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.

Kodiak Copper, Rio Tinto, Gazprom: The next commodity doublers!
An utterly different madness! A perfect illustration of the current mania on the stock market is the price performance of the unknown stock, Signal Advance. The papers of the medical technology company based in Texas drove social media-driven investors, since Thursday, by more than 11,000% upwards, from USD 0.6 to USD 70.0. On Monday, the stock closed at USD 38.7, up more than 438% from Friday. Signal Advance, which, according to research, has not generated any significant revenue in 2019 or 2020, let alone profits, is now suddenly worth more than USD 3 billion on the stock market. Yesterday at the opening, it then went down with -75%, so it is likely better to stay with solid commodity stocks!

Osino Resources, FuelCell, Nikola: Things are moving fast!
Yesterday saw a not-so-surprising move in the super-shooter Bitcoin (BTC). Within 12 hours, the cryptocurrency corrected from levels above USD 40,000 down to USD 30,600, a daily loss of 25%. This correction was a move that had been in the air for a long time but was probably not expected at this speed. It is not for nothing that BTC has a calculated volatility of over 100%. However, the bout of weakness once again illustrates the cryptocurrency's high susceptibility to fluctuation. All the great euphoria thus escapes somewhat, but the fan community is likely already ready to fabricate new highs. As a result of the correction, the total market volume of all, currently around 8,225, digital currencies fell back below the one trillion-dollar mark. Last week, the mark had been surpassed for the first time. Speed is more in demand than ever!

Defense Metals, Millennial Lithium, Orocobre: Metals are exploding!
The rally in industrial commodities continues - precious metals, on the other hand, are experiencing the biggest daily slump since November. The reasons are simple, although not always obvious: The economic momentum has been underestimated since the middle of last year, analysts are currently gradually moving away from their gloomy forecasts. In particular, mines in the industrial metals sector have seen lower production and exploration following the pandemic outbreak, resulting in closures. Some have closed following price collapses. Currently, things are going the other way: metals, especially copper and lithium, are in strong demand and are soaring, with the producers' shares following suit. The situation is different with precious metals: The need for hedging is decreasing, the propensity to take risks is increasing: precious metals are thus tending to decline. The overall market follows the general battle cry: RISK-ON!

Nevada Copper, Glencore, Tesla: E-mobility seeks copper!
Almost unnoticed, the copper price recently climbed to a 7-year high. No wonder, because the political efforts favoring e-mobility are intensified nearly every week! The complete changeover to the "electric car" is seemingly a done deal in Brussels. Regardless of the never-ending discussions about the lopsided eco-balance concerning battery production & disposal, the political will is spreading among the population. With tax incentives, the topic of "solar energy" could also be pushed forward, so why shouldn't company fleets and company cars be promoted appropriately. The consumer often feels good about the income tax, and we can recite a 7-verse poem about this topic in Germany.

UPCO International, Netflix, Tencent: Unchecked Mobile & Internet Boom!
The lockdown is extended once again in Europe. One does not want to give the virus a chance to change hosts. As a result, the inner cities' streets are emptying again, and the front seats on the home streaming device and life in the online world are more in demand than ever. Good for the companies that have already fully digitized their business model a few years ago and can maintain a large presence on the Internet. Here, revenues are rising by themselves; the scaling so often mentioned in management letters is now taking place. Communication service providers, payment providers, and mobile platforms have been in the ascendancy for months now. We take a closer look at a few industry players.

BIGG Digital Assets, NEL ASA, BYD: The Bitcoin Crypto Rally Continues!
Exactly 5 weeks ago, we looked at the BTC exchange rate as it just bounced off the USD 20,000 mark. Over the weekend, it again reached a new high of USD 34,790. Yesterday we saw a violent correction to USD 27,975, just like that, 20% in 4 trading hours. Crypto investors are used to volatility; it will be another hell ride in 2021 anyway because the strong supporters of the Bitcoin already see a new world currency. The supporters of the FIAT dollar, on the other hand, would rather quickly ban the Bitcoin to protect the financial systems from questionable changes. With just 21 million units, the Bitcoin has no reserve character, because only a few wealthy people on this globe can buy a unit of it. It will be interesting to see how the US dollar - Bitcoin - gold currency triangle develops this year.

Alphabet, AdTiger, Allgeier - Buy AAA in 2021!
According to statistics, today's people use the Internet 17 times every day. Whether with their smartphone, at the supermarket checkout or on their PC. The most frequent use is search processes, social media, work access or shopping transactions. The number of Internet users worldwide has risen continuously and amounted to around 4.1 billion in 2020, which means that online users have increased by approximately 125% percent within ten years. According to one estimate, Asia will have been the region with the most Internet users in mid-2020, with 2.5 billion users. EMEA followed by a wide margin with around 730 million online users. However, North America represents the region with the highest proportion of Internet users. The estimated penetration rate was about 90%, Europe was at 78%, and Asia at around 59%, was still below the global average.

Deutsche Bank, Palantir, wallstreet:online - Data Odyssey 2021
Every day, a single person generates about 1.7 MB of data. We are creating and publishing more information than at any other time in human history. At this rate, we can expect the Big Data market to reach 40 trillion gigabytes by the end of the year. That's more data than most of us can even begin to imagine. It includes everything from the pictures you upload to social media, to the comments we post somewhere and everything in between. A certain amount of this data won't be useful to anyone. But there is a lot of valuable data out there, especially if companies evaluate and use it commercially. Social media is a mecca for data collectors - used for credit scores, user profiles and advertising. Data protection has now been regulated by law - but most users give their data voluntarily.

RYU Apparel, Adidas, Under Armour - Styling high on the agenda!
The third wave of closures in Austria and now complete lockdown! Until January 18, not much is running in the Alpine country - however, the ski resorts are still open. Sports training is not a problem even in pandemic conditions - likely responsible for this is the strong lobby of ski tourism, which extends from hoteliers, restaurant owners, and mountain railway operators to the sports industry. The government followed the request and successfully resisted European uniformity. Reason: The Austrian gross domestic product is dependent on tourism to 37%, and here the winter pays two-thirds of the fee again. Turning off the tap at this point would immediately raise the question of who has to bear the economic damage. In any case, the EU will not pay - this has already been announced, so that skiing pleasure remains possible in Austria. We look at the sports and styling industry - is a new outdoor boom starting?

Alibaba, FuelCell, Desert Gold - Bet on gold!
The long Christmas weekend still shows minor after-effects on the scales, but the Bitcoin has gained weight, it reached a new high yesterday at almost USD 27,700. A small correction usually follows, and it then continues to go up. We will see what is started as a new target zone. Analysts attest the cryptocurrency potential to over USD 100,000. Meanwhile, some old acquaintances are making their presence felt on our watchlist. Alibaba, the "Amazon" from China, collapsed, and FuelCell Energy first rose after bad news and then lost over 15%. Gold, however, stalked back up unnoticed at USD 1,870. The Joe Biden stimulus package of USD 900 billion suggests inflation - that's causing Bitcoin to rise and gold is also coming back into fashion.
