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.

Royalties & licensing: investors can win with ARM Holdings, RE Royalties and Franco-Nevada!
You can build business models with high margins without owning a single factory or site. On the capital markets, that's mainly companies that collect license fees or royalties. Companies provide capital and in return share in their partner's revenue. This has long been the case in the music industry, and likewise in mining, the chip industry, the cleantech sector and the pharmaceutical industry. For investors, such companies offer big advantages, since in most cases they carry little or no operating risk. Because the contracts often run for years or decades, the income they generate is also very stable. While mining and cleantech players tend to offer steady payouts, tech pioneers use the cash flow for massive growth. Today we therefore look at the shares of ARM Holdings, RE Royalties and Franco-Nevada!

Gold and Silver in Focus: Shares of Hecla Mining, Desert Gold, and Kinross Gold Offer Opportunities
Peace negotiations between the US and Iran have begun. The groundwork has been laid, and there is still plenty of time to reach a long-term agreement. Curiously, investors flocked to the US dollar during the hostilities—a currency that has actually been losing value for years. It remains something of a mystery to the stock markets why, of all things, the currency of a completely over-indebted country is supposed to be a safe haven. Many attribute this to developments in interest rate expectations. However, a strong dollar has weighed on the price of gold in recent months. The price has now stabilized above USD 4,000 per ounce. Goldman Sachs recently issued a market update and set a price target of USD 5,000 by year-end. While this is a few hundred dollars below the previous target, if the analysts' forecast proves accurate, gold stocks are likely to benefit significantly. That would represent a gain of about 20% over the current price. The situation is very similar in the silver market. There is a tight supply of physical silver, and the rising dollar has caused price pullbacks. We are therefore taking a look today at the stocks of three attractive companies in the precious metals sector: Hecla Mining, Desert Gold, and Kinross Gold.

Boom in the Gas Market: A Look at EQT, Zefiro Methane, and Kinder Morgan Stocks!
The gas business in North America is booming. On one hand, demand remains strong due to the expansion of AI data centers in the US. On the other hand, countries like Germany are also having to import gas from the United States as a result of the war in Ukraine. Supplies from Russia have been subject to sanctions. Last but not least, supply disruptions in the Middle East are driving high demand and rising prices—another consequence of the war. And despite the current negotiations, it is likely to be a while before production facilities and supply chains are back to operating at full capacity. That is why we are looking at the North American natural gas market today. EQT Corporation is the largest pure-play natural gas producer in the US, with vast reserves in the northeastern part of the country. We are also looking at Kinder Morgan, which controls the largest natural gas pipeline network in the US. Last but not least, it is worth taking a look at Zefiro Methane's shares, as the company handles cleanup operations for both smaller operators and major industry participants.

Silver, Rare Earths & Tungsten: How Aya Gold & Silver, Almonty Industries & Lynas Rare Earths Are Benefiting
It appears the war in the Persian Gulf is finally coming to an end. However, the damage—especially for the US—is immense: political, economic, and military. The country must replenish its arsenal. Countless missiles were fired, and fighter jets and helicopters were lost. As early as the beginning of May, US Senator Mark Kelly pointed out, following a Pentagon briefing, that stockpiles had been completely "bled dry" as a result of the war. Ammunition depots—particularly those for Tomahawk missiles, Patriot defence systems, and SM-3 interceptor missiles—were completely depleted. Now the US must rearm. Rebuilding these stockpiles will likely take years. In addition to the defence industry, scarce raw materials in particular are expected to benefit from this. Since many commodity stocks have pulled back in the wake of the conflict, opportunities are emerging for investors. We are therefore looking at the stocks of Aya Gold & Silver, Almonty Industries, and Lynas Rare Earths.

