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.

Warning: Central Banks, Debt and Gold to the Rescue! Why Smart Investors Are Buying Barrick, Newmont and Lahontan Gold
Inflation above 3% and the world is coming apart at the seams! Central banks, in particular, find themselves in a bind, as they cannot lower interest rates indefinitely to combat inflation without jeopardizing the global financial system. At the same time, government debt in many industrialized nations is reaching historic highs, which massively undermines confidence in unbacked fiat currencies in the long term. Against this fragile economic backdrop, gold is once again taking center stage as the ultimate safe haven and proven hedge against the loss of purchasing power. Savvy investors are recognizing the signs of the times and strategically shifting capital into the precious metals sector to protect their wealth. Major producers such as Barrick Mining and Newmont, with their efficient cost structures and strong operational foundations, provide a solid basis for an investment portfolio and pay generous dividends. For risk-conscious investors seeking above-average growth potential, smaller exploration companies such as Lahontan Gold offer an intriguing complement. Let's run the numbers.

250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus
When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.
