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.

Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof
Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.

E-Mobility in the Grip of Energy Prices! Things Are Heating Up for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BYD and Phenom Resources
Filling up currently feels like a painful visit to the dentist — but without much hope of a cure! Yet despite all the gloom, there are also winners. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, European e-mobility has entered a dynamic yet fiercely competitive phase in recent months. The historic price shock at the pump is prompting consumers to rethink their spending while driving a boom in new battery electric vehicle registrations. In Europe, electric vehicles now appear on the horizon as a subsidized solution, while gasoline and diesel prices march from one all-time high to the next. However, the charts so beloved by stock market traders are difficult to apply to gas station products. As the operating costs of internal combustion engines soar, electric vehicles are rapidly gaining appeal as an alternative. This is particularly good news for Chinese automakers, who are pushing into Europe with an aggressive market strategy and challenging the established, traditional brands. Even the import tariffs imposed by Brussels on pure-electric vehicles can barely slow the advance from the Far East. The local automotive industry is thus under unprecedented pressure to transform and compete. Where exactly should investors be looking?

Gas Prices Above EUR 2.50? Nel ASA, Bayer, MustGrow and K+S in the Spotlight
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
The ongoing debate over rising energy costs and the transition toward a greener economy is increasingly reaching gas stations and supermarket shelves. If gasoline prices remain sustainably above EUR 2.50, agricultural producers in particular will come under enormous pressure. Food production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, as tractors and harvesters are traditionally powered by agricultural diesel. Higher fuel prices therefore directly increase the cost of producing and transporting our daily food. At the same time, the agricultural sector faces the enormous challenge of reducing its reliance on conventional chemicals and fertilizers and finding more sustainable alternatives. This transformation requires innovative approaches at the intersection of the energy and agricultural sectors. Companies such as Nel ASA are therefore moving into focus, as green hydrogen can play a key role in decarbonizing the agricultural sector and producing cleaner fuels. Specialists such as MustGrow Biologics are also gaining importance by developing biological crop protection products designed to replace chemical alternatives. The traditional fertilizer giant K+S is likewise a key player in the rapidly evolving sector of sustainable food. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Energy Madness - Gas Prices at EUR 2.50! Shell, BP, Standard Uranium, and Siemens Energy in Focus
It has finally happened: the historic 5-DM petrol price target set by the Alliance 90/The Greens party at its federal party conference in Magdeburg in March 1998 has become a reality. A price of EUR 2.50 per litre, mathematically almost exactly equivalent to the 5 Deutsche Mark at the time, is exerting significant pressure on policymakers and capital markets. It is fuelling inflation, forcing central banks to adopt restrictive monetary policies and triggering major shifts in capital allocation. While fossil fuel giants Shell and BP are raking in dazzling record profits in the short term thanks to exorbitant crude oil prices, forward-looking value investors are already securing strategic positions in alternative sectors. Amid the ongoing price crisis, nuclear energy is once again taking centre stage as a reliable, low-carbon baseload option, benefiting exploration companies like Standard Uranium. At the same time, massive cost pressures are driving a global overhaul of grid infrastructure, filling the order books of energy technology group Siemens Energy to the brim. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.

Defence Stocks Ride the NATO Wave: Boeing, Volatus, Dassault, RTX and DroneShield in Focus
Since Russia's initial actions in Central Europe, the European Union has faced a massive wave of rearmament driven by new NATO requirements, giving the defence industry a significant boost. EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius called for an unprecedented expansion of European capabilities in Brussels to match Russia's enormous production capacity. To achieve this goal, the EU is aiming to produce up to 10 million state-of-the-art FPV drones and 130,000 jet-powered drones annually. In addition, the defence industry is expected to roll out about 1,700 ballistic missiles per year. Industry giants such as Boeing and Dassault are likely to benefit significantly from this massive technological rearmament initiative. At the same time, specialized drone pioneers like Volatus and DroneShield are stepping into the spotlight as demand for unmanned systems and their countermeasures rises dramatically. A newly formed drone alliance between the EU and Ukraine is now set to accelerate the development of these next-generation systems massively. Which stocks could see the biggest gains?

Tungsten: The Showstopper in Fragile Supply Chains? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries and Airbus in Focus
The Middle East conflict is entering a new phase. Meanwhile, surging oil prices are putting the global economy under significant pressure and bringing strategic industries such as defense and aerospace into the spotlight. Rheinmetall and Airbus are not only grappling with geopolitical risks but also striving to maintain stable supply chains for urgently needed critical metals. In addition to copper, tungsten is gaining particular importance. This extremely hard, heat-resistant metal is indispensable for wear-resistant tools, special alloys, and numerous applications in the defence and aerospace industries. While ongoing tensions continue to drive up commodity prices, investors should look beyond the oil market to the key metals that will secure Europe's industrial future. Our focus is therefore on tungsten supplier Almonty, which is stepping up its game with new sourcing routes in Africa. A clear list of priorities makes sense!
