022. Anyone hearing these figures doubts the successful solution to climate change. Some stocks are to be considered in this context.

Nuclear off, secure energy now! Altech Advanced Materials, Varta and BYD - Up 700 % and no end in sight?
The nuclear reactors are now off! As though there was enough energy far and wide, the Berlin government ensemble decided to phase out nuclear energy. The reaction of the electricity suppliers followed immediately. On Monday, April 17, E.ON raised its electricity prices by 43%. Meanwhile, the coalition government cannot be deterred from suggesting to citizens that electricity prices will decrease in the long term. It will now be difficult for private households to behave in a climate-friendly way and still be able to consume. There are plenty of solutions for battery storage, but what is affordable and reliable? We take a look at an industry with a future.

Artificial intelligence is the new gold - TUI, Lufthansa and Star Navigation Systems with 100% chance!
The world of flight and travel is in a state of upheaval as artificial intelligence enters the decision-making world of humans. Quite unconsciously, various recommendations are creeping into the email boxes of citizens based on the usage behavior derived from Big Data collected over the past months or even years. The well-known IT giants collect data from our consumption and payment habits, analyze websites visited and build targeted advertising in the background, which wanders across our screens quasi "at random" in all situations in life. Although no one is really surprised here any more, 30% of our purchasing behaviour now comes from the Big Data machinery. Some stocks are making a name for themselves here.

Tesla, BYD and Volkswagen are all looking for the perfect battery. First Phosphate, BASF and Varta in focus
The battery is becoming the linchpin of e-mobility. As the batteries age, their performance diminishes, which will soon affect this technology's first buyers. Although there are fewer wearing parts on an electric vehicle than on a conventional combustion engine, the battery is one of the most expensive components. Therefore, its replacement is anything but cheap. Meanwhile, big manufacturers like Tesla, BYD and VW are working on the ultimate battery with increased power and range. Volkswagen is investing EUR 10 billion in a new gigafactory near Valencia. The sector is betting on the new mobility, and the industry is adapting accordingly. Which shares have their noses in the wind?

100 gigawatts by 2030 - Hydrogen to the rescue! What happens to Plug Power, dynaCERT, Nel ASA and ThyssenKrupp?
According to various surveys, the installed capacity for hydrogen is currently just 1.75 gigawatts. Nuclear power is history, but still, Germany wants to become climate neutral by 2045 at the latest. How is this to be achieved? The EU has set some guidelines and wants to install 100 gigawatts of green hydrogen by 2030. That would require more than 60 times as many electrolyzers as today for Ursula von der Leyen's plan to work. The cost of research, development and production, including infrastructure, is about EUR 2.5 trillion, which EU citizens are expected to pay for a lower-emission future. What should investors pay particular attention to on the stock market now?

Nuclear Power - No Thanks! E.ON, GoviEx Uranium, BASF - Questionable energy transition made in Berlin
Renewable energies are in focus! All well and good - Germany is repositioning itself. The focus is to be on hydropower, wind and solar energy. But these energy sources have little baseload capacity because hydroelectric power plants use "cheap" night electricity to pump water uphill, and reliable wind is probably only available offshore and not in the middle of Saxony. That brings us to the sun: On average, in our latitudes, it shines for about 146 hours a month, but in Alicante, it is 349 hours. Of course, large rooftop systems pay off for well-located households and one's e-mobile, but we cannot get a nationwide basic supply going with them. In the supply crisis, Berlin is relying on coal and gas power generation for now, but the much-touted climate neutrality is likely to be postponed to the next millennium. What should investors now keep an eye on?

With the shutdown of nuclear power plants comes the end of nuclear power! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, E.ON - Greentech stocks on the rise
Now it is done. The German government is implementing the decision from 2011 with a slight delay due to the crisis and is taking the last three remaining nuclear power plants off the grid. Those who expected a blackout were proven wrong, at least over the weekend. Federal Economics Minister Habeck predicts a complete CO2 renewal for Germany and believes that Germany as an industrial location does not need nuclear power to be profitable. He also believes that electricity prices will fall again in the long run. The primary utility E.ON, however, did not hesitate to combine the nuclear phase-out with a hefty increase in electricity prices by about 45%. After all, what is currently easier to sell to end consumers than an imposed price squeeze that they no longer want to carry on their own books? Politically highly questionable, but a good opportunity for Greentech shares.

Attention, biotech is back! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech - These stocks are breaking out!
For months the market did not care about biotech stocks. But now technical bottoms have been reached, and a rise is likely. In this context, the capital market interest rate is important: if it falls due to increased fears of recession, there is no stopping the biotechs because refinancing costs fall. Sentiment measurements over Easter showed that the risk bias of investors has also returned. If not now, then when, the moment is favorable! Shortlist the following stocks.

DAX in the Easter rally! Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel, Thyssenkrupp - Buy hydrogen selectively
The 3 Cs are currently doing the rounds: conflict, crisis and climate change. We cannot influence the war, but there seem to be many vested interests that can exploit the geopolitical uncertainty for their own benefit. With Credit Suisse, the potential crisis took shape again for the first time since 2008, but it has been averted for the time being. Then there is climate change, which we do feel from time to time. It is not only through the actions of the Last Generation that many measures have been taken, and more are being taken every day. In the discussion on sustainable energy production, there is a lot of confidence in hydrogen that the industrial breakthrough is imminent. What values should investors keep their eyes on?

Blackout in Germany! Siemens Energy, Myriad Uranium, Rheinmetall - We are shutting down the reactors!
Only three more weeks until the final shutdown of the last 3 nuclear reactors in the Federal Republic of Germany. How nice that we can rely on supplies from France, Belgium and the Czech Republic to meet our electricity needs in the future. The traffic light coalition in Berlin obviously believes that this is a service to the German citizens. Wrongly thought: both on the cost side of energy purchasing and on the safety side, the elected politicians are once again doing us a disservice. The bottom line is that electricity prices will continue to rise, the implementation of e-mobility will become increasingly questionable, and the security situation at the borders of our republic will become more and more precarious because we should not be fooled into thinking that a Czech reactor poses fewer risks than the Isar 2 nuclear power plant in Ohu. How can the equity investor still profit?
