Very glad to be on eToro's podcast again, with some timely topics:
🛢 Oil: More is flowing via Hormuz again, stabilizing oil markets. Geopolitical risks remain, but the high prices of early 2026 might eventually turn out to be the exception.
💵 Inflation & the Fed: inflation in the 3-4% area forces central banks to be more hawkish again.
📉 Software: probably undervalued due to overblown AI-extinction fears.
📈 Markets: have probably run a little hot by now, and could correct in the second half of 2026. Rotation from AI to other sectors might be on the horizon.
Enjoy!
Thanks @maxwi_etoro and @eToroDE

Neuer Podcast🎧
Ingvar Rückemann, Pro Investor bei eToro, und Maximilian Wienke sprechen über den Ölpreis unter 80 US-Dollar, den restriktiveren Ton der Fed und warum die Micron-Zahlen zum wichtigen Test für die KI-Story werden könnten.
$RNG closed with +88% ✅
🚀Very strong contribution from this stock to the portfolio's numerous all-time-highs in 2026!
📅I first bought the stock in January 2025, then added a lot more during early 2026 - weighted average time invested was therefore less than 8 months!
🔄Efficient use of capital, which can now be redeployed to new opportunities.

🤩Fascinating topic:
$200B+ in IPOs are coming this year. Just 3 companies will get most of it.
🚀SpaceX: looking for $75B, might list as early as June.
🤖Anthropic might look for $60B, OpenAI for $40B - amounts are moving targets, but they will be massive!
❗️Those 3 companies alone would raise $175B, more than ever before in a year.
Truly massive moves underway, buckle up for an eventful IPO season!

📽 Glad to be featured again in "Börsenwelt Kompakt" with eToro's Max Wienke!
In this episode, among others:
• Strait of Hormuz:
👉Both sides try to build leverage by blockades on the seas
• What does @ing_ruc do during geopolitical crises:
👉 usually no major changes in the portfolio, strategy is designed to outperform over the long-term, markets tend to "forget" such crises quickly
• Market psychology:
👉 How to avoid wrong investment decisions during phases of market stress
Enjoy!

US-Aktien auf Rekordhoch, während die Straße von Hormuz angespannt bleibt und der Ölpreis steigt.
Wie passt das zusammen – und welche Fehler Anleger in volatilen Phasen vermeiden?
👉 Bottom line: Expect markets to reach some semblance of normality around August 2026 - roughly 4 months from now, and obviously dependent on the ceasefire holding.
#OIL#LNG#Hormuz
🛢 The Strait of Hormuz is open again! 🛢
What is the timeline for $OIL markets to stabilize?👇
1⃣ Immediate impact (next 1-2 weeks)
• Iran has agreed to coordinated safe passage for the ships stuck in the Gulf.
• The first cargoes of oil and LNG that were already on the water should start reaching Asia and Europe within days.
2⃣ The ramp-up timeline - how long until things feel “normal”?
This will take longer. Possibly something like this:
• Oil production restart: 2–4 weeks. Wells, separators, and processing plants need careful checks and pressure rebuilding before Gulf countries can restore the 10 million barrels per day they cut during the closure.
• LNG restart (Qatar’s Ras Laffan): 4-7 weeks for the undamaged parts. The pipes must be cleared of moisture before they can safely cool gas back to -160°C. Otherwise they risk equipment damage.
• Shipping and logistics: 1-3 months of delays. Many supertankers have rerouted to the Atlantic due to the blockade. They will complete their current journeys and only then pivot back to the Middle East.
• Refineries: A few weeks for routine restarts, but could be several months for plants that were emergency-shutdown.
Just the $SPX jumping +3.5% after "very good and productive conversations" between US and Iran over the weekend.
Maybe the first small steps towards a resolution?
Markets are certainly hoping so.
@PI_LuMarx@eToroDE Danke für das Feedback @PI_LuMarx !
Stimmt, gerade das Thema Gas wäre heute natürlich sehr aktuell gewesen!
Die gesamte Thematik wird uns sicher noch eine Weile beschäftigen, kann man dann vielleicht in einer weiteren Folge mit aufnehmen :)
🛢🛢 A timely conversation with @etoro's @maxwi_etoro about $OIL and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
❗This is by now the most important topic for global markets, and it is steadily evolving: Even in the 24h since we recorded this podcast, the situation has escalated further.
Iranian gas fields were attacked, and in response Qatar's gas fields came under missile fire, sending $NATGAS prices in Europe up some +20% today.
Clearly lots of moving parts. I hope that Max and I can help create some context with this video.
👇 Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:
• Currently around 7-8% of global crude oil supply missing
• 100$ oil = +0.5% US inflation is a realistic scenario
• 120$/130$ oil = recession risk increases significantly
• Oil products (e.g. diesel, jet fuel), also impacted since refineries in the Gulf can't export or produce
• IEA emergency release of 400 million barrels important and feasible (8 billion global reserves)
• But: Opening of Hormuz is really the only tenable way to solve the crisis
• Increasing pressure on warring parties to find a solution
🤔Should one buy oil companies now?
• Not my opinion, I decided to sell my last remaining oil stocks ( $HBR) when oil was around 100$ per barrel
• Long-term, I believe oil prices will rather trend downwards relative to current levels
• Market broadly agrees, with oil prices for delivery in late 2026 at less than 90$ and less than 80$ for 2027 (vs current spot prices of 110$)

Die Situation in der Straße von Hormuz hat die Ölpreise auf über 100 USD getrieben und setzt einige Sektoren unter Druck.
Wie reagiert der Markt auf diese Unsicherheiten?
@low_IQ_trader For sure. Selloff might be over, stock has been stabilizing recently.
Chances are that fundamentals take over again and drive the stock higher to where it should realistically trade!
$DBX: The Buyback Machine🤑
👉With >$900M free cash flow p.a. and a beaten-down share price the company could theoretically buy back 14% of all outstanding shares in 1 year.
Even if revenues stagnate, the cash-generation is exceptional!
FCF per share has been increasing for years, now stands at $3.4 vs a share price of $24.
🌟The buyback machine works in favor of shareholders.
#DBX #Buybacks #FreeCashFlow
$PYPL: IF Stripe really wants to buy it, they'll have to pay up.💵
PayPal:
👉One of the world's best-known brands
👉Churns out $5-6B cash flow every year.
Hard to imagine that the board OR current shareholders would sell it for just $43B.
#PayPal#Stripe#StocksInFocus
$RNG: Cash Machine + Growth.
💰$530M free cash flow in FY25, forecast to grow +11% in FY26.
📈Stock is higher after earnings.
👉Probably much more upside ahead. For that kind of growth, the stock is still dirt cheap around $2.7B Market Cap (fully diluted).
#RNG#ValueInvesting #CashFlow
$YELP: Must be one of the most undervalued companies right now.
📊Market Cap $1.3B. NO debt, but $0.3B cash instead.
💵Oh, and it reported >$300M free cash flow for FY25.
🔥FCF-yield explodes, and you currently buy the whole company
👉at basically same price as during the Covid crash
👉but with double the revenues and cash flow.
