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.

Deutsche Telekom, Troilus Gold, Barrick Gold - Time for the safe haven
The world's stock markets are reeling. With inflation on the rise and investors fearing a turnaround in interest rates, the crash prophets are again coming out of their holes. Kiyosaki, Mr.DAX and Co. see themselves confirmed by an impending real-estate bankruptcy rolling towards us from China, triggered by the real estate Company Evergrande. Indeed, stock market barometers are in correction mode, at least in the short term, with the DAX tearing through the psychologically important 15,000-point mark. Meanwhile, another market is in the starting blocks to make a comeback.

Siemens Energy, Memiontec, Bayer - GreenTech is making the rounds!
For many people, water is as valuable as gold. Most of the water on our planet, more than 97%, is saltwater. And humans and animals cannot drink that because salt extracts water from the body, you would inevitably dehydrate. Freshwater is distributed unevenly on earth because it is predominantly found in forests and high mountains, and corresponding rainfall is the order of the day. The little freshwater there would be enough for all people - if it were evenly distributed on earth. Developing countries often lack the money to build sewage treatment plants to purify dirty or bacteria-contaminated water. Worldwide, about 4,000 children die every day because they drink contaminated water and become very sick. A reason to act as soon as possible!

China Evergrande, Troilus Gold, Daimler, BP - With quality against the crash!
In strongly fluctuating markets, good advice is expensive. China Evergrande has divested itself of a bank stake in order to refinance its obligations. Some will say this is already getting down to the wire. China's real estate markets appear to be in serious trouble. We hear little about the default payments to foreign investors, and domestic investors have probably received their interest late. Everything is in the balance here. Meanwhile, the Bund future falls below the critical 170 mark, which means that the European bond markets also suffer from a slight withdrawal of confidence. We look at some standard stocks with high content.

TeamViewer, Silver Viper, Nordex: Please board - the train is departing!
Uncertainty and high volatility! After months of upswing on the capital markets, an uneasy feeling is setting in among investors due to some imponderables in China. The coefficient of fluctuation, expressed by the VDAX and VIX, skyrocketed from values around 17 to 25 early this week. It does not mean much for ordinary investors, but the cost of hedging increases for institutional investors, and those who want to lower the risk a bit have to adjust the investment ratio accordingly. All this is still happening in a relatively stable environment because those who want to get out can still sell at good prices. Where should one look closely now?

Allianz, MAS Gold, Alibaba, Tencent - Better get the sheep in the dry!
The gold price fluctuates with every political news as rarely before. After a good end to 2020 and a conciliatory May, it has been going down again since summer. After USD 2,074 last year, we are already USD 340 lower today, although the political and economic stability has deteriorated. The reason for this is that since the beginning of the pandemic, public budgets have undergone a veritable debt explosion. Inflation is now palpable, and this would be the breeding ground for a value-preserving precious metal investment. Are there other safe havens besides gold?

BYD, Fisker, Kodiak Copper, Varta: Nothing works without Copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it the research, development and production of drives, batteries and components. In addition to electricity storage, however, vehicle cabling and the assembly of e-components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires three to four times the amount of copper as it did 20 years ago, plus the demand in industrial manufacturing processes. The earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much on the edge. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. Rising prices!

Standard Lithium, Defense Metals, Orocobre, Millennial Lithium: Separating the wheat from the chaff!
Lithium has become one of the most important metals in electromobility. Where all this lithium will come from is critical, as the logic behind electromobility is to generate more sustainable technologies. For more climate protection, mining companies must also fit into a sustainable concept. Lithium extraction should therefore follow high environmental standards and take place in an appropriate economic and social context. But beware: the overall market has recently stopped following every battle cry. Separating the wheat from the chaff is becoming a portfolio challenge!

Central African Gold, TUI, Lufthansa - Attention, these were the lows!
The upward movement at the stock exchanges is very advanced because, in the last years, the higher valuation of the shares (and real estate) was funded by cheap money from the central banks. Now, however, inflation shows up in the statistics, for Europe officially a plus of 3,8%. This inflation rate, by its measuring method, corresponds little to reality. It is generally known, the actual price markup in the relevant goods might already lie beyond the 5% mark. One thinks here only of the exploding gasoline prices, the bread roll at the baker or the restaurant attendance after the reopening. Precious metals could be a tried and tested means of achieving real purchasing power protection. Let us do the math.

Tencent, Memiontec, Gazprom - Buy when the cannons are firing!
The last few trading days have been dominated by the scandal surrounding China Evergrande. To take pressure off the markets, the management and China's central bank have reacted accordingly and presented measures. The highly indebted real estate company has probably reached an agreement with domestic creditors regarding the outstanding interest payments. No mention was made of offshore liabilities. The People's Bank of China has reportedly injected 90 to 110 billion yuan, the equivalent of just under 14 billion euros, into the banking system in an attempt to calm investors' nerves. Nightingale, "we" hear you galumph!

BIGG Digital Assets, Bitcoin Group, Coinbase - Invest in the future with crypto!
The crypto world is developing rapidly and with volatility. In the last few weeks, Bitcoin released another wave upwards, and the benchmark coin was worth a whole USD 50,000 again. However, it did not reach its old high of USD 60,000 in the first swing. Then followed the abrupt crash below USD 40,000 within 24 hours. Time and again, disruptive fire comes from China; the regulators have their eye on the miners and tend to want to ban crypto trading. The reasoning: The trades are opaque, enable criminal payments and lead to unwanted shifts in people's wealth. We take a look at companies that are doing well with the crypto world so far.
