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.

Critical metals will shape the future: BYD, NIO, Strategic Resources, and VW in the e-mobility race
While Europe is pumping billions into new charging infrastructure and power grids, a brutal, cutthroat competition is beginning to unfold in the global auto market. Volkswagen is fighting to maintain its industrial dominance, while BYD is pushing ever harder into Europe with aggressive pricing and massive vertical integration, and NIO is targeting the premium segment. At the same time, with every additional electric vehicle, the demand for strategic metals is exploding, and their supply chains are coming under increasing geopolitical pressure. This is precisely where Strategic Resources could suddenly come into focus, as Western industries are desperately seeking secure sources of raw materials outside China. The Middle East conflict and oil prices nearing the USD 100 mark are acting as a catalyst for alternative powertrains while simultaneously heightening nervousness in the commodities markets. For investors, this marks the beginning of a phase in which automakers are no longer likely to be the sole winners of the mobility transition, but rather, above all, those companies that have access to the critical metals of the next industrial revolution.

Silver Back at USD 80: Silver Viper Goes on the Offensive; Caution Advised for Siemens Energy, TKMS, and Rheinmetall
The silver market seems electrified, having reclaimed the USD 80 mark. While investors are already betting on the next commodity wave, risks related to supply bottlenecks, geopolitical blockades, and strategic dependencies are intensifying for key industrial metals. This shifts the focus to stocks whose valuations have long since outpaced their fundamentals. Siemens Energy, TKMS, and Rheinmetall are among the names where expectations had become extremely high. Investors looking solely at momentum now easily overlook the fact that even strong stories on the stock market eventually hit their valuation limits. Smaller stocks are faring differently. They were completely overlooked during the upswing, even though they had done their homework. Silver Viper Minerals appears particularly exciting in this environment, as the company holds projects in Mexico that could suddenly unleash a whole new level of economic leverage if precious metal prices continue to rise. So, in the shadow of the general euphoria, a few surprise winners could well emerge in the near future.

One-Two-Three: High-Momentum Stocks in Focus! TeamViewer, RE Royalties, and PayPal Are Taking Off
The situation in the Middle East is now calming down—or is it? Despite lingering doubts, the indices have already started moving higher. Some stocks have even capitalized on the volatile environment, sending their charts soaring on the back of improved outlooks, while others continue to suffer from the uncertainty. Defence, security, and military stocks, in particular, are losing steam in this environment, having profited from the turmoil for months. The markets breathed a noticeable sigh of relief yesterday, but any new report from the region could turn sentiment on its head within minutes. From an economic perspective, this is likely not the end of the crisis for investors, but rather a temporary interlude full of opportunities and risks. Those who look closely now can profit in areas where no one has really wanted to be for months.

The Big Tungsten Question: Shortages – Price Spikes – Nervousness! Almonty Provides Answers
Shortages, price hysteria, jitters—who is keeping their cool in the critical metals market? Almonty has the answer and, for several weeks now, has been a new source for the critical element tungsten. In an environment where geopolitical fires and supply uncertainties keep commodity markets on their toes, and new realities emerge daily, the question of alternative sources for critical metals is gaining traction. The major stock indices are feeling this nervousness, with prices on a rollercoaster ride, but after a pronounced rally over the past 24 months, many assets are no longer cheap. With metal prices having increased tenfold, it is far more difficult for analysts to set fair price targets for producers. An interesting debate is unfolding; experts are sharpening their pencils, and investors are looking at charts that so far point in only one direction: northward. We provide a few facts.

Moving Ahead with Strong Concepts and Easing Tensions in the Middle East! MustGrow, K+S, Evotec, and Novo Nordisk in Focus
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
What a headline: An agreement between the US and Iran – markets up 2% in just one minute! It can happen that fast. For investors, this is welcome news, as a de-escalation in the Iran conflict would significantly ease global supply chains and reduce pressure on critical transport routes. In particular, the Strait of Hormuz would lose some of its significance as a geopolitical risk factor, potentially stabilizing global flows of goods and energy. Easing tensions are also likely to lower transport costs again, shorten delivery times, and dampen price volatility. For companies in the food, healthcare, and agricultural technology sectors, this creates greater planning certainty and new growth opportunities. MustGrow Biologics and K+S could benefit from more stable agricultural markets, while Evotec and Novo Nordisk may gain additional tailwinds in a calmer healthcare environment. Investors are increasingly turning to stocks that promise sustainable growth and reliable returns in a more stable market setting. The key question now: will volatility finally decline as well?

