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.

Elon Musk finances Donald Trump - Now a strategic move with Rheinmetall, Aixtron, Almonty Industries, and Varta
An assassination attempt with consequences. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed his deepest solidarity with presidential candidate Trump following the assassination attempt. The Tesla CEO will henceforth financially support the Republican presidential candidate's campaign massively. Musk intends to provide around USD 45 million per month, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The latest election polls now put the Republican clearly ahead of Biden. This could lead to a strongly US-oriented policy in the spirit of "America First". Above all, Trump aims to halt immigration, invest in the ailing infrastructure, massively arm the national security, and revitalize "Old America". Everything suggests that the blockbuster sectors of high-tech and armaments will continue thriving for now. The focus is clearly on strategic raw materials due to the efforts to reduce foreign dependencies. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?

Trump shares: Airbus, Royal Helium, Hensoldt, and Rheinmetall appear systemically relevant, and Plug Power aims high!
The world seems to be coming apart at the seams! While the capital markets are skyrocketing, we find ourselves in the midst of several geopolitical conflicts and a brutalization of social conditions. In Saxony, poster-holders are being beaten up; in the US, presidential candidates are being shot at, and in Ukraine and the Middle East, there seems to be no end in sight to the warfare. No wonder the population's need for security is at an all-time high. This also drives up gold and Bitcoin, as political confidence is waning. Donald Trump may be a flamboyant and over-excited politician, but he is right when he says that the current situation is almost unbearable. He wants to invest a lot of money in security and get "his country" back on track. Strategically relevant shares remain in demand in this context. Here is a current selection!

Mega rally on the cards - 500% plus is likely too low an estimate! Evotec, Desert Gold, Cogia, VCI Global, and Lufthansa
The stock market keeps rising and rising - this much is revealed by the ever-new highs of prominent indices such as the NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, or the Nikkei index. However, a closer look reveals some inconsistencies. For example, only 6% of all traded stocks are currently reaching new highs, while over 70% of all listed stocks have fallen since the beginning of the year. In short, global liquidity is aggregated in just a few blockbuster stocks, with the rest being left behind. Such bubbles already occurred in 1999, 2007, and 2015, followed by a 25% to 50% correction. When exactly this will happen, no one knows, but the party is likely to continue for a while due to high liquidity. Gold and silver are in the process of forming interesting breakout formations. Now is the time to pick the cherries!

NASDAQ Super Boom! 100% returns still lurk with Alibaba, VCI Global, and Super Micro Computer; Amazon founder sells
Experts expect the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to lead to double-digit productivity gains in digitally configurable processes over the next few years. Not since the introduction of industrial robots have there been such leaps. The major Internet companies have long since prepared themselves for these developments. High computing power, automated sales processes, and a pool of trillions of user data points play into the multinationals' hands. They achieve billion-dollar profits with their networks almost effortlessly. Consumers are served exactly what interests them most and, above all, what they consume regularly. However, not all high-tech shares have been able to take off so far. What should investors pay attention to now?

Growth of 100% possible with stocks like Alibaba, Verve Group, Super Micro Computer, and GameStop
The NASDAQ is rushing from high to high. While it was primarily stocks with AI fantasy at the beginning of the year, there has even been a resurgence in e-mobility in recent weeks. Tesla reported surprisingly high deliveries in the second quarter, and Volkswagen bought into the startup Rivian to solve its software problems. This brings new fantasy for investors. However, with such advanced upward trends, it is important to find followers, meaning stocks that have not yet performed as well. We are therefore taking a closer look at some typical "growth stocks" as the revaluation overseas is likely not yet complete.

20,180 in the NASDAQ 100, the next record high is within reach! Breakout also at TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lufthansa and dynaCERT
Sometimes, it takes a little longer, but sometimes, it happens without one even noticing. The travel stocks on the share price list are heading for a fully booked summer season, and debts have long since been repaid. Nevertheless, the mood is depressed - why is that? Saturn Oil & Gas has already made its third acquisition, and the share price is still moving sideways at a P/E ratio of 1.5! And the share price of dynaCERT, the long-criticized Canadian provider of hydrogen add-on devices for optimizing diesel combustion, for almost a year has bobbed between CAD 0.12 and CAD 0.15 - yesterday, it peaked at CAD 0.29, a premium of nearly 100% for loyal shareholders. Now, a detailed analysis is needed.

100% possible with hydrogen! Keep an eye on Plug Power, Nel, First Hydrogen, nucera, and Cavendish
Football is the dominant topic at the moment. Even in ancient Rome, bread and circuses worked quite well to distract the people from the essentials. Investors should pay attention to the progress made in the hydrogen sector. Cavendish shares have brought new momentum to a sector that has been badly beaten up since 2021. Can the Nel subsidiary initiate a change in sentiment? We analyze the situation like Ronaldo at the penalty spot. But it should definitely go in!

Attention: Biotech stocks! Evotec, Bayer, and BioNTech in the emergency room, but Cardiol Therapeutics shows strength!
Anyone looking at the buying frenzy on the NASDAQ is overlooking the fact that the US has long been in the emergency room. With the candidates currently up for election, it is unlikely that the most pressing issues of the day will be dealt with. One has difficulty using the right words in front of the camera, while the other ignores facts and slips into his own world. This election could be disastrous for the world's largest economy, but the financial markets are currently uninterested. Investors should, therefore, continue to separate the wheat from the chaff and act prudently. After the big AI and high-tech wave, biotechs are expected to make a comeback, as US interest rates will drop closer to the election. We present a solid selection for risk-conscious investors.

Hydrogen 3.0 - Is it turning now? Nel ASA, Cavendish, dynaCERT, SMA, and Plug Power in focus!
Summer slump? Not at all! Artificial intelligence, high-tech, and armaments remain in upward mode; even a sharp correction at Airbus is not shaking the markets. There are currently increasing rumours that China and Japan could have problems with their financial systems. In China it is the collapsing real estate market, in Japan it is trillions of YEN invested in foreign bond markets and refinanced with negative interest rates. However, the era of zero interest rates is over, and persistent inflation is not subsiding as expected. This pushes the risk parameters through the roof and requires banks to have higher capital backing. Exciting times! In the hydrogen sector, all eyes are on the newcomer Cavendish. Will this be a jolt for the struggling sector?

Euro 2024 Round of 16 - A Summer fairytale on the stock markets, too? BYD, VW, Power Nickel and Rheinmetall qualify early
Football has always been a great way to distract the masses. People love sports because it relaxes them even when they are just watching - a tried and tested remedy for the multiple crises that continue to spiral into our minds. Fortunately, the stock markets are trading so high that the looming banking crisis in China and Japan is not working its way through to Europe in the media. The EU financial markets have lost a lot of ground since the election because while the NASDAQ is rushing from peak to peak, the EURO STOXX is making an almost unnoticed 5% correction, and France is even down 10%. EU spreads on German government bonds widened further, a scenario that seemed to have been forgotten since 2008. And in football, Germany is hopeful going into the Round of 16, and our stock picks are also bursting with strength.
