At home in Southern Germany, the passionate stock exchange expert has been accompanying the capital markets for about twenty years. With a soft spot for smaller companies, he is constantly on the lookout for exciting investment stories. That it depends thereby less on large names, but on the future potential and whether the market also recognizes these perspectives, was one of its first learnings at the stock exchange.
On these pages, Nico examines current events at listed companies and takes a closer look at companies that are traded under the radar of the market, in addition to well-known securities.
In order to be able to take advantage of speculative opportunities on the stock exchange, Nico not only focuses on a balanced asset allocation of defensive and opportunity-oriented securities, but also on an intact risk management. "In addition to position size and entry in several tranches, investors should also develop a sense of timing and get to know a stock better before investing," says the columnist.

Deutsche Bank, BIGG Digital Assets, Commerzbank: Let the money work for you
Anyone who wants to make a good cut financially gets involved wherever as much money as possible is turned over. Decades ago, the good old "bank apprenticeship" was considered a solid foundation for the future. Although the young bankers of the time have become better real estate agents in recent years, the principle remains the same: Where money is turned over, there is also something to be gained. It is much the same for investors.

Daimler, Aztec Minerals, Varta: How growth investments succeed
New technologies are currently transforming the economy. The triumphant advance of electric cars is a done deal, and even buildings will soon be largely climate-neutral.
