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.

Cleantech Shows Strength: A Look at Nordex, Pure One, and Linde
Few sectors are bringing as many new and established companies back into the spotlight as cleantech. From solar and wind power to innovative technologies that can make the world a better and often more efficient place. For those who identify emerging trends early, the opportunities can be substantial. That is why we are taking a look today at Pure One, a company that appears poised for significant growth in the hydrogen sector. At the same time, established players also deserve attention. Industry heavyweight Linde, which has long since moved beyond supplying traditional industries, has built itself a formidable competitive moat. Investors may also want to revisit Nordex. Following its strong comeback year in 2025, the Hamburg-based company appears firmly back on a growth trajectory.

Copper at Record High: Investors Benefit from Ivanhoe Mines, Power Metallic Mines, and Southern Copper
Despite all the concerns about the global economy, copper continues to shine. The red industrial metal is currently trading at an all-time high, and nothing seems capable of derailing this trend. And that is clearly due to supply-side factors. The mudslide disaster at the massive Grasberg mine in Indonesia last September, as well as the recent slump in copper production in Chile (-14% in March), demonstrate just how fragile production is. And that is driving prices up. Banks such as Goldman Sachs and Commerzbank are now extremely bullish. The US investment bank recently raised its forecasts; it now predicts an average price of USD 13,800 per ton for 2027. The Frankfurt-based bank is singing the same tune and sees the price stabilizing in the USD 14,000 range.

Three Tech Stocks for Your Portfolio: SanDisk, HPQ Silicon, and Nokia Oyj
The tech sector is booming like never before thanks to the expansion of AI data centers. The situation on the stock markets is often compared to the dot-com bubble around the turn of the millennium. However, analysts see the possibility that this trend could continue for a few more years. And now even Google's parent company, Alphabet, is tapping the capital markets to raise more than USD 80 billion. So the boom is unbroken, and the AI hyperscalers are ready to invest heavily. The superstar of the past 18 months is SanDisk, which we are taking a closer look at today, along with the Finnish tech veteran Nokia. It is also worth taking a look at the Canadian company HPQ Silicon, which plans to commercialize three groundbreaking technologies over the next two years.

Opportunities in the Oil Market: BP, Zefiro Methane, and Chevron In Focus
The price of oil is rising again after ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran appear to have failed. However, fighting is currently more sporadic, and its intensity differs from what it was a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, oil prices remain high, and analysts expect they will not fall back to pre-war levels for the time being due to the supply shortfall. Barclays estimates that the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck is creating a supply deficit of up to 6.6 million barrels per day—about 7% of the global market. If the blockade persists, a peak of USD 110 is considered possible. The bank set a price target of USD 100 for the fourth quarter of 2026. JPMorgan is already seeing a drop in demand in Asia, partially offsetting the shortfall. Nevertheless, the price target here remains high at USD 96 per barrel. Should shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf normalize, the investment bank expects prices of USD 75 for black gold in the coming year. Oil companies stand to benefit from this development. We are therefore focusing on the shares of BP and Chevron. It is also worth looking at Zefiro Methane, which operates as a "cleanup specialist" in the industry.

Gold Market: Pullback Creates Opportunities in B2Gold, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle Mines
Gold has remained remarkably resilient amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and the prospect of higher interest rates. The precious metal is currently trading sideways within a broad range of USD 4,400 to USD 4,800 per ounce and has recently defended the USD 4,500 level. History suggests that gold can perform well even during periods of rising interest rates. The 1970s provide a notable example. As the Western world grappled with stagflation—a combination of economic stagnation and rising prices—central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, aggressively tightened monetary policy. Despite higher interest rates, gold emerged as one of the decade's strongest-performing assets, climbing from USD 35 per ounce to more than USD 800 by 1980. Today, the charts for many gold companies also look promising. They would be the biggest beneficiaries of another outperformance by the precious metal. In any case, the banks remain optimistic. Whether it is Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, or UBS, analysts see gold back above the USD 5,000 per ounce mark by year-end. We therefore take a closer look at three companies that appear interesting not only from a charting perspective, but also fundamentally: B2Gold, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle Mines.

