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.

Top stocks performance check: Plug Power, Nel ASA, Altech Advanced Materials, VW, and BYD
A fierce battle has broken out in the automotive market. Habeck is considering reinstating the 2023 environmental subsidies due to a sharp drop in electric vehicle sales, but important market shares have already been lost. In the area of energy transition, Germany is progressing slowly, while nuclear energy is experiencing a global renaissance. Fortunately, innovative concepts are repeatedly emerging from small and medium-sized companies that are helping advance Germany as a business location. While hydrogen continues to play a peripheral role, Altech Advanced Materials has now launched the first prototype of a sodium chloride solid-state battery. For dynamic investors, this presents an explosive environment with extraordinary return opportunities.

New DAX highs – are 100% gains still possible for Airbus, Rheinmetall, Almonty, or Hensoldt after the correction?
With a new all-time high of over 19,400 points, the DAX has now run very far. The drivers are the recent interest rate cuts by the central banks and hopes of an early change of government in Berlin. Despite the widespread euphoria, some top stocks have already corrected significantly. Possible peace negotiations in Ukraine initially pushed down the well-performing armaments stocks. However, with the renewed escalation of Russian attacks, these hopes have once again faded into the distance. As a result, defense stocks and tungsten supplier Almonty Industries are back in the spotlight. Strategic metals also remain on the shopping lists of Western nations, and the focus is now on securing the supply chains as best as possible. Where are the opportunities for investors?

150% turnaround likely! TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Plug Power, Novo Nordisk, and Evotec in focus
With the FED's latest interest rate cut, the way is paved for higher prices. In addition to the main performers, investors are increasingly turning their attention to equities that have so far seen little appreciation. The key question here is when the fundamentals will ultimately improve. This could then ensure that the analysts' bias finally turns and positive assessments are possible again. TUI, Evotec, and Plug Power are currently at very interesting points, while Saturn Oil & Gas is delivering results consistently and is now being recognized by institutional investors. Where are the opportunities for investors?

The biotech rally of the century is on the horizon! 150% returns with BioNTech, Pfizer, Nyxoah, Bayer, or Evotec?
The stock market keeps climbing, and now it is moving even faster with a double-whammy interest rate cut from the Fed! In a surprising move, the US Federal Reserve pulls a 0.5% rate cut from its magic hat, boosting market sentiment. Now, it is certain that life will continue in the biotech sector. However, selecting the right stocks remains challenging. With a medium-term focus, paying attention to management quality is important because the recent price declines were too high in some cases. However, some research approaches promise a better future. BioNTech, Pfizer, and Bayer have already bottomed out. Nyxoah and Evotec are now showing the first signs of breaking out after a period of consolidation. What is the short-term outlook?

Environmental funding is back, now 100% with e-mobility stocks! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, BYD and NIO
E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe because, despite the punitive tariffs imposed, thousands of new vehicles reach the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg every week. Prices are up to 30% lower than comparable EU models. Due to the current sales crisis, the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs visited the crisis-ridden VW Group. There, he assured that he wanted to help and promised new funding for electric vehicles. However, it is not that simple because subsidies require the approval of the EU. This week, Habeck has been invited to the crisis summit of the automotive industry. This could represent the turning point for the struggling automotive industry. Valuations in the sector are at their lowest in years. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Turnaround stocks – Here we go! 250% returns with thyssenkrupp, nucera, Evotec, VCI Global and A2Z Cust2Mate
The stock markets are going up and up, even in the most challenging stock market month of the year. Because the market had already corrected in July, the bulls say that the need to catch up is all the greater due to upcoming interest rate cuts by central banks. The bears believe that the valuation of tech and AI stocks, in particular, is already far too advanced and are hoping for a correction. Yet, green signals dominate daily, and now the question is which lagging stocks to invest in. Of course, it does not work without fundamentals, but sometimes insider buying is enough to lift sentiment. We select promising risk-return profiles for risk-conscious investors.

All-time highs and lows! 100% with SMCI, BlockchainK2, and Intel, but Caution with SAP and Palantir
The buying frenzy in the tech sector continues, but performance remains highly differentiated. While the stocks that have performed well are correcting for the time being, the rally continues unabated for the stock market darlings. Interest rate cuts are the fuel driving prices ever higher. The old PE ratio admonishers have been ignored for several quarters now; what matters most now is momentum and sentiment. This week, it is happening again - an interest rate cut by the FED is on the agenda. And as the saying goes: Never fight the FED! Where are the opportunities for dynamic investors?

This is unbelievable! 250% with an announcement: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Evotec, and Valneva
The stock market has been rallying week after week, yet the biotech sector stubbornly lags behind. However, with the first interest rate cut in Europe, the path of lower financing options has now also been mapped out for the US. This week, the FED is set to decide on rate cuts, with 87% of capital market experts expecting a total of three cuts by the end of the year. That would be grist to the mill for growth stocks. Vidac Pharma has already gained 50% in 2 months, and Bayer and Evotec will likely follow soon. Valneva is raising EUR 61 million and aims to break even operationally. What is next for the sector?

Caution: The next commodity rally boosts Globex but brings higher costs for VW, BMW, and BYD!
The price of copper exceeded the USD 9,000 mark again in September, and future prices remain stable above the USD 9,400 mark. This makes it clear to high-tech manufacturers and producers of alternative energies that the desired electrification will cause significantly higher costs than anticipated. Despite the global economic stagnation, commodity prices remain high. This is mainly due to the general increase in operating costs in mining operations. Energy, material, and personnel costs have seen the most significant increases in over 30 years since 2020. Major consumers of industrial metals, in particular, are now having to dig deeper into their pockets. For some, this is feasible, but for mass producers such as Volkswagen or BYD, this means increased pressure on margins. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Warning: DAX and stock correction - Here come the Comeback stocks! TUI, ThyssenKrupp, Nucera, Desert Gold, and Lufthansa
The stock market gives and takes. After a sharp correction in July, there was a real buying frenzy in August. Surprisingly, however, the old crowd pullers did not reach new highs. Chart technicians interpret this as a dangerous double top with a subsequent sell trigger, which was already in place last week. So, while the major stocks continue to sell off day after day, the underperformers of recent months are starting to attract renewed attention. And if the rotation is successful, quick rebounds with decent returns are on the cards. We take a closer look at a few turnaround candidates.
