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.

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.

Is antimony the new tungsten? Why Antimony Resources could become a similar story to Almonty Industries
Out of the niche and into the spotlight! Antimony was considered a forgotten metal for decades until geopolitical upheavals shifted the focus to critical metals. Today, it is at the center of a geopolitical and economic realignment because it is indispensable for numerous high-tech and defense applications. China, a long-time dominant supplier, has drastically restricted its exports, leading to noticeable supply bottlenecks in many industries, from battery production to military equipment, and driving prices to historic levels. These restrictions have destabilized strategic supply chains and prompted Western governments, such as the US, to take massive security measures. Analysts and the media emphasize that this shortage is not just a temporary market phenomenon, but an industrial policy issue that affects production, prices, and investment worldwide. Canadian explorer Antimony Resources is just beginning to tell its story, which in its early stages shows many parallels to Almonty Industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

Iran conflict and oil prices at USD 100? Caution advised for Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
The stock markets are in absolute stress mode! The US dollar has been depreciating for days, silver, gold, and copper are skyrocketing, and yesterday oil also started to rise. The threatening gestures from Washington are slowly making it clear that the number of geopolitical conflicts could even expand to include Iran in the short term. The Pentagon has sent an armada of ships to the Persian Gulf. Just another Donald show? Maybe, but maybe not! On platform X, he makes it unmistakably clear that an intervention in Iran's sovereignty could be imminent at any time. This means absolute "panic mode" for the commodity markets, as Iran produces over 4 million barrels of oil per day, and Western industries fear for their supply chains. We take a look at a few scenarios that are related to this situation in extended mode.

The witch dance continues! Another 100% with TKMS, DroneShield, Pasinex, or the new CSG?
The stock markets are extremely volatile, so it is time to take a closer look at some of the key players. Many investors are now focusing on a scenario of ongoing war. Hardly anyone expects real peace to be achieved, as a recent survey shows: 72% of those surveyed do not expect any of the existing trouble spots to enter a state of peace in 2026. This means that public skepticism is higher than the current "super summit talks" between the superpowers around the globe would suggest. In addition to defense stocks, commodity stocks also remain in a state of constant battle. Scarce metals appear to be becoming even scarcer, judging by the spot price. Anyone looking at the precarious situation in Europe should take a closer look at Pasinex Resources' zinc project. Here are a few tips on how to generate a 100% return.

Silver soon at USD 200? Buying at elevated levels or seizing opportunities with CSG, American Atomics, and Carl Zeiss Jena
After a nervous start to the year, commodities and energy issues are once again firmly in focus on global capital markets. Recent discussions around trade tariffs and geopolitical dependencies, topics that also dominated the World Economic Forum in Davos, have triggered pronounced volatility. At the same time, heightened volatility is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. Whether silver, copper, nickel, lithium, or uranium, these metals are essential for industry, the energy transition, and electromobility. Their growing strategic importance is driving up prices and increasingly acting as an inflationary force in Western economies. The underlying factors include disrupted supply chains, export-policy uncertainties, and a tight structural supply deficit. In China, for example, solar module manufacturers are reportedly beginning to stockpile silver, as physical material is becoming increasingly difficult to source. As a result, the price of silver has multiplied within just one year, and physical demand now significantly exceeds global annual production. Investors should take note.

Stock markets under pressure! High momentum expected for Siemens Energy, Pure One Corp., and E.ON
After months of back and forth, there was a shift in investors' sector choices at the start of 2026. The popular tech stocks that were the top performers in 2025 have largely been sidelined, while the commodities, energy, and defense sectors are experiencing a significant rally. The World Economic Forum in Davos did not bring any major news for the economy. What is becoming clear is that the US is continuing on its harsh course, and the rest of the world must prepare for a scenario of ongoing shortages and fragile supply chains. There is also a noticeable return to fossil fuels, which are needed on a large scale, especially during long, cold winters when the sun and wind are not available. For individual companies, this is a license to print money. For investors, however, the choice remains agonizing.