Almonty Industries: The Cash Flows Are Coming
As recently as 2024, Almonty Industries shares were trading for less than USD 1 apiece. The stock is now trading around USD 19, having briefly surpassed USD 20. Following this spectacular growth phase, the company is now poised for its next step. On one hand, the Sangdong mine in South Korea officially opened in mid-March and will now supply the Western world with the critical raw material tungsten. On the other hand, SpaceX's IPO is set to take place in a few days with a valuation of USD 1.75 trillion—a figure that seems out of this world. Then, many investors might realize that tungsten, whose global market is clearly dominated by China, is also indispensable for space travel. And it is precisely this product that is actually only available in large quantities from Almonty Industries.

Dividends From Renewable Energy: Brookfield Renewable Partners, RE Royalties and Clearway Energy Offer Investors High Payouts!
Some people forget that we live in a capitalist system. The term itself is derived from capital, and in today's corporate and capital markets, nothing functions without it. In certain industries, however, capital is scarce, investor risk appetite is limited, or business models are not always a natural fit. In many of these sectors—such as oil, mining, pharmaceuticals, or even the music industry—the royalty model has therefore become well established. Financiers provide capital and, in return, receive stable, long-term cash flows from their partners. This business model has now also gained traction in renewable energy, including hydropower, solar, wind, and battery storage. It offers investors relatively stable and comparatively high dividend yields. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the stocks of Brookfield Renewable Partners, RE Royalties, and Clearway Energy.

Lithium, Uranium, and Copper: How Albemarle, American Atomics, and Antofagasta Are Benefiting from the Energy Revolution!
The world is changing at a rapid pace. The superpowers are locked in competition, and Europe is navigating its path between the US and China. Behind this lie enormous economic shifts that are placing significant demands on businesses and society. The war in the Persian Gulf has brought the extremely diverse yet fragile energy sector back into the spotlight. People are increasingly opting for electric vehicles, batteries are becoming more important, and baseload power has become critical for many nations. Not least, massive investments are needed—especially in Europe and North America—in the often very old and now sometimes dilapidated power grid. These radical changes are driving demand for uranium, lithium, and copper. We are therefore taking a look at the stocks of Albemarle, American Atomics, and Antofagasta!

The AI Boom Requires More Power: Cameco, Standard Uranium, and 2G Energy Stand to Benefit!
Major tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Oracle remain committed to investing in AI data centers. Despite initial negative news (debt, cash flow slump), new analyses show that they are actually increasing their investments. These so-called AI hyperscalers had planned investments in AI infrastructure of around USD 600 to USD 620 billion for 2026. Now, estimates from analysts and market researchers have been significantly revised upward. Accordingly, research firms such as TrendForce and Pimco now anticipate combined capital expenditures of over USD 750 to USD 830 billion for this year. In 2027, this figure is expected to exceed USD 870 billion. According to market observers, around three-quarters of this spending currently goes directly toward AI infrastructure—namely, high-performance GPU clusters, proprietary AI chips, and advanced data centers. However, data centers in particular have an enormous appetite for energy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption by data centers recently stood at around 415 terawatt-hours (TWh), corresponding to about 1.5% of global electricity demand. By 2030, this figure is expected to more than double. In its more optimistic scenarios, Goldman Sachs even anticipates growth of up to 165%. Yet energy demand remains the industry's bottleneck. In the US in particular, the partly dilapidated grid is overwhelmed by the additional demand. For this reason, many data centers equipped with expensive chips stood idle for months, waiting for grid connection. With demand booming, nuclear energy is making a comeback among suppliers. Canada's market leader Cameco and Standard Uranium stand to benefit directly from this. From Germany, 2G Energy appears to be in the mix. The North Rhine-Westphalia based company has just announced its first order from the United States for its CHP plants.

Lahontan Gold: Stock in the Sweet Spot
Gold prices are currently still under pressure. Concerns about higher interest rates in the United States are certainly the main drag on the market. However, Fed watchers are unanimous in expecting that there will be no rate hike in the United States before the midterm elections in November. Fed Funds futures are currently pricing in only one rate hike by year-end. But President Trump likely did not appoint the son-in-law of a longtime business partner as Fed Chair without reason. He wants lower interest rates, and Kevin Warsh could deliver. The market may therefore be fundamentally wrong on this issue. This would be the optimal scenario for gold stocks such as Lahontan Gold. The Canadian company is currently developing the historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada. Founder and CEO Kimberly Ann aims to pour the first gold bar by the end of 2027.
