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.

Print money now! Gold over 3400, silver already at 36 – Barrick, Globex Mining, First Majestic, D-Wave, and Hensoldt
Debt and inflation are causing yields to rise, and now gold and silver are also booming! In addition to defense and high-tech stocks, investors have finally taken a liking to precious metals. Commodity investors have had to wait a long time for this moment, but now prices are rising rapidly. Investors should add stocks like the long-overlooked Barrick Mining and First Majestic Silver to their portfolios, while Globex Mining is an outright buy. The Company holds over 250 properties, which are currently increasing in value daily. On the other hand, the high-tech stock D-Wave and the defense stock Hensoldt have already advanced excessively.

Greentech is now exploding – a 300% comeback for hydrogen? nucera, dynaCERT, Plug Power, and Nel ASA
Although the US administration under Donald Trump does not think much of climate change, the outlook for the hydrogen sector is improving all the time. This is because it is no longer the US setting the tone but Europe and Asia. Global efforts to make local transport cleaner and more sustainable are now also reaching the transport, logistics, and mining industries. There is still enormous potential for improvement here in terms of reducing climate-damaging emissions. Innovative technologies such as those developed by dynaCERT are now well-known in the market. Therefore, decision-makers in public office will no longer be able to avoid discussing these issues if they want to remain in their positions in the coming years. The public pressure to combat negative climate change globally is increasing. Forward-looking investors should start positioning themselves now.

With gold over USD 3,400 - 100% gains in no time: Gerresheimer, Desert Gold, Hensoldt, and RENK
Rumors about Jerome Powell's resignation were circulating at the beginning of the week. Described as very "hawkish," meaning he strictly aligns interest rates with inflation, he is an uncomfortable contemporary for President Donald Trump. The US administration needs a lot of money to get the outdated infrastructure and the entire economy back on track. Numerous campaign promises for a flourishing America can only be fulfilled by the flamboyant frontman if sufficient funds are available. This is a difficult undertaking due to the very high level of government debt. The credit rating agency Moody's is not intimidated by the president's threats and recently downgraded the US credit rating by one notch to AA1. Triple-A status is now history. This is a perfect setup for gold, with the precious metal rising again to over USD 3,400. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Madness: New tariffs - no, yes, or maybe not? Trump moves thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, RENK, and Plug Power
The stock markets have rarely seen such volatility. At this point, there are multiple shifts in direction on every trading day, triggered by the latest headlines from the White House. Last week was almost entirely about tariffs, with Putin's war and Trump's peace promises already forgotten. The world continues to live in uncertainty due to the prevailing war scenario, with no stone left unturned. This environment makes it clear: secure supply routes for raw materials will be essential in the coming period. In the defense industry in particular, metal shortages could become a showstopper. Investors can benefit from the current trends through careful selection as Western industrialized nations are stepping on the gas. Where are the big return generators hiding?

Can you believe it? Stock market darling BYD plunges, while D-Wave, 123fahrschule and Metaplanet go into express mode!
Bull mode every day? While 30-year government bonds in the US have climbed to the magical 5% yield mark, stock markets are rising to new highs almost daily. However, the focus is no longer on the NASDAQ but on the DAX 40 index - the reason: US President Donald Trump's policies are causing international caution toward the formerly close ally. Tariffs are limiting growth, and tourism is collapsing, weakening the US dollar and prompting fund managers worldwide to look for other investment opportunities. Rising interest rates and a growing budget deficit could thus become economic dynamite for the promised land. In contrast, an increase in investment rates has been observed in Europe since the beginning of the year, with investors investing in digitalization and infrastructure following generous public investment decisions. Where do the opportunities and risks lie?

Up to 1500% with high tech and artificial intelligence – Incredible price movements at Evotec, NetraMark Holdings, and D-Wave
Artificial intelligence can now be found in all sectors of the economy. Search processes, validations, and historical comparisons now take place in a matter of seconds, and a dramatic leap in productivity is on the horizon. The capital markets have set themselves the task of evaluating these future processes. This is no easy task, as most topics cannot be viewed in isolation. Last week, renewed tariff threats led to a short-term price correction. These losses had to be offset yesterday, with political denials from the US sending share prices skyrocketing again. Under intense pressure, investors now have to decide whether investments promise short- or medium-term success. We use three examples to show how challenging this has become. Where are the opportunities and risks?

Tariffs, nuclear energy, and climate policy! Trump sets the pace for Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Plug Power, and Oklo
The world is undergoing a 180-degree turn. Nuclear energy, which was demonized until 2022, is now experiencing an astonishing renaissance, and green seems to be redefined. Under Donald Trump, the US aims to expand the use of nuclear energy significantly, and the US president signed all the necessary decrees last week. Trump said that the United States intends to become "a real power" in the nuclear industry again by quadrupling its nuclear power production after his tour of the Middle East. Oil prices thus approached the critical USD 60 mark again, and hydrogen stocks experienced another sell-off. However, one problem is becoming apparent: 30-year bonds are now yielding over 5%. Stock market traders are now focusing on nuclear business models and uranium stocks. Where are the opportunities and risks?

Caution! Takeover imminent at Evotec or BioNxt, tension remains high at Bayer and Valneva
In advanced stock market cycles, many investors wonder where returns can still be made. Defense and high tech have raced ahead, and a sector rotation remains, particularly in favor of biotech. Despite substantial gains in major indices such as the DAX 40, up nearly 20%, the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) is still down nearly 7%. The excitement is mounting, as some stocks are heading north and delivering better-than-expected figures. From an analytical perspective, Evotec and BioNxt are so undervalued that a takeover can no longer be ruled out. Bayer has issued a strong statement to the US courts, and Valneva is set to outperform its previous year's Q1 figures significantly. Time for an update: Where are the buying opportunities?

Where will the biotech winner of 2025 come from? Evotec, Bayer, BioNTech, Vidac Pharma, and Pfizer under stock review
With new announcements coming out of Washington daily, the stock market carousel is spinning faster and faster. The direction is no longer uniformly upward, but deeper corrections, such as those seen in April, offer good entry opportunities. While the DAX 40 index reached a new all-time high yesterday at 23,977 points and has already recorded 27% growth in 2025, the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) has lost a full 7.2% over the past six months. We have examined several interesting sector players and identified both opportunities and risks. In short, careful selection is once again key!

Volatus Aerospace – The next era of security technologies begins now
Geopolitical conflicts, overarching security requirements, and empty budgets pose a significant challenge for governments and administrations today. This is because highly sensitive and critical infrastructures have been created in recent decades, requiring significant public investment. These now need to be protected and maintained. In the digital age, these decision-making processes require a wealth of data that must be collected and evaluated regularly. Artificial intelligence accelerates these processes, and this is where the big game changer lies for many service providers. Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023; EUR 0.09) is a highly specialized service provider in the field of airborne inspection, surveillance, and data analysis. Business is set to take off in the current quarter as the demand for critical information increases daily. There is still time to get on board.
