About me
Two decades in small caps
I analyse international small and micro caps for the German-speaking market — and find them before the market does.
My craft is research in a segment most houses do not cover: young companies with a small market capitalisation, often on OTCBB, TSX-V or ASX, long before a bank puts them on its screen.
What counts here is not a flash of insight but the work before it: my own due diligence, conversations with management, and a network of market professionals built over twenty years. That is exactly what I let my readers share in.
Early
Companies at an early stage, long before a bank puts them on its screen.
My own due diligence
The numbers, the projects and a conversation with management — every call is checked in person.
A network built over time
Twenty years of contacts among international market professionals, shared with my readers.
What I do not promise
Guarantees. Small caps are the riskiest segment of the market, and nobody can promise future prices — myself included.
That does not make any of it arbitrary. The difference between speculation and research is precisely what I am paid for.
What you get
A transparent set of criteria I use to assess companies — so that you can apply it yourself. Access to a network that would otherwise stay closed to you. And entry signals at a point when they are still worth something. My aim is not for you to follow me, but for you to be able to decide for yourself.
More than single stocks
In the end you should not need me
A recommendation helps you once. Understanding why it was one helps you always. That is why my publications and channels explain, step by step, how markets and valuation actually work.
Alongside that come conversations with CEOs, industry insiders and analysts — not as advertising, but to show what really matters in these markets.
