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.

Lahontan Gold: Profit-Taking Creates A New Opportunity!
The stable gold price and the current easing of tensions in the Gulf conflict are supporting many resource stocks. However, for investors who do not want to rely too heavily on the gold price, it is important to focus on companies that are in a growth phase. This is exactly the case with Lahontan Gold. The Canadian company is developing the Santa Fe project, a historic gold mine in Nevada's famous Walker Lane Trend. The goal is to build up production to up to 80,000 ounces of gold per year. Following the stock's initial sharp rise, an interesting technical situation has now emerged. Traders appear to have exited the stock, leaving room for serious investors looking to get in for the medium- to long-term.

Copper on the Rise: Investors Benefit Through Shares of Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Glencore
"Dr. Copper" was once considered one of the best leading indicators of the global economy. The price of copper tended to rise ahead of economic upswings and fall before growth momentum weakened. Today, however, the price of the red metal is unlikely to be a reliable indicator of the broader economy. Structural trends now dominate the market: the electrification of the global economy, the modernization of power infrastructure, and the boom in AI data centers are driving demand sharply higher. At the same time, copper supply is struggling to keep pace. That imbalance is already reflected in pricing: copper has risen by more than 40% within just six months. Analysts at JPMorgan forecast a supply deficit of several hundred thousand tonnes for 2026. Their key arguments include the massive expansion of AI computing infrastructure and global power grids. These trends could persist for years and continue fueling demand growth. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the shares of Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Glencore.

Empty Stockpiles: The US Military Must Rearm — A Golden Opportunity for Lynas Rare Earths, Antimony Resources, and Lockheed Martin
Prepared and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Just a few days ago, Democratic US Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona dropped a political bombshell in Washington. In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday, Kelly criticized the current state of the US military. According to him, stockpiles have been completely "bled dry" as a consequence of the Gulf conflict. The politician described his impressions following a briefing by the US Department of Defense. According to Kelly, ammunition stockpiles—particularly Tomahawk missiles, Patriot air defence systems, and SM-3 interceptor missiles—have been severely depleted, calling the situation "shocking." The extensive strikes against Iran have reportedly reduced inventories to such an extent that the national security of the United States could now be at risk. Rebuilding these stockpiles, Kelly warned, could take years. This, in turn, could leave the US vulnerable in potential future conflicts, particularly in the Pacific region. With these remarks, Mark Kelly articulated concerns that many observers have been discussing for weeks. According to this assessment, the US military has significantly reduced key inventories in a short period of time due to the conflict with Iran, potentially affecting operational readiness—especially concerning possible future tensions involving China, which had already been identified as a strategic challenge to US global leadership under the administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. This is also likely to have consequences in light of current President Donald Trump's visit to China.

Volatus Aerospace: Positioned for Growth in the Expanding Drone Economy
The wars of this decade have permanently altered the military landscape. Thanks to superior, affordable, and efficient drone and missile technology, middle powers like Iran are standing up to superpowers such as the US. So is little Ukraine in Eastern Europe, which has now withstood attacks from its adversary Russia for more than four years and, thanks to drone defence and attacks, has not collapsed as expected. Armies like the Bundeswehr, NATO members, and even the giant US must rethink their strategies in light of these developments. Drones appear to be a cost-effective and efficient weapon capable of shaking even world powers. There is open doubt as to whether tanks or warships will even be needed in the future in the quantities seen today. Volatus Aerospace has positioned itself strongly in the future market of drone technology. As a Canadian company, it has practical access to all NATO partners and, of course, its own military. This is further strengthened by a strong position in the civilian drone market. With order books bulging at around CAD 600 million, the stock could now shift into high gear again after a long sideways phase.

New Opportunities in Gold Stocks: Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold
The war in the Persian Gulf appears to be entering its final phase. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US government wants to withdraw as quickly as possible and declare victory, leaving the rest to its own narrative management. This sentiment is also reflected in the gold price. Most recently, Deutsche Bank helped fuel momentum by issuing a price target of USD 8,000 for gold. Now, a key technical decision may be approaching. Gold has reached the resistance zone around USD 4,850, putting the April highs within reach. If a breakout succeeds, the path toward the USD 5,200 level would at least be technically open from a chart perspective. An end to the war could provide the right momentum here. The main beneficiaries of a higher gold price are gold stocks. We therefore take a closer look at the shares of Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold.

Geopolitical Winners: Kinross Gold, Standard Uranium, and Lynas Rare Earths
The conflict in the Persian Gulf has overshadowed many geopolitical issues, but it has also brought some problem areas to light. One thing is clear: the world is building new supply chains, especially the West. Lynas Rare Earths is in pole position in the rare earths market as the largest producer outside China. Standard Uranium, in turn, can benefit from the boom in energy demand and the shift by many countries back to nuclear energy. Not least, more and more countries and central banks are shunning the dollar. Who wants to be blackmailed by Washington? Accordingly, gold producers like Kinross Gold find themselves in a sweet spot, as the latest quarterly figures also show.

Alcoa, Strategic Resources, and Glencore: War and the Energy Transition Are Driving Business!
The energy transition and energy prices are arguably the most significant factors currently driving the stock market. The AI revolution and the trend toward sustainable energy production are forcing a reevaluation of the current approach. Added to this is the disruption of key production resources due to the war in the Persian Gulf. Whether it is oil, gas, aluminum, or fertilizers, the repercussions are likely to keep global trade occupied for quite some time. That is why it is worth taking a look at potential winners on the stock market. Alcoa, Strategic Resources, and Glencore could be among them.

Physical Shortage: Bank of America Turns Super-Bullish on the Silver Price!
Starting in early 2024, the silver price entered rally mode. Physical shortages and rapidly growing demand caused the price to surge sixfold at its peak. However, at the end of January and the end of February 2026, two severe setbacks halted the remarkable rally. First, there was a technical sell-off. A month later, with the start of the war in the Persian Gulf, the price dropped another notch. Meanwhile, the price has consolidated in the USD 70-80 per ounce range. The physical scarcity remains, as does the strong demand. Bank of America has now made headlines with a bullish report. Silver Viper would also stand to benefit from a renewed bull run. The Canadian company is aggressively advancing exploration at their La Virginia project in Mexico and reporting high silver grades!

Trash and the Hunger for Power: How Waste Management, Zefiro Methane, and NextEra Energy Are Doing Good - and Making Money
Whether it is abandoned or so-called "orphaned" gas wells, mountains of medical waste, or contaminated land, the United States is grappling with the byproducts of its own economic activity. Yet within this challenge lies a significant opportunity—and some companies are capitalizing on it. For example, Waste Management is expanding into medical waste disposal to unlock new growth verticals. Zefiro Methane focuses on locating and sealing abandoned oil and gas wells. This is not only good for the environment but also for the bottom line. NextEra Energy, meanwhile, is satisfying the AI industry's hunger for energy and storage—in a sustainable manner.

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.