Oil Rally Done, Now Hydrogen Comes with 250%! All Eyes on ITM Power, Zefiro Methane, Plug Power, and Nel ASA
Up and down – Trump rides a political rodeo, creating volatile conditions for investors. Yesterday again, it sounded as if the US involvement might be winding down. But is a real resolution already in sight? Regardless, oil plunged 12% to USD 95, only to climb back to USD 100. After a prolonged back-and-forth between Washington and Tehran, uncertainty about the conflict's future course continues to rise, leaving investors with little clarity. Perhaps it is worth taking a long-term look at the oil sector's peer group or making a fresh push into the alternative energy space. There, Plug Power recently triggered a strong rally. The question now is how competitors ITM Power and Nel ASA are faring in this environment. Then there is also the newcomer Zefiro Methane, which, with its environmentally focused approach to the oil industry, could potentially push its stock into a new league. One thing remains certain: uncertainty dominates the picture.

Strategic Power Trio: How Rheinmetall, Infineon, and Power Metallic Are Shaping the Backbone of the Future of Industry
The global race for critical metals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths has long since moved beyond the realm of harmless market mechanisms; today, it is a matter of strategic buildup. Copper has emerged as the true "common thread" of the energy transition and the AI revolution. As an indispensable component of every high-tech enterprise, from AI chips and complex sensor systems to massive energy grids, copper has become a structural bottleneck. A compulsive, at times painful, marriage prevails: for the Western industrial world is existentially dependent on a smooth supply to maintain technological supremacy. In other words, the industrial fate of the world hangs on the red metal. The vulnerability of these high-tech supply chains is currently being laid bare in all its harshness by the Strait of Hormuz blockade. When restrictive export rules from major producers collide with maritime paralysis, the geopolitical escalation has an immediate impact on the calculations of global goods production. 3 companies, 3 positions—clear hallmarks of a winning team!

IPOs, takeovers, and production! A 500% gain is on the table: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank!
Amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and jittery capital markets, gold is once again shining as a safe haven, attracting investor capital. At the same time, a wave of consolidation is brewing in the highly fragmented European banking sector, with merger speculation surrounding heavyweights like Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank adding extra momentum. Meanwhile, Barrick Mining is injecting fresh momentum into the commodities sector with its North American IPO plans, opening the door to new capital inflows. Things are getting even more exciting at Canada's Desert Gold, where the transition to production could herald the next valuation jump. The parallel nature of these developments creates a rare tension between defensive hedging and aggressive growth potential. Those who think strategically now recognize that the most lucrative entry points often emerge amid global crises.

Things are heating up in the Middle East! Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, RENK, and LPKF Laser in high demand
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East is acting as a catalyst for the already fragile global supply chains and is abruptly pushing critical raw materials into the spotlight of the capital markets. The focus is less on the physical flow of metals through the Strait of Hormuz and more on its role as a bottleneck for approximately 20% of global oil trade, where disruptions immediately drive up energy prices and, consequently, the cost base of industrial production. Even moderate disruptions lead to rising freight rates, higher insurance premiums, and extended delivery times: a toxic mix for industries optimized for just-in-time production. Studies estimate that the risk of a sustained disruption could destabilize trade volumes of up to USD 1.2 trillion annually. In this complex situation, companies that address strategic bottlenecks or are part of the security-relevant value chain stand to benefit the most. Antimony Resources Corp. is emerging as a potential Western supplier of a critical metal, while Rheinmetall and RENK Group are benefiting from rising defence budgets. LPKF Laser & Electronics is addressing the chip market with new ideas. Investors should trust their instincts about what belongs in their portfolio right now.

SpaceX is still a long way off, but gold is within reach: Lahontan Gold Advances Toward Production in Nevada
Geopolitics is about as predictable as the weather in April: one moment, bright sunshine; the next, another storm in the Middle East. It is good when your portfolio is not left out in the rain, but is instead successfully mining in Nevada. Lahontan Gold is living proof that, even as a neighbour in the big leagues, you can shine as an agile developer. After all, the Santa Fe project scores with what is currently worth its weight in gold on the stock market: good management, planning certainty, and a dose of operational grit. For months, the stock chart has shown an almost indecent strength: a record-breaking 2,000% performance that remains unfazed by geopolitical headlines. Elon's SpaceX would have to try hard to match that! So, for those who want to invest not in utopian visions but in tangible development stories, here is a solid gold anchor with plenty of potential for the next valuation jump.
