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.

Gold: Positioning for the Fed with Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver
The Federal Reserve's leadership will meet again on September 16, and the outlook remains highly uncertain. Some market analysts expect interest rate hikes. Conversely, however, some anticipate an interest rate cut—their argument: the US midterm elections are coming up in November. Donald J. Trump wants lower interest rates. He has already made this clear to the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, in a post on Truth Social. Our view is straightforward: low interest rates are bullish for the stock market. The past 18 months have shown that the President places considerable importance on supporting financial markets. The decision is likely to be a close one, however, and keeping rates unchanged should not be ruled out, especially since the Fed could still act at its October meeting. Either way, we expect interest rates to fall. By then at the latest, the price of gold should start to recover. For weeks, the precious metal has traded in a narrow range around USD 4,000 per ounce. Positive signals from the Fed could provide the catalyst for a breakout. For investors, however, gold mining stocks often offer greater upside than the metal itself. That is why we are taking a closer look at Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver.

Gold, Tungsten, and Silver: Upside Potential in First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle
The war in the Gulf and the strong US dollar continue to cause volatility in the commodities market. While copper has managed to decouple from these trends due to tight supply in global markets, the situation is different for gold and silver prices. However, stabilization may now be on the horizon. The specialty metal tungsten, on the other hand, tracks copper and is showing stability at high price levels. This presents opportunities for investors to build long-term positions in the market. We are therefore looking at the stocks of First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle.

The Perfect Storm: Wars Are Driving Energy Stocks Like Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar
The war in the Persian Gulf is escalating again. There appears to be no chance of a peaceful resolution between the warring parties at this time. Meanwhile, refineries in Russia are burning, which is also jeopardizing diesel supply in Germany. Prices for oil, gas, and other energy commodities are rising again. The markets have reacted swiftly, driving up shares in the energy sector. One thing is clear: a precarious situation is unfolding, especially as oil reserves are dwindling even in the US, despite record-high production there. However, the high prices also encourage us to look beyond the oil market. The comeback of nuclear energy and the continued rise of solar power offer opportunities. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar.

Gold Stocks: Opportunities with B2Gold, Desert Gold, and Newmont
The price of gold has corrected significantly from its high and is trading just above the USD 4,000 mark. Despite this, the major gold miners continue to make good money. Across industry, production costs for most companies are below USD 2,000. In some cases, such as with very high-grade deposits or favourable production conditions, as in Africa, they are even well below USD 1,500 per ounce. For investors, the current situation presents opportunities in gold stocks following the significant correction. We are therefore taking a closer look at the stocks of B2Gold, Desert Gold, and Newmont.

Technical Analysis in Focus: Opportunities at Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta?
Summer is typically a quiet time on the stock markets. Even though quarterly earnings are released in many sectors starting in July, too many investors are already on their summer break. But this year, the markets are proving to be extremely volatile. Across many sectors, including semiconductors, hyperscalers, auto stocks, and sports companies, we are seeing sharp daily swings in either direction. On top of that, the war is returning not only to the Persian Gulf but also to the trading floor. This high volatility calls for technical analysis. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta.

Three Stocks for a Strategic Portfolio? Samsung, Rock Tech Lithium, and SpaceX
This week saw a significant warning sign on global stock markets. In the Persian Gulf, the warring parties are once again exchanging fire. The price of oil rose, temporarily halting its downward trend. Meanwhile, some surprising developments are also unfolding in South Korea. The Kospi, the country's leading index, which is heavily weighted toward semiconductor stocks, is showing enormous volatility. Trading halts are occurring almost daily because share prices are moving too sharply up or down. And on Wall Street, volatility in the chip sector has recently increased, too. Share prices have seen significant profit-taking. Meanwhile, the space exploration stock SpaceX is becoming Wall Street's darling. Today, we take a look at the stocks of Samsung Electronics, Rock Tech Lithium, and SpaceX.

Commodity Stocks in Focus: Kinross Gold, Strategic Resources, and Barrick Mining
Interest-rate expectations in the United States have fallen sharply. By now, the markets are only pricing in a single rate hike. And even that one looks at risk in light of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments on inflation. Few or no further rate hikes this year are poison for the dollar. A weaker greenback, however, usually drives the commodity markets. Accordingly, gold, silver and other metals should benefit from this constellation. In any case, gold has already managed its first rebound off the low. That is why we are looking at the shares of Kinross Gold, Strategic Resources and Barrick Mining today.

Interest Rate Turning Point Ahead? SAP, Zefiro Methane, and Harmony Gold Could Benefit
Things changed remarkably quickly. Even as fighting continued in the Persian Gulf, market commentators were competing to forecast how many times the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates this year. As a result, gold prices and many tech stocks came under pressure, while the US dollar strengthened. Last week, however, sentiment shifted dramatically. Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve Chair appointed by President Donald Trump, triggered the turnaround with clear comments. Accordingly, inflation remains too high. Gold and many tech stocks subsequently rallied. Since Friday, the market has been pricing in just one additional interest rate increase this year, according to Fed funds futures. With President Trump continuing to advocate lower interest rates, the second half of the year could instead see policy easing—the exact opposite of what markets had regarded as a near certainty only a short time ago. For investors, this changing interest-rate outlook could signal an increase in equity exposure. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at SAP, Zefiro Methane, and Harmony Gold Mining Company.

Lahontan Gold: Just Weeks Away from a New Resource Update
Gold appears to have found its footing. After Kevin Warsh, the new head of the Federal Reserve, signaled that he no longer sees inflationary pressure, the precious metal briefly pulled back near the USD 4,000 level before rebounding strongly. Evidently, the market may have been on the wrong side of the interest rate narrative. Earlier this week, two additional rate hikes were still being priced in for this year. For investors, the rebound in gold and the Fed's revised tone could herald the start of a new cycle. That is reason enough to take another look at attractive gold stocks. Lahontan Gold is one of those hidden gems that still trades at a low valuation but is already well into its de-risking process. The company plans to release a new resource estimate in the coming weeks. CEO Kimberly Ann has also reaffirmed the goal of moving into production as early as 2027.

Stocks in Focus: 2G Energy, A.H.T Syngas Technology, and Linde
The markets are extremely volatile. Even though oil prices have fallen significantly recently, other sectors are now causing concern. Bank of America recently issued a warning to its clients. According to the Wall Street bank's strategists, the time has come to both take profits and build hedges for the portfolio. The bank was referring explicitly to the technology sector and warned of a weak third quarter. Among its arguments, the bank cited the high valuations of many companies. Second, it noted that stock purchases on credit in the US are a significant problem. This metric now stands at 4% of gross domestic product, an all-time high. Indeed, this warning immediately increased volatility in the stock markets. These are difficult times for investors to make strategic investments. It is therefore worthwhile to focus on strong, high-quality stocks that can deliver long-term performance. We are therefore looking at the stocks of 2G Energy, A.H.T. Syngas Technology, and Linde.
