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.

Better than Nvidia and without AI – 185% with Veganz, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, and Nestlé in focus
It does not always have to be NVIDIA. German stocks are also performing well. Those who took advantage of Trump's tariff panic in April to buy in have since earned 75% with NVIDIA, but a whopping 185% with German plant-based nutrition expert, Veganz Group. Even the long-sidelined pharmaceutical giant Bayer has made an astonishing comeback with 50% growth, while Nestlé, supposedly an anchor in many portfolios, has lost 15%. Some call it selection luck, while others refer to it as sector rotation. It is currently apparent that the long, strong rally on international stock markets is benefiting only a few stocks. It remains fascinating that the stock market always celebrates when Donald Trump's tariff threats ultimately turn out to be less severe than initially expected. What remains for the economy, however, is less growth and high prices at the checkout. The new US policy stands for many things, but first and foremost, for less trade and economic downturn. How can investors still profit?

Biotech turns to gold: Who is swallowing whom - or what? Evotec, BioNxt, Valneva, and Formycon are on the list!
The biotech sector is closely monitoring central bank interest rates. At present, however, inflation still seems a little too high to expect significant cuts. Accordingly, the European Central Bank left its key interest rates unchanged yesterday. Investors are now looking to Wall Street for signals on where rates might head in the second half of the year. However, due to the sharp price increases on the Nasdaq and existing undervaluations, takeover rumors are starting to circulate - and could materialize at any time. BioNxt, Evotec, and Valneva are on our watchlist. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

Buying frenzy on the NASDAQ – Another 200% with D-Wave, MiMedia, and Super Micro Computer?
New record highs every day – a joy for investors, but a source of stress for fund managers. Time and again in history, stock markets have risen unchecked, only to be followed by an equally unexpected correction. This usually happens when there is a high degree of complacency. One indicator of investor sentiment is the so-called Fear & Greed Index. With values above 75 out of 100, it has been in the "Extreme Greed" zone for weeks now. But as a famous quote from the 1987 movie "Wall Street" said: "Greed is good!" We examine a few stocks with promising prospects and are betting on a continuation of the remarkable rally.

What is going on here? Watch out for DroneShield, Pure Hydrogen, and Nel ASA
The stock market is currently taking no prisoners. Megatrends such as AI and high-tech have enabled investors to reap substantial returns over the past two years. But for the past three months, defense and armament stocks have been performing a wild dance on the trading floor. With special public programs to upgrade NATO, investors are expecting billions to flow into companies that maintain a defense segment in their business model. But how can a 600% rise in share prices be justified with just 20% more orders? What if DroneShield disappoints in September? The Australian hydrogen specialist Pure Hydrogen is currently expanding into the US, and much remains to be seen here. So where are the opportunities for investors?

After a 500% increase - is the next rocket stage about to launch? Rheinmetall, Almonty, Hensoldt, and Steyr in focus!
Some investors are reluctant to add stocks that have already performed strongly to their portfolios. In general, this is not good advice, as a sharp rise often has fundamental reasons. For example, the Düsseldorf-based defense company Rheinmetall is expected to increase its business volume roughly fivefold in the coming years. However, its share price has already skyrocketed by a factor of 20 since the start of 2022. The second-tier defense stocks have not been able to make the same leap, but some have managed gains of up to 500%. What happens next? Technical analysts often say: "The trend is your friend." This suggests that after a correction, the sun will soon shine again. In the strategic metals sector, Almonty Industries has recently made strong progress, and the rally could continue significantly regardless of defense investments. We have done the math for you.

The hot phase for nuclear energy is beginning! Oklo, First Hydrogen, Nel, Siemens Energy, and Plug Power
For a long time, nuclear power was considered a thing of the past; however, a significant shift in energy policy is now underway worldwide. The US is at the forefront of this movement. Under Donald Trump, a comprehensive action plan to rebuild the nuclear industry was recently adopted. The goal is nothing less than to quadruple the country's nuclear power capacity, in particular through the massive expansion of small modular reactors (SMRs), which are compact, decentralized mini nuclear power plants. They are considered efficient, safe, and scalable. The message is clear: the United States wants to regain its position as the dominant nuclear power, both in terms of energy policy and technology. Which companies are in the spotlight?

150% with Gold, Caution in Defense stocks! BYD, AJN Resources - Are RENK and Steyr headed for a crash?
The stock market is currently experiencing fluctuations. While defense stocks are leading the performance list, precious metals have also been back in focus for several months. The reason: Currency devaluation is accelerating as inflation rates remain high. Now, there are rumors that Donald Trump may want to replace his hawkish monetary watchdog, Jerome Powell. Wall Street is betting that a more dovish figure will soon steer US interest rate policy. That would be the next rocket boost for stocks. However, risk-averse investors are increasingly turning to gold. In 2025, the price per ounce has already risen as high as USD 3,490. Due to low production costs, projects in Africa remain firmly in focus. One example is AJN Resources, which has recently refinanced and is repositioning itself in Ethiopia. Where do the real opportunities lie for dynamic investors?

Hard to believe: thyssenkrupp going public? New DAX highs with SAP, ASML, and Antimony Resources
With geopolitical tensions escalating with each passing day, it is becoming increasingly clear that reliable supply chains for industry and manufacturing are a thing of the past. German and European industry, in particular, are feeling the effects more and more as supply routes are increasingly restricted or even shut down completely as a result of growing sanctions. This scenario of scarcity is leading to increased sensitivity on the capital markets: long-term interest rates are rising, and risk parameters are skyrocketing. How are companies responding to this uncertain environment, and is there still hope for a revival of global trade? Which fundamental trends should investors pay particular attention to in light of this situation? There is a lot to be gained!

Will Trump seize Greenland's resources? 300% opportunity with MP Materials, European Lithium, CRML, Glencore, and DroneShield
US President Donald Trump has recently reaffirmed his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland. In April, he did not rule out military options and called control over the island an "absolute necessity" for US security. At the same time, negotiations are underway on the possibility of binding Greenland more closely to the US through a special agreement, a so-called Compact of Free Association (COFA), without formal annexation. However, the Danish government and the Greenlandic administration have signaled their clear rejection: Greenland is not "for sale" and its residents have no interest in becoming part of the US. Rising global tensions and the increasing scarcity of strategic raw materials are putting pressure on industry. The first effects are already being felt, particularly in the high-tech and defense sectors. A rush on strategic metals is underway - and investors are taking notice.

Does Trump love hydrogen after all? The sector is celebrating! Plug Power, Nel, dynaCERT, and MP Materials are in rocket mode
Global pressure to reduce climate-damaging emissions is growing, and the hydrogen sector is increasingly coming into focus. Although US policy under Donald Trump does not prioritize climate protection, Europe and Asia are resolutely pushing ahead with the transformation in mobility, logistics, and mining. Hydrogen technologies offer enormous potential here, especially in the heavy-duty sector. Innovative providers such as dynaCERT are focusing precisely on this area with tried-and-tested solutions for reducing emissions and increasing efficiency. The technologies are mature and ready for use, global demand is rising, and decision-makers are under growing public pressure to support sustainable alternatives. The sector remains relatively quiet, but with a bit of industry rotation, the pendulum could swing quickly in the other direction.
