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.

Varta, Graphano Energy, BYD, NIO: Who supplies the blockbuster battery?
There is no way around a high-performance battery when benchmarking for those who see electromobility at the forefront. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development. Still, at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. As a result, this has made an electric vehicle suitable for long distances for the first time, even though recharging must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, new materials are being tested, and one day it will be available - the super battery. We look at some industry players.

Nel ASA, Enapter, Plug Power, ThyssenKrupp - Hydrogen now or never!
It sounds crazy, yet we have arrived at the times when billionaires ask social platforms if they can flog a part of their shares to flush some money into the empty state coffers. In an age of powerful wealth shifts in favor of stock owners, this is perhaps legitimate, or nice, as it is sometimes referred to in the press. But appearances are deceptive. Behind a generally formulated question about whether one should sell shares lies the precise calculation of shifting blame if the announced sale causes a significant price loss. What then happens is a self-fulfilling prophecy with one small difference: the intention to sell was previously legitimized, so to speak, by public vote.

Bitcoin Group, CoinAnalyst, SAP, TeamViewer - The next rockets are launching now!
Currently, the volatility in certain market segments is hard to beat. The DAX reached its preliminary high of over 16,300 points; yesterday, it fell below 16,000 again within one trading day. Bitcoin also made true leaps up to USD 67,000 and later back down to USD 56,000. Since the central banks had to admit to a certain inflation potential, market participants have been considering the right investment vehicle for a permanent rise in prices. Is it still the stock markets, or shouldn't long-term interest rates also slowly gain momentum? Here, there has been a zero return for a good 5 years, and in real terms today, there is even a whopping minus interest rate of over 4%. So if you are hoarding money, you are bound to lose without adding anything. We look at stocks with upside potential.

Rivian Automotive, BrainChip, Infineon, Nvidia - These are jumps à la Tesla!
It looks like technology investors are moving into the all-in phase. Certain industries are likely expected to grow indefinitely, and this is especially true for e-mobility, lithium, hydrogen, and most recently, the chip industry. Despite all understanding for the improved prospects due to the omnipresent shortage and the political closing of ranks in favor of climate-friendly technologies, does this mean that one has to pay price-turnover ratios of 100 or even 1000 on the stock exchange? The new automotive stock Rivian had a valuation of over USD 150 billion right at the start of the stock market and had not yet sold a single car. In the year 2000, it was also thought that sales and profits could not be a benchmark for share price performance.

TeamViewer, Aspermont, Palantir - Lockdown ahead: Corona drives the online world!
The stock markets reached new highs again last week. The inclined observer is starting to wonder what is always celebrated here from one week to the next? Governments are again imposing different measures to combat the pandemic. Even the lockdown is becoming socially acceptable again due to the standards in Austria. Many had hoped that the vaccinations would have given us a better winter than last year. However, due to historical infection figures in Germany, this does not seem to be the case. Anyone who still believes in a flourishing economy here must have strong nerves. We are looking at a few companies that can continue to grow strongly despite the pandemic.

Alibaba, TalkPool AG, Baidu, Tencent - Brutal sell-off, what is next here?
The sell-off of Chinese tech giants is now entering the next round. This time it is not the regulator but a cautious outlook for the future. Alibaba's share price felt the negative sentiment yesterday and is firmly back in the grip of the bears after an interim recovery of over 30% since summer. The NASDAQ has been unimpressed with Chinese company forecasts for weeks, sending its own growth stocks from high to high. We take a look at the dynamic sector.

Standard Lithium, Prospect Ridge Resources, American Lithium - Up, up and away!
The battery metal lithium is again on everyone's lips. The starting point in 2021 was once again the political closing of ranks after the German elections. The proponents of quick action in favor of the climate predominantly focus on electromobility, increasing the pressure, especially in the battery industry. The perfect battery has not yet been developed. The market is betting on a continuation of lithium-ion technology in the absence of alternatives. Another trend has just emerged in recent days. The precious metal shares are set to jump! No wonder because the inflation figures are taking on a momentum of their own, which the FED, in particular, has probably vastly underestimated.

Leoni, Sierra Grande Minerals, Varta, Nordex - Critical raw materials, skyrocketing prices!
According to the active suggestions of many climate protectionists, we are all best off riding bicycles. Because the climate measures, in particular the CO2 taxes, will soon make movement with fossil fuels impossible. In October, the E10 fuel price reached the EUR 2.00 mark at some filling stations. As a result, 80% of the gasoline price target formulated by the Greens in the 1990s of 5 D-Marks has been achieved. Calculated on the oil price, a liter of refined fuel would only cost about EUR 0.60; the rest is made up of duties and taxes, as is well known. Interestingly, in the Federal Audit Office records, it is precisely the political climate protection protagonists who stand out with an impressive number of car trips and air miles. It seems that only some people are supposed to restrict themselves, while other more privileged groups enjoy a free ride. Is this the future of individual mobility?

Barrick, Barsele Minerals, Agnico Eagle, Yamana - Trading the gold explosion to USD 2,500!
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari announced last weekend that high inflation could persist in the coming months, and yet the Fed should not overreact; after all, inflation will pass again. As you can see, central bankers on both sides of the Atlantic never tire of repeating this thesis to us investors. One tends to listen carefully because the same monetary watchdogs tried to conjure up a "wishful inflation" of over 2% a few years ago. A stage goal has certainly been reached with a 4% increase in price! What is the future for precious metals in this environment?

Bitcoin Group, wallstreet:online AG, Palantir - How to handle inflation?
The highest inflation since 1990 has sent the gold price soaring. The Bitcoin (BTC) was also able to profit enormously from this. The cryptocurrency is proving to be not only a safe haven but also a hedge against inflation. And many in the crypto community believe that bitcoin can continue to benefit from sky-high inflation. But beware: volatility in BTC is enormous. Central banks, which are supposed to be proactive, are arguably a bit behind the curve in the fight against inflation. After all, it is now not just the prices of certain categories that are rising due to the opening up of economies or supply chain problems, but prices are now rising across the board. Inflation is hitting asset prices the hardest; it is called "asset inflation." Which values are going up with it?
