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.

Cloud AI Blockbuster: Whoever Has the Data Rules the World! 100% with SAP, ServiceNow, Aspermont, Deutsche Telekom and SpaceX
In, out, up, down! That is exactly what the current roller-coaster ride on the NASDAQ feels like. While in recent weeks it was the dream gains in chip stocks that drove investor excitement, this week German defense stocks sit atop the winners' list. The correction in the cloud providers is also slowly coming to an end, or at least SAP and ServiceNow are showing first signs of life at low levels. Deutsche Telekom has likewise been run over. Elon Musk plans to push into the telco world with his SpaceX Starlink division. That is providing industry with worry lines and weighing on the titans of mobile communications. And then there is Australia's Aspermont, an AI-driven data marketer and investor-services provider from the commodities sector. Completely transformed from a traditional publishing house into an aggressively growing partner to the mining industry. It is worth taking a closer look.

Crash? No Thanks: The Auto Sector Ahead of a Turnaround! 133% with BYD, VW, North Arrow Minerals and BMW
In recent months, hardly any other sector on the stock market has managed to become as unpopular as the automotive sector. Margin battles and restructurings, including mass layoffs, are making the rounds across Europe. This downward trend stems primarily from structural overcapacity and mistimed ramp-up of electromobility. Now the German kings of the combustion engine are facing the aggressive market entry of state-subsidized Chinese competitors. European manufacturers, in particular, are thus caught in a fatal pincer crisis of falling sales and rising investment costs. Analysts therefore predominantly rate the traditional business models of the OEMs as risky and are lowering their future expectations. Institutional investors are abruptly shifting their portfolios into less cyclical, higher-margin growth sectors. The result: the broad European auto index lost around 12% over the last 12 months, with individual manufacturers down as much as 17 to 37%. Is there still hope for the titans on 4 wheels?

Rebound and Straight Back Up: Rheinmetall, Renk, Antimony Resources, TKMS, and Hensoldt
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock-market carousel keeps turning. While defense stocks were still on the hit list over the past 5 months, an impressive rebound is now underway. Rheinmetall experienced an outright sellout after a large frigate order was awarded to TKMS. Across the sector, the stocks had to absorb discounts of up to 50% after having risen to hype status in the years 2024 to 2025. Another stock caused a stir yesterday: Antimony Resources! After a 90-day consolidation of nearly 70%, new drill results came in. And lo and behold: not only does antimony lie dormant in the ground, but also plenty of gold. Good for anyone who bought in here over the past few weeks. All four stocks on our list still have some catch-up potential in the tank; we analyze why.

Oil on Sale, Gas and Hydrogen in Vogue! Nel ASA, Pure One, Plug Power, and Shell in the Spotlight
A Fragile Ceasefire! Tensions between the US and Iran remain high, even though the recent de-escalation has provided short-term relief for the oil markets. There is no sign of a robust peace agreement; rather, the situation remains characterized by a fragile political framework, military incidents, and diplomatic feelers. This is particularly relevant for the oil market because the Strait of Hormuz, as a key transport route, remains a geopolitical risk factor. Accordingly, Brent reacts sensitively to any new news from the region. After falling to around USD 72 per barrel, it could rebound at any time. Investment banks are now significantly scaling back their short-term price targets of up to USD 150 set in April, but remain cautious overall for 2026. Depending on the firm, forecasts for Brent now range from USD 70 to USD 85 per barrel, with geopolitical risks, OPEC policy, and the development of the global economy remaining key influencing factors. For investors, this means that oil prices are currently more of a tactical positioning matter and are unsuitable as a long-term investment. It is therefore worth taking a critical look at viable alternatives in the energy sector. But let's get one thing out of the way first: high volatility is here to stay!

Iran Conflict 2.0 – Will Oil Surpass USD 100 Again? Position Yourself Now in BP, OMV, Zefiro Methane, and Repsol
A dangerous silence reigns in the Gulf. This is because there is no comprehensive peace agreement between the US and Iran, but rather a preliminary framework agreement (MOU) signed in mid-June. This agreement provides for the reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and a mutual ceasefire, but it is being tested by sporadic military skirmishes, including those that occurred last weekend. Nevertheless, both sides are striving for diplomacy, with planned follow-up meetings in the mediating nation of Qatar intended to stabilize the situation, even though Tehran currently denies direct negotiations with Washington. Oil prices have dropped significantly to USD 72 as a result of the de-escalation, but Brent crude was already hovering around USD 75 again yesterday. For German consumers, yesterday was also the last day of the gas tax rebate. And who would expect anything else? Prices had already jumped by exactly 17% in the run-up to the deadline. Life punishes those who are late—at the gas station just as much as on the stock market.