Stress test: Nuclear power instead of hydrogen? Caution advised with Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Oklo, and Plug Power
"Drill, baby, drill" – that is the loud cry coming from the White House. For the Trump administration, that means quick approvals and a capital-intensive push for fossil fuels. However, it currently seems unclear what will happen with alternative energies. Some of the funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by the previous administration under Joe Biden have not been paid out, and hoped-for public contracts in line with the Paris Climate Agreement are now obsolete due to the absence of the US. However, the shift away from alternative energies has not been communicated very clearly. After all, there is a large following for ESG-compliant energy models, with nuclear energy in particular becoming socially acceptable again as a net-zero source. Where should investors prick up their ears?

Trump 3.0 and gold at USD 5,000! Critical metals continue to skyrocket with Almonty, Rheinmetall, DroneShield, and CSG
US President Donald Trump appeared on the international stage in Davos and triggered mixed reactions. With his well-known "America First" slogan, the most powerful man in the world once again made clear which priorities dominate from a US perspective. For the international community, this reinforces concerns about transatlantic reliability and the growing realization that, in a crisis, countries may increasingly have to rely on their own capabilities when dealing with dictatorships and autocratic systems. This development exemplifies the geopolitical turning point already described by Klaus Schwab in Davos in 2020 as "The Great Reset." Geopolitical uncertainty is giving rise to constraints and unsettled investors. They are increasingly turning to true values, which are believed to lie in the commodities sector. Against this backdrop, critical metals, gold, and silver remain firmly in focus – a trend that has been gaining momentum for weeks. Here are a few tips for risk-conscious investors.

Biotech and life sciences are booming, and now Mercosur is joining the fray! Bayer, MustGrow, Novo Nordisk, and BioNxt Solutions in focus
The 2026 stock market year has a few surprises in store for investors. In addition to a quick resolution to the Greenland dispute, the Mercosur trade agreement with several South American countries is also moving forward. This agreement is particularly significant for the agricultural industry. This global sector of human supply is increasingly characterized by regulatory pressure, which is effectively ending the use of many synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This development is forcing established agricultural companies to integrate effective biological alternatives into their portfolios faster than planned. In this environment, MustGrow Biologics is positioning itself as a strategic technology provider whose active ingredients have already been validated by leading market players. An expanded sector view also covers the life sciences industry with the protagonists Bayer, Novo Nordisk, and BioNxt. Up 50% in just a few weeks, here they are!

Greenland crisis averted! Boom in gold, silver, and critical metals boosts Antimony Resources
Donald, Donald, Donald! What more is there to say? The recent conflict over Greenland is causing considerable unrest in the markets, especially in the defense and raw materials sectors. The palpable tensions between the major powers over influence and resources have led to wild fluctuations in defense stocks and have intensified the psychological pressure to secure critical metals. Many stocks feel like hot potatoes, while others reveal a deeper, more solid upward trend beneath the short-term price movements: the race for strategic raw materials has long since become a geopolitical chess game. The US player sees itself as the queen with a triple life on the chessboard, turning all other participants into obedient pawns. But the day before yesterday came the big castling move, and the fog briefly cleared. Risk-conscious investors should now take a closer look at commodity stocks such as Antimony Resources because this is where the polar bear is raging!

NATO under pressure – Is silver the new gold? Dream returns with Silver North, fresh momentum for Rheinmetall and TKMS
Geopolitical upheavals are exposing deep rifts of trust between the superpowers. The US approach toward Greenland is reminiscent of long-outdated colonial practices and has alienated the political actors involved. As a result of this blunt conduct on the international stage, trust in political institutions is eroding, and long-standing alliance structures are beginning to fall apart. The wobbling of the transatlantic alliance, NATO, marks a new level of tension and escalation. What this means for the capital markets in the short term remains unclear. However, what is already evident is the almost daily appreciation of gold and silver, along with another surge in valuations of defense stocks. A scenario of rising interest rates is also looming on the horizon. None of this is good news, and investors would be well advised to examine their portfolio structures for weaknesses. Here are a few ideas.
