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.

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.

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.

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.

Is Agnico Eagle sparking a wave of takeovers? K92 Mining and DRC Gold in the spotlight!
Agnico Eagle has acquired three projects in Finland and is establishing a second hub there alongside its operations in Québec. The world's second-largest gold producer is making headlines primarily with its CAD 2.9 billion acquisition of Rupert Resources. The Canadians aim to challenge Newmont with this move. K92 Mining could become the next target of a takeover wave due to its success in Papua New Guinea, as the company is performing exceptionally well operationally. DRC Gold in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meanwhile, could emerge as a potential acquisition target in Africa. The company is already on track to develop two gold mines simultaneously.

Boom After the War: BYD, RE Royalties, and SMA Solar in Focus!
Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would trigger a boom in renewable energy and alternative mobility concepts? As a result of the conflict he initiated in the Persian Gulf and the rising prices for fossil fuels, not only are electric vehicle and heat pump sales increasing, but a broader shift in mindset is also becoming evident in many countries. Interest in solar and wind energy is rising significantly. After all, who wants to remain permanently dependent? But which companies stand to benefit from this development? We take a look at the stocks of BYD, RE Royalties, and SMA Solar.

Lahontan Gold: On the Way to Nevada's Next Gold Mine
The US state of Nevada is one of the world's largest gold producers. It is home to several world-class gold mines, with Newmont and Barrick Mining dominating the scene through the Nevada Gold Mines complex. Lahontan Gold is on track to build the next mine in the famous Walker-Lane trend. The Canadians are aiming for an annual production of up to 80,000 ounces of gold. Given the company's low valuation, this presents an entry opportunity for investors with a medium- to long-term focus.

Costs, Costs, Costs: Can High Oil Prices Benefit dynaCERT?
Elevated energy prices resulting from the US war of aggression in the Persian Gulf are driving up transportation costs across many industries. Logistics providers in particular are exposed to rising diesel prices. If the conflict drags on much longer, shortages could soon arise in Europe as well. In this environment, dynaCERT's technology can quickly provide relief for logistics providers by reducing fuel consumption and operating costs—an angle that is still under the radar of many investors. But persistently high energy prices are likely to soon shift the focus to this innovative tech company.
