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.

Greentech in focus: BASF, Meta Materials, Nordex, JinkoSolar - Invest now in the Climate Action Plan 2.0!
In the daily press, in addition to the terrible images from Ukraine, we are also occupied with unresolved questions about the energy industry of the future. It has been decided that the path will lead via innovations and renewable energies, but the underlying pace will not be sufficient for a quick turnaround. Moving away from the internal combustion engine is just as much a matter for discussion as condemning nuclear energy. Resourceful researchers are therefore developing new ideas for technological concepts that will change vast areas of life. However, implementing the solutions will cost a lot of money and require scarce raw materials. What should investors be focusing on at the moment?

Nuclear power, yes please! GoviEx Uranium, Rheinmetall, BYD, NIO - Important power for e-mobility!
Currently, 47 nuclear reactors in the Chinese pipeline are scheduled to come on stream within the next eight to ten years. In a global comparison, this puts Beijing at the top of the international planning list, followed by Russia and India. At last count, four nuclear power plants were under construction worldwide in 2020. In Germany, electricity generation from renewable energies continues to increase every year, while the electricity yield generated with the help of nuclear power continues to fall. This increases the costs for the German energy supply more and more, but the Berlin traffic lights are not interested in this. According to announcements by the German government, all nuclear reactors are to be shut down by April 2023 as part of the energy transition. What do investors need to pay attention to now?

A 100% rocket launched - Who builds the best battery? Tesla, First Phosphate, BASF and Varta
The Tesla investor day is getting closer. On March 01, the eccentric visionary Elon Musk will again address his disciples, this time from the new Gigafactory in Austin/Texas. Analysts went into the presentation of the annual figures with cautious expectations because many negative rumors were surrounding Elon Musk's electronics company: Fewer sales? Cars on stockpile? It came as no one had expected. Elon Musk delivered and, at the same time, taunted all the shorties who wanted to push his stock below USD 100 before the end of the year. It was a big mistake because the Texans even exceeded the analysts' estimates, and then there was no stopping them. Up 100% in only 6 weeks, and Cathie Wood can celebrate success with her ARK funds again. But Tesla is not alone among the 100% movers.

Rising interest rates, rising margins: Steinhoff, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank - Watch closely!
In the coming weeks, the moment of truth will strike for the national central banks of the eurozone because 20 years of money printing is taking its toll in the form of billions in losses. The respective state coffers will not only miss out on dividend payments but could even need capital injections. Bloomberg points to this development. The Swiss National Bank already made a start in February with a record write-down of 132 billion francs. The markets are now eagerly looking to the ECB and the US Fed. Incidentally, the taxpayer is liable for the central bank's balance sheet imbalances. If the write-downs on the bond holdings due to the quantitative easing of recent years exceed the equity capital, the member states are threatened with payment obligations. It would be a surprise if gold did not react positively to such news.

Which stocks to get into now? Alphabet, Amazon, Aspermont and Alibaba under the magnifying glass!
Well, things turned out differently than expected! In the fall of 2022, the spectre of crisis made the rounds again several times. The forecasters overlapped in their assessment of the economic downturn. The reason was the strong inflation and the associated loss of purchasing power. But now: Where is inflation heading in 2023? In order to answer this question, it is helpful to look back to the period after the oil crisis in 1973. As was the case then, an energy price correction is to be expected today. Gas, meanwhile, has already fallen almost unnoticed to a 17-month low. Unfortunately, the Berlin traffic lights have already covered Germany's energy needs at peak prices, which is now blowing up people's utility bills. However, falling inflation also leads to lower interest rates, boosting growth stocks in particular. We take a look at important protagonists.

The Greentech rally continues: Shares of ThyssenKrupp, Manuka Resources, BYD and Varta in focus
The pessimists among economists were proven wrong at the beginning of the year. No, the German GDP did not fall in 2022, but rose by a full 1.9%. Who would have thought that with the supply chain problems, growth would be possible at all? Due to the war in Ukraine, rising energy prices and record inflation, economic regeneration in 2022 turned out surprisingly better than expected. This is due to various special effects, such as restructuring our energy supply, which positively affected the German economy. So far, there has also been no gas emergency, which would have weighed heavily on industry. We look at opportunities in the emerging Greentech industry.

Attention. Climate and Tech Rally 3.0 continues - Are Alibaba, PayPal, Alpina Holdings and TUI in the Champions League?
The year is only just six weeks old, and already big winners can be spotted on the stock market. The correction of tech stocks in 2022 prompted many investors to open a new bet in 2023, and they were broadly right. Tesla is up 100%, Alibaba is up 80%, and Infineon is at least 50% higher. The IPO of Ionos has not been convincing so far, and as is well known, what is not can still be because the share is not expensive. We go in search of the next climbers.

Super Bowl spoils Tesla's bullish mood: Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel, ThyssenKrupp - Hydrogen is taking off!
In a true football thriller, the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated their opponents Philadelphia Eagles, just before the end of the game. But it was not just on the field that fans were treated to a spectacle. The commercials during the billion-dollar live broadcast were also eye-catchers, as they are every year. One Super Bowl commercial was a good fight against Tesla's "Full Self Driving" (FSD) mode. Software entrepreneur Dan O'Dowd invested a total of USD 598,000 in his "Dawn Project" campaign. According to its homepage, its goal is to make computers safer for humanity. In the case of Tesla's FSD installations, the campaign sees this as not guaranteed and even judges them to be life-threatening for other road users. From Tesla's side, the content of the commercial was described as "fake". Exciting to see how this case will turn out. We turn away from e-mobility and look at the opportunities for hydrogen.

Election winners in the fight against cancer! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon, Valneva - 300% rises are possible!
In 2021, 18.7 million people received the shocking diagnosis of "cancer". Current trends, unfortunately, suggest that this number will continue to rise in the coming years. Thanks to growing research successes, however, there is hope that biotechnology will make it much more likely that sufferers will survive. It is a matter of developing suitable active substances or launching modern therapies. Recently, mRNA technology has also been making a name for itself in cancer prevention. Innovative biotech companies are back on the radar of risk-conscious investors. Which shares are currently in the spotlight?

E-mobility 2023: The Tesla hunters are coming! BYD, Lucid Motors, Tocvan Ventures. Will the Varta share now also fly?
It Is hard to believe! The Tesla share is once again making a name for itself. Analysts went into the presentation of the annual figures with cautious expectations because there were many negative rumors surrounding Elon Musk's electronics company: Fewer sales? Cars on stockpile? Again, it came as no one had expected it. Elon Musk delivered and simultaneously mocked all the shorties who wanted to push his stock below USD 100 at the turn of the year. This gambit went badly wrong because Tesla was able to deliver even better figures than expected, and there was no stopping the share. With plus 70% in only 4 weeks, the Tesla share belongs to the shooting stars since the turn of the year - the short sellers must have lost their desire completely. But the variety of interesting shares is significant. Where are the opportunities for e-investors lurking?