Electric Vehicle Sales Are Booming: Taking a Closer Look at Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium and BYD
The electric vehicle market is booming and may have received an additional boost from the conflict in the Persian Gulf. However, the global picture remains mixed. The strongest growth is taking place in the world's largest automotive market: China. There, the electrification rate has now surpassed the 50% threshold. More than one in two newly registered vehicles in the country is a plug-in. EV growth of 10-15% is forecast for this year. Germany, the world's third-largest automotive market, has also returned to a dynamic growth path following a weak 2024. Sales figures for 2025 stood at more than half a million electric vehicles. If plug-in hybrids are included, total sales exceed 800,000 units, representing an increase of over 40%. The United States, the world's second-largest automotive market, remains the exception, showing weaker development, largely due to political headwinds from Washington. The share of newly sold electric vehicles in the overall market there is estimated at just 7%-8%. Globally, however, battery-powered vehicles remain on the fast track to success, accounting for roughly 25% of the market. In addition, a new sales record was reached in 2025, with more than 20 million electric vehicles sold worldwide, up 20% year over year. This momentum is reason enough to take another look at attractive stocks in the sector. Today, we examine the shares of Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium, and BYD.

Lahontan Gold: Poised for a Revaluation This Year?
The gold market is currently overshadowed by the war in the Persian Gulf and SpaceX's IPO. Investors' focus has shifted. However, this presents opportunities for counter-cyclical investments. In the gold sector, valuations have fallen significantly in some cases. Yet the structural trends remain intact, as Citigroup recently noted in a detailed study. Accordingly, their commodities analysts confirmed their 6- to 12-month price target for gold at USD 5,000. The long-term upward trend is supported by structural changes such as ongoing de-dollarization, the shift in global supply chains and trade routes, and gold purchases by central banks worldwide. JPMorgan and Bank of America are even more bullish and see the price per ounce at USD 6,000 to USD 6,300 by year-end. Lahontan Gold is likely to benefit massively from these developments. The Canadians plan to begin construction of the historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada as early as next year. On the way there, the stock should see a revaluation.

Pan American Silver, Strategic Resources, and AngloGold Ashanti: Three Strong Commodity Stocks for Your Portfolio
In the current market environment, with commodity prices correcting, it is worth taking a look at stable, high-growth companies in the sector. Many valuations have also come down due to the war in the Persian Gulf and the debate over interest rate hikes. Nevertheless, most companies are earning handsomely. The first quarter saw record cash flows and profits. In addition, many companies have streamlined their balance sheets in recent years and now have a net cash position. These are the perfect conditions for these stocks to take off again in the next upturn. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Pan American Silver, Strategic Resources, and AngloGold Ashanti.

High Energy Prices: How Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar Stand to Benefit!
On Wednesday, the US inflation figures for May were released. At 4.2%, the reading came in exactly in line with market expectations, and the individual sector data were also broadly consistent with forecasts. Nevertheless, this initially triggered a sell-off in the stock market. It appears that some investors have only now realized that the conflict in the Gulf has driven up energy prices and, consequently, the prices of many other goods and services. Given the renewed US escalation in the Middle East, oil, gas, kerosene, and fertilizer prices appear set to remain at elevated levels for an extended period. For companies whose products become more competitive as energy prices rise, however, these conditions are favourable. That is why we are taking a closer look at the shares of Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar.

Wave of Biotech Acquisitions: Eli Lilly, Vidac Pharma, and GSK in the Spotlight
Cancer remains one of humanity's greatest scourges, and at the same time, it is by far the largest healthcare market of all. But the old-school pharmaceutical giants are running out of oncology pipeline candidates, and now smaller, far more innovative players are increasingly being acquired. The M&A market is currently experiencing extremely dynamic times. This week, for example, GSK announced the acquisition of Nuvalent for USD 10.6 billion in cash. Gilead Sciences, in turn, struck a deal in April with the German company Tubulis—for a total of USD 5 billion. Shortly thereafter, Eli Lilly offered up to USD 7 billion for Kelonia Therapeutics, just to name a few of this year's deals. That is why we are taking a look at the opportunities in the sector today and putting the stocks of Eli Lilly, Vidac Pharma, and GSK under the microscope!
