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.

Surprise after Q3 figures: Deutsche Bank, Microsoft, Desert Gold, Siemens - Good Chart Technique and a boost from AI?
The ECB has paused its interest rate adjustments for the first time in 12 months. It is not surprising, as a declining economy is currently causing inflationary pressures to subside somewhat. Because of the numerous geopolitical conflicts, gold has surpassed the USD 2,000 mark again after a long consolidation period. And then there are the many quarterly figures. It is good for those who can keep track of them all. We look at new developments with Deutsche Bank, Microsoft's entry into the German corporate AI market, and the excellent opportunities at the explorer Desert Gold.

Lithium: The million-ton question! BASF, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium, Varta - The Top List for 2024
Lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used battery type for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage. Estimates vary widely, but by 2025, we will need between 500,000 and 850,000 thousand tons of lithium, but in 2022 only 130,000 tons were produced. Against the backdrop of continued high global demand for e-vehicles, many high-performance batteries will be needed. Four gigafactories are currently being built in Europe, and the demand seems enormous. Each auto manufacturer has its own sourcing strategy, but there is currently a problem on the supply side because not every raw material is easy to obtain. Lithium is one of the most essential raw material components of a battery, along with nickel, cobalt, graphite and copper. Prices across the battery segment are under pressure due to the approaching economic downturn. What should investors look out for now?

Omicron or Pirola? Biotech shows doubling opportunities again! BioNTech, Pfizer, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys in focus
We had ticked off the Corona pandemic long ago. But if you ask your acquaintances, you may find one or two who have recently been infected with the "Pirola" variant. The official code of the virus variant is BA.2.86, and it was first discovered in Israel. The current infections are spreading rapidly across Europe and have also reached Germany. So far, the new Omicron offshoot appears less contagious than its predecessors. The new symptoms associated with "Pirola" include skin rashes, diarrhea, changes in the mouth and tongue, itchy eyes and surprisingly, sore fingers or toes. What is going on here? It is a reason to look again at BioNTech and some other biotechs. Where are the opportunities lurking?

Uranium with exploding demand! Uniper, GoviEx Uranium, Plug Power, RWE - The next 100% value in the portfolio
With a global alliance, the participants of the last climate conference in Cairo want to implement their NetZero targets by 2035 or 2045. The speed of adaptation to more sustainable energy production and use is, of course, dependent on the public investment budgets of governments. In Germany and the EU, eco-taxes are levied to fund other areas, such as transport, which are then to be invested in environmental projects. However, most participants in the climate agreement are overburdened because of the high costs of migration management and rising government spending. However, because many countries still have a good infrastructure for nuclear energy, this form of energy is now being used to achieve the desired climate neutrality somewhat earlier and more easily. The protagonists of this view in Europe are France, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic - Germany is staying out of this issue. However, around 100 new reactors are to be built worldwide, so uranium as a raw material is once again at the top of the shopping list. Which stocks are at the forefront of this trend?

Attention, take advantage of the sell-off now! Bombed-out prices at JinkoSolar, SolarEdge, Manuka Resources and BYD!
This has not happened for a long time: Lower prices among the "Who's Who" of international technology stocks. Investors who had bet on the endless upswing of well-known growth stocks have taken a beating in the last 6 weeks. But not every fallen angel is excessively overvalued! In times of high volatility and rising interest rates, it pays to take a clear look at robust business models. And as we all know, these are to be found among the market leaders. We welcome the necessary price corrections because they present better opportunities for prudent investors. However, the stock market must now compete with a safe EU bond yield of just under 4%. The risk capital for equities is, therefore, no longer as abundant due to attractive fixed-income alternatives. We assess the opportunities for a few selected stocks.

Strategic metals, rare and in demand! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, JinkoSolar
We all know that the electrification of mobility and the energy transition is unstoppable. At the same time, there are numerous trouble spots in this world that make reliable access to such important metals difficult and threaten supply chains. The supply of essential raw materials has, therefore, long since become a matter for governments, while private alliances that can be terminated at any time appear too uncertain. We examine companies that are doing well in this environment and offer one or two solutions to the problem. For investors, this means promising returns!

Attention: Turnaround with 100% chance! Hydrogen stocks Nel and Plug Power are looking for the bottom and dynaCERT with large orders
Consolidation has now gripped the entire market, as the sharp rise in interest rates and the remaining high inflation are taking their toll on growth stocks. For the first time, the major indices have come under great pressure, with the DAX-40 also making acquaintance with the all-important 15,000 mark. However, there are also positive signs. The hydrogen market has been undergoing a substantial correction since the end of 2021, which resulted from prolonged overvaluation. Market participants were expecting a new megatrend due to numerous political initiatives, but it has yet to materialize as quickly as anticipated. Now, however, the cards of the protagonists look better. Valuations are now at a low point, and new orders are coming in. We take a look at some interesting stocks.

Strong Buy with 70% discount! TUI, Blackrock Silver, Plug Power - Secure the 2024 winners for your portfolio now!
The stock markets have been in a stagnant state since March. Interest rates are rising, inflation remains high, and we have also seen better times on the economic front. When everything seems gloomy, and the cannons are thundering far away, it is buying time for lagging or unjustly beaten-up stocks. Plug Power, TUI, and Blackrock Silver shares have seen over 70% correction in just two years. It is partly fundamentally justified, partly because of one of the worst industry trends in decades. Those looking for the other side of the coin should take a closer look because this is likely where the next 100 percenters lie dormant.

Investing against the tide! Rheinmetall, BYD and Power Nickel with 100% potential?
In challenging times, it takes a lot of nerve to weatherproof one's investment strategy. Despite all the crises, however, there is no denying that the key underlying trends in the economy will continue. Occasional setbacks, therefore, always provide new entry levels for the agile investor, naturally in the conviction that we in Germany can do little to change the global situation and its upheavals. Life goes on, and stock market prices have to find a new equilibrium. In the area of defense and mobility solutions, Rheinmetall, BYD and Power Nickel stand out with good positioning. Where do the opportunities lie?

Hydrogen before the rebound! Nel, First Hydrogen and ThyssenKrupp Nucera in focus
The stock market environment is currently not characterized by a festive mood. Many conflicts and political uncertainties dominate the minds. Even hydrogen stocks have not been spared major price corrections for investors. However, investors with a healthy long-term focus should look a few years ahead. After all, climate change and alternative energies will have difficulty bypassing the hydrogen issue. Public initiatives will increase, if not today, then tomorrow. Even today, however, the entire sector is available for purchase at a high discount. First Hydrogen is very innovative, and there are good rebound opportunities for Nel and ThyssenKrupp. We do the math.
