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.

Clean Logistics, Plug Power, Nel, FuelCell Energy - 2022, let's go hydrogen!
Germany is focusing primarily on green electricity from wind and sun due to climate protection. It can already be used comparatively effectively in e-cars, for example. However, this is far more difficult in industry: Fuels such as oil, coke or gas are to be replaced by hydrogen in steel, chemical and cement production. The situation is similar in shipping, aviation and heavy goods transport, where it isn't easy to run on electricity. The rise in fossil fuel prices increases the pressure to switch to alternative energies and new drive concepts. The year 2022 could set an important starting point.

Infineon, Nevada Copper, Nvidia - The high-tech industry in the copper trap!
Copper is an essential metal for the high-tech industry because of its extreme conductivity. Since 2019, there has already been a supply deficit, and from 2020 to 2021, the price has increased fivefold. A study on copper commissioned by the International Copper Association (ICA) shows that by 2030, more than 250,000 tons of copper per year will be used as part of the windings in electric traction motors in electric vehicles on the road. The increase in copper demand follows the development of the global automotive market, as electric and plug-in hybrid cars will account for around 19% of the total market by 2030. How is the gap closing?

Alibaba, Hong Lai Huat, Baidu: Asia now in turnaround!
No stocks in 2021 have been under as much pressure as the Asian tech giants. E-commerce giant Alibaba lost a full 50% YOY, while other stocks such as Baidu and Tencent suffered high double-digit losses in some cases. In the US, the stocks that were so popular in the past have been removed from the funds; currently, only tough fans are likely to be invested. Fortunately, the situation has calmed down somewhat in recent weeks. Even the Chinese regulator gradually realizes that the heavy monitoring of its industry is extremely slowing down the growth prospects of its economy. Some analysts have already downgraded China's 2022 to 2025 GDP growth by 1.5 percentage points. We briefly bring you up to date.

Standard Lithium, Defense Metals, Nordex - The demand for metals goes through the roof!
A possible explosion in raw material prices was already indicated in 2019. Due to low selling prices, some mining companies even reduced their mining output or stopped their exploration activities. Then came the pandemic, which put further pressure on both production and logistics, and many operations had to close for longer than expected due to adjustments in sanitation infrastructure. There is now also the supply chain problem in this already tight supply situation. Presumably, things will not get any easier in 2022 under these conditions. Which companies are making a name for themselves in this environment?

Daimler, Daimler Trucks, Ayurcann, TUI: Great yield gifts in the Advent season!
The so-called quiet time before Christmas is often associated with cozy warmth, gingerbread and mulled wine. At the stock exchange, the books of the large investors close and private investors optimize their capital gains tax by the realization of pending losses. Because from a pure tax point of view, losses from private sales transactions can be set off against profits; only the annual residual profit then has to be taxed. As a result, the autumn stock markets are often more stormy than many people think, and there is less of a sense of "quiet time," according to Christian beliefs. We pick out a few pieces of gingerbread!

Steinhoff, Desert Gold, China Evergrande, Wirecard - The penny stock rockets for 2022!
Penny stocks are not only cheap; there are usually also solid reasons why a value has been sold out or has been quoted low. In the case of Australian stocks, a low par value and the issuance of a great many shares are the natural reason for zero comma listings. Canadian explorers also have this quirk, but they often make their share volume more manageable by rolling it back. Investors can only get a concrete indication of "expensive or cheap" by studying the circumstances or closely examining the fundamentals of the Company. Wirecard was once valued at EUR 25 billion. However, after the insolvency announcement, the stock market now realizes that even if some payment licenses are liquidated, there will be nothing left for shareholders. We take a look at three selected stocks.

Tilray, Sativa Wellness, NanoRepro, Valneva - The 2022 health winners
The topic of cannabis ran through all the gazettes in 2018 and 2019. The Netherlands, Canada and 9 US states were the well-known pioneers in cannabis legalization at the time. It is now also to come in Germany - at least that is what the coalition agreement of the government parties says. The debate about the legalization of cannabis has been going on worldwide for several years. For Germany, the traffic light coalition wants to legalize the controlled distribution to adults for consumption purposes. In this way, they say, licensing the sale of cannabis would also ensure the protection of minors and prevent the spread of contaminated substances. The industry briefly cheered with share price increases but then returned to normal. We take a look at key industry players.

Royal Dutch, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP: The best oil stocks for 2022!
At the beginning of the Corona pandemic in 2020, the OPEC+ alliance had cut daily production by around 9.7 million barrels. This managed to support oil prices, which had fallen below USD 40 due to the slump in the global economy. In the meantime, the oil tap has been gradually turned back on to moderate the rise in oil prices. The production cut is currently being lifted by 400,000 barrels per month. The cartel is currently supplying about 27 million barrels to the market, which is significantly less than before the pandemic. The current 12% price collapse in November came as quite a surprise to OPEC. However, experts believe that in 2022 there will again be an increased demand for oil. We analyze the most interesting producers.

E.ON, Memiontec, Nordex, Siemens Energy - Well supplied with water, wind and sun!
Utility stocks led a shadowy existence for a long time. Too little sexy, too little growth! But with the political closing of ranks in Glasgow, the tide has turned worldwide in favor of climate investments. Again, it is about the old discussions on coal and a nuclear phase-out in exchange for the further expansion of renewable energies such as water, wind and sun. However, there are already 30,000 wind turbines in Germany with a combined capacity of 56 gigawatts and another 60 gigawatts of installed photovoltaic peak capacity, which already replaces a good 80 nuclear power plants - if the wind blows constantly and the sun shines properly. Who else can grow in this environment?

Standard Lithium, Triumph Gold, American Lithium, Alpha Lithium - Is lithium the new gold?
The last quarter of 2021 is clearly dominated by the star "lithium". In the fall of 2020, all battery metals exploded after Tesla's Battery Day; this year, the political shifts towards red-green ignited the rocket for the "climate protection hype", at least in Central Europe. Gold took a back seat in this techno-hype because no one needed to hedge in this environment. However, this is surprising since the ECB announced a record inflation rate of plus 5.2%. We take a look at a selection of gold-modified stocks.
