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.

Shell, BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, NEL: Black Gold Pearls
One of the last commodities still in top shape is oil. On Tuesday, oil giant Saudi Aramco presented its figures for the recently ended quarter. Net income for the world's largest oil producer climbed 30% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021, from USD 16.7 billion to USD 21.7 billion, thanks to rising oil prices. In terms of revenue, the oil giant reported a 20.6% increase to USD 72.6 billion. We rarely hear numbers like that, but optimism is spreading again among oil producers.

Deutsche Rohstoff, Varta, ThyssenKrupp, Glencore: These stocks are on the rise!
Commodity companies around the world are producing at the limits of their capacity. The omnipresent supply deficit is not only boosting commodity prices themselves, but it is also giving the mine operators a good boost. The first quarter of 2021 is showing one of the strongest inflationary pushes in the resources sector in 10 years. Copper, for example, is now trading at the USD 10,000 mark, nickel is at a 10-year high of USD 17,700, and there is no stopping palladium. We take a closer look at some of the profiteers.

NIO, Geely, IBU-tec, Silkroad Nickel - Attention, watch closely here!
The first sharp correction occurred yesterday. The major indices lost between 1 and 4% - the TecDAX was hit the hardest with a minus of 3.7% at the peak. Is this the turnaround from the top? No, say the chart technicians. It is not yet a lost cause because the indices had demanded a correction for many months. Since March 2020, there have hardly been any significant corrections in most stocks. At the end of January, the hydrogen stocks began to fall, and now there is money to be had in the broader sense. No disaster - the selection of good titles is now the trump card.

Barrick Gold, Rio Tinto, BHP, NewPeak Metals: Gold - The inflation protection comes!
The technology stocks corrected somewhat in recent days, which also cost the blue-chip indices some points. But still, everything is technically in butter. However, we should keep an eye on two important adjusting screws. The bond and precious metals market! Bonds showed weakness recently because the increased US yields pulled all global bond markets into the red. The Bund future is also approaching the critical 170 mark again. If it breaks sustainably, a small sell-off in debt instruments should not be surprising. In this movement, the precious metals should start to rally. Yesterday, gold jumped to USD 1,797 - this will now be exciting!

NEL, Plug Power, FuelCell, Royal Helium - Buy or Sell?
What will the energy transition look like in Europe? Hydrogen - the raw material is seen as an alternative building block of a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Water is plentiful, and the only thing missing is a truly environmentally friendly way to produce it. Even under the best conditions, producing green hydrogen costs about 10 times as much as Russian natural gas, which also burns fairly cleanly overall. We have not even considered the electro-technical efficiency.

BYD, NIO, Varta, Kodiak Copper: No e-mobility without copper!
The copper price is just about to climb the USD 10,000 mark. For many market participants, the scenario for the industrial metal is set. Because since the public declaration of the automotive industry to make the e-vehicle the No. 1 means of transportation, the demand for copper and battery metals is shooting through the roof. Mine operators worldwide are alarmed, but how do you increase capacity in the short term when there are too few developed projects? We dive into the market.

Newmont Gold, Sibanye-Stillwater, Troilus Gold, NEL - Invest selectively in quality!
After such an extended bull market as we have experienced in the last 3 years, it is difficult for some investors to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are long-term fundamental trends, so-called megatrends such as digitalization or e-mobility, and currently also mining. Here, the medium-term parameters coincide with critical economic trends. But then there are also short-term, so-called hyped trends about which it can be argued how long they will last. While crypto attracts additional money, the hydrogen hype is already breaking off - and again, an important criterion comes to light: Timing!

Deutsche Bank, Heidelberger Druck, Steinhoff International, Desert Gold - The turnaround is coming!
Besides the leading stocks, there is always a market on the stock exchange for smaller and neglected stocks. Often, these stocks are awakened completely by chance, e.g., because a competitor company delivers good figures. Yesterday, the good figures of Deutsche Bank immediately pulled the whole sector up; even the boring Commerzbank was able to gain 3% at the peak. Good old Deutsche shot the bird with plus 11%, a long-awaited reawakening. From a chart perspective, the way would be clear from around EUR 11.30. But there are other stocks that should be put back on the radar.

Aspermont, Bitcoin Group, SAP, TUI - These stocks are taking off!
Information is everything today! Those who have it at the right time have a significant head start. This is the case, for example, when company news is announced: Reading the newspaper the next day presents investors with a fait accompli today, the share has already reacted accordingly to the news the day before. In Xetra real-time trading, the adjustment to a new factual situation happens in a matter of seconds; sometimes, the swings even lead to intraday auctions to give investors some more time to enter limits. Machines dominate today's stock market trading; they trade according to rules and algorithms. We look at values in the environment of fast information.

BYD, NIO, Nikola, Nevada Copper - The Tesla hunters step on the gas!
The appointment of the candidates for chancellor in Germany has led to a significant increase in the Green Party. While at the same time, the current government parties have been punished. For consumers, this means continued tax incentives of the highest magnitude for so-called "environmentally friendly technologies," which, in addition to solar panels and wind power, include above all battery-powered mobility and hybrid vehicles. The German Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) is subsidizing the purchase of electric cars throughout Germany until the end of 2025 - this year, the bonus is particularly high. This environmental bonus supports not only the purchase but also the leasing of electric cars. One half of the subsidy comes from the manufacturer, the second half from BAFA. The stock market likes to hear this, and the manufacturers' shares are selling like hotcakes. It seems that this bull market can start again with every political statement.
