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.

IPO Instead of Power Outages? Energy Stocks Like Siemens Energy, A.H.T. Syngas, OHB, and SpaceX Are Taking Off
Germany remains one of the most reliable countries in Europe when it comes to electricity supply; in 2024, the average outage duration was 11.7 minutes per end user. This shows that, on average, power outages in Germany are rare and usually brief, even though there are regional differences. For investors, everything has revolved around availability and efficiency in the energy sector since the massive increase in electricity consumption driven by AI data centers. This is where companies like Siemens Energy come into focus, as the modernization of energy infrastructure and the growing complexity of the power grid require significant expertise. In addition to the Munich-based company, A.H.T. Syngas also has innovative concepts to excel in an energy-policy-driven environment. Those looking for high-energy systems might also be interested in further developments at OHB and SpaceX. Is this rally still on solid ground?

Software Stocks Are Dominating the AI Cycle: SAP, ServiceNow, Oracle, and Globex Mining Are in Higher Demand Than Ever!
Just one month ago, software stocks were in the midst of a sell-off. SAP hit a low of EUR 135, Oracle also hit USD 135 in April, and ServiceNow did not stop until USD 81, after the stock had traded above USD 230. All irrational? It could be, because the market recognizes that the "established players in the sector," unlike pure-play AI companies, possess the critical data infrastructure. With this foundation, generative and "agentic AI" can be integrated into real business processes, thereby generating recurring revenue. Analysts now view these software stocks as "winners of the next AI phase" because they combine scalable AI solutions with established customer relationships, offering both short-term cash flows and long-term growth potential. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.

Stock Market Rotation Beyond AI: Opportunities in MustGrow, Bayer, and Novo Nordisk; Caution with K+S
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
A shift in perspective remains the order of the day. Yesterday, the ECB met to discuss the current situation regarding inflation and interest rates. With an inflation rate of over 3% in Europe, there is likely no room for downward interest rate adjustments—quite the opposite! The 10-year yield on German government bonds has settled near the 3% mark over the past four weeks, while in the US, the 30-year yield is already above 5%. In the past, these were warning signs for a currently well-valued NASDAQ, as the so-called trailing P/E ratio has soared from 28 to 36. Growth companies, mostly financed through equity, thrive on tech euphoria, whereas capital-intensive industries, such as the life sciences sector, face a different situation. For example, Bayer and Novo Nordisk do not require market financing, as they hold large cash reserves. In the case of K+S, the ability to pass on prices to end customers could lead to rising cash flows, while the Canadian company MustGrow has only recently raised funds and is steadily continuing its rollout in the US. Mid-term investors should focus on sector rotation when tech momentum fades. The chances of a revival in neglected sectors look strong!

Are AI and Data Centers Boosting Plug Power and Nel ASA? RE Royalties and Nordex Under the Microscope
Rising oil and gas prices have dominated the stock market landscape in recent months. But now there are signs of a de-escalation in the Middle East. Commodity markets are already pricing in this relief, even though no political solutions have yet been reached. This means a breather for the recent winners and a chance for fresh investor capital to flow into stocks that have not yet seen their run. "Sustainable energy production" is a buzzword, because in wind energy, for example, it is highly controversial whether the widespread destruction and densification of open spaces and forests makes a positive contribution overall—especially now that a costly electricity surplus has emerged, which taxpayers must subsidize due to long-term funding commitments to investors. The production of green hydrogen is even viable at high energy prices, but in the long term, the technology must become at least 50% cheaper. At the center of these developments is RE Royalties with an innovative financing approach that supports energy projects. We delve a little deeper.

Chip Sector High-Flyers in the New Tech Gold Rush – Where to Invest Now? AMD, Infineon, SpaceX, or DRC Gold
The stock market takes no prisoners. Anyone currently invested in the semiconductor sector is on cloud nine and can hardly imagine the trend reversing. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) provides a useful benchmark for assessing the sector's momentum. Since the start of the year, it has risen from around 3,500 points to more than 12,800 points (+265%). This bears a strong resemblance to the gold price rally between 2023 and 2026, when the precious metal surged from USD 1,650 to USD 5,400 (+227%). As always, it is important to keep the broader backdrop in mind. At present, markets are pricing in supply shortages, but should the Iran conflict end, this assessment could quickly lose steam, and market excesses would then need to be corrected. Gold and silver may provide a good example. Following the irrational rally in the first quarter of 2026, both markets have entered a noticeable consolidation phase. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the underlying dynamics and investment opportunities.

