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.

USA–Iran: The Strait of Hormuz is Opening Up! A Sector Buy Signal for Bayer, MustGrow, BASF and K+S!
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
Some things are ultimately not surprising. The "agreement" between the USA–Israel and Iran resembles shadow boxing. One step forward, one step back—that is how the movements at the trading desk appear. The stock markets are reacting accordingly. At the start of the week, optimism about a near-term end to the hostilities is once again dominating. Oil prices are correcting most sharply, down nearly 5%, with Brent now quoted at only USD 82.50 per barrel. This is a positive signal for chemical- and transport-oriented industries in the food sector, with BASF and Bayer showing corresponding strength. Large volumes of goods must be transported globally, and shipping routes carry significant operational importance. As part of efforts to ensure long-term food security, more and more ideas are emerging that could mitigate the international energy crisis. MustGrow focuses on natural ingredients rather than chemicals, while K+S represents a typical example of the "old economy" in this sector. For investors, multiple opportunities for returns are available!

The Countdown to Mars is on: SpaceX, OHB, Rheinmetall, and Kobo Resources are Taking Off
Long-awaited, and now it has finally happened! We are talking about the IPO of the century from Elon Musk's empire: SpaceX. With a market capitalization of USD 2.2 trillion, the stock has joined the illustrious "MAG7" club after its first day of trading—it is now, so to speak, the "MAG8". Of the 22,000 employees, one in four has become a millionaire. There are 20 new billionaires from the founder's inner circle; even the operator of the SpaceX Campus Café is now worth USD 5 million. Elon has become the new messiah of the dollar, and the markets follow him with reverence. This once again highlights the fascination of "stocks" for the average person: anyone can obviously make it; you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Whether SpaceX's high valuation will still hold true in a few weeks now depends on the ETFs. They account for 30% of US stock market trading and will have to reflect the IPO valuation champion in their future weightings within the NASDAQ and Russell indices. Inclusion in the S&P is not expected until December. The catch: only 7% of the shares are freely tradable. What should investors pay attention to now?

Gold, Silver, Defence, AI, or the Nasdaq? SpaceX Heads for the US Indices – Defying Weakness with Lahontan Gold
A remarkable phenomenon is currently unfolding in the markets: virtually everything is weakening. From gold to silver, from high-tech to low-tech, whether AI or hydrogen—every sector is undergoing a correction. So far, however, the pullback remains modest when measured against the extraordinary gains achieved over the past 14 months following the tariff-driven sell-off triggered by Donald Trump. During that period, the Nasdaq effectively doubled. Traders know that a volatile interim low will now be reached, particularly over the summer, before the markets look forward to 2027 with renewed hope. This period needs to be bridged, and there may also be a need for hedging. Historically, gold has served this role well, often gaining value when other asset classes came under pressure. Yet gold itself has been one of the best-performing asset classes over the past two years, leading to some profit-taking here as well. Whether the S&P 500 can absorb additional heavyweights such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Databricks following its historic rally remains to be seen. A fast-track inclusion of SpaceX into the S&P indices was reportedly rejected by S&P Dow Jones, while NASDAQ, Russell, and MSCI are set to list it within a few trading days. This should be exciting! Where are the tangible opportunities for investors?

The SpaceX Frenzy and the Urge to Travel! Caution on Lufthansa, TUI, Zefiro Methane, Shell, and BP
The SpaceX frenzy continues. With an anticipated initial valuation approaching USD 2 trillion, Elon Musk is launching what could become the largest IPO since Saudi Aramco's debut in 2019. Back then, the Saudi oil giant raised nearly USD 30 billion. Musk is now targeting an astonishing USD 75 billion. At the proposed valuation, his 42% stake would make him the world's first trillionaire. The moment of truth will come in the next few days. As the FIFA World Cup kicks off, investors may briefly have to take their eyes off the pitch to avoid missing the first trading quotes. Whether Elon Musk can successfully bring SpaceX—with crown jewels such as Starlink, xAI, and its space operations—to the NASDAQ remains to be seen. One thing is certain: volatility is already elevated, and markets are highly nervous ahead of the listing. But SpaceX is not the only story in town. Following initial signs of de-escalation in the Gulf, investors are once again turning their attention to oil stocks, while travel and tourism shares are also moving back into focus. These are interesting times for flexible investors.

7.5% NASDAQ Weekly Correction: Infineon, AMD, HPQ Silicon, and Siemens Energy in the Spotlight
After 14 months of the NASDAQ's steep rise of over 100%, investors celebrated the new era of AI data centers and the associated chip boom. Adding to the general euphoria was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which sent prices skyrocketing, particularly in the high-tech sector. As a result, CPU manufacturer AMD now expects to double its revenue by 2028, with EBIT projected to triple. Apparently, the bulls believe these new scarcity-driven prices will persist into the near future. However, since commodity and energy prices are currently trending downward, production costs are likely to fall again in the long run. This would make price competition more likely than a continuation of the unusual hype. Cautious investors are therefore hitting the brakes on well-performing stocks like Infineon, AMD, and Siemens Energy in favour of less highly valued sectors. Here are a few facts about the sector.

