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.

Nel ASA, Nordex, Nevada Copper, Siemens Energy: Energy Crisis 3.0 - Copper is the solution!
The copper market is constantly on the move. Along with Shanghai and New York, the London Metal Exchange (LME) is now one of the world's largest metal trading centers. In Europe, the LME is the benchmark for copper prices and metal trading. In contrast to other exchanges, part of the trading is still done by call and floor trading by brokers in an open ring. The LME copper contract is the second-largest exchange-traded contract on the London Metal Exchange. The demand volume for copper has been at a very high level since 2018, currently even at a 25-year high. Last week, prices came under slight pressure as the specter of recession flew through the trading halls. Where are the biggest opportunities at the moment?

Turnaround stocks: BYD, JinkoSolar, MAS Gold, Nordex - Watch out for China & Tesla!
After China's foreign trade initially suffered heavily from the consequences of imposed lockdowns, the country now seems to be recovering. Thus, the current export figures are much higher than expected. However, unstable supply chains and high inflation rates continue to put pressure on international trade. Against the backdrop of a somewhat more stable pandemic situation, however, China's foreign trade grew faster than expected in May. Exports from the second-largest economy rose 16.9% YOY to USD 308.3 billion. Against this backdrop, China stocks are back on the buy list. We take a closer look!

Split fantasy: Amazon, Aspermont, Alibaba, Tencent - After the sell-off is before the rally!
In bull market movements, shares become more and more expensive. Private small investors simply cannot afford an Amazon share at USD 3,000 and stay away as investors. US technology stocks, therefore, often use a trick: The SPLIT! In the case of Amazon, the investor receives a further 19 shares booked into the securities account in addition to a share held. In purely arithmetical terms, this does not make the Company cheaper, but in purely visual terms, the value is 95% cheaper than before the split. In most cases, the share price rises again very quickly because smaller tranches can now be transacted on the stock exchange again. But it is not always like this. In this context, we are looking at other tech titles with more than 100% potential.

Rheinmetall, Thyssen, Defense Metals, Airbus: Fighting the war with these blockbuster shares
The German government has reaffirmed the need for a powerful army and anchored the 100 billion euro special fund in the constitution before the Whitsun recess. The reason why the Basic Law had to be used for this was supposedly due to the budget issue because the red and green members of the government, in particular, do not want the general budget to be diminished by defense spending. Now it is here again, the reversal of the "peace dividend"; for many years, Germany in particular was able to profit from the reduction in defense spending. NATO welcomes the German decisions and now sees Germany as a paying "full partner" again. This also finally puts to rest Trump's demand for Berlin to contribute more to NATO peacekeeping costs. Where are the opportunities for investors now?

Gold comes back: B2Gold, Desert Gold, Barrick Gold - The year of acquisitions!
The ever-increasing inflation is on everyone's lips. A stick of butter, for example, has risen in price from an average of EUR 1.30 in 2020 to now EUR 2.60. A blatant example of 100% inflation within just two years. Typically, prices rise in a market economy when there is more demand than supply. There can be two reasons for this. Either demand increases faster than supply or supply decreases more than demand. This can be the result of production stoppages, for example. Wars or catastrophes are often responsible for this. However, inflation can also set in when central banks excessively increase the money supply, which was the case between 2008 and 2022. In the past, precious metals were always well suited to compensate for losses in purchasing power and moved upwards in line with the money supply. This process could now begin.

Plug Power, Siemens, Triumph Gold - These stocks will outperform Tesla!
In times of high inflation and further rising interest rates, good advice is expensive for investors. Looking back at the correction that has already taken place in the stock markets, there could well be a stronger technical recovery at some point, but in our view, this would be more of a Bear market rally in the beginning economic downturn. The pressure comes via the long-term capital market interest rate, which gives investors high losses in bonds, but at the same time, offers new yield opportunities to those who shift out of the stock market. Historically, large interest rate increases are therefore accompanied by stock market losses. Here are three examples of stocks that could still be in demand in the next upward cycle.

Watch out: BioNTech, NervGen, MorphoSys, Valneva: Biotech shares in check!
The initial sell-off in biotech stocks seems to have been digested. With last week's NASDAQ turn, spring air is now moving through the stock markets again. That is because many investors realize that, in the face of a multitude of new diseases, a major research effort is needed to protect humanity from the burgeoning dangers. Financing via the stock market was correspondingly easy for the biotech giants during the last pandemic because investors sensed big profits in the event of success. This picture is likely to repeat itself in the next movement. Where are the current opportunities in the biopharma sector?

Turnaround stocks: Amazon, TUI, Desert Gold, Deutsche Bank - Easily 100% in it!
Fearing Western expropriation, the Russian oligarchs are trying to bring their belongings to safety. Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, they have lost access to their luxury yachts, real estate and other assets with a total value of about EUR 10 billion. A good 2.3 billion of this comes from the EU's securing of the ostentatious ships owned by oligarchs close to the Kremlin. In order to locate the valuable goods for insurance purposes, all vessels over 300 gross tons would have to be equipped with a GPS tracker. These systems are now being uninstalled one after the other, as the owners hope to save their ships undetected in friendly waters. Meanwhile, asset shifts in the capital markets continue briskly, with Bitcoin weak, bonds beginning to stabilize, and stocks testing the first countermovement. Gold is also looking good technically. We go in search of prime turnaround opportunities.

Infineon, BrainChip, Daimler, Volkswagen - High-tech stocks at their best!
The global automotive business is operating according to new laws. That is because e-mobility is a done deal, and if politicians' pronouncements are anything to go by, combustion engines will be history from 2030. As a result, the prerequisites for the industry are also changing because intelligent and powerful chips remain the basis for the further development of future mobility. Supply chains and Chinese reliability are still a problem, and high raw material prices will not make the new vehicles any cheaper. Innovations could be an effective means of combating the erosion of margins. Who is ahead in the market of high-tech players?

Share sell-off: TUI, Barsele Minerals, Nel ASA - Buy or sell these stocks?
The sell-off in equities entered a new round in May. With rising inflation, disrupted supply chains and uncertain energy supplies, the risk for investors is increasing as interest rates are now exploding to unprecedented levels in parallel with the highly volatile environment. The 10-year yields on government bonds in Germany and the USA have moved up from near zero to 1.14% and from 1.5% to 3.12%, respectively. Whenever there was a noticeable rise in interest rates for bonds, things became critical on the stock market. At the moment, this is weighing on technology stocks in particular. The DAX and S&P have already lost 20% in the current correction phase. After initial losses, gold is now accelerating. Where are the opportunities for investors?
