Discovering Superior Investments: "I consistently locate profitable stocks!"
Chatting with Stock Market Whizz Lars Winter
How's the 2024 stock market year treating you, Lars? Satisfied with the results?
You bet your bottom dollar, my stock market newsletter, the Lars Winter Report, has been a bloody success this year! Many of my picks have paid off handsomely in recent months. My personal portfolio, based on the recommendations in the newsletter, is up over 23 percent this year and has outperformed all stock market indices, particularly the Small- and Mid-Cap segments like SDAX and MDAX. I predominantly invest in small and mid-cap stocks, but I'll occasionally dip my toes into blue-chip DAX stocks. My portfolio is usually teeming with promising small and mid-cap stocks.
Even though German small and mid-cap stocks have underperformed many DAX stocks for over two years, you still focus on smaller titles. Why is that?
I reckon accessing crucial information is a hell of lot easier with German small and mid-cap stocks. Over decades, I've built up a cracking network in the local small-cap scene and know many analysts, fund managers, institutional investors, and even board members personally. I usually get a hold of decision-makers quickly, and some of their phone numbers are even in my contacts. I'm no stranger to the New Market; the hype around German small caps at the turn of the millennium has shaped me, and my investment strategy ever since. Even then, I noticed that small stocks offer far greater opportunities than standard stocks.
"I'm a stock picker. I can find a goldmine in any market phase."
So, what's your game plan when investing?
I'm a stock picker, and I pay less attention to sectors or business models. Instead, I focus on special opportunities, like impending large orders, insider trades, or changes in voting rights. Interesting charts, upcoming investor meetings, or takeover speculation can also signal a profitable entry. I can find a winner in any market phase, my friends!
And that's what you recommend in the Lars Winter Report?
Exactly! In the newsletter, I share promising stocks and maintain a real-money portfolio that my readers can follow to guide their investments. I see myself as an idea provider for stock market enthusiasts who don't have the time to hunt for profitable small caps themselves. I'm constantly immersed in the stock market, kept in touch with my network, and exchange information about exciting stock market stories. I read analyst studies, daily newspapers, and stock market literature, and chat with decision-makers regularly. I'm a treasure hunter who knows the waters well, and occasionally, I get good tips for exploring shallower depths. And it all pays off, as demonstrated by the portfolio.
Let's get down to brass tacks. Which stocks have been particularly profitable this year?
Take M1 Clinics, for instance. It's an operator of beauty clinics that delivered incredible results for my subscribers last year. When I bought the stock in December 2023, it was undervalued. M1 boasts a ton of growth potential. There were also takeover rumors all year that might still drive the stock up. Although it's already more than doubled since our purchase, I think it still has another 50 percent in it. My recommendations on Rheinmetall and Morphosys also yielded over 100 percent. Regrettably, I didn't add them to my portfolio. But I did score big with Varta—I recognized early on that the company was struggling and in financial trouble, so I took a short position with a certificate. That move brought me over 130 percent profit within five months.
