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 Stocks with More Upside? Kinross Gold, Globex Mining and Barrick Mining in Focus!
Interest rates up or down? At the moment, the market is not quite sure what to make of the situation. In July, following very weak labor market data, hopes of falling or at least stable interest rates in the dollar zone drove commodity prices higher. Gold gained 10% in a very short period of time. Just a few days ago, however, US labor-market data surprised to the upside, reigniting concerns about higher interest rates. Analysts, too, have plenty of opinions on the matter – but they do not have a crystal ball either. Long-term investors should not let this short-term stock market noise unsettle them. Structurally, everything points to rising commodity prices, and gold is likely to remain in focus. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the stocks of Kinross Gold, Globex Mining, and Barrick Mining.

Three Stocks for a Speculative Portfolio: SanDisk, MustGrow Biologics and Super Micro Computer
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
Conservative investors tend to favour cash-generative stocks and dividend payers. However, every portfolio should also have a little spice. After all, blue-chip stocks do not always deliver outperformance, although they often provide greater stability. These additional returns can come from both small and large companies. At present, concerns about higher interest rates are weighing on many of the high-flyers of recent months and years. Some stocks have suffered significant pullbacks, even though their outlook remains bright. Today, we therefore take a look at three more speculative but high-growth stocks: SanDisk, MustGrow Biologics and Super Micro Computer.

Copper at an All-Time High — and No End in Sight: Lundin Mining, Power Metallic Mines and Ivanhoe Mines Stand to Benefit!
Copper is the top performer this year amongst all exchange-traded metals and is trading at an all-time high. Strong demand is cited as the reason: global growth, AI data centres and the modernization of electricity grids in established industrialized nations. Yet the supply side is quickly forgotten, and it is the bottleneck. When copper was still cheap in the 2010s, there was hardly any investment. Over the years, fewer and fewer deposits have been discovered, and the pipeline of development projects is small. But the structural problems go even further. Many large mines are old, and their ore grades are declining. When, as in September 2025, a disaster such as the one at the Grasberg mine occurs, supply is thrown into disarray. Copper companies are benefiting from this more than ever. Companies that own producing mines today feel as though they are in a commodities paradise. But even those planning to start production in the coming years are likely to be among the winners. We are therefore taking a look today at the shares of Lundin Mining, Power Metallic Mines and Ivanhoe Mines.

Gold in Higher Demand Than Ever: Investors Turn to Aya Gold & Silver, Lahontan Gold and Perseus Mining
Gold has delivered a strong performance in recent weeks, and the correction now appears to be over. Many investors took profits in the spring after the US dollar strengthened amid the war in the Persian Gulf. This was arguably irrational, as the problems that had driven a steady flight into gold had not been resolved. Instead, capital markets are now facing the same mountain of challenges. US Treasury yields are rising as markets are becoming less willing to finance the country at such low rates. Meanwhile, US government debt has surpassed the USD 40 trillion mark. Within five years, America's debt burden has therefore increased by almost one-third. These bonds will likely never be repaid, but will instead be eroded by inflation. And that is what makes gold so strong: the now higher price is also driving up the valuations of gold shares. Every ounce that comes out of the ground is, quite literally, worth its weight in gold. We are therefore looking at the shares of Aya Gold & Silver, Lahontan Gold and Perseus Mining.

Above the Clouds: Ryanair, Volatus Aerospace and Air France-KLM in Focus
Freedom is not always limitless above the clouds. High jet fuel prices are putting pressure on airlines' businesses, while rising ticket prices have made summer vacations in 2026 significantly more expensive. This is especially true in Europe, where jet fuel capacity remains limited. Nevertheless, the market is currently showing signs of easing. Since the outbreak of the war, many airline stocks have recovered. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at the shares of low-cost carrier Ryanair and the premium carrier Air France-KLM. For investors who would rather avoid the poor predictability of airline stocks, there is still an opportunity to look to the skies by considering shares of Volatus Aerospace.

Markets on the Move: PayPal, HPQ Silicon and Salesforce in Focus
The summer break is officially coming to an end. Particularly in North America, investors typically return to their desks around September 1, after Labour Day. But this year, plenty has been happening in the stock markets even during the summer months—there has been little sign of a lull. Following Nvidia's phenomenal second-quarter results, innovative sectors now appear to be shifting into higher gear. And the market is not expecting much turbulence on the interest rate front either. Despite rising inflation, the Federal Reserve appears unlikely to take action ahead of the midterm elections in November. At least, that is what the markets are largely pricing in at present. That makes it worthwhile for investors to take a closer look. Today, we do just that with PayPal, HPQ Silicon and Salesforce.

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.
