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.

DAX 25,000 and gold at 3,500 next year? Position now with Lufthansa, TUI, Desert Gold, and Barrick Gold
After an extensive stock rally in 2024, many investors are wondering what the New Year 2025 will bring in terms of investments. Hopes are resting, on the one hand, on the upcoming conservative government changes in the US and Germany. There is great confidence in a new supply-side industrial policy flanked by further interest rate reduction measures. Deregulation of bureaucracy and tax relief could usher in a new era of corporate profitability, especially in Germany. This might eventually lead to the return of foreign investments and job creation, replacing the red-green visions of a carbon-neutral 28-hour workweek with full pay. We provide some insights on where and how profits might flow again.

Biotech Acquisitions in 2025: Several 100% Gains Expected – Evotec, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Pfizer
There have already been two attempts, but the story continues! Evotec speculators were confronted with a rumor mill and a takeover bid in November. This is what happens when a stock plummets and languishes for a long time. The management wisely rejected Halozyme's undervalued offer, and thus, the bidding war for the Hamburg-based company began anew. In the biotech sector, eyes should now be on the future, as the first movements have already taken place. In our stock selection, there are three outliers with price increases of more than 30% in the last 3 months. However, the big moves will only take place in 2025. Here is an analytical look at a long-neglected sector.

DAX 20,400 – Year-end rally underway! 100% opportunities are still lurking at Shell, BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, and Plug Power
All EU countries have ramped up their alternative energy production in recent years. In particular, countries like Germany achieved a 65% share of electricity from renewable sources in the first half of 2024, with wind and solar as the main drivers of growth. However, the conflict in Ukraine since 2022 has now jeopardized the achievement of the 2050 targets more than ever because the lack of affordable fossil gas is threatening the transformation of the economy. The rising gas prices of recent weeks have awakened bad memories of 2022 among European energy traders and politicians alike. When the continent was in a rush to end its dependence on Russian gas, prices had already risen by 400%. The energy sector offers great opportunities – timing is of the essence!

Copper shortage, Crypto, and a hunger for energy! What is in store for Super Micro Computer, MicroStrategy, SAP and XXIX Metal Corp. in 2025?
Sharp increases in energy commodities are hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these initiatives and will become one of the key resources driving innovation in the coming years. Without the red metal, electric motors cannot be built and huge amounts of electricity cannot be transported over land. Copper is also a critical component in designing a completely new energy infrastructure. Trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are further exacerbating the energy shortage. Significant demand increases are expected in China and India, whose resource hunger impacts the entire planet. The race against time is already in its third round; new copper deposits must be developed urgently! Which stocks are at the forefront?

Portfolio Rockets for 2025! Nel ASA, F3 Uranium, Renk, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt in focus
For many investors, this year's stock market felt like a warm rain. High-tech, AI, and defense stocks reached new all-time highs, thus gilding the returns of risk-conscious portfolios. However, even with the DAX 40 index constantly setting new all-time highs, there were only 34% winning stocks in Germany compared to 66% losing stocks. The market's rally has been highly selective, driven by just a few names. This makes it all the more important to identify dormant portfolio risks, regroup, and build a lineup poised to deliver strong returns in 2025. Here are some suggestions to consider.

Year-end rally: DAX high, Bitcoin, or gold? SMCI, Thunder Gold, Dell and SAP under the microscope
December begins as November ended: New highs on the DAX, high-tech stocks remain in demand, and Bitcoin and gold are consolidating slightly. With only 16 trading days left, now is the time to find the right portfolio structure for 2025. Despite unbridled investor optimism, next year could see a sector rotation that causes the overbought stocks to consolidate and brings long-neglected stocks to the forefront. At Super Micro Computer, many uncertainties are now being put into perspective. Its partner, Nvidia, has not been able to report any new highs since the Q3 figures. On the other hand, SAP is enjoying record growth, having seen one of the strongest rebounds since its founding. What happens now? Here are some ideas for risk-conscious investors.

The shooting stars of the energy transition – 325% gains with Siemens Energy, dynaCERT, Nel ASA, and Plug Power
The NASDAQ technology exchange has been the standout performer this year. With gains of over 30%, the past 12 months will go down in history as a remarkable rally. Few doubt that the mood will deteriorate again significantly by the end of the year. The spotlight was on high-tech stocks and stocks that incorporate the megatrend of "artificial intelligence" into their business model. However, one selected DAX stock was able to outperform the NASDAQ by a factor of 10: Siemens Energy. The losers in this mix were clearly the once-popular hydrogen stocks, Nel ASA and Plug Power, which each lost around 50%. Yet, these could be among the rising stars of the new year. Meanwhile, dynaCERT has already seen significant gains in 2024, but there is still plenty of upside potential. A detailed analysis reveals why!

Artificial intelligence and crypto with a 200% opportunity! SMCI, Power Nickel, Infineon and ARM Holdings on the buy list
The crypto and AI boom is now quite advanced. Yesterday, Bitcoin hit a wall at just under USD 100,000, and Nvidia was also unable to reach new highs despite good Q3 figures. This suggests that a technical consolidation is underway, which could extend well into early 2025. However, some stocks have already fallen more sharply and are reappearing on investors' buy lists. 2025, the first year of the re-elected Donald Trump's term in office, is likely to bring a great deal of unrest, as the US will have to reposition itself in international trade. Announcements of introducing punitive tariffs are currently dominating the news, which are largely counterproductive. We highlight the opportunities for risk-conscious investors.

Biotech in focus! The 2025 blockbusters: Pfizer, BioNTech, Nyxoah, Valneva or Evotec - Who will take off?
The Q3 figures have now been processed. In the shadow of the tech giants on the Nasdaq, biotech stocks are currently being neglected. However, it is important to note that as pressure on the international economies increases, so does the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the central banks. Many investors have been underweight in biotech for quarters, prioritizing other sectors. All of this could be reversed in 2025. An early positioning with the most important protagonists seems promising. We are picking the best opportunities for you from the "Advent calendar."

Crypto & Bitcoin, the USD 100,000 madness – Will power shortages loom? Coinbase, Myriad Uranium, C3.ai and Palantir
The crypto madness continues! This week, Bitcoin enthusiasts are glued to their trading screens. Will the cryptocurrency break through the USD 100,000 barrier? Experts in the coin segment even consider price targets between USD 250,000 and 1 million conceivable. Anything is possible, as they say today. Meanwhile, market analysts are also noting the looming risks of power shortages. The extensive mining operations and the increasing use of artificial intelligence are consuming unprecedented amounts of electricity, demands not anticipated five years ago. Several countries have, therefore, decided to expand their nuclear power capacities, including France, Poland, Finland, the US and China. Conversely, Germany plans to stick to renewable energy sources - let's hope the sun starts shining at night soon. We explore these booming segments and seek opportunities for returns.
