Even as a high school student in northern Germany, he developed a strong interest in the “Neuer Markt” and the dynamics of the equity markets. Small- and mid-cap companies were at the center of his focus from the very beginning. After completing his training as a certified bank clerk, he deepened his economic expertise through formal studies in economics as well as through various positions within Frankfurt’s financial sector. Today, he has been actively involved in the capital markets for more than 25 years, both professionally and as a private investor.
As an author, he focuses primarily on high-potential equities in the resource, biotech, and technology sectors. He is particularly interested in companies that remain under the radar of many investors and whose true potential has yet to be recognized by the broader market. He does not consider broad diversification a universal remedy. Instead, he favors a concentrated portfolio of carefully selected and thoroughly understood positions as the foundation for achieving above-average long-term returns. For him, two factors are decisive: rigorous, in-depth company analysis and a realistic assessment of the broader market environment — including current dynamics as well as structural developments across global capital markets.

A More Defensive Approach to Investing in Commodities: How Franco-Nevada, Globex Mining, and BHP Diversify Their Risk
Investors looking to avoid single-stock exposure in the commodities sector can turn to broadly diversified companies. These companies typically provide capital and, in return, receive license fees—so-called royalties. The advantage: they do not bear the operational risks of running a mine. In addition, royalties are generally calculated based on revenue rather than profit. When costs rise—such as in the current environment of higher energy prices—the impact falls primarily on the mine operator, not the royalty holder. With this business model, Franco-Nevada has grown into one of the largest royalty companies in the industry. However, smaller players like Globex Mining are also worth a closer look. Meanwhile, mining giant BHP represents an alternative approach through scale and diversification across multiple commodities.

Is Agnico Eagle sparking a wave of takeovers? K92 Mining and DRC Gold in the spotlight!
Agnico Eagle has acquired three projects in Finland and is establishing a second hub there alongside its operations in Québec. The world's second-largest gold producer is making headlines primarily with its CAD 2.9 billion acquisition of Rupert Resources. The Canadians aim to challenge Newmont with this move. K92 Mining could become the next target of a takeover wave due to its success in Papua New Guinea, as the company is performing exceptionally well operationally. DRC Gold in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meanwhile, could emerge as a potential acquisition target in Africa. The company is already on track to develop two gold mines simultaneously.

Boom After the War: BYD, RE Royalties, and SMA Solar in Focus!
Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would trigger a boom in renewable energy and alternative mobility concepts?

Interest in solar and wind energy is rising significantly. After all, who wants to remain permanently dependent? But which companies stand to benefit from this development?

Lahontan Gold: On the Way to Nevada's Next Gold Mine
The US state of Nevada is one of the world's largest gold producers. It is home to several world-class gold mines, with Newmont and Barrick Mining dominating the scene through the Nevada Gold Mines complex. Lahontan Gold is on track to build the next mine in the famous Walker-Lane trend. The Canadians are aiming for an annual production of up to 80,000 ounces of gold. Given the company's low valuation, this presents an entry opportunity for investors with a medium- to long-term focus.

Costs, Costs, Costs: Can High Oil Prices Benefit dynaCERT?
Elevated energy prices resulting from the US war of aggression in the Persian Gulf are driving up transportation costs across many industries. Logistics providers in particular are exposed to rising diesel prices. If the conflict drags on much longer, shortages could soon arise in Europe as well. In this environment, dynaCERT's technology can quickly provide relief for logistics providers by reducing fuel consumption and operating costs—an angle that is still under the radar of many investors. But persistently high energy prices are likely to soon shift the focus to this innovative tech company.

Volatus Aerospace: A Dual-Use Drone Play with Growth Potential
Whether in civilian or military applications, drones are becoming an increasingly important component of modern technology ecosystems. Recent conflicts, including in Ukraine and the Middle East, have highlighted their strategic relevance. The major powers are faltering. Tank manufacturers are trembling.

Desert Gold: The Next Gold Miner in West Africa
The past 50 years in mining belonged to Latin America, as they say in the industry. That is where mining giants like Chile, Mexico, and Brazil emerged; countries that are now indispensable to the global economy. But this century belongs to Africa; all experts agree on that. Many undiscovered deposits are still waiting to be discovered by the world. The western part of the continent is becoming increasingly important in the gold sector. Desert Gold has established itself in Mali and plans to start production as early as this summer. The company's valuation is attractive, and the stock is still flying under the radar of many investors. This presents a buying opportunity for bold investors.

Commodity Companies: Diversification Is Key - From Giant Glencore to Avrupa Minerals and Pan American Silver
One project, high risk—that is how some investors view commodity stocks that focus on a single project or mine. And there are plenty of such companies listed on the stock market. While this approach has its advantages, it is not suitable for every type of investor. Especially since not every investor has the time to invest broadly across different stocks to reduce their risk. An alternative is broadly diversified companies that can be found across all sectors of the commodities spectrum—from large, globally active miners to savvy junior explorers. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the stocks of Glencore, Avrupa Minerals, and Pan American Silver.

Back to the Debasement Trade: Gold Stocks Like Kinross Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Newmont Poised to Benefit
Over the past year, the debasement trade has come into focus for many investors. The idea behind it is an investment strategy designed to protect one's assets from the creeping devaluation of currencies like the US dollar or the euro. As global debt continues to rise and central banks in countries like the US or Japan are massively buying up their own government debt, their currencies are being weakened. Creeping inflation, which is likely to be exacerbated by the war in the Persian Gulf, will then effectively result in taxpayers being expropriated. Economists have long realized that these countries will never repay their debts but will instead resort to massive inflation. This is what emperors and kings did in earlier times, and this is what heads of state and prime ministers will do today. Investors can protect themselves from these developments by investing in the gold sector while simultaneously generating returns.
