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.

War, destruction, and the next oil crisis? RE Royalties' financing model as a driver of green infrastructure inspires
The global restructuring of energy supply is no longer a vision, but an economic and social necessity. Rising demand for electricity due to digitalization, electromobility, and AI infrastructure is meeting ambitious climate targets. In particular, there is enormous pressure to reduce emissions sustainably. This is precisely where it will be decided whether sufficient capital will flow into clean technologies quickly, efficiently, and scalably. Sustainable financing programs are therefore not a "nice-to-have," but a key lever for security of supply, competitiveness, and climate protection. The company RE Royalties exemplifies how capital markets and climate protection can work hand in hand. What is more, investors can reap high returns while keeping their conscience clear!

Oil and gas: The new gold? Things are heating up at Shell, BP, Pure One, and Oklo
After a long dry spell for oil, it took a war to bring the necessity of fossil fuels back into focus. But let's not get carried away. The world markets are flooded with oil, and the US and Canada have built up so much capacity over the last 20 years that Iran's 4 million barrels of production can easily be offset. "There's plenty of oil" was the response to the repeated peak oil statements following the work of geologist Marion King Hubbert in 1949. Reserves were supposed to be depleted by 2000, but things turned out differently. Today, researchers estimate reserves to last well over 200 years, making it worthwhile for investors to look at oil stocks. There are many alternatives, including those from Pure Hydrogen and Oklo. The Iran crisis presents another opportunity to restructure portfolios.

High volatility, electrifying opportunities! Stellantis, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield on the move
A drop of 1,000 points in the DAX, now that is quite something. It is not surprising that some stocks are no longer stable, but it also shows the relative stability compared to larger volatility swings. Experts refer to this relative market risk as the beta factor. The lower this value, the more stable the stock. In a vulnerable environment of geopolitical upheaval, the impact of operational announcements is also noteworthy. Stellantis, for example, took a 25% hit on less-than-good news of a restructuring, while DroneShield is seeing strong gains due to a collaboration with the Australian Department of Defense. NEO Battery Materials is making steady progress in measurable and scalable ways, and capacities are now being adjusted to handle potential defense orders in the medium term. Extremely exciting!

New EU standards aim to secure the future of e-mobility! BYD, Nio, Group Eleven Resources, and VW
With the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the European Union has been creating binding minimum standards for publicly accessible charging points since the beginning of 2026. In addition, new subsidies have been introduced in many EU countries to promote e-mobility, even though the coffers are empty due to high defense spending. Meanwhile, the overall European vehicle market came under noticeable pressure in January. According to the latest data from the industry association ACEA, new vehicle registrations fell by just under 4% compared to the previous year, marking the first decline in months and reflecting the difficult overall market. However, a clear trend is emerging within this development: electrification is continuing to advance and shifting market shares in favor of battery electric vehicles. At the same time, the next Middle East conflict is unfolding, with oil prices rising sharply above USD 82 per barrel of Brent. This is providing a strong tailwind for alternative drive systems that can withstand global hysteria. Risk-conscious investors should now revise their portfolio structures.

The arms build-up accelerates – Iran, Israel, and the US escalate! Critical metals remain in focus with Almonty, Thales, and Hensoldt
US President Donald Trump has made the nuclear debate with Iran a top priority. After years of living with what it views as a significant threat from the Iranian regime, Israel is now aligning its strategic interests more closely with Western partners. Discussions increasingly revolve around containing Iran's influence and limiting its military capabilities. Whether this will be so easy is doubtful, as the Revolutionary Guards have developed into a powerful force over the last 10 years, and Russia is also likely to appear on the horizon as a friend of the Iranians. For financial markets, this constellation implies renewed uncertainty and elevated volatility. Historically, such phases have tended to benefit defense and armaments companies. For marathon runner Almonty Industries, the environment appears particularly favorable: geopolitical tensions, rising tungsten prices, and governments under pressure to secure strategic raw materials are reinforcing the investment case. The momentum in defense and critical metals markets continues.

