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.

Heating chaos in Berlin! Palantir, Defense Metals, Borussia Dortmund - Do governments use artificial intelligence like ChatGPT?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key driver for the digital transformation of our society. Some technologies have been around for over 50 years but advances in computing power and the availability of big data and new algorithms have led to breakthroughs in AI in recent years. Even if AI is only slowly becoming present in our everyday lives, new applications are likely to bring enormous changes in the future. Decision-making processes, for example, can be strongly supported digitally since today's computers can sift through hundreds of years of knowledge within a few seconds. But does this necessarily mean that the quality of results will also increase?

Biotech in turnaround mode! BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys, Formycon - Take a close look at these shares!
Since the major pandemic wave in the biotech sector, most industry players have had to come to terms with normality again. Scolded investors quickly learned their lesson and are now looking warily at an industry that experienced its heyday between 2019 and 2021. Today, it is no longer the small announcements of hope that lead to significant price swings. After months of sell-offs, however, the sector is stabilizing for the first time, and some protagonists can report minor progress. When the sector trend weakens, selection is the trump card. Here are some suggestions.

ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence and E-Mobility! BYD, Almonty Industries, Nvidia - 100% performance with strategic metals!
Those aiming to accelerate artificial intelligence, e-mobility, or the energy transition need access to critical metals. The EU and the USA have the extraction of domestic resources on the agenda in order to become independent of the raw materials giants China and Russia. Long approval phases, too little exploration and a lack of investment capital have made this problematic over the last 10 years. Now a law is being prepared to secure the supply of raw materials in the EU. Resourceful investors can position themselves early on.

Is national bankruptcy looming, or is the US debt ceiling a cinch? Deutsche Bank, Tocvan Ventures, PayPal - Financial system under tension!
Once again, the so-called "debt ceiling" in the US has been reached. Consequently, reports about the US financial system are filling the global headlines, with insolvency being painted on the wall. Meanwhile, it is common knowledge that the US has been printing money for a good three decades because its budget is chronically in deficit. Unfortunately, however, the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved raising the debt ceiling conditional on a number of demands that cannot be easily met. The financial markets are visibly trembling. However, seasoned participants know that this debt limit has been raised 78 times since 1960, so why should it fail on the 79th occasion? Is it all just a show? We take a closer look.

100% and more with these turnaround stocks! Plug Power, Globex Mining, Palantir. Take a close look now!
When investing in stocks, the goal is always to find low entry prices to optimize long-term performance. Unfortunately, buying downward-trending stocks promises less success than investing in stocks that constantly reach new highs. This principle embodies the wisdom of "The Trend is Your Friend." In applying this advice, one should let profits run and limit losses. A sensible risk diversification also requires a portfolio approach that spans countries, industries, and currencies. We look at three stocks from different sectors with promising return potential.

DAX on a record chase, and hydrogen is making a comeback! VW, Daimler Truck, First Hydrogen, Traton. Who can convince?
The EU wants to invest about EUR 25 billion in hydrogen over the next 10 years. To this end, the Commission has drafted the concept of a "Hydrogen Accelerator" to promote the use of renewable hydrogen. The "REPowerEU plan" launched for this purpose aims to produce 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen within the EU by 2030 and to import a further 10 million tons. It is hoped that this will provide an important building block for saving the climate. The private sector is also involved. We take a look at some of the key players.

Attention in the battery sector: Varta in sellout, Mercedes, Power Nickel and IBU-tec with good prospects!
What a debacle for Varta! While many manufacturers worldwide are looking for clean battery solutions, things continue to go downhill for the company in Ellwangen. The linchpin of mobile electrification is the development of a super battery. The conventional battery market is dominated by the Chinese group CATL with a 38% share, followed by BYD. But there are also many smaller technology companies in Germany, such as Altech Advanced Materials and IBU-Tec, that are getting involved in the battery market. We go in search of sector highlights.

Withdrawal from Russia, Asia says thank you - shares of BYD, Canadian North Resources, and Volkswagen in focus!
The triumphant march of electrification is gathering pace. While European producers are abandoning their production facilities in Russia, a new axis of industrialization is forming between Moscow, Beijing and New Delhi. For symbolic prices, local technology leaders are selling their plants in Russia to investors and speculators. What is no longer delivered to Russia from Europe is now produced by others, such as the Chinese manufacturer BYD, which can hardly be stopped in its expansion policy. It is interesting how a competitive picture can change completely within months. We analyze this a little more closely.

BioNTech, Bayer, BioNxt, Formycon - The next biotech wave is rolling in - select carefully now!
Even after Corona, the biotech sector remains an interesting investment sector because it is still important to keep an eye on the major widespread diseases. For many companies, this will probably mean a longer waiting game for investors. In addition to the promising research approaches and milestone plans, the cash reserves of these companies are also important. While having ample funding can lead to quick progress in the laboratory, it is crucial to have the necessary liquidity. In refinancing, however, things have become a little frostier since the rise in interest rates. Which companies should be put under the microscope?

Heat pump, wind power and solar energy, is this the electricity mix of the future? E.ON, Myriad Uranium and ThyssenKrupp in focus
Germany is rapidly moving away from fossil fuels and has removed nuclear power from its energy mix. This makes us the forerunner of a new-thinking society that wants to switch energy production entirely to renewable sources. But there are a few problems because, by abandoning nuclear power, we are forced to extend the lifetimes of coal and natural gas-fired power plants. From a CO2 point of view, this is madness, and there is another point: the supposedly more environmentally friendly versions of energy production, such as wind or solar power, are not nearly as environmentally friendly as advertised by politicians because of current production practices. We will analyze these aspects objectively and in more detail.
