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.

Pollux Properties, Steinhoff, Wirecard - Explosive Penny Stocks!
It is starting again! Insane turbulence, especially in New York, turns individual stocks into 30% rockets or 50% low flyers in one day, while the big stocks in the Dow Jones slowly but surely run towards new all-time highs. Then the sell-off in media and Internet stocks as a family office allegedly faltered. ViacomCBS and Discovery's shares lost 50% last week and are currently barely recovering. The entire banking and brokerage sector was hit with losses of between 4 and 10% - the reason: fear of uncontrollable risks and imbalances in the financial sector. Speaking of risk: We take a look at some interesting penny stocks - there is always something on offer here!

Saturn Oil + Gas - BP - BYD: Can hydrogen replace oil?
A pious wish goes again and again through the political decision-making centers of the world. How do we get the planet clean(er)? The Paris Climate Agreement came into force on November 4, 2016, exactly 30 days after 55 countries had already waved through acceptance in their parliaments. In the draft resolutions, 163 states had drawn up their climate protection plans; for the Federal Republic of Germany, this is the Climate Protection Plan 2050 with a long list of politically controversial individual measures. The core element remains the financially neutral CO2 steering levy, and air traffic to and from countries in the European Economic Area is also included. Donald Trump saw it as one of his first acts to say "NO." Now Joe Biden is turning the wheel back in the right direction - we hope!

REVEZ, GameStop, Tencent: Watch out! Things are getting interesting here!
The "stock market" ecosystem faces new challenges every day. A few weeks ago, the artificial short squeeze in GameStop stock led to the most extensive trading dislocations in US stock market history. Even the Senate had to initiate a special investigation into the events, and today, we are still missing final clarification of how it can come to 1000% deflections. Gigantic turnovers of over 2500 trades per minute brought even modern trading systems to the limits of feasibility. If we had not experienced true leaps in digitization in recent years, everything would probably be collapsing now under the flood of data and remote work requirements.

Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer, Formycon: These pharma stocks could explode!
According to official statistics, diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as heart failure, coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, are the No.1 cause of death in Germany. With 18.2 million deaths, they represented the most common cause of death worldwide in 2019. Thus, on a global average, a good 30% of all deaths are attributable to cardiovascular disease. In Europe, more than 4 million people die each year due to such a disease, 1.4 million of whom are younger than 75. But there are many other dangers to our health. Reason enough to take a closer look.

wallstreet:online, Palantir, TUI, Lufthansa - Digitization on the move!
Yesterday, the heads of Facebook, Google and Twitter had to testify before Congress how they plan to ensure that their platforms do not spread misinformation in the future. In virtual appearances before special economic committees, they were to outline their measures to explain various events related to the 2020 US election and the Covid-19 pandemic. At stake is the legal shield that protects their platforms from being held liable for their users' posts, known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. If this law is changed, media could be held accountable for their content. Digitization has both sunny and dark sides.

Deutsche Rohstoff AG, Royal Dutch Shell, Nel ASA: Attention - here it burns!
The oil price is one of the leading indicators of global economic activity. Despite OPEC's best efforts to control the spot price, short-term price spikes up and down can occur due to global developments. The short-term gloom in the global business climate in 2020 caused historic drops within 3 months, and forward prices even fell into negative territory. It has at least been possible to regain the level of just under USD 70 in Brent in the current year. Currently, a technical consolidation is underway at a high level and there is little to be heard from OPEC. We look at well-known protagonists of the energy sector.

Aspermont, ProSiebenSat.1 Media, Porsche - It is all about speed!
When it comes to digitization, Germany probably slept through everything announced in the Digital Pact a few years ago. For years, it has been impossible to make mobile calls without interruption, and anyone who doesn't live in a major city center doesn't have much luck with the Internet either. Now, in the pandemic, these shortcomings are coming to light. Digital society, far from it! How simple it would be to have online-controlled admission systems and access control for our popular cultural institutions. Whether restaurants, cinemas, theaters, ski lifts or zoos - if travel to Mallorca is made possible, then surely, regulated openings for those seeking recreation in their own country should be too. But, imposing bans is more fun than listening to and implementing intelligent ideas - poor Germany!

Nevada Copper, BYD, Varta: Revaluation in copper?
Incredible, what speed! A few months ago, the German automotive industry was still sleepy and hardly reacted to Tesla's announcements to put the mobility of the future on a new footing. Then, last week, Volkswagen ignited the electric flock, and then yesterday came the announcement of the truck-electro cooperation from Traton Group, consisting of VW, Scania and MAN. They are to invest EUR 1.6 billion in the research and development of e-trucks by 2025. Daimler-Benz and Volvo had recently talked about a hydrogen powertrain. VW gained 7% yesterday and Daimler barely moved from the spot. So the capital market pendulum is seemingly swinging back in the direction of electromobility.

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, Aurelius Equity, TeamViewer - The April Winners!
The March decline is over. Which stocks will be the winners in April? Gold turned in at USD 1,680 and ended up at USD 1,745 on Friday. The substantial rise in yields in the first quarter certainly helped here, bringing the US 30-year yield from 1.7% closer to the 2.5% mark. At this point, the inflation discussions start to get loud, which immediately feed through to the growth stocks on the NASDAQ. Borrowed money becomes more expensive, making it all the more difficult to re-finance growth companies. Often in history, interest rate turning points were also critical stock phases, but there was always a laughing winner: GOLD!

Enapter, FuelCell, NEL, Plug Power - hydrogen or battery?
According to publications of the last few days, the decision has been made in the mobility sector. The markets are clearly focusing on electromobility, and titles such as VW and Varta are in demand as never before. VW had called for an assault on the Tesla bastion at its last press conference. VW can also make a big splash here. It is the world's second-largest automaker and is at the forefront of mass manufacturers in the electricity sector. In this business, size means a high number of hits and positive cash flows, precisely what many hydrogen companies do not yet have, because outside of a few research projects, there is still no business worth mentioning. Billions will now flow into battery development.
