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.

E-mobility and hydrogen: BYD, Almonty Industries, Thyssen, Nel ASA - Things are really starting to happen now!
In the current geopolitical constellation, the globalized world is showing its real weaknesses. For commodity-dependent Europe and especially Germany, the situation even presents itself as a medium-term showstopper for industry because as winter approaches, governments will have to decide where the remaining gas reserves may be drawn from. But if there is not enough, the decision will likely be made in the direction of the population, and the industry will then have to look for alternatives. Despite the cost of electricity, e-mobility seems to be finding its way, and hydrogen is also slowly getting off the ground. What does this mean for individual stocks?

Shares in focus: VW, Porsche, Barsele Minerals - Big shifts, many opportunities!
At the moment, shares are becoming cheaper rather than more expensive. What is unusual is not the fact that prices are falling, what is disturbing is the phase of falling valuations that has now been going on for some time. In the current environment of rising capital market interest rates, refinancing is also becoming more difficult for companies, and it now has its price again. Volkswagen AG from Wolfsburg owns many stakes in valuable automotive brands. In order not to let the debt increase further, parts of the holdings are now being placed on the stock exchange. Not a bad way to fill the coffers again. What should investors look out for now?

Higher, faster, further: BYD, Infinity Stone, Porsche, Varta - The energy transition stock portfolio is wanted!
The words "energy turnaround" are used a lot in public. The majority understand it to mean the use of GreenTech to generate energy while avoiding dangerous climate gases. Unfortunately, the leaks from the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is not in operation, are leaking the amount of gas into the atmosphere every day that the state of Denmark consumes in an entire week. This makes us painfully aware of how strongly warlike actions counteract efforts to save the climate. On the stock market, it is important to turn our gaze away from current events and toward a more peaceful future, where good ideas for sustainable change will also be rewarded. Which stocks belong in the portfolio?

Energy for the stock market! Siemens Energy, TubeSolar, Nel ASA, Plug Power - Green innovations are needed now!
Many innovative companies are working on sustainable solutions to reduce the colossal dependence on fossil fuels, sometimes with success and sometimes with less noteworthiness. For investors, it is important to note that most of the ideas have German engineering behind them, a testament to our high-performing education and training system. Some very creative start-ups go public quickly and boldly to refinance themselves. Other large companies are already long-listed and now have to watch their formerly lush valuations melt away in the sun. The selection of portfolio stocks is important, so it is always advisable to mix standard stocks with hopeful ones, which lowers the risks. We make a selection.

Favorable entries at Kion, Defense Metals, Nordex: The GreenTech rally is coming back soon!
The daily analysis of stock market movements may not be an absolute joy for many investors at the moment. Nevertheless, in addition to numerous burdens, there are also bright spots. The warehouse logistics expert Kion is a long-term growth stock available now at 80% below its high. At rare earth explorer Defense Metals, initial drilling is delivering good results. GreenTech stocks JinkoSolar and Nordex should benefit from the boom in alternative energy generation for many years to come. As the saying goes, "Buy when the guns are roaring!" - they have been doing that for seven months now. Is the next rally already lurking around the corner?

The green wave keeps rolling! Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Alpha Copper, Plug Power - Copper now at 7,800!
Not enough copper is being mined! Despite this, the price has recently corrected by about 25%. It is mainly due to the worse economic expectations for the coming years. The orders are therefore falling, and the price is also falling slightly. However, the warehouses, due to many strong basic trends such as electromobility, will soon ensure that there will be a renewed shortage. These recurring economic trends, the increasingly difficult supply chain issue and the now high-interest rates are causing high planning uncertainty. Ultimately, they also weigh on mine output locally. We look at the opportunities and risks of the green wave!

Uniper and Kion in shock, partial mobilization at BASF and Meta Materials
For the first time in recent history, an announced appearance by Putin did not take place. In the morning yesterday, the news finally rang out that Russia had been so afraid of for the past few weeks: Putin announced partial mobilization. It likely involves an additional 300,000 troops who will now go into mobilization. News about the war apparently only impacts the stock market if it also conceals economic news, because the market rose despite expected escalations. However, the consensus now seems to be that a sharp slowdown in economic growth is expected worldwide. Currently, many stocks are adjusting to a new view: interest rates are back, so capitalization models are recalculating, especially for growth stocks. Where should attention be paid now?

German economy is in danger of crashing: E.ON, Globex Mining, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in focus
Germany's free-market decline continues vehemently. After using about 40% of imported gas for electricity in recent years, local utilities now lack real alternatives. Prices are rising dramatically, and gas, in particular, seems to know only one direction - up! The dependence on energy imports and the intended sanctioning is becoming a price driver for local utilities, electricity production and thus the entire economy. As yet, there is little evidence of the benefits of the said climate change; so far, only the cost increases are noticeable. Shareholders should be alert to which areas could soon be affected.

Fighting Cancer: BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, MorphoSys - Which biotech stock is ahead in Biden's Moonshot?
Since the original launch of the Cancer Moonshot in 2016, the US cancer community has made measurable progress toward three ambitious goals. Namely, accelerating the scientific discovery of cancer, fostering greater collaboration, and improving cancer data sharing. In early 2022, President Biden announced a relaunch of the Cancer Moonshot and named new goals: To cut the cancer death rate in half within 25 years and significantly improve the lives of people with cancer. The initiative is just getting a new lease on life in the United States. Some biotech shares could make significant gains in this environment.

Up and away! Lufthansa, TUI, Viva Gold, Aston Martin - Turnaround stocks take off!
The warlike activities in Ukraine now seem to be entering a critical phase. It appears that the resistance forces have been able to wrest important sections of land from the Russian aggressor. While we should not dream of a quick end to the war, a spark of hope remains. With inflation data remaining high, investors are predominantly looking for stability. Wildly fluctuating stock and crypto prices have become daily companions, and even real estate markets are no longer immune to corrections in the face of rising interest rates and skyrocketing construction costs. Thus, the focus is on stocks that have already endured a long period of suffering.
