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.

DAX in the Easter rally! Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel, Thyssenkrupp - Buy hydrogen selectively
The 3 Cs are currently doing the rounds: conflict, crisis and climate change. We cannot influence the war, but there seem to be many vested interests that can exploit the geopolitical uncertainty for their own benefit. With Credit Suisse, the potential crisis took shape again for the first time since 2008, but it has been averted for the time being. Then there is climate change, which we do feel from time to time. It is not only through the actions of the Last Generation that many measures have been taken, and more are being taken every day. In the discussion on sustainable energy production, there is a lot of confidence in hydrogen that the industrial breakthrough is imminent. What values should investors keep their eyes on?

Blackout in Germany! Siemens Energy, Myriad Uranium, Rheinmetall - We are shutting down the reactors!
Only three more weeks until the final shutdown of the last 3 nuclear reactors in the Federal Republic of Germany. How nice that we can rely on supplies from France, Belgium and the Czech Republic to meet our electricity needs in the future. The traffic light coalition in Berlin obviously believes that this is a service to the German citizens. Wrongly thought: both on the cost side of energy purchasing and on the safety side, the elected politicians are once again doing us a disservice. The bottom line is that electricity prices will continue to rise, the implementation of e-mobility will become increasingly questionable, and the security situation at the borders of our republic will become more and more precarious because we should not be fooled into thinking that a Czech reactor poses fewer risks than the Isar 2 nuclear power plant in Ohu. How can the equity investor still profit?

Triple AAA is in demand in the crisis - Amazon, Aspermont and Alibaba keep their promises!
The DAX rises and rises and rises. At 15,742 points, a new high for the year was reached again yesterday, and the all-time high at around 16,290 points now also appears within reach. The strong rise in interest rates of recent months has slowed down somewhat, as inflation rates are no longer in double digits. However, it is questionable whether the next bull market on the NASDAQ is imminent since the FED recently indicated that it was not yet thinking about interest rate cuts. The so-called "dot plots" of the central bank members, however, speak a different language. We look at some classic growth stocks that are now returning to focus.

Watch out for these Greentech and battery stocks: Varta, Manuka Resources and BASF in turnaround
Tesla is currently considering building its own battery factory in the US. The Company wants to operate the plant itself, and the battery giant CATL is to contribute the latest technology. For Tesla, the Texas location would be a welcome addition to its assembly plant for electric vehicles. After the decision to phase out internal combustion vehicles in the EU from 2035, international pressure remains high to finally initiate climate change. E-mobility is seen as a pathfinder. Innovations are needed in the battery sector because the performance parameters are not yet convincing. However, there are many profitable conspicuous features for shareholders in the round trip through the industry.

Copper massively missing - what to do? Nordex, Orestone Mining, JinkoSolar - Greentech shares in the focus of investors
The energy transition in Europe can only work if critical metals such as copper, lithium or nickel remain available. For an almost complete electrification of road traffic from 2035 onwards, quantities of copper 3 to 7 times the current consumption are required. At present, however, hardly any new mines are coming on stream. It will therefore be exciting to see which copper source the EU will soon tap in order to supply industrial sites with the coveted metal. So the EU Council of Experts should urgently look for a few mining consultants and have the current decisions verified by the Fairy Tale Department. How do we manage it after all?

Switch now: Volkswagen, Meta Materials, Varta - Get out of banking and invest in climate change!
The banks are sputtering again. The somewhat more mature investors can well remember the horror year 2008 when the spectacular collapse of the small investment bank Bear Stearns occurred in the first half of the year. In May 2008, JPMorgan Chase had to take over the ailing institution in a night and fog operation. But that was just a preliminary flurry of activity. Lehman Brothers finally delivered the huge bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. That was the financial crisis's historical beginning, which only ended 7 years later. Now they are back, the troubled banks and the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS. What is next? That is the big question! After Corona and the Ukraine war, a recession combined with a banking crisis could be heading our way.

A new banking crisis in 2023? Deutsche Bank, Blackrock Silver, Commerzbank - Gold and Silver are back!
Central bankers are currently in a huge dilemma. They should fight the price pressure with a tough interest rate policy and gradual withdrawal of liquidity. However, this increases the existing risk of recession and the danger of a new financial crisis worldwide. In fact, past interest rate restrictions have already left grinding marks in the US banking system because gigantic write-downs on price losses still lie dormant in the books of institutions that had believed in eternally low interest rates. After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the forced takeover of Credit Suisse, uncertainty has again taken a stranglehold on the markets. Gold and silver reacted with a giant leap. We look at the current situation.

Goodbye banks - the Greentech rally is on: Shares of BYD, Canadian North, Mercedes Group and BMW are in focus!
Blunt, clear text - that is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had promised, in case governments still did not get it. The latest "State of the World Report" is clear. Hesitation is a thing of the past. The message: action is needed now and must be taken worldwide. This is the conclusion of the so-called synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was presented yesterday in Interlaken, Switzerland. Leading scientists have spent the past week wrestling with more than 650 government representatives to lay things out as transparently as possible. The conclusion is quickly formulated: Full throttle for the Greentech industry!

The big battery question of 2023: BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - Who is the fastest?
In recent months it has become clear to investors that the global economy will have to contend with sharp price increases after the pandemic. The greatest inflationary pressure comes from scarce raw materials, especially for high-tech industrial goods. That is because the trend toward climate protection is forcing the industry to make its manufacturing processes more resource-efficient. As a result, this requires major investment in new energy plants and storage systems. Electromobility is still the smaller problem here because how will humanity secure green energy supplies around the globe? The energy hunger of the emerging nations already exceeds the new demand in the industrialized nations by a factor of six. Sophisticated ideas are needed!

Bayer, BioNxt, BioNTech - Biotech is on the rise again, bring on the blockbusters!
The time of the vaccine producers is over because the willingness to vaccinate is declining worldwide. As a result, the entire biotech sector has entered a strong correction phase since the pandemic mode for COVID-19 ended. In the process, sector leader BioNTech suffered a loss of over 70% from its high. Complicating matters for companies is the significant increase in interest rates for long-term financing of their pipelines. When refinancing costs rise, this often leads to lower valuations. However, some companies are impressing with their innovations and have recently shown significant outperformance to the market. We evaluate the opportunities of some well-known biotech protagonists!