Here We Go: A Breakthrough for Bayer, Buy Signals for MustGrow and Kraft Heinz
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
According to United Nations projections, the world's population is expected to grow to around 9.7 billion people by 2050. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that this growth can only be managed with significantly more productive and, at the same time, more sustainable farming methods. This is where MustGrow Biologics comes in with biological crop solutions based on natural mustard extracts. And the company's growth story is only just beginning. The sector is gaining short-term momentum now that Bayer has finally received a positive ruling from the US Supreme Court regarding glyphosate. This should allow the Leverkusen-based company's Crop Science division to really take off. At the same time, a powerful structural trend is reshaping the entire agricultural value chain. Natural resources and food must be produced more sustainably and with greater resilience to meet the nutritional needs of a rapidly growing global population. Companies such as Kraft Heinz are responding by leveraging decades of expertise in building resilient agricultural supply chains and climate-adaptive farming systems. These are exciting developments in a sector that is often overlooked in the shadow of high-tech and defence. But the technological trends have long since shifted!

High-tech bubble bursting during the World Cup? Consult AI or buy gold! Lahontan Gold eyes near-term Nevada production
These are tough times for investors. Trends that have persisted for months are starting to shift. No wonder—when in history have investors been able to earn a whopping triple-digit return in such a short time? AI-driven speculation makes it possible. Interestingly, when you ask these very systems, they themselves currently point to a high probability of an impending market correction. Venturing off the beaten path, precious metals investors are moving toward buybacks, as this sector has already seen sharp corrections of 30 to 70% since January's historic highs. Sentiment is beginning to stabilize, and initial technical indicators look promising. Anyone looking for a production-ready gold company—and who has no issue with Nevada, the birthplace of over 8,000 metric tonnes of the yellow metal—should take a closer look at Lahontan Gold and its Santa Fe project. Here are the details…

AI and M&A Frenzy in the Life Sciences Sector: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Novo Nordisk, Evotec, and Eli Lilly
Yes, you read that correctly. Pharmaceutical companies are actively embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and, thanks to lower costs, better validation, and faster study setups, could emerge as winners of the new AI wave in the medium term. Many stocks in the life sciences sector had been overlooked by the market, but investors are now taking notice again. Eli Lilly is betting on AI and expanding its portfolio through targeted acquisitions, including the takeovers of sleep-wake specialist Centessa Pharmaceuticals and blood cancer specialist Ajax. At Evotec and Vidac Pharma, much of the focus is on cancer, while Novo Nordisk faces stiff competition from Eli Lilly's weight-loss drugs. Then came the welcome news regarding Bayer. The Supreme Court ruled that approximately 181,000 individual lawsuits alleging a lack of warning labels on packaging are no longer legally viable, as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified the herbicide glyphosate as safe. Lots of good news, and plenty of opportunities for active investors - we provide a few insights.

Gold, Defense, Aerospace: Sector Rotation in Full Swing – SpaceX, OHB, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and TKMS
Stock markets remain surprisingly resilient as the end of June approaches, but the glossy surface is starting to fade in certain segments. The bull market in aerospace is losing steam, and in the defense sector, after many months of gains, profit-taking is now becoming noticeable. As a result, valuations are gradually re-aligning with fundamentals. For rational investors, market hype is difficult to reconcile with, but one thing remains clear: stocks that become excessively overvalued tend to correct sharply when expectations are pushed to extreme levels without sufficient justification. Just as with Elon Musk's inflated initial valuation, the exit bell has likely rung quite loudly for Rheinmetall as well. In the fall, analysts had been outbidding each other with price targets around EUR 2,200; now they are painfully backtracking. Price declines of 20% in just a few trading hours for the defence sector star, and a 30% drop from its peak for SpaceX. But there are other hot candidates worth a closer look. OHB is drawing attention following a significant capital increase, while TKMS has secured a major naval contract. These developments are actively reshaping market dynamics—we break down what it means in detail.

Battery Boom 3.0: The Future Is 100% Electric! VW, BYD, Stellantis, and HPQ Silicon at the Eye of the Storm
Things are a bit bumpy on the stock market right now. While the high-tech sector is now showing clear signs of slowing down, chip stocks—led by Micron and AMD—are really stepping on the gas again. At the heart of this are massive investments in data centers and new AI infrastructure. This is putting the spotlight on companies whose innovative ideas have the potential to disrupt an entire sector. One example is HPQ Silicon, which addresses several critical areas for future energy and industrial value creation. For VW, BYD, and Stellantis, too, the focus has long since shifted from mere market share to dominance in the global battery race. For the automotive industry, the challenges of the moment could not be greater. After all, they need reliable access to raw materials and strong end markets. Ultimately, however, success is determined by the often fickle consumer. Investors, too, have always been highly selective in their choices. We reveal a few criteria for separating the winners from the rest.
