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.

Opportunities and Risks at Nike, dynaCERT and Hapag-Lloyd
Wars, conflicts, or simply poor management: the rise and fall of global corporations depend on many factors. This year, it is once again Washington's wars that are disrupting supply chains, shipping routes, or simply dampening consumer sentiment. For investors, such market-moving times present both opportunities and risks. One company may benefit from high diesel prices, while another suffers from blocked trade routes. That is reason enough to take a closer look at the stocks of Nike, dynaCERT and Hapag-Lloyd.

Fuel for the Portfolio: Chevron, Zefiro Methane and Shell in Focus
Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane
The oil market no longer dominates the headlines on the business pages every day, and the war in the Persian Gulf has recently faded into the background. Interest rates and debt have now moved to the forefront. However, consumers in Europe and North America are clearly still feeling the effects of the conflict. Diesel prices are at record levels, even though the price of oil itself is not. All available refineries in Europe are operating at full capacity. The loss of refining capacity in the Middle East and Russia is likely to continue to affect markets for some time. Oil stocks, meanwhile, are in party mode. The S&P 500 Energy Index and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund are currently trading close to record levels. Today, we take a closer look at Chevron, Zefiro Methane and Shell.

Energy Market in Focus: 2G Energy, A.H.T. Syngas Technology and SFC Energy
The energy market is undergoing a major transformation. The oil age is not coming to an end, but alternative energy sources are gaining ground and filling the gaps left by a geopolitically chaotic world. Historically, oil and gas prices remain at elevated levels. For end consumers, however, the current situation is having devastating consequences in some cases. Extremely high diesel prices are weighing on commuters, travelers, and freight carriers. Expensive kerosene is taking a significant toll on airlines' bottom lines. And the outlook is not necessarily improving. The wars in the Middle East and in Ukraine, as well as tensions involving Russia, are causing supply disruptions on a scale rarely seen before. Some experts are even warning that the impact on oil could exceed that of the oil crises of the 1970s. Decentralized energy solutions offer one way to reduce these dependencies. Today, we therefore take a closer look at the shares of 2G Energy, A.H.T. Syngas Technology and SFC Energy.

Keeping a Close Eye on Copper: A Look at BHP, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport-McMoRan
Copper, copper, copper! Whether it is data centers, smartphones, laptops, or electric vehicles—none of them can function without this red metal. Copper has been the top performer among all metals this year and even defied the dollar's strength in the spring. Now, however, it appears that the Greenback itself is entering a period of weakness. Rising yields on US Treasury bonds have forced the Federal Reserve to take action in the market. With a record debt level of USD 40 trillion, the US simply cannot afford such high interest rates. This should put an end, once and for all, to speculation about a Fed rate hike before the midterm elections in November. This environment is bolstering commodity markets, and copper is one of the biggest winners. That is why today we are taking a look at BHP, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport-McMoRan.

Big Dividends from Mercedes, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco
The stock markets are entering a challenging phase. Stock market history shows that in years with US midterm elections, the preceding months are often volatile and regularly result in losses. August and September, in particular, tend to show significant weakness. This does not necessarily mean the pattern will repeat, but recent market developments are sending warning signals. Optimism is running very high, which makes indices vulnerable to corrections. The latest Bank of America fund manager survey made this clear: professional investors' cash allocation currently stands at just 3.5%, a historically low level. In other words, funds have relatively little capital available to deploy into purchases during market setbacks. One alternative during such phases is high-dividend stocks, which also offer long-term opportunities. That is why today we are taking a closer look at Mercedes-Benz, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco.

Gold Back in Bull Mode: Lahontan Gold, G Mining Ventures and Equinox Gold in the Spotlight
The price of gold has staged a formidable rally in recent weeks. The price rose by nearly 10% after hovering around the USD 4,000 mark for weeks. With its yen intervention, the US has shown that it prefers a weak greenback. In addition, the Federal Reserve has remained neutral recently. Meanwhile, the market now appears to be fully betting on rising precious metal prices. On some days, gold has gained ground even as US Treasury yields rose—a very unusual occurrence! For investors, this means preparing for the coming years. Those who believe in a rising gold price are investing in gold stocks. That is why today we are taking a look at Lahontan Gold, G Mining Ventures and Equinox Gold.

Commodity Companies with Golden Numbers: Almonty Industries, K92 Mining and Aya Gold & Silver in Focus
Things are really picking up again in the commodities sector. Many companies are reporting strong quarterly results, even though costs have recently increased due to rising inflation. Nevertheless, the industry is brimming with energy, especially since many companies have cleaned up their balance sheets in recent years and are now debt-free. This aligns with the gold market, where, according to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased more gold in the second quarter than ever before. It appears they took advantage of the price correction. In any case, the outlook for commodities is favourable. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the stocks of Almonty Industries, K92 Mining and Aya Gold & Silver.

AI, Robotics, Hydrogen and Copper: SanDisk, First Hydrogen, and Lundin Mining in Focus
The AI boom continues, driving major indices such as the S&P 500 toward new all-time highs. Chart analysts believe the 8,000-point mark could soon be within reach. But there is much more going on behind the scenes. Where robotics, AI, drones and energy converge, opportunities can emerge for prudent investors. However, it is important to bear in mind that volatility is currently extremely high, particularly among stocks closely tied to the AI theme. Nevertheless, today we take a closer look at the shares of SanDisk, First Hydrogen and Lundin Mining.

Cancer in Focus: Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, there are currently around 20.6 million new cancer cases worldwide. The annual death toll is estimated at approximately 10 million people. In recent years, more than 53 million people globally have received a cancer diagnosis. According to the WHO, the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to about 35 million by 2050. Two factors are generally cited as the main drivers: demographic change, with the global population getting older, as well as rising rates of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and air pollution in many countries. Unsurprisingly, the oncology market is correspondingly lucrative. Oncology is the world's largest pharmaceutical market. There is, however, also some good news: the age-adjusted risk of dying from cancer is declining thanks to earlier detection, targeted therapies and advances in immuno-oncology. Today, we take a closer look at this market through the stocks of Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca.
