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.

SunMirror, Varta, Akasol, IBU-tec - The new batteries are coming fast!
The industry is now overflowing with pronouncements on electric mobility! The USD 2 trillion infrastructure plan unveiled by Joe Biden includes allocating hundreds of billions of dollars for measures against the vexing climate change. According to estimates by the renowned investment house Raymond James, the funds earmarked for climate spending total USD 628 billion, including USD 174 billion for research into electric mobility and another USD 100 billion to rehabilitate the USA's ailing power grid. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at metal and battery stocks.

Scottie Resources, Barrick Gold, ThyssenKrupp - These stocks are taking off!
With each political message, the gold price fluctuates as rarely before. Since January, the trend has been down again after the August 2020 high of USD 2,074; it is now at least USD 350 lower again. Investors' risk appetite is robust because stocks and cryptocurrencies are in demand, while bonds and precious metals are currently somewhat neglected. Selling pressure in the bond markets has recently pushed the ten-year US yield to a 14-month high of over 1.77%. The selling pressure in precious metals is having a particularly negative impact on the world's largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Shares, whose gold holdings have fallen from 1,171 to 1,038 tons since the turn of the year. However, because the mass is usually not correct, this rather implies an imminent recovery. In the following, we take a brief look at promising stocks.

Sierra Growth, BYD, Ballard Power - Copper versus hydrogen!
Emission-free mobility - who will make the race? In the last 3 weeks, there have been strong movements in battery metals. Nickel almost doubled to USD 19,500 within 12 months, followed by a correction to USD 16,000 in April. Copper fared better. Here the price fell back from USD 9,500 to USD 8,750. However, the gain over the year for both metals is still just under 100%. In the first quarter of 2021, there was a jolt in the development towards e-mobility because VW blew the big attack against Tesla. After all, VW sells 10 times more cars than its Californian competitor, and now the battle for electric customers is really getting underway...

Blackrock Silver, Deutsche Bank, Heidelberger Druck - Turnaround stocks in the Easter basket!
During advanced stock market upswings, many investors ask themselves daily which stocks might still be left behind? One thing is for sure: NASDAQ technology stocks have set several historical landmarks in the Internet, IT, e-mobility and hydrogen sectors. With rises of up to 2500%, it should start to cool down. The widely used argument for further rising prices: Too much liquidity - No alternatives! That is true, but those who have already earned handsomely with other stocks can also bet on the stragglers. Here we present a few to choose from.

Pollux Properties, Steinhoff, Wirecard - Explosive Penny Stocks!
It is starting again! Insane turbulence, especially in New York, turns individual stocks into 30% rockets or 50% low flyers in one day, while the big stocks in the Dow Jones slowly but surely run towards new all-time highs. Then the sell-off in media and Internet stocks as a family office allegedly faltered. ViacomCBS and Discovery's shares lost 50% last week and are currently barely recovering. The entire banking and brokerage sector was hit with losses of between 4 and 10% - the reason: fear of uncontrollable risks and imbalances in the financial sector. Speaking of risk: We take a look at some interesting penny stocks - there is always something on offer here!

Saturn Oil + Gas - BP - BYD: Can hydrogen replace oil?
A pious wish goes again and again through the political decision-making centers of the world. How do we get the planet clean(er)? The Paris Climate Agreement came into force on November 4, 2016, exactly 30 days after 55 countries had already waved through acceptance in their parliaments. In the draft resolutions, 163 states had drawn up their climate protection plans; for the Federal Republic of Germany, this is the Climate Protection Plan 2050 with a long list of politically controversial individual measures. The core element remains the financially neutral CO2 steering levy, and air traffic to and from countries in the European Economic Area is also included. Donald Trump saw it as one of his first acts to say "NO." Now Joe Biden is turning the wheel back in the right direction - we hope!

REVEZ, GameStop, Tencent: Watch out! Things are getting interesting here!
The "stock market" ecosystem faces new challenges every day. A few weeks ago, the artificial short squeeze in GameStop stock led to the most extensive trading dislocations in US stock market history. Even the Senate had to initiate a special investigation into the events, and today, we are still missing final clarification of how it can come to 1000% deflections. Gigantic turnovers of over 2500 trades per minute brought even modern trading systems to the limits of feasibility. If we had not experienced true leaps in digitization in recent years, everything would probably be collapsing now under the flood of data and remote work requirements.

Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer, Formycon: These pharma stocks could explode!
According to official statistics, diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as heart failure, coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, are the No.1 cause of death in Germany. With 18.2 million deaths, they represented the most common cause of death worldwide in 2019. Thus, on a global average, a good 30% of all deaths are attributable to cardiovascular disease. In Europe, more than 4 million people die each year due to such a disease, 1.4 million of whom are younger than 75. But there are many other dangers to our health. Reason enough to take a closer look.

wallstreet:online, Palantir, TUI, Lufthansa - Digitization on the move!
Yesterday, the heads of Facebook, Google and Twitter had to testify before Congress how they plan to ensure that their platforms do not spread misinformation in the future. In virtual appearances before special economic committees, they were to outline their measures to explain various events related to the 2020 US election and the Covid-19 pandemic. At stake is the legal shield that protects their platforms from being held liable for their users' posts, known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. If this law is changed, media could be held accountable for their content. Digitization has both sunny and dark sides.

Deutsche Rohstoff AG, Royal Dutch Shell, Nel ASA: Attention - here it burns!
The oil price is one of the leading indicators of global economic activity. Despite OPEC's best efforts to control the spot price, short-term price spikes up and down can occur due to global developments. The short-term gloom in the global business climate in 2020 caused historic drops within 3 months, and forward prices even fell into negative territory. It has at least been possible to regain the level of just under USD 70 in Brent in the current year. Currently, a technical consolidation is underway at a high level and there is little to be heard from OPEC. We look at well-known protagonists of the energy sector.
