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.

NIO, Varta, Nevada Copper: Here's where the e-car boom is still favorable

It remains to be seen whether it makes sense to chauffeur heavy batteries around in cars that already weigh several tons. The fact is, however, that the trend is intact and will continue: E-cars are booming. While some manufacturers are already expensive, there are still opportunities along the value chain.
