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.

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.

Takeovers – The 200% opportunities for 2025! Speculate now on the turnaround for Evotec, BioNxt, Bayer and Nel ASA!
The DAX 40 index is going from strength to strength, following the huge wave of buying since the US election. High-tech and defense stocks are leading the charge. Contrary to this positive trend, biotech stocks have so far been ignored. However, since interest rates are likely to be lowered for the foreseeable future due to the weakening economy, the time of the research-intensive life sciences industry will soon return. There are takeover rumors about Evotec. BioNxt is currently undervalued, and Bayer should be among the winners next year after successful restructuring efforts. It is worth taking a closer look.

Make Trump love hydrogen – why not? Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp and nucera
- Even though Trump ignores or denies climate change, he has an advisory team focused on the future of the US. After all, the Republican Party wants to continue to govern even after the Donald era. However, the current election result is weighing on the entire green tech sector, so investors should selectively take advantage of the current sell-off. After all, the technologies will not disappear but continue to develop in the background. Hydrogen propulsion systems still play a niche role but could become more important due to technological advances and infrastructure investments. Their future depends heavily on how effectively renewable hydrogen can be produced and made available and how costs develop compared to other zero-emission technologies. First Hydrogen is demonstrating how the logistics and transportation sector could develop under the EU's "Net Zero 2050" target! Sentiment is low, so investors should switch in time to benefit from the impending rebound.

Missiles for Russia! Returns lurk at thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall, Almonty, Renk and Hensoldt?
Western missiles for Russia! A new escalation in the Ukraine conflict hits the trading floors of the stock markets, leading to significant losses for the DAX - dropping 400 points in just 24 hours. Portfolios now have to be quickly restructured as armaments are back in demand again. In addition, critical metals are also gaining traction because special elements such as tungsten are also needed to harden ammunition and military equipment. Those who pivot their portfolios swiftly could benefit from rapid revaluations.

Energy-guzzling artificial intelligence – Uranium in focus! Higher prices possible for Palantir, F3 Uranium, SAP and SMCI!
The energy demand is skyrocketing! Currently, high-tech companies from Silicon Valley are investing in power generators and uranium companies. This is because they will all need many times more electricity in the coming years than they do today in order to roll out their AI-driven business models. Artificial intelligence consumes, on average, 10 to 15 times more energy than conventional search engine queries. As a result, industry leaders are no longer willing to leave future energy supplies solely in the hands of governments, as the risk of supply disruptions appears too great. For several months, nuclear companies in the US have been developing so-called small modular reactors, while the EU wants to continue with renewable energies. Investors should weigh these options carefully, as these trends present significant opportunities for growth.
