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.

Gold, drones, and specialty glass! Just like that, 200% gains out of nowhere with DroneShield, AJN Resources, and Gerresheimer
The stock market is showing its volatile side. While AI, defense, and tech stocks are consolidating, gold and silver are skyrocketing. Sector rotation is therefore in full swing at the end of the year. It is time to take a closer look at some notable movements, because every bull and bear market contains the seeds of the next reversal. DroneShield up 1,000% and then down 75%, AJN Resources suddenly up 200% from a standing start, and Gerresheimer, a fallen angel down 60%, a battered member of the German SME sector. We take a closer look at these stocks – where is it worth taking action?

Selling pressure! Bitcoin slumps to USD 50,000? Caution with Strategy, Finexity, D-Wave, and Metaplanet!
Global financial systems are undergoing a period of rapid technological change. Time-critical calculations and enormous computing capacities are increasingly becoming the decisive factor in remaining competitive. When it comes to price discovery on electronic markets, technical connectivity and even the distance to the exchange's servers are now decisive factors in determining the best pricing on the markets. Algorithms can recognize when a large number of investors want to move in the same direction. State-of-the-art computer systems have long been executing trading decisions in fractions of a second, fundamentally changing the dynamics of the markets. At the same time, digital assets, blockchain architectures, and token-based platforms are creating a new ecosystem that is closely linked to these advances. However, an additional challenge is already looming: quantum computers. They pose the risk of making previously trustworthy networks vulnerable. How should investors position themselves?

2, 20, or 200% return in 2026? Interest rates are falling, a golden opportunity for Deutsche Bank, RE Royalties, Lufthansa, and TUI
At the beginning of the week, the mood on the stock markets was still significantly subdued. Many investors saw little chance of an interest rate cut in the US in the near future, but hope springs eternal. On Monday, the DAX briefly slipped below the 23,000-point mark, but this did not trigger any new selling pressure in the short term. On the contrary, a strong counter-movement set in over the following days. The index has now gained more than 700 points and regained its 200-day line. The technical picture is now back on track. Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the US. In addition to giving thanks for a good life, US investors are up a full 16% on their stock investments based on the S&P 500. Overall, 2025 will be a positive year for investors. And because of the US debt problems, the Federal Reserve will certainly put a few more treats under the tree. So the current bubble appears to remain secure!

New tax incentives for e-mobility in 2026 – The spark for BYD, Nio, Graphano Energy, and VW
The German government is planning to reintroduce an electric vehicle subsidy for private individuals. Currently, there are only purchase incentives for companies and tax advantages for purely electric company cars. In its coalition agreement, Berlin has now promised various purchase incentives for electric vehicles. This includes the reintroduction of an e-mobility bonus for private individuals. The government confirmed this plan at the German auto summit in early October. The plan is to support low- and middle-income households in making the transition to the new era of mobility. In addition to funds from the European Climate Social Fund, a further three billion euros will be available for this purpose until the end of 2029. The details of the subsidy have not yet been announced. Meanwhile, business with electric vehicles is still sluggish. Clearly, people are waiting for the new tax breaks. Which stocks are in focus?

Black Friday: DAX explodes, and biotech is back in vogue: Watch out for 100% gains at Bayer, Vidac Pharma, and Novo Nordisk
The stock market has managed to break out of its consolidation phase, and the upward trend is continuing toward the end of the year. There are signs of hope for the Leverkusen-based pharmaceutical company Bayer, and Vidac Pharma is moving into the primary segment of the Düsseldorf over-the-counter market. The well-known Novo Nordisk, whose share price has been destroyed, is experiencing its fourth sell-off in three months. Some analysts are now turning positive. Investors should now be aware that prices in the biotech sector have fallen so low that even minor news items are enough to cause prices to skyrocket. Especially during the year-end portfolio adjustments, prices often reach absurd levels. We help you navigate the thicket of valuations.

Black Week sales, Bitcoin flop, DAX steady – another interest rate cut? Almonty, Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
And up it goes again! It is the season of rising prices. After the widely expected autumn correction turned out to be very mild, many investors believe: That is it! True to the motto "Buy every dip!", they are piling back into the order books. Too few shares are available, so should investors continue buying at high prices? Caution is advised with some stocks. The euphoria surrounding the IPO of thyssenkrupp's marine subsidiary TKMS has completely evaporated, and investors in Düsseldorf-based defense group Rheinmetall are taking profits on a larger scale for the first time. After all, if the war in Ukraine ends, the rearmament cycle could slow down. We will guide you through the Advent bargain hunt!

Prices down on Black Friday? SAP and Palantir consolidate, UMT with a strong concept, Deutsche Telekom still cheap!
Nervousness is mounting - as seen in volatility indices, which have risen from 15 to just over 20. As is so often the case in the fall, uncertain forecasts for economic development are causing considerable fluctuations in the stock markets. This is because much remains unclear. Will Trump's tariffs have a positive effect on the US economy, or will courts roll everything back to its original state? How will the situation in Ukraine evolve? Will Germany manage the economic and societal turnaround? These are all reasons why it makes sense to start the new year with fewer stocks. Because, as always, January means back to square one – and a new game! We offer some tips for portfolio optimization.

AI, Bitcoin, and e-mobility in the eye of the storm! Opportunities at BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and Strategy
It is not just the stock markets that are running at full throttle! On days when Nvidia reports its quarterly figures, investors' nerves are on edge, and global power infrastructures are pushed to their limits. That is because the whole world is watching the pioneer of AI infrastructure, which briefly crossed the USD 5 trillion valuation mark in October before slipping back toward USD 4.5 trillion. Since then, trading in AI-related stocks on the NASDAQ has been dominated by profit-taking. The one-way rally appears to be losing momentum, but then again, it has been around for three years now. Amid this consolidation, three stocks in AI, battery materials, and e-mobility are offering attractive entry points. Read on to discover where new opportunities may emerge.

Exploding commodity prices meet NASDAQ hysteria! Nordex, European Lithium, Siemens Energy, and Standard Lithium in focus
Metals, hi-tech, and defense - an explosive mix! All three of these industrial sectors are facing serious challenges. The scarcity of critical raw materials from a limited number of sources is leading to sharp price increases and jeopardizing important supply chains. Europe is responding with a collective rethink, as dependence on rare metals such as lithium and rare earths is increasingly becoming a strategic and political risk. A disruption in supply could abruptly halt the market penetration of electric vehicles. The recent extreme rise in raw material prices is driving companies such as European Lithium and Standard Lithium through the roof, while buyers of critical metals such as Nordex and Siemens Energy are finding themselves in difficulty. We shed some light on the situation!

AI mania, critical metals, and gold! Keep an eye on blockbuster stocks such as BASF, RZOLV Technologies, and Barrick Mining
The breathtaking advances in high-tech and artificial intelligence require a strong focus on raw materials companies in order to provide the necessary strategic metals in a timely manner. Securing supply chains is all the more important for Western industries because the availability of raw materials is subject to geopolitical skirmishes between some countries that still control the decisive masses in critical areas. This is particularly true for China and Russia. If nothing arrives in the West, production lines come to a standstill or company managers have to accept expensive detours. For equity investors, it is always worthwhile to take a clear look at the key levers. However, the focus is also on the manufacturing processes.
