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.

Black Week sales, Bitcoin flop, DAX steady – another interest rate cut? Almonty, Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
And up it goes again! It is the season of rising prices. After the widely expected autumn correction turned out to be very mild, many investors believe: That is it! True to the motto "Buy every dip!", they are piling back into the order books. Too few shares are available, so should investors continue buying at high prices? Caution is advised with some stocks. The euphoria surrounding the IPO of thyssenkrupp's marine subsidiary TKMS has completely evaporated, and investors in Düsseldorf-based defense group Rheinmetall are taking profits on a larger scale for the first time. After all, if the war in Ukraine ends, the rearmament cycle could slow down. We will guide you through the Advent bargain hunt!

Prices down on Black Friday? SAP and Palantir consolidate, UMT with a strong concept, Deutsche Telekom still cheap!
Nervousness is mounting - as seen in volatility indices, which have risen from 15 to just over 20. As is so often the case in the fall, uncertain forecasts for economic development are causing considerable fluctuations in the stock markets. This is because much remains unclear. Will Trump's tariffs have a positive effect on the US economy, or will courts roll everything back to its original state? How will the situation in Ukraine evolve? Will Germany manage the economic and societal turnaround? These are all reasons why it makes sense to start the new year with fewer stocks. Because, as always, January means back to square one – and a new game! We offer some tips for portfolio optimization.

AI, Bitcoin, and e-mobility in the eye of the storm! Opportunities at BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and Strategy
It is not just the stock markets that are running at full throttle! On days when Nvidia reports its quarterly figures, investors' nerves are on edge, and global power infrastructures are pushed to their limits. That is because the whole world is watching the pioneer of AI infrastructure, which briefly crossed the USD 5 trillion valuation mark in October before slipping back toward USD 4.5 trillion. Since then, trading in AI-related stocks on the NASDAQ has been dominated by profit-taking. The one-way rally appears to be losing momentum, but then again, it has been around for three years now. Amid this consolidation, three stocks in AI, battery materials, and e-mobility are offering attractive entry points. Read on to discover where new opportunities may emerge.

Exploding commodity prices meet NASDAQ hysteria! Nordex, European Lithium, Siemens Energy, and Standard Lithium in focus
Metals, hi-tech, and defense - an explosive mix! All three of these industrial sectors are facing serious challenges. The scarcity of critical raw materials from a limited number of sources is leading to sharp price increases and jeopardizing important supply chains. Europe is responding with a collective rethink, as dependence on rare metals such as lithium and rare earths is increasingly becoming a strategic and political risk. A disruption in supply could abruptly halt the market penetration of electric vehicles. The recent extreme rise in raw material prices is driving companies such as European Lithium and Standard Lithium through the roof, while buyers of critical metals such as Nordex and Siemens Energy are finding themselves in difficulty. We shed some light on the situation!

AI mania, critical metals, and gold! Keep an eye on blockbuster stocks such as BASF, RZOLV Technologies, and Barrick Mining
The breathtaking advances in high-tech and artificial intelligence require a strong focus on raw materials companies in order to provide the necessary strategic metals in a timely manner. Securing supply chains is all the more important for Western industries because the availability of raw materials is subject to geopolitical skirmishes between some countries that still control the decisive masses in critical areas. This is particularly true for China and Russia. If nothing arrives in the West, production lines come to a standstill or company managers have to accept expensive detours. For equity investors, it is always worthwhile to take a clear look at the key levers. However, the focus is also on the manufacturing processes.

Trump makes peace – Maybe? Strong profit prospects for BYD, Pasinex Resources, and DroneShield
In the daily battle for returns, selecting the right assets is becoming increasingly complex. Markets have risen sharply despite the generally sluggish sentiment in global economies. First, there was the celebration of Donald Trump, then the bull market due to lower-than-expected tariffs, and most recently, a super rally in AI and high-tech stocks. Defense and armaments stocks have also been consistently on the shopping list for two years now. After 25 years of disarmament and a 180-degree political shift among left-green parties, defense has suddenly become the cure-all for Western societies. For years, frowned upon and subject to lawsuits in Germany's Constitutional Court, arms exports now appear to represent the highest ethical stage a company can reach. But now a taboo word is making the rounds: "peace." And with that, defense stocks are once again treated like clearance items, and prices are falling. A politically fueled boom and bust cycle at its finest. Rheinmetall is now even included in ESG-oriented funds - what a farce. Very few can still see clearly through this nine-lane highway of contradictions, but we are here to help.

DAX up, NASDAQ down! Automotive sector back in focus with Mercedes-Benz, WashTec, BYD, and VW
The correction in the growth markets continues. Even crypto investors, who are used to success, are now complaining about the pronounced market weakness. November and December are usually good months for the stock market. However, because September and October performed so exorbitantly well, profits are now apparently being taken across the board. For German blue chips, the whole thing has been mild so far, and according to general valuation rules, they also have more room for upward movement. We are diving into the world of electric vehicles and combustion engines, where P/E ratios between 4 and 12 are the norm and real, tangible goods are traded. It is time to put away the AI toys and start the machines.

Peace plan for Ukraine! Losses at Rheinmetall, RENK, and Hensoldt - Are Oklo and Kobo Resources already a buy?
The capital markets are caught in a political squeeze. The billion-dollar announcements for rearmament among NATO states had driven dream-like share price gains at Rheinmetall & Co., in some cases delivering annual returns of over 600%. With the latest publications hinting at potential peace options, however, those days now appear to be over. Investors are suddenly reassessing the overvaluation that has been evident for months and are taking profits. Rheinmetall, in particular, has been unable to reach its high of EUR 2,005 for quite some time. Further turbulence appears to be looming here. At Oklo and Kobo Resources, on the other hand, the correction phases seem to be nearing an end. We go into more detail below.

Bitcoin crashes below USD 90,000, but the Nvidia party continues! Circle, RE Royalties, and Alibaba in focus
Bitcoin is currently showing its weakest side. The much-talked-about cryptocurrency plummeted from USD 112,000 to below USD 90,000 in just a few days. Bitcoin has been repeatedly referred to as a "gold substitute," and its followers even see it as an alternative currency to the inflated FIAT money system, which, in the opinion of the new generation of investors, cannot survive over time anyway. Indeed, the new debt figures for countries are sobering. Germany alone will inject over EUR 1 trillion in new loans into the EU system between 2025 and 2030. Following the end of the US shutdown, experts expect new QE programs, familiar from the last financial crisis starting in 2008, to be launched soon. The financial world is once again standing on shaky ground, making this a time of selection and focus for investors.

The stock market shows gravity! Black Friday prices for Plug Power, dynaCERT, Oklo, and Nel ASA
The stock market is prone to slight corrections. Is this the beginning or just a test of gravity? No one knows for sure, because machines rule the market. They generate automatic buy and sell orders based on trends, order frequency, and daily volume. Currently, it appears that the lower sales by small investors are actually generating further downward momentum. At the same time, the big players have not even considered their positions yet. For the hydrogen sector, the sobering results of COP30 in Brazil are decisive. Here, somewhat risky financing models are being discussed, and without the US, it hardly makes sense to join forces.
