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 SpaceX Frenzy and the Urge to Travel! Caution on Lufthansa, TUI, Zefiro Methane, Shell, and BP
The SpaceX frenzy continues. With an anticipated initial valuation approaching USD 2 trillion, Elon Musk is launching what could become the largest IPO since Saudi Aramco's debut in 2019. Back then, the Saudi oil giant raised nearly USD 30 billion. Musk is now targeting an astonishing USD 75 billion. At the proposed valuation, his 42% stake would make him the world's first trillionaire. The moment of truth will come in the next few days. As the FIFA World Cup kicks off, investors may briefly have to take their eyes off the pitch to avoid missing the first trading quotes. Whether Elon Musk can successfully bring SpaceX—with crown jewels such as Starlink, xAI, and its space operations—to the NASDAQ remains to be seen. One thing is certain: volatility is already elevated, and markets are highly nervous ahead of the listing. But SpaceX is not the only story in town. Following initial signs of de-escalation in the Gulf, investors are once again turning their attention to oil stocks, while travel and tourism shares are also moving back into focus. These are interesting times for flexible investors.

7.5% NASDAQ Weekly Correction: Infineon, AMD, HPQ Silicon, and Siemens Energy in the Spotlight
After 14 months of the NASDAQ's steep rise of over 100%, investors celebrated the new era of AI data centers and the associated chip boom. Adding to the general euphoria was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which sent prices skyrocketing, particularly in the high-tech sector. As a result, CPU manufacturer AMD now expects to double its revenue by 2028, with EBIT projected to triple. Apparently, the bulls believe these new scarcity-driven prices will persist into the near future. However, since commodity and energy prices are currently trending downward, production costs are likely to fall again in the long run. This would make price competition more likely than a continuation of the unusual hype. Cautious investors are therefore hitting the brakes on well-performing stocks like Infineon, AMD, and Siemens Energy in favour of less highly valued sectors. Here are a few facts about the sector.

Will NASDAQ Shockwave Burst AI Bubble? Major Movements at Nel ASA, Oklo, dynaCERT, SpaceX, and ITM Power
It has finally happened—a 7.5% drop on the tech exchanges in just three trading days. Yet, only last Tuesday, the NASDAQ 100 index had reached a new all-time high of 30,730 points. In a sudden realization, market participants understood that the central bank's next move will be a "rate hike." After all, the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, makes no secret that inflation near 4% is a disaster for the US dollar and economic stability. Although Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted in the media at an interest rate cut, the central bank governors—including former Fed Chair Jerome Powell—are unanimously leaning toward hikes to curb high inflation. In addition to economically measurable inflation, voices are growing louder that excessive price increases on Wall Street paint a picture of the economy that does not align with reality. The daily gains of billions in stock market wealth, combined with the extreme increases in long positions, harbour the potential for disappointment in the near future. Whether the initial spark of a correction was set in motion last week must therefore be closely analyzed.

300% Gain On The Horizon For High-Flyers: Marvell Technology, SpaceX, Super Micro Computer, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
For weeks now, the stock market carousel has been revolving around the same sector: technology! Boring? Not really, because in addition to the staggering gains in the market favourites, there are always interesting follow-on stocks and IPOs that investors should keep an eye on. In about 8 days, Elon Musk's SpaceX will go public. Then the "MAG7" label will likely no longer fit, because market experts expect valuations of around USD 2 trillion from day one. The next superlative would then be reached, making visionary and charismatic founder Musk the first trillionaire on this planet. Given the speed at which this is happening, some may feel dizzy. For those staying on board, it is time to buckle up, close your eyes, and go for it! Our selected stocks—Marvell, Super Micro Computer, and Antimony Resources—offer a healthy mix of growth and critical shortages—a solid selection for a hot summer.

AI and Quantum Wonders Keep Happening: TeamViewer, SAP, and Aspermont Soaring, Palantir Sidelined
Quantum technology is considered one of the most significant waves of innovation of the 21st century and could completely turn entire industries upside down. At the same time, this same technological progress poses significant risks to digital security, as powerful quantum computers could one day overcome established encryption methods. Software and hardware companies are equally challenged. But while the tech titans from Silicon Valley are securing the physical and digital foundation of the AI economy, the valuation fantasies of individual high-flyers like Palantir are coming under increasing pressure from reality following a sharp correction. At least established software companies like SAP and TeamViewer are stabilizing in their new roles as AI integration and automation providers for businesses. Away from the mainstream, Aspermont is taking a radically different approach: there, data is not merely processed but transformed into an actual commodity within a raw materials-driven market environment. In the future, whoever controls access to relevant information will no longer decide merely on competitive advantages—but on market positions themselves.

