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.

BYD, NIO, Nordex, Sierra Growth - Copper soon at USD 20,000?
The meaningfulness of global efforts to curb global warming becomes all the more transparent when one considers the devastating destruction caused by cyclone "Tauktae" in the Indian state of Gujarat. Something has to be done! German industry is attempting decarbonization through various green technologies, aiming to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Copper is an essential component of electrification; since early 2021, there has been a run on the metal and its suppliers.

It took a long time, but now it is here: The gold breakout! It turned at USD 1,680 last week and yesterday ran up to USD 1,850.

E.ON, Commerzbank, Scottie Resources - Surprisingly good figures!
That was a Father's Day stock market! German holidays are always a popular time for corrections because only half of the otherwise usual market participants are actually involved. The crypto values had to give up a lot after Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he would no longer allow Bitcoins as a means of payment at Tesla in the future, as their extraction is highly negative for the climate. At the same time, he called for the development of a "green coin" that can be obtained with sustainable technologies. Bitcoin lost 12%. In the group of altcoins, there were discounts up to 50%. We take a look at some stocks with special movements.

Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, The Place Holdings: These are the Chinese Doublers!
After weeks of correction in Asian Internet stocks, there are now signs of a revival. On the one hand, the relative valuation to the well-known NASDAQ darlings has decreased significantly. On the other hand, the Chinese benchmark index has already undergone a 20% correction in 2021. Meanwhile, the government has raised its growth forecast to +8.4% in 2021. If we think in terms of post-pandemic categories, when China's major consumer countries pick up steam, Chinese equities should be able to bounce back very quickly.

Formycon, NanoRepro, CureVac, PsyBio Therapeutics - Beat Corona with these stocks!
The vaccination rate is moving steadily forward in Europe. The European Commission has ordered another 2 billion doses from BioNTech. After all the squabbling over AstraZeneca, that may not be a bad decision. But the successors in this market will soon be on the starting blocks. CureVac is close to the approval of its vaccine, and Formycon is making a push with a therapy. NanoRepro, a Company based in Marburg, Germany, wants to bring a highly valid antigen test to market that can give those already vaccinated clear information about the body's immune defenses. The pace in the health sector could not be higher at the moment.

Varta, NIO, Standard Lithium, QMines: Total Copper Boom - Watch out!
Availability of copper is one of the bottlenecks in electromobility. Its price hit a new record high last week at USD 10.445 per ton. Other commodities such as iron ore and uranium have also been in high demand recently. There are reasons for the price boom on both, the demand and supply side. Demand is currently highly driven by the prospect of rapid economic improvement. The accelerating rate for Corona vaccinations gives hope for fewer restrictions and an upturn in economic activity. Supply is currently unable to keep up, especially for technological commodities such as copper, nickel and lithium. We take a look at key industry players.

Shell, BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, NEL: Black Gold Pearls

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.
