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.

Are AI and Data Centers Boosting Plug Power and Nel ASA? RE Royalties and Nordex Under the Microscope
Rising oil and gas prices have dominated the stock market landscape in recent months. But now there are signs of a de-escalation in the Middle East. Commodity markets are already pricing in this relief, even though no political solutions have yet been reached. This means a breather for the recent winners and a chance for fresh investor capital to flow into stocks that have not yet seen their run. "Sustainable energy production" is a buzzword, because in wind energy, for example, it is highly controversial whether the widespread destruction and densification of open spaces and forests makes a positive contribution overall—especially now that a costly electricity surplus has emerged, which taxpayers must subsidize due to long-term funding commitments to investors. The production of green hydrogen is even viable at high energy prices, but in the long term, the technology must become at least 50% cheaper. At the center of these developments is RE Royalties with an innovative financing approach that supports energy projects. We delve a little deeper.

Chip Sector High-Flyers in the New Tech Gold Rush – Where to Invest Now? AMD, Infineon, SpaceX, or DRC Gold
The stock market takes no prisoners. Anyone currently invested in the semiconductor sector is on cloud nine and can hardly imagine the trend reversing. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) provides a useful benchmark for assessing the sector's momentum. Since the start of the year, it has risen from around 3,500 points to more than 12,800 points (+265%). This bears a strong resemblance to the gold price rally between 2023 and 2026, when the precious metal surged from USD 1,650 to USD 5,400 (+227%). As always, it is important to keep the broader backdrop in mind. At present, markets are pricing in supply shortages, but should the Iran conflict end, this assessment could quickly lose steam, and market excesses would then need to be corrected. Gold and silver may provide a good example. Following the irrational rally in the first quarter of 2026, both markets have entered a noticeable consolidation phase. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the underlying dynamics and investment opportunities.

A High-Tech Revival and Gold Stock with a 500% Chance! SAP, Oracle, Desert Gold, Deutsche Telekom, and T-Mobile US
The stock markets continue their roller-coaster ride. No wonder, since amid the current, sometimes confusing flood of news, one fact is often overlooked: wars and geopolitical tensions stifle economic growth and unsettle consumers. Although the defence industry is swamped with orders, the rest of the economy is grappling with the consequences of these conflicts: high energy prices, uncertainty, and fragile supply chains. With governments' exploding borrowing needs and falling tax revenues, interest rates are now rising noticeably, which is further fueling inflation. In this environment, gold can thrive; from a purely technical perspective, a solid floor now appears to have been established at USD 4,500. SAP and Oracle have so far lagged behind the major AI and high-tech rally, and Deutsche Telekom has been trading 30% higher, a good reason for a few deeper insights.

NATO Drones 3.0 – The US and Europe Go Full Throttle! Volatus Aerospace Takes the Driver's Seat
The ongoing geopolitical escalation continues to push the defence sector to its limits. The reason is clear: the global security architecture is changing at breakneck speed, as modern conflicts increasingly demonstrate the critical importance of autonomous systems. In the field of unmanned aerial systems, momentum has noticeably accelerated over recent months. Particularly significant is the US Department of Defence's recent invitation to the Phase II qualification round of the multi-billion-dollar "Drone Dominance Program," in which only selected vendors are permitted to compete under real-world operational conditions. The program is viewed within industry circles as a potential starting signal for the next major investment cycle in the Western drone and defence market. Volatus Aerospace is already attracting the attention of forward-looking investors. Should the company also successfully position itself in the US market, it could strategically move into an entirely new league. Further acquisitions are also a realistic possibility.

Defence Stocks in a Race Against Time: Are Rheinmetall, Strategic Resources, CSG, and RENK Still a Buy?
The bull run in defence and military stocks lasted nearly four years. At their peak, some stocks were valued at 10 times revenue, with P/E ratios reaching 100. Currently, however, a shift in thinking is taking place, as the contracting nations are heavily indebted and cannot simply keep increasing their defence budgets after the generous adjustments they have already made. This partly explains the recent dip in the sector's stock prices. Yet the stock market is playing out this theme across multiple channels. Defence stocks benefit in the long term from higher government spending, while commodity markets—particularly for steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and specialty chemicals—must respond to the higher underlying demand. At the same time, fiscal burdens are rising, so capital markets as a whole must distinguish between security-related demand and growing budget risks. The underlying trend is that inflation is rising due to money supply expansion, with necessary interest rate hikes as a further consequence. How should investors reconcile these trends?

AI data centers need nuclear power — 70-100% more energy by 2050! Spotlight on American Atomics, SAP, and ServiceNow
The global economy is in the midst of a new infrastructure supercycle, in which the new source of productivity is being sought in the widespread use of digitalization and AI. The physical foundations of extensive AI use are creating unprecedented demand for system components related to energy generation and storage. Electricity, grids, cooling, and raw materials—the demand seems endless. Yet just a few years ago, climate goals were still a major concern. With the explosive growth in demand from data centers, not only are energy sources like nuclear power coming to the fore, but also critical metals for turbines, cables, storage systems, and chips. Goldman Sachs expects data center electricity demand to more than double by the end of the decade—a scenario that makes CO₂-free baseload power a matter of strategic survival. Although nuclear power plants have been largely dismissed in the EU, they are once again moving to the center of the debate as reliable electricity suppliers and are becoming serious partners for tech companies. A deeper look is worthwhile.

Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen
At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!

150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued
With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

Undervalued – Analysts Turn Their Attention to Life Sciences: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer in Focus
DZ Bank's aggressive price target adjustment for Bayer demonstrates that analysts have recently begun to view the life sciences sector more favourably. The pharmaceutical and agrochemical group's strong start to the year has led to significantly improved prospects, and legal risks are now also viewed as more moderate. Finally, some good news for long-suffering investors in a geopolitically volatile environment. After all, there have not been any major upgrades in the sector for quite some time. When it comes to Novo Nordisk, however, experts remain divided on whether the earnings trend will turn positive again. Cutthroat competition in the weight-loss drug market is intense, putting pressure on margins. Buoyed by industry sentiment, Pfizer also saw its stock rise again. Time for a new tour of the sector. Where are the triggers?

The Market Is Buying Again! Strong Revaluation at Infineon Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Despite major international uncertainties, the technology sector is once again experiencing renewed momentum. While investors are once again eagerly snapping up tech stocks like Infineon Technologies and Advanced Micro Devices, there is growing caution in other sectors. This is hardly surprising, as rising interest rates are making equity investments generally more expensive. Nevertheless, the boom in artificial intelligence, data centers, and power electronics continues unabated, bringing critical raw materials increasingly into the focus of strategic investors. Whether modern semiconductors, high-performance processors, or energy chips, they all require a stable supply of strategic metals such as antimony, copper, or rare earths. Geopolitical tensions, disrupted trade routes, and export restrictions are creating growing supply bottlenecks, increasing pressure across the industry. Exploration and resource companies like Antimony Resources, which focus on metals of high strategic importance, stand to benefit from this. It is worth taking a closer look!
