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.

Ukraine: K+S, Bayer, Ximen Mining - Fertilizer shares against the food disaster!
Ukraine is one of the leading export nations of wheat worldwide. However, the so-called "granary of Europe" does not primarily supply European countries because the main customers are mainly in Asia and North Africa. The most important destination for Ukrainian wheat in 2020, for example, was Egypt. The largest amount is transported overland to Odessa, where it is shipped. But now Putin has started bombing the important port city. Diesel and fertilizer are becoming scarce, so it is all the more important that there are Western specialists who are trying to secure a supply of food through special deliveries in fertilizer and technology. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Lithium explosion: BYD, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Explosives for e-mobility!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments seek suitable energy storage. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. In order to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, on the one hand, significantly more environmentally friendly battery production processes are required, as well as a massive increase in performance. The electric boom is thus creating an incredible pull for battery metals, above all, lithium. With a 500% increase in 24 months, the price of the white metal recently reached a new high. But producers are scarce!

Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, wallstreet:online, TeamViewer: Exploding interest rates - look at brokers and financial stocks now!
The ten-year mortgage interest rate perfectly replicates current inflation. Unfortunately, it must be said, home builders must have missed out if they were unable to secure the historic low interest rate from 2021. Throughout last year, the conditions fluctuated between 0.60 and 0.95%. Currently, there is even a 2 before the decimal point. With a credit sum of EUR 500,000 per year, interest is easily EUR 5,000 on top, calculated on the entire running time, the real estate investment increases in price by more than EUR 50,000. And that at prices, which had doubled alone in the last 7 years in the metropolises. Those who now have money on the high side consume it or try their luck on the stock market. Banks and brokers are now back in vogue!

Siemens Healthineers, Perimeter Medical, Siemens, SAP - After BioNTech, now the push for MedTech shares!
The most significant positive share price developments in the last 12 months occurred in the biotech sector, especially among vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech and Moderna. The stock market overlooked that pandemics, and the fight against them, offer short-term profit opportunities. The great battle against widespread diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer or other previously incurable indications progresses steadily. Their diagnosis and treatment require many types of technology, devices, processes, analysis tools, and intelligent software. Some methods certainly deserve the attribute "disruptive technology". We take a look at some blockbusters in the MedTech segment.

Baidu, mm2 Asia, GameStop, AMC - Entertainment shares: After Corona, time to party!
In 2021, no stocks were under as much pressure as the Asian tech giants. E-commerce giant Alibaba, for example, lost a full 50% year-on-year, while other stocks such as Baidu and Tencent suffered high double-digit losses in some cases. The situation has calmed down somewhat in recent weeks. The Chinese regulator is also gradually realizing that the heavy monitoring of its industry is significantly slowing down the growth prospects of its economy. The mood of the American SEC also seems to be brightening again. A delisting of Chinese stocks is probably off the table. We have selected the best stocks.

Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Formycon, NanoRepro: Top Biotech Stocks - Delivering!
Due to various public easing measures, the Corona pandemic is increasingly fading into the background. It has long been a hot ride for the stock market, especially for vaccine producers, but now investors are shifting their focus to other stocks in the biotech segment. After all, there are still many diseases that confront humanity with unresolved mysteries, and the field of human medical research seems endless. We focus on interesting stocks from the sector, which corrected strongly in the wake of the Ukraine downturn but are now trending north again. These trends are still in their infancy.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, CureVac - Stocks with blockbuster potential!
With the Ukraine crisis, international vaccination activity has taken a back seat. The world's northern hemisphere is gearing up for next summer, so flu diseases are also slowly taking a back seat. However, the COVID virus will likely continue to mutate over the summer and will reappear in a new guise in the fall. Germany's maximum vaccination rate of 76% has been reached, with just under a quarter of the population ultimately foregoing vaccination after lengthy public measures. For the major biotech companies, it is now a case of - The country needs new products! There are still many areas of application in the field of mRNA. Which stocks stand out with their pipeline?

Varta, Phoenix Copper, JinkoSolar, Nordex: Numbers upon numbers, where is the explosive?
The copper price reached its preliminary high on March 7, 2022, at around USD 10,730. Since then, we have seen a standard consolidation of 3-4%, which is not an unusual occurrence in the present uptrend. Thus, the coveted metal has exploded by over 100% since the beginning of 2020. Large mining groups and copper mines have often been able to post a multiple of this performance for themselves in the same period. For many market participants, the medium-term upward scenario for the industrial metal remains set. Since the political closing of ranks on e-mobility, demand for copper and battery metals has shot through the roof. Mine operators and governments worldwide are alarmed because the current recoverable capacities cover just 85% of the current year's demand. Who can close the gap?

Attention: BYD, Edgemont Gold, Delivery Hero, MorphoSys - Shares with the highest dynamics!
The intensity of fluctuation on the capital markets remains high. It is measured by volatility indices such as the EU Vola Index or the VIX on the S&P 500. Both indices had risen well above 30 at the beginning of the crisis, with the EU Vola Index even reaching a peak of 43.3% on March 7. At the beginning of the Corona Lockdown in February 2020, this index rose overnight to values of over 70%. Although these volatility coefficients are slowly trending downwards due to political easing tendencies, hedgers on the derivatives markets are pricing volatility into their products at a higher price. So those who are currently trading options may experience their blue miracle with Vola changes overnight. Some stocks have recently jumped in this environment; where are the opportunities?

TUI, ThyssenKrupp, Desert Gold, Barrick Gold - Shares with 100% turnaround potential!
The armed conflict in Ukraine continues to drive inflation. In the US, inflation was recently reported at plus 7.9%, and the yield on the 30-year government bond rose above the magic 2.5% mark last week. For market experts, this heralds the long-term turnaround in interest rates. The Federal Reserve also sees the need for further interest rate steps to ensure monetary stability. These are conceivably bad conditions for the economy because the supply chain issue has already caused growth rates to plummet. Some economists see a slump in the western industrial nations of 4-6% as possible. For precious metals, this recession scenario could be the turning point. We select some promising stocks.
