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.

Rockets, Returns, Recycling: Investors Sense Geopolitical Tailwinds for Nel ASA, RE Royalties, and Tomra Systems
In an environment of political instability and growing uncertainty, one thing is clear: investments in sustainability are no longer merely an ESG issue, but a geopolitical and economic imperative. This is because dependence on fossil fuels is increasingly perceived as a strategic risk. Accordingly, pressure is mounting to prioritize alternative energy sources and sustainable infrastructure. This opens up a structural growth market for investors that extends far beyond short-term crisis responses. Companies across the value chain are in the spotlight, benefiting to varying degrees from this transformation. While RE Royalties, as a financier of sustainable projects, relies on stable cash flows from renewable energy plants, Tomra Systems addresses key resource issues of the future with recycling and circular economy solutions. Nel ASA, in turn, embodies the hope for a hydrogen economy, though it is still grappling with the typical challenges of a nascent industry. We do the math.

Iran and the USD 100 Mark – Total Oil Madness Drives ITM Power, Zefiro Methane, thyssenkrupp nucera, and Nel ASA
Crazy times for investors. After repeated back-and-forth between Washington and Tehran, uncertainty surrounding the future of the conflict continues to rise. As a result, markets remain highly volatile heading into the weekend. Over the past ten trading days, Brent crude has swung between USD 82 and 104—so what can investors realistically rely on? One approach may be to take a closer look at the oil sector's peer group—or to revisit opportunities in the alternative energy space. Plug Power recently set off a real fireworks display here. But how are ITM Power, Nel ASA, and thyssenkrupp nucera performing in this environment? And then there is the newcomer Zefiro Methane, whose approach could quickly propel the stock into a higher league. We delve a little deeper, quite literally, into what is happening beneath the surface.

100% Opportunities Do Not Come Around Every Day! SAP Before a Turnaround, Aspermont Impresses, and Alphabet Bets on SpaceX!
Information is everything! That is precisely why global IT markets, artificial intelligence, and data centers are increasingly moving to the center of strategic investment decisions. Companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon are investing billions in new AI infrastructure, while competition for high-performance chips, energy supply, and cloud capacity is simultaneously escalating. The key driver for investors lies not only in the growth of AI applications themselves, but also in the strategic value of information utilization. SAP, as Germany's largest software company, has somewhat missed these developments, whereas Alphabet is a leading figure in the global data-driven race on the customer front. Australia's Aspermont is a true standout in its niche: the commodities markets. Those seeking reliable industry information will find it in Perth. Then there is Elon Musk and his trillion-dollar IPO project, SpaceX. Investors today must stay alert if they want to secure strong returns.

Middle East Escalates Shortages: Supply Chains at Risk - Nordex, Antimony Resources, and Siemens Energy
Prepared and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East once again highlights how vulnerable global supply chains for critical metals are when a strategic chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz comes under pressure. What matters here is not so much the direct transport of metals through the strait, but rather its importance to global energy trade; a disruption there would rapidly drive up the costs of energy-intensive metals such as aluminum, copper, or nickel. Higher freight rates, more expensive insurance, and longer routes would further increase logistics costs and significantly slow down just-in-time structures in many industries. Raw materials that are indispensable for the energy transition, digitalization, and defense would be particularly affected. A recent study concludes that a prolonged blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global trade flows worth up to USD 1.2 trillion annually. Which stocks are now in the spotlight?

Focus on Critical Infrastructure: Power Metallic Mines Shines, Heidelberger Druck & LPKF Laser Ready to Take Off
The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.

Gold as a Safe Haven Amid Middle East Tensions: Lahontan Gold Advances with Confidence—Following in the Wake of Barrick Mining and Newmont
Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to unsettle financial markets, and gold is once again coming into focus as a proven safe haven for investors. Projects in stable mining regions such as Nevada benefit particularly from this environment, as they combine security of supply, legal certainty, and predictable production prospects. This is exactly where Lahontan Gold stands with its advanced Santa Fe project in the historic Walker-Lane Gold Belt. As already impressively demonstrated by industry giants Barrick Mining and Newmont in Nevada, Lahontan Gold is also unfolding a classic development story with significant leverage on rising gold prices. For investors, this could result in a rare combination: a growing gold developer in one of the safest mining regions in the world, with a clear path to the next major valuation surge. The stock has shown impressive strength for months, and the rally should now get another boost.

Middle East Conflict Weighs on Markets: Food Supply Chains Become a Key Issue – MustGrow, K+S, Evotec, and BioNTech in the Spotlight
The Middle East conflict is once again bringing global supply chains into focus and increasing pressure on vulnerable supply routes. The Strait of Hormuz, in particular, remains a key geopolitical risk factor because it is of great importance for the global flow of goods and energy. If tensions arise there, transportation costs, delivery times, and price fluctuations can quickly escalate. This creates new opportunities as well as risks, particularly for companies involved in food, health, and agricultural technology. MustGrow and K+S ensure the global food supply through fertilizers, while Evotec and BioNTech operate in the complex landscape of health-related issues. Despite uncertain conditions, dynamic investors are keeping an eye on the stocks that deliver comparatively robust results in a volatile market environment. We dig a little deeper!

Bulls Regain Control? Globex Mining, SAP, and Oracle Gain Ground
The 2026 investment year has so far turned out much better than expected. Despite all the international turmoil and several current hotspots, the S&P 500 index reached a new all-time high of 7,147 points last week. Tech stocks were back in the spotlight, while the recently sought-after commodity stocks took a hit. Critical metals, however, remain the top issue due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. China is now only exporting them in limited quantities, so many analysts already view them as a "showstopper" for economic development through 2030. What can the West do? Little in the short term, but in the long term, import dependencies must be replaced with genuine domestic deposits, many of which must also be brought into production quickly. Regulators are therefore called upon to act, even if the word "quickly" has not yet become part of the official vocabulary in Brussels. At Canada's Globex Mining, a lot is already getting underway. Tech stocks SAP and Oracle have likely finally put their lows behind them.

Gold at USD 4,800 – Largely Overlooked and Gaining Momentum: Desert Gold Set for First Production in 2026
After a dream rally over the past 12 months, the gold price paused just below the USD 5,000 mark. The reason: between 2025 and January of this year, the precious metal surged by 130% to USD 5,400. Supply constraints and imbalances in derivatives markets, particularly in silver, pushed prices for physical metal sharply higher. Most gold producers and advanced explorers saw revaluations of up to 500%. Desert Gold also doubled in value during this period; however, the market has so far largely overlooked the company's strong positioning to begin production in 2026. The German research firm GBC has set a price target of CAD 0.93, which implies substantial upside from the current level of around CAD 0.14. Investors should keep in mind that gold investments have historically served as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty. They can help stabilize portfolio returns and preserve purchasing power over the long term. A closer look is warranted.

Volatus Aerospace on the Rise – From Aerial Imagery to a Question of Power: Drone Technology Is Shaping the Future
The skies no longer belong solely to airplanes. Drones are rapidly evolving from niche tools into a core technology across industries. They are man-made, but ultimately superior, because they see better and act without emotion according to predefined patterns. They enhance data collection, automate processes, and expand operational capabilities—from agriculture to security. What was once experimental is now becoming systemically relevant. Autonomous systems secure energy supplies, facilitate rescue operations, and modernize global supply chains. Their dual utility makes them a key infrastructure of the digital age. For whoever possesses drone technologies increasingly controls the flow of data and resources and optimizes protection against unwanted threats. A trend that is clearly gaining momentum in the financial markets, with one name at the forefront: Volatus Aerospace.
