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.

Defence Stocks in a Race Against Time: Are Rheinmetall, Strategic Resources, CSG, and RENK Still a Buy?
The bull run in defence and military stocks lasted nearly four years. At their peak, some stocks were valued at 10 times revenue, with P/E ratios reaching 100. Currently, however, a shift in thinking is taking place, as the contracting nations are heavily indebted and cannot simply keep increasing their defence budgets after the generous adjustments they have already made. This partly explains the recent dip in the sector's stock prices. Yet the stock market is playing out this theme across multiple channels. Defence stocks benefit in the long term from higher government spending, while commodity markets—particularly for steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and specialty chemicals—must respond to the higher underlying demand. At the same time, fiscal burdens are rising, so capital markets as a whole must distinguish between security-related demand and growing budget risks. The underlying trend is that inflation is rising due to money supply expansion, with necessary interest rate hikes as a further consequence. How should investors reconcile these trends?

AI data centers need nuclear power — 70-100% more energy by 2050! Spotlight on American Atomics, SAP, and ServiceNow
The global economy is in the midst of a new infrastructure supercycle, in which the new source of productivity is being sought in the widespread use of digitalization and AI. The physical foundations of extensive AI use are creating unprecedented demand for system components related to energy generation and storage. Electricity, grids, cooling, and raw materials—the demand seems endless. Yet just a few years ago, climate goals were still a major concern. With the explosive growth in demand from data centers, not only are energy sources like nuclear power coming to the fore, but also critical metals for turbines, cables, storage systems, and chips. Goldman Sachs expects data center electricity demand to more than double by the end of the decade—a scenario that makes CO₂-free baseload power a matter of strategic survival. Although nuclear power plants have been largely dismissed in the EU, they are once again moving to the center of the debate as reliable electricity suppliers and are becoming serious partners for tech companies. A deeper look is worthwhile.

Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen
At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!

150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued
With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

Undervalued – Analysts Turn Their Attention to Life Sciences: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer in Focus
DZ Bank's aggressive price target adjustment for Bayer demonstrates that analysts have recently begun to view the life sciences sector more favourably. The pharmaceutical and agrochemical group's strong start to the year has led to significantly improved prospects, and legal risks are now also viewed as more moderate. Finally, some good news for long-suffering investors in a geopolitically volatile environment. After all, there have not been any major upgrades in the sector for quite some time. When it comes to Novo Nordisk, however, experts remain divided on whether the earnings trend will turn positive again. Cutthroat competition in the weight-loss drug market is intense, putting pressure on margins. Buoyed by industry sentiment, Pfizer also saw its stock rise again. Time for a new tour of the sector. Where are the triggers?

The Market Is Buying Again! Strong Revaluation at Infineon Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Despite major international uncertainties, the technology sector is once again experiencing renewed momentum. While investors are once again eagerly snapping up tech stocks like Infineon Technologies and Advanced Micro Devices, there is growing caution in other sectors. This is hardly surprising, as rising interest rates are making equity investments generally more expensive. Nevertheless, the boom in artificial intelligence, data centers, and power electronics continues unabated, bringing critical raw materials increasingly into the focus of strategic investors. Whether modern semiconductors, high-performance processors, or energy chips, they all require a stable supply of strategic metals such as antimony, copper, or rare earths. Geopolitical tensions, disrupted trade routes, and export restrictions are creating growing supply bottlenecks, increasing pressure across the industry. Exploration and resource companies like Antimony Resources, which focus on metals of high strategic importance, stand to benefit from this. It is worth taking a closer look!

Takeover Candidates for 2026! The Life Sciences Sector Is Heating Up: Evotec, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech, and Formycon in Focus!
In recent months, the stock market has focused primarily on high-tech and defence stocks. While this strategy may have worked well for investors in the short term, it has also pushed several life sciences stocks to levels that some consider overly depressed. The Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec has lost around 75% of its market value over the past three years, with similar declines seen at BioNTech, Formycon, and BioNxt Solutions. Yet some pipelines are indeed valuable and backed by years of research. For a buyer with deep pockets, this could represent an attractive opportunity, as much of the costly early-stage work has already been completed. We are looking at a sector that has been unjustly forgotten. Where do opportunities lie for risk-conscious investors?

Energy Rally 3.0: Hydrogen and Methane Are Driving the Market! ITM Power, Zefiro Methane, Plug Power, and Nel ASA In Focus
The stock market today is anything but a one-way street. While the problems in the Middle East have had a virtually direct impact on the chip industry's supply chains, other sectors have been left behind. For investors, stock selection is becoming a difficult task, as markets will eventually have to price in the higher inflation and interest rates over the medium term. Almost unnoticed, an alternative energy segment has gained momentum in recent days: hydrogen. Shifting away from oil and toward other themes, liquidity is finally flowing into this sector as well. A major beneficiary of this situation is Zefiro Methane. Here, the profit potential stems from decades of shortcomings in oil exploration and production. The highlight of the current selection: all stocks have surged significantly in recent weeks. But the clear winner in terms of returns is Zefiro Methane. And the story is just beginning!

Act Now or Miss Out – Sharp Correction in Siemens Energy, RE Royalties, and Nel ASA Amid Ongoing Upswing
The global energy transition is increasingly facing a structural financing challenge. While governments worldwide are announcing ambitious decarbonization targets, the cost of capital is rising dramatically. However, higher interest rates, skyrocketing government debt, and a weaker economy are fundamentally altering the risk assessment of long-term infrastructure projects. According to analyses by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global investment in clean energy would have to accelerate significantly by 2030 to keep the agreed-upon climate targets within reach. Yet this is precisely where the dilemma begins: many countries have long since reached their fiscal limits. In Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, capital markets are therefore growing increasingly skeptical of heavily subsidized transition models. Against this backdrop, we take a broader view beyond the "green revolution"—where can solid returns still realistically be expected?

333% Gains: What Comes Next for AMD, LPKF Laser, and Group Eleven?
Erratic movements – sky-high valuations! Right now, investors get the impression that AI and data centers are set to become the salvation of the global economy for the next 100 years. Of course, building AI infrastructure costs the tech giants enormous amounts of money. At the same time, the architects behind these systems are making a fortune. In principle, however, it is a cycle: what one company invests becomes another company's profit. Project this dynamic three years into the future, and nearly every major industry will have implemented its own generative AI systems. From entry-level employees to skilled workers and even at the executive level, there is now dramatic potential for cost savings, which in turn improves the bottom line. But at the end of the day, many people may lose their all-important jobs. The result is obvious: consumption is declining, and ultimately, growth is being replaced by contraction. Dynamic investors are riding the current rallies and then exiting at the right moment. What matters most is timing. Here are a few ideas.
