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.

1000% possible: Varta, Standard Lithium, Power Nickel: The super battery is coming!
In view of advanced stock market valuations, rising inflation and disrupted supply chains, many market participants wonder whether the 1000% is possible in 2022. It is! Because right now, there are many young companies with revolutionary approaches to solving the climate crisis. Innovation and fortune are needed here to launch the ultimate solution to our future problems at the right time. Battery technology remains a good starting point because the issues of range, service life, and recycling have not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Maybe the tenbagger is among the following 3 companies?

The 100% interest winners: Allianz, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, MAS Gold - The precious metals are coming!
For a long time, the Bund Future had been able to hold well above 170. The 10-year Bund contract even reached prices above 178 points at its peak. Since mid-December 2021, however, the tide has turned. The German 10-year yield literally exploded from -0.30 to +0.27%. Some observers will say, "Nothing much has happened!" Wrong - the time of negative yields is history. Long-term mortgage rates also rose by a full 70 basis points during the same period. This marks the end of the phase of ultra-low interest rates, and it also puts real estate financing in an entirely new light. And the accompanying high inflation has many investors looking to precious metals - they are seen as a hedge against inflation. Which stocks are winning in this environment?

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, CureVac - Find the bio blockbuster!
The biotech sector is a highly dynamic growth market within the equity universe. It is characterized by investment volumes of unprecedented size, which is also the reason for the high innovation rate characteristic of the sector. Price reactions to positive or negative surprises can be very volatile, and these tendencies are often exacerbated by the intervention of stop orders or the occurrence of derivative slippage. Vaccine manufacturers were down over 50% across the board, as the pandemic is being traded as a phase-out. The vaccination rate does not appear to be increasing significantly. Where are the opportunities for investors at the moment?

Meta Platforms, PayPal, Triumph Gold - The turnaround is coming in really hard!
Never before in stock market history have there been several billion-dollar corrections in technology companies in succession without the NASDAQ collapsing significantly. After the halving of Netflix, it now catches two other showpieces of the NDX, namely Meta Platforms (ex-Facebook) and PayPal. Last week, after the announcement of their figures, they experienced a severe sell-off of almost 30% each. In total, assets of over USD 300 billion were incinerated. A former bank executive would probably no longer call that peanuts, especially since the Lehman crisis in 2008 triggered a veritable conflagration because of skewed loans worth more than USD 400 billion. But today, everything is different. After this sell-off, who can soon rise again?

Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom: Oil price explosion to USD 120?
Oil prices again rose sharply last week and once again reached multi-year highs. Most recently, a barrel of Brent North Sea crude cost USD 92.80. That translates to an increase of approximately USD 13 since the beginning of the year. The price for a barrel of the US variety West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to a high of USD 92,20; thus, the spread between the oil variants is again historically low. Both grades rose at times to their highest level since autumn 2014. The triggers for the current bull market are primarily the Ukraine crisis and the cold snap in the US state of Texas. This has fueled concerns about production losses in the Permian Basin, the largest US shale oil deposit. Which oil stocks are now under the spotlight of investors?

Novavax, XPhyto Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - The vaccine blockbusters are on the move again!
It is on again with the vaccine producers. Experts consider the pandemic to be over by the summer of 2022, but vaccination rates are still low, and infection figures are rushing from record to record. Meanwhile, mandatory vaccination by law is also a daily topic of discussion, dividing society into at least two camps. According to the thinking of those currently taking action, the right to freedom of bodily integrity probably ceases when third parties could suffer a disadvantage as a result of one's own decision. It's so easy to knit laws under the postulate of "protection & general welfare," and the individual right to liberty under the Basic Law is thus unceremoniously nullified. After all, members of parliament are supposed to be able to vote without factional coercion. We evaluate the chances of the well-known biotech protagonists!

Nordex, Nevada Copper, JinkoSolar: Earning in the copper decade!
According to a 2020 study by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG), Chile, Peru, China and the US were the largest copper producers in the world. Other significant deposits can be found in Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada, Zambia, Poland, Kazakhstan and Mexico. While most mines have copper concentrations between 0.2 and 0.8%, there are even deposits in Central and South Africa that can contain 5 - 6% copper. In Europe, the largest copper deposits are found in Russia and Poland. Expert opinions differ considerably when calculating the copper market for the next few years. According to a study by Wood Mackenzie, primary copper demand will increase by 30% to about 25 million tons by 2030. And ore is already in more than short supply today. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Lufthansa, TUI, Diamcor Mining, Aston Martin - Grab strong gains now!
Germany is home to more than 2 million people with assets of more than EUR 1 million - in 2010, this figure was still a good 600,000. The threshold for belonging to the top one per mille is rising steadily. Currently, liquid assets of around EUR 5.5 million are needed to belong to the wealthiest 1 per mille of Germans. Nevertheless, luxury is not only found among the rich because the desire for extravagance is a widespread character trait and less a question of money. We look at companies that rely on liquid clientele.

Daimler, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA, Varta - Battery bull market even without Tesla!
In 2021, many investor topics made hearts beat faster, whether e-mobility, hydrogen or lithium. Every megatrend had its green wave, and after the buying frenzy, there were also corrections. According to the latest statistics from the Deutsches Aktieninstitut, 12.1 million Germans were invested in shares, funds or ETFs. That corresponds to a shareholder quota of over 14% and delivers the third-highest result since records began in 1997. The new stock market players have to cope with fluctuations and uncertainties because the start of 2022 is incomparably bumpier than last year. We highlight current opportunities!
