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.

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.

Power Metallic Mines: The Company Backed by Commodity Leaders
Three major commodity investors have invested in Power Metallic Mines: Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen, and Gina Rinehart. But this Canadian copper explorer is not just one of the most attractive stocks in the sector because of these big names. The recent decline in the stock price amid the war in the Gulf offers strategic investors the chance to buy in at a lower level. And the copper market remains hot: AI demand, the trend toward electrification, batteries, and the renewal of power infrastructure are driving demand. At the same time, the global supply of copper remains weak.

Almonty Industries: The Tungsten Dominator of the West
Whether in golf clubs, X-ray machines, saw blades, or Abrams tanks, tungsten is ubiquitous—and virtually irreplaceable. As a result, this strategic metal sits at the intersection of industrial demand and geopolitics. China controls around 80% of global supply; together with Russia and North Korea, this dominance rises to around 95%. In an increasingly polarized world, tungsten has effectively become a strategic asset. Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a key supplier for the Western alliance, having recently ramped up production at its flagship mine in South Korea while pursuing an ambitious global expansion strategy. The recent pullback in the stock may offer a compelling entry point for strategic investors.

The war opens up opportunities in commodity stocks: Barrick Mining, Antimony Resources, and Freeport McMoRan in focus
The war in the Persian Gulf has drastically shaken up the metals market. Until the end of January, gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and others were still the top performers in many portfolios. The debasement trade, the weak dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty drove prices higher. On top of that, there were significant supply shortages for silver and copper, as well as China's dominance in the extraction and processing of critical metals like antimony and rare earths. The current pullbacks in many stocks now offer opportunities for investors to enter the market.

Gold Pullback Creates Opportunity: Pan American Silver, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle in Focus
Gold prices have recently pulled back below the USD 5,000 mark amid escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Despite this correction, the precious metal remains at elevated levels and well above producers' costs, supporting strong margins. At the same time, ongoing concerns about currency debasement and declining confidence in fiat currencies are likely to persist in the coming years. Against this backdrop, the recent pullback offers opportunities for investors to bet on gold stocks, many of which are currently trading below the record highs of recent weeks.

High energy prices are making industrial waste increasingly valuable: How Waste Management, CHAR Technologies, and Veolia Are Cashing In
Waste is not just waste - it is a valuable asset! For quite some time now, the volume of industrial and household waste has been rising sharply worldwide. The World Bank estimates that between 2014 and 2024 alone, the amount of municipal solid waste produced globally increased by approximately 15% to 20% and could nearly double again by 2050, reaching 3.8 billion tons. Accordingly, it is not only important to avoid waste but also to secure valuable raw materials. The best example is old smartphones, whose valuable raw materials - such as gold, platinum, cobalt, or silver - can be handed over to local recyclers and processed by specialists.

The Drone Revolution: Investors Focus on Lockheed Martin, Volatus Aerospace, and Northrop Grumman
Drones have fundamentally transformed modern warfare. This has become evident not only in the conflict in Ukraine but also in the escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf. As a result, significant investments are being made in these new technologies. Developments in China and North America show that drones are becoming increasingly important in civilian applications, including logistics, delivery services, and building maintenance. The potential fields of application appear almost limitless.

Gold & silver poised to rise: How investors can profit now with Agnico Eagle Mines, Silver Viper Minerals, and Harmony Gold!
Stock markets have been extremely volatile since the start of the war. They are going up or down on a daily basis. At gas stations, but also in the chemical industry, the consequences are already being felt in the form of higher costs for consumers and industry. But one thing is also clear: in times like these, investors seek safe havens. One beneficiary is the dollar. The greenback has gained ground after a long period of weakness. This appears to be more of a traditional reflex on the part of the markets. Given the high level of US debt, investors have tended to seek refuge in recent years and shift their investments to hard assets such as gold or cash flow-strong stocks. The war appears to have interrupted this debasement trend.

AI drives demand: Three copper stocks for the boom - Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Aurubis!
A few years ago, copper was considered one of the most boring metals. Demand grew steadily, but not dramatically. The red metal was used everywhere, from construction to power lines, but it lacked appeal. And the price remained so low that there was hardly any investment in the development of new deposits over the past decade. With the AI revolution and global electrification, this has changed dramatically. Copper is the most efficient electrical conductor after silver and now plays a major role. For example, an electric vehicle requires three to four times more copper than a combustion engine. Added to this are wind turbines, solar parks, and the massive expansion and modernization of power grids. Analysts estimate that by 2040, the world will need to produce more copper than humanity has consumed in its entire history. After electric vehicles, artificial intelligence has triggered the next wave of demand due to the enormous power requirements of data centers. The huge server farms of NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, and others require kilometers of copper cable and massive copper rails for power distribution. As a result, there is now renewed investment in new copper deposits. Investors should diversify their portfolios to benefit from this development in the long term.