Critical Metals Riding the Wave of Industrial Demand! NASDAQ Hits 30,000, and Almonty Gears Up for the Russell 1,000
Another milestone for Almonty Industries CEO Lewis Black. While the tech rally is pushing the NASDAQ 100 index above 30,000, the tungsten manufacturer is being added to the Russell 1000 Index following the June expiration, based on revenue and valuation criteria. This also entails membership in the somewhat broader Russell 3000 Index, as shown in the FTSE Russell list. This has far-reaching implications! Index-based ETFs must adjust their asset weightings in line with the indices they track within a specified timeframe. For Almonty stock, which has not been represented there until now, this means additional demand from institutional investors - as if the buzz surrounding the only relevant publicly traded tungsten stock were not already big enough. So the party is likely to keep going strong!

NATO's Strategic Alliance: Drone Technology for Canada and Ukraine – Volatus Aerospace Strengthens Its Strategic Position
The war in Ukraine is currently demonstrating with great clarity that traditional camouflage and deception strategies are increasingly reaching their limits when faced with AI-powered drone systems. While Russia attempts to confuse algorithmic target acquisition with "zebra" patterns on supply vehicles, modern neural networks learn to classify these signatures as clear target markers in a very short time. At this point, it becomes clear that technological escalation is driving a massive increase in global demand for integrated drone and counter-UAS systems and shifting defence architecture toward autonomous real-time intelligence. According to NATO analyses, global budgets for unmanned systems have been growing at double-digit rates since 2024, as traditional platforms are increasingly supplemented by networked, software-driven reconnaissance and attack systems. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace, as an integrated provider of drone operations, AI-powered analysis, and training infrastructure, is increasingly coming into the focus of institutional investors. In addition, CAD 30 million was quickly raised. The investment rotation is now beginning.

IPO Instead of Power Outages? Energy Stocks Like Siemens Energy, A.H.T. Syngas, OHB, and SpaceX Are Taking Off
Germany remains one of the most reliable countries in Europe when it comes to electricity supply; in 2024, the average outage duration was 11.7 minutes per end user. This shows that, on average, power outages in Germany are rare and usually brief, even though there are regional differences. For investors, everything has revolved around availability and efficiency in the energy sector since the massive increase in electricity consumption driven by AI data centers. This is where companies like Siemens Energy come into focus, as the modernization of energy infrastructure and the growing complexity of the power grid require significant expertise. In addition to the Munich-based company, A.H.T. Syngas also has innovative concepts to excel in an energy-policy-driven environment. Those looking for high-energy systems might also be interested in further developments at OHB and SpaceX. Is this rally still on solid ground?

Software Stocks Are Dominating the AI Cycle: SAP, ServiceNow, Oracle, and Globex Mining Are in Higher Demand Than Ever!
Just one month ago, software stocks were in the midst of a sell-off. SAP hit a low of EUR 135, Oracle also hit USD 135 in April, and ServiceNow did not stop until USD 81, after the stock had traded above USD 230. All irrational? It could be, because the market recognizes that the "established players in the sector," unlike pure-play AI companies, possess the critical data infrastructure. With this foundation, generative and "agentic AI" can be integrated into real business processes, thereby generating recurring revenue. Analysts now view these software stocks as "winners of the next AI phase" because they combine scalable AI solutions with established customer relationships, offering both short-term cash flows and long-term growth potential. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.

Stock Market Rotation Beyond AI: Opportunities in MustGrow, Bayer, and Novo Nordisk; Caution with K+S
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
A shift in perspective remains the order of the day. Yesterday, the ECB met to discuss the current situation regarding inflation and interest rates. With an inflation rate of over 3% in Europe, there is likely no room for downward interest rate adjustments—quite the opposite! The 10-year yield on German government bonds has settled near the 3% mark over the past four weeks, while in the US, the 30-year yield is already above 5%. In the past, these were warning signs for a currently well-valued NASDAQ, as the so-called trailing P/E ratio has soared from 28 to 36. Growth companies, mostly financed through equity, thrive on tech euphoria, whereas capital-intensive industries, such as the life sciences sector, face a different situation. For example, Bayer and Novo Nordisk do not require market financing, as they hold large cash reserves. In the case of K+S, the ability to pass on prices to end customers could lead to rising cash flows, while the Canadian company MustGrow has only recently raised funds and is steadily continuing its rollout in the US. Mid-term investors should focus on sector rotation when tech momentum fades. The chances of a revival in neglected sectors look strong!
