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.

Endless NASDAQ Rally – AI Drives Demand for Electric Power and Hydrogen: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, BYD, and ITM Power
While the relentless tech rally on the NASDAQ races from one historic all-time high to the next thanks to the insatiable AI boom, investors are increasingly focusing on the industry's fundamental Achilles' heel: the enormous electricity demand of AI data centers. As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in business operations, it not only requires vast amounts of electricity but is also automating routine tasks that were once performed by human workers. This rapid adoption is driving an unprecedented need for reliable power generation. The question is no longer whether additional energy will be needed, but where it will come from. Investors looking toward the future are increasingly seeking the most compelling ESG investment opportunities at the intersection of high-tech innovation and energy production. In addition to expanding nuclear energy, many cleantech solutions are being explored. The e-mobility giant BYD recognized this challenge years ago; today, it dominates the roads worldwide with groundbreaking battery technologies. Complementing the electrification trend is the growing hydrogen economy, where Nel ASA and ITM Power continue to play important roles. At the same time, dynaCERT is rapidly advancing toward broader commercial adoption through an ambitious expansion strategy in Asia, leveraging its emissions-reduction technology. Where are the key catalysts for investors?

AI and Smart Farming: Growth Opportunities with BASF, MustGrow, SAP, and Nestlé
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
Devastating wildfires in Spain and southern France are no longer a rare occurrence. Climate change is taking an increasing toll. Alongside technological progress, we must ensure that the natural resources we depend on—clean water, clean air, and healthy ecosystems—are preserved for future generations. The smart farming approach is transforming agriculture through the targeted use of digital technologies such as drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT sensors. These innovations enable farms to precisely manage resources like water and energy while improving yield forecasting and operational efficiency. A key pillar of this transformation is a stronger focus on sustainability and the protection of natural ecosystems. From this perspective, biological fertilizers are becoming increasingly important, as they help maintain long-term soil health, unlike many synthetic alternatives. Investors stand to benefit in more ways than one. Companies that combine sustainability with technological innovation are well positioned to capitalize on powerful long-term trends. In this report, we take a closer look at the opportunities.

A Chip Crash Was Inevitable, a Gold Revival Is on the Horizon! AMD, Infineon, and SanDisk Are in a Sell-Off; Lahontan Gold Is on the Rise
What a bombshell in the tech sector! The abrupt plunge in semiconductor stocks has unexpectedly shaken up the industry and forced the NASDAQ into a correction. After a rally lasting several months, valuations were starting to look ambitious, while signs of an economic slowdown were emerging. A reassessment of fundamentals appears to be underway, as in an environment of persistent inflation and high volatility, investors' desire for stability and preservation of value is once again coming to the forefront. Gold has historically served this role many times as a classic "safe haven", safeguarding real purchasing power through crises. The tactical strategy is to realize some or all of the gains from overheated, cyclical technology and semiconductor stocks and reallocate them to precious metals and related instruments. While chip and memory stocks react strongly to market sentiment, an exposure to the gold sector provides a stable anchor with long-term opportunities. Now is a good time to act!

Active Ingredients, Acquisitions and Spin-offs: Will Bayer, Novo Nordisk, BioNxt, or Evotec Become Top M&A Targets?
After years of consolidation, investors are asking: Will things start looking up again? The global life sciences sector is facing another massive wave of consolidation in 2026 as established pharmaceutical giants and agile biotech pioneers realign their businesses. Market dynamics remain high, but unfortunately, both sides are being exploited. So far, it has been predominantly speculative investors who are capitalizing on the current volatility. Following drastic share price losses and ongoing restructuring, the struggling Hamburg-based biotech company Evotec is increasingly in the crosshairs of financially strong acquirers seeking to acquire high-calibre drug discovery platforms at a bargain price. At the same time, BioNxt is attracting investor interest with its groundbreaking drug delivery systems and advanced clinical pipelines. Meanwhile, the market continues to speculate feverishly about a possible breakup or spin-off of individual divisions at the DAX-listed Bayer Group, which would massively increase its appeal to strategic buyers. On the other hand, Danish industry leader Novo Nordisk, driven by the sustained billion-dollar profits from its weight-loss portfolio, is acting as a financially powerful hunter in search of strategic acquisitions in the obesity and cardiovascular segments. For investors, this highly dynamic environment offers a rare opportunity to bet early on the year's hottest takeover candidates. What is the current status?

Energy Power Shift: US on the Rise, EU Under Pressure – A Look at Standard Uranium, E.ON, ITM, and Plug Power
The next wave of the AI revolution will be decided not by algorithms, but by megawatts. The US energy agency, the IEA, projects that data center electricity consumption will rise to just under 1,000 TWh by 2030. An analysis by Goldman Sachs goes even further, forecasting that electricity demand driven by AI workloads could rise by up to 160% over the same period. This brings an often-underestimated question to the forefront of the capital markets: Who will supply the energy for the digital age? Utilities like E.ON and hydrogen specialists such as ITM Power and Plug Power are small cogs in a large machine room. Countries like China, the US, and the dynamic EU member Poland have recognized the challenges and are mobilizing for their next phase of nuclear expansion. The race for electricity is on, and it will determine who will be among the big winners in the AI era. Globally, uranium production remains concentrated in just a few regions. This makes the market vulnerable to supply disruptions, permitting risks, and geopolitical disruptions. Standard Uranium demonstrates what consistent exploration can look like at a time when demand for uranium to fuel new power plant capacity is rising. It is worth taking a closer look.

The Energy Sector Boom Is Boosting Critical Metals: Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Globex Mining, and Nordex in the Spotlight
The world is changing rapidly! The escalating crisis in the Middle East highlights the acute vulnerability of global commodity supply chains and is forcing Western industrialized nations to undergo a radical geopolitical realignment. To free themselves from dependence on unstable regions and autocratic monopolies, the US and Canada are investing heavily in the accelerated development of self-sufficient North American supply chains for critical minerals and precious metals. This development is receiving an additional regulatory boost from the protectionist economic policies of a second Trump administration—under the slogan "Drill, Baby, Drill"—and is creating a boom for resource-rich areas of North America, such as the Abitibi Belt in Québec. In this highly volatile market environment, Globex Mining, a licensing specialist that consistently operates behind the scenes, is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of recent times. While partner companies finance the capital-intensive drilling operations, the company risk-free acquires valuable smelting licenses and positions itself perfectly for the energy transition that will shape the future. For investors, the North American renaissance in resource extraction offers multiple opportunities. In contrast, after an extended rally, established energy companies appear to be taking a breather. A critical look is warranted.

Artificial Intelligence: Full Speed Ahead for Software, Cloud, and Tech! SAP, ServiceNow, Miivo AI, and Oracle in Focus
Created and Published on Behalf of Miivo AI Inc.
In recent months, there has been a great deal of skepticism surrounding the business models of major software companies and cloud giants, and as a result, their stock prices took a significant hit. However, sentiment has been shifting since the latest earnings reports from SAP and ServiceNow. There were already initial signs of a turnaround at the end of last week. SAP was up 10%, ServiceNow up 6%; only Oracle has yet to complete its turnaround. The sector is once again attractive to long-term investors, as the massive bull run in growth markets completely bypassed these stocks. However, the exuberant rally in chip stocks is currently stalling, which could breathe new life into other sectors as part of a sector rotation. Despite the sector-wide slump, Canadian software provider Miivo AI is showing noticeable upward momentum. The company focuses holistically on small and medium-sized enterprises. With a compelling business model, significant growth can still be expected here. We take a closer look at the sector.