A High-Tech Revival and Gold Stock with a 500% Chance! SAP, Oracle, Desert Gold, Deutsche Telekom, and T-Mobile US
The stock markets continue their roller-coaster ride. No wonder, since amid the current, sometimes confusing flood of news, one fact is often overlooked: wars and geopolitical tensions stifle economic growth and unsettle consumers. Although the defence industry is swamped with orders, the rest of the economy is grappling with the consequences of these conflicts: high energy prices, uncertainty, and fragile supply chains. With governments' exploding borrowing needs and falling tax revenues, interest rates are now rising noticeably, which is further fueling inflation. In this environment, gold can thrive; from a purely technical perspective, a solid floor now appears to have been established at USD 4,500. SAP and Oracle have so far lagged behind the major AI and high-tech rally, and Deutsche Telekom has been trading 30% higher, a good reason for a few deeper insights.

NATO Drones 3.0 – The US and Europe Go Full Throttle! Volatus Aerospace Takes the Driver's Seat
The ongoing geopolitical escalation continues to push the defence sector to its limits. The reason is clear: the global security architecture is changing at breakneck speed, as modern conflicts increasingly demonstrate the critical importance of autonomous systems. In the field of unmanned aerial systems, momentum has noticeably accelerated over recent months. Particularly significant is the US Department of Defence's recent invitation to the Phase II qualification round of the multi-billion-dollar "Drone Dominance Program," in which only selected vendors are permitted to compete under real-world operational conditions. The program is viewed within industry circles as a potential starting signal for the next major investment cycle in the Western drone and defence market. Volatus Aerospace is already attracting the attention of forward-looking investors. Should the company also successfully position itself in the US market, it could strategically move into an entirely new league. Further acquisitions are also a realistic possibility.

Defence Stocks in a Race Against Time: Are Rheinmetall, Strategic Resources, CSG, and RENK Still a Buy?
The bull run in defence and military stocks lasted nearly four years. At their peak, some stocks were valued at 10 times revenue, with P/E ratios reaching 100. Currently, however, a shift in thinking is taking place, as the contracting nations are heavily indebted and cannot simply keep increasing their defence budgets after the generous adjustments they have already made. This partly explains the recent dip in the sector's stock prices. Yet the stock market is playing out this theme across multiple channels. Defence stocks benefit in the long term from higher government spending, while commodity markets—particularly for steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and specialty chemicals—must respond to the higher underlying demand. At the same time, fiscal burdens are rising, so capital markets as a whole must distinguish between security-related demand and growing budget risks. The underlying trend is that inflation is rising due to money supply expansion, with necessary interest rate hikes as a further consequence. How should investors reconcile these trends?

AI data centers need nuclear power — 70-100% more energy by 2050! Spotlight on American Atomics, SAP, and ServiceNow
The global economy is in the midst of a new infrastructure supercycle, in which the new source of productivity is being sought in the widespread use of digitalization and AI. The physical foundations of extensive AI use are creating unprecedented demand for system components related to energy generation and storage. Electricity, grids, cooling, and raw materials—the demand seems endless. Yet just a few years ago, climate goals were still a major concern. With the explosive growth in demand from data centers, not only are energy sources like nuclear power coming to the fore, but also critical metals for turbines, cables, storage systems, and chips. Goldman Sachs expects data center electricity demand to more than double by the end of the decade—a scenario that makes CO₂-free baseload power a matter of strategic survival. Although nuclear power plants have been largely dismissed in the EU, they are once again moving to the center of the debate as reliable electricity suppliers and are becoming serious partners for tech companies. A deeper look is worthwhile.

Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen
At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!