Will NASDAQ Shockwave Burst AI Bubble? Major Movements at Nel ASA, Oklo, dynaCERT, SpaceX, and ITM Power
It has finally happened—a 7.5% drop on the tech exchanges in just three trading days. Yet, only last Tuesday, the NASDAQ 100 index had reached a new all-time high of 30,730 points. In a sudden realization, market participants understood that the central bank's next move will be a "rate hike." After all, the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, makes no secret that inflation near 4% is a disaster for the US dollar and economic stability. Although Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted in the media at an interest rate cut, the central bank governors—including former Fed Chair Jerome Powell—are unanimously leaning toward hikes to curb high inflation. In addition to economically measurable inflation, voices are growing louder that excessive price increases on Wall Street paint a picture of the economy that does not align with reality. The daily gains of billions in stock market wealth, combined with the extreme increases in long positions, harbour the potential for disappointment in the near future. Whether the initial spark of a correction was set in motion last week must therefore be closely analyzed.

300% Gain On The Horizon For High-Flyers: Marvell Technology, SpaceX, Super Micro Computer, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
For weeks now, the stock market carousel has been revolving around the same sector: technology! Boring? Not really, because in addition to the staggering gains in the market favourites, there are always interesting follow-on stocks and IPOs that investors should keep an eye on. In about 8 days, Elon Musk's SpaceX will go public. Then the "MAG7" label will likely no longer fit, because market experts expect valuations of around USD 2 trillion from day one. The next superlative would then be reached, making visionary and charismatic founder Musk the first trillionaire on this planet. Given the speed at which this is happening, some may feel dizzy. For those staying on board, it is time to buckle up, close your eyes, and go for it! Our selected stocks—Marvell, Super Micro Computer, and Antimony Resources—offer a healthy mix of growth and critical shortages—a solid selection for a hot summer.

AI and Quantum Wonders Keep Happening: TeamViewer, SAP, and Aspermont Soaring, Palantir Sidelined
Quantum technology is considered one of the most significant waves of innovation of the 21st century and could completely turn entire industries upside down. At the same time, this same technological progress poses significant risks to digital security, as powerful quantum computers could one day overcome established encryption methods. Software and hardware companies are equally challenged. But while the tech titans from Silicon Valley are securing the physical and digital foundation of the AI economy, the valuation fantasies of individual high-flyers like Palantir are coming under increasing pressure from reality following a sharp correction. At least established software companies like SAP and TeamViewer are stabilizing in their new roles as AI integration and automation providers for businesses. Away from the mainstream, Aspermont is taking a radically different approach: there, data is not merely processed but transformed into an actual commodity within a raw materials-driven market environment. In the future, whoever controls access to relevant information will no longer decide merely on competitive advantages—but on market positions themselves.

Critical Metals Riding the Wave of Industrial Demand! NASDAQ Hits 30,000, and Almonty Gears Up for the Russell 1,000
Another milestone for Almonty Industries CEO Lewis Black. While the tech rally is pushing the NASDAQ 100 index above 30,000, the tungsten manufacturer is being added to the Russell 1000 Index following the June expiration, based on revenue and valuation criteria. This also entails membership in the somewhat broader Russell 3000 Index, as shown in the FTSE Russell list. This has far-reaching implications! Index-based ETFs must adjust their asset weightings in line with the indices they track within a specified timeframe. For Almonty stock, which has not been represented there until now, this means additional demand from institutional investors - as if the buzz surrounding the only relevant publicly traded tungsten stock were not already big enough. So the party is likely to keep going strong!

NATO's Strategic Alliance: Drone Technology for Canada and Ukraine – Volatus Aerospace Strengthens Its Strategic Position
The war in Ukraine is currently demonstrating with great clarity that traditional camouflage and deception strategies are increasingly reaching their limits when faced with AI-powered drone systems. While Russia attempts to confuse algorithmic target acquisition with "zebra" patterns on supply vehicles, modern neural networks learn to classify these signatures as clear target markers in a very short time. At this point, it becomes clear that technological escalation is driving a massive increase in global demand for integrated drone and counter-UAS systems and shifting defence architecture toward autonomous real-time intelligence. According to NATO analyses, global budgets for unmanned systems have been growing at double-digit rates since 2024, as traditional platforms are increasingly supplemented by networked, software-driven reconnaissance and attack systems. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace, as an integrated provider of drone operations, AI-powered analysis, and training infrastructure, is increasingly coming into the focus of institutional investors. In addition, CAD 30 million was quickly raised. The investment rotation is now beginning.
