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.

TUI, Aspermont, Lufthansa - Hard hit by the Ukraine crisis, but there is hope!
Putin's attack against the free democratic basic order will have far-reaching consequences. He will go down in the history books as a warmonger and aggressor; as far as Western politicians of character are concerned, he will be burned for years to come. The Russian leader is paying a high humanitarian and economic price for marking the border between East and West. Its own population is the main loser. NATO never posed a threat, as it is a defense pact. Warlike actions have been far from the West for years, and there is no reaction on this side. Freedom and democracy are difficult to preserve for Ukraine, but one should not throw in the towel too soon. The following values have fallen by the wayside, but they will take off again when the situation calms down.

Ukraine crisis: ThyssenKrupp, BMW, Almonty Industries - Critical metals soon sold out!
Day 7 of the invasion: With Putin's invasion of peaceful neighbor Ukraine, world politics has changed ad hoc. With a shocked look at the humanitarian suffering, Western countries are moving closer together, sanctions against the aggressor are being implemented quickly, and military solidarity is beginning to manifest. Now Turkey has also closed the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to warships. The extreme increase in the price of energy is driving up inflation and causing problems for the mining industry. The shortage is being felt around the world. How are companies coping with this challenging environment? We take a look at some interesting examples.

Deutsche Bank, Raiffeisen International, wallstreet:online AG, flatexDEGIRO - Vladimir, here we go!
With huge turnover on the stock markets, the international investment community now has to incorporate the Russia risk into their investment strategy. As a result, the capital markets are experiencing strong fluctuations, and no one really knows where things are headed. In addition, the highest inflation since 1990 has sent oil and gold prices soaring. Suddenly, Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos can also benefit because cash is running low in Ukraine and Russia. After all, the Russian ruble has lost 50% of its value within 48 hours, so even exchanging it for other currencies will be painful for the population. Inflation had fully impacted assets in 2021/22, with techno stocks, commodities and real estate rising the most. We look at interesting stocks with price discounts.

Gazprom, BP, Barrick Gold, Ximen Mining - Putin's Ukraine conflict boosts gold and silver!
Over the weekend, the buzzword "mobilization of nuclear weapons" was heard in the media. In the ears of investors, the loud saber-rattling sounded like the starting signal for a gold and silver rally. Events then rolled over in sequence: Russian accounts were frozen, the SWIFT system was disconnected, and there were likely payment difficulties at Sberbank. The sponsorship contract with Gazprom was terminated by Schalke 04 without notice. In this country, people are wondering what medium-term effects the Russian crisis will have on society, the relationship with Russia in general, and the economy. In this context, we are watching a few interesting stocks.

Russia crisis: Plug Power, Nel ASA, First Hydrogen - Which hydrogen stock to buy now?
Buy when the guns are thundering! This stock market wisdom has worked many times before. This time, the chances for a discussion in favor of "alternative energy sources" are excellent because the Russian crisis shows Europe's staggering dependence on fossil fuel energy supply. One of the main suppliers has historically been Russia, and there are virtually no alternatives, especially for the critical natural gas. To avoid getting into a supply bottleneck, the possibilities for extended EU sanctions against Putin are thus also limited. However, the traffic light coalition is unanimous: The development in the direction of hydrogen must get going now to finally get Europe's climate strategy and energy turnaround on track! Here is an overview of the best-positioned titles!

Gazprom, Sberbank, Defense Metals, Airbus: Buy when the cannons thunder!
The Ukraine crisis, or rather the Russia crisis, pulls its circles. The Putin case escalates more and more because the Russian president recognizes the eastern Ukrainian "separatist areas" of Donetsk and Luhansk as autonomous regions. A familiar tactics game of the Kremlin and at the same time an affront to the West. The EU and the US, as well as Great Britain and other states, are responding with sanctions. These hit several sectors - including banks and companies as well as Russian elites and families who support Putin's power apparatus. So far, trading in Russian stocks has not been sanctioned, creating low entry prices. We give a few important tips away from politics!

BYD, Nio, Nordex, Phoenix Copper: Nothing works without copper!
Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transportation. And with it, the research and development of drives, batteries and power-saving components. However, in addition to electricity storage, vehicle cabling and the fitting of high-tech components are also coming to the fore. Today, an electric vehicle requires 3 to 4 times as much copper as it did 20 years ago. Still, the earth's deposits are exhaustible, and copper, in particular, is pretty much stretched to the limit. A spot price of just under USD 10,000 per kilo clearly shows how the markets are processing this situation. A current conflict, such as Ukraine, provides additional fuel and further rising prices! Where are the opportunities?

BioNTech, Moderna, Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics: The gold rush is over!
The mild progression of the Omicron variant and the associated massive relaxations of the Corona measures in many countries weighs heavily on the prospects of the vaccine manufacturers. That is because the winter is drawing to a close, clinical shortages are not occurring, and vaccination rates do not want to increase despite massive public campaigns. Meanwhile, even those in power realize that enforcing a general vaccination requirement could become a hot legal ride under the current circumstances. For the biotech sector and vaccine producers, in particular, this is a reason for profit-taking for the time being. Here are a few further ideas.

Varta, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - The demand for lithium is going through the roof!
E-mobility is permanently changing today's automotive industry. More and more electrified passenger cars are finding their way onto our roads, and the growth prospects for this booming industry are expected to improve even further in the coming years in light of increasing climate concerns. The Boston Consulting Group estimates that electric cars will account for 47% of global markets by 2025, up from 12% in 2020 - that is a very bold forecast! But it does show a way forward. Thanks to the accelerated acceptance of environmentally friendly vehicles among consumers, one metal, in particular, is moving into the spotlight: lithium. And it is here that investors should pay attention.

Palantir Technologies, Kleos Space, TeamViewer - The next data hype is coming!
In a political conflict like the current one between Russia-Ukraine and the rest of the world, the availability of accurate movement data would be a real asset. However, military data is guarded by governments like a holy grail - especially troop movement data is a hot commodity. In terms of consumer tracking and communications, data is already the most important element of the digitized world. What matters is when what content is seen on which channels and who is sitting in front of the end device. Here is a selection of data specialists with distinctive entry points.
