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.

AI Infrastructure as a Megatrend: The Trillion-Dollar Race Involving Palantir, Micron, American Atomics, and AMD Continues
The global rise of artificial intelligence (AI) can no longer be reduced to just the software level; rather, it is evolving into a battle for physical computing power and stable energy grids. Within this fundamental ecosystem, Palantir orchestrates the massive data streams from government and commercial institutions and uses software to ensure that the physical IT infrastructure can be utilized efficiently in the first place. To provide the necessary processing power, semiconductor giant AMD is supplying the highly sought-after next-generation AI accelerator chips in an effort to gradually chip away at market leader Nvidia's market share. However, each of these high-performance computing operations requires immense amounts of ultra-fast storage, giving storage specialist Micron, as an indispensable supplier of the hardware backbone, significant pricing power. Because this enormous expansion of cloud platforms is simultaneously driving global electricity consumption to unprecedented heights, nuclear energy is coming into focus as a means of ensuring emission-free baseload power. This is where the Canadian company American Atomics comes in to play at this bottleneck in the AI value chain. By strategically building a vertically integrated North American nuclear fuel supply chain, it is securing the energy supply for future hyperscale data centers. Investors should maintain a well-diversified portfolio!

Use the Pullback in Gold as a Buying Opportunity? 100% Upside with Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, TUI, and Lufthansa
Every day, we are bombarded with headlines about wars, conflicts, and human tragedies—who has the heart to think about vacation right now? Yet it is precisely in moments like these that taking a break can be more valuable than ever. Investors have been navigating a maze of geopolitical uncertainty for years. Yet, the stock markets have so far shown remarkable resilience—because there are always sectors that come into sharp focus during times of crisis. Precious metals like gold and silver have confidently weathered the inflationary spikes following the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical data shows that gold has generated positive real returns during all periods of inflation—averaging about 6.2% per year over the long term, and as high as 8.8% during periods of high inflation. The travel sector, on the other hand, is on an emotional roller coaster. Current conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are leading to declines in bookings, rising energy prices, and uncertainty among both travelers and providers. If an itinerary is too risky, plans must be changed at the last minute. But as soon as the situation eases, catch-up effects follow. What has worked in recent years is back on the agenda: buy when the world seems to be falling apart.