New Momentum for Gold & Silver, SAP, Nvidia and PayPal – Is Lahontan Gold on the Path to Becoming a Cash Generator?
The volatility in the precious metals sector is due to a number of factors, all of which are contributing to higher prices. Over the past three weeks, banks were briefly able to catch their breath with silver prices hovering around USD 75. However, since the unrest in Mexico began, the market has been sensing a new shortage, this time politically induced. Gold can benefit from this scenario, having just reached a new all-time high of USD 5,600 in January. Following this strong rally, a textbook consolidation down to USD 4,850 took place. Yesterday, the USD 5,200 level was seen again, and technical analysts consider temporary spikes toward USD 7,500 a possible overshooting target. Investment banks have also significantly raised their estimates, with Goldman Sachs at USD 5,400, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale at USD 6,000, and JPMorgan at USD 6,500. Although they have been able to predict the gold market well in recent years, they still see room for improvement with the current "de-dollarization." At the same time, overheated tech stocks appear to be in need of further correction. For investors, this is a time for profitable reallocations.

SILVER - Is the USD 150 mark now within reach? Silver Viper on the move!
Up and down – always lively! The silver price currently resembles a yo-yo; children might find it entertaining. However, it is far less amusing for the banks, traders, and especially the futures exchanges involved. For some time now, silver has proven to be an extremely important metal for the trending sectors of defense, medicine, and high-tech. Just as physical supply markets began to falter and China imposed new export restrictions, investors rushed to secure inventories on COMEX and the LME - trading venues originally established for forward sales by producers. With spot prices reaching as high as USD 122, a battle for physical stocks has now erupted. Not only is industry stockpiling significant quantities, but speculators also see the excessive scarcity as a once-in-a-century opportunity for price appreciation. Compared to gold, silver has delivered triple the performance within just 12 months, with the gold-silver ratio falling back to 55 after briefly approaching 100. Market observers expect a new surge toward USD 150 by the March settlement. It may therefore be worthwhile to consider exposure to future producers such as Silver Viper. Time is of the essence.

The rally in critical metals continues! 250% opportunity with Antimony Resources
Tariff turmoil and geopolitical conflicts such as those in Ukraine, Gaza, and now Mexico are sadly causing extreme volatility in the capital markets. There are currently few opportunities for investors to catch their breath, as the world is in turmoil. Driven by uncertainty and supply bottlenecks, gold and silver continue to rise in the middle of the week, reaching new monthly highs of USD 88 and USD 5,250, respectively. Largely ignored for decades, antimony is now joining tungsten at the center of economic and security policy considerations, as key industries in the high-tech and defense sectors are hardly scalable without a stable supply of antimony. This dynamic is triggered by structural supply bottlenecks, politically motivated export restrictions, and a high concentration of production in a few countries. The result is a market in which even small disruptions trigger massive price movements and expose the vulnerability of global supply chains. Antimony Resources has found an enrichment in its Bald Hill project that could reach industrial dimensions. The stock is poised for a revaluation!

Europe steps on the gas! E-mobility and secure supply chains - Avrupa Minerals, BYD, VW, and Stellantis
The stock market year has gotten off to a turbulent start, but a new megatrend is gaining traction: critical metals! While 2025 was dominated by AI and high-tech stocks, raw material suppliers, essential for maintaining industrial competitiveness, are increasingly moving into focus. Over the past 12 months, they have been able to offer investors dream returns in the three- to four-digit range. At the same time, there has been hardly any growth on the NASDAQ since the beginning of the year. Former high-flyers like Palantir, Nvidia, and Strategy are currently trading below their 2025 highs. International commodity stocks dealing with the issue of "Western supply chains" have now moved up the list of top performers. Without strategic metals, the secure production of electrical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and defense technology is not possible. It is therefore worthwhile for investors to rethink their tech portfolios and add good commodity stocks to their watch lists. Meanwhile, the automotive sector, under pressure for months, could be stabilizing after the sobering results of 2025. We take a closer look at the key players.

Unpredictable conflict dynamics turn tungsten into a strategic metal – Almonty moves into focus
The capital markets currently appear paradoxical: record highs for indices, unusually high volatility, and above all, a world order that is shifting faster than any valuation metric. Wars are back and here to stay, trade routes are becoming political and fragile, and sanctions are replacing diplomacy. In this environment, raw materials are once again becoming strategic weapons. While algorithms are still extrapolating growth rates, governments are already thinking about supply scenarios after the crash. In this tense environment, the logic of investing is changing. It is no longer just about supply and demand, but about access, control, and reliability. Who will deliver when the going gets tough? Who will decide who gets what and how much, and who might even be excluded? This is precisely where the major capital movements of the coming years will arise, often away from the familiar mega-caps. A metal that hardly anyone has paid attention to for years is suddenly becoming the focus of technological and military interest. And a company that has long flown under the radar is quietly becoming a strategic factor. Almonty Industries is an example of how geopolitics and capital markets are currently intertwining in new ways and creating dream returns for visionary investors.
