Depot review January 2024 - January continues to ignite the tea turbo 🚀


All good things come in threes. November was the second-best November since I started investing. December was also the second-best December. And what follows in January? The second-best January for me since August 2013, of course.

January saw a performance of +6,1%. Only January 2015 was even better with +6.7%.


Compared to my benchmark (MSCI World), this was an extremely good start to 2024. The MSCI World "only" gained 3% in January.


On the winning side were once again the usual suspects in January. The strongest position was once again NVIDIA $NVDA
with a gain of over €3,000.

The following positions were also occupied by the usual suspects with Palo Alto Networks $PANW ASML $ASML Microsoft $MSFT and Crowdstrike $CRWD


On the losers' side, there is also little new: In addition to Encavis $ECV and Block $SQ the main loser here is of course China with my China ETF $MCHS

However, the China ETF only accounts for ~2% of my portfolio in total. That's why I'm continuing to look at it for the time being. However, I have not made any additional purchases via a savings plan since January. For me, this is a classic hold position at the moment.


In January, I invested a total of ~1.300€ in total. As already mentioned in my 2023 portfolio statement, I will have to reduce my investments in 2024 for the time being, at least in the first half of the year. The reason for this is some private expenses.

As I also had to use some of my cash reserves for this, I only added ~€500 net to my assets.

Focusing purely on this key figure, January was one of the worst months in years - but monthly investments should pick up again in the second half of 2024 at the latest.


Purchases & sales:

  • As mentioned, I bought in January for ~1.300€
  • As always, my savings plans were executed:
  • Blue ChipsNovo Nordisk $NOVO B LVMH $MC Apple $AAPL Home Depot $HD Microsoft $MSFT Nike $NKE Starbucks $SBUX Texas Instruments $TXN Stryker $SYK
  • GrowthCrowdstrike $CRWD MercadoLibre $MELI
  • ETFsMSCI World $XDWD Nikkei 225 $XDJP and the WisdomTree Global Quality Dividend Growth $GGRP
  • CryptoBitcoin $BTC and Ethereum $ETH
  • Sales there were none in January



In total, my portfolio now stands at ~268.000€. This corresponds to an absolute increase of ~€16,000 in January. ~15.000€ of this comes from price gains, ~140€ from dividends / interest and ~500€ from additional investments.

In absolute figures, January was the best month ever with the above-mentioned ~€15,000 price gains. I normally have to go to work for ~4 months to earn this money!


Dividend:

  • The dividends in January were +37% above the previous year at ~€115
  • Nike had a very unfavorable dividend policy last year and this year. The fourth dividend payment unfortunately only came in January. As a result, Nike paid out 3x in 2023 and will pay out 5x this year. In order to achieve better comparability, I recorded the dividend in December in Portfolio Performance as usual. If I had recorded the dividend in January, the growth would even be +50%
  • The announcement of a dividend at Meta is also exciting $META
  • The big tech companies are generating endless cash flows, so it is only a matter of time before this money has to flow to shareholders. That leaves only Amazon $AMZN and Alphabet $GOOG as Microsoft and Apple have been paying dividends for a long time now
  • I am curious to see whether these two companies will soon follow the Meta example and become dividend payers


With the continued very positive outlook for Big Tech, I am optimistic that the target for this year (€300,000 by the end of 2024) should definitely be achievable. Even if I have to significantly reduce my investments compared to the last few years.


What are your favorites for this year?

After 2023 clearly belonged to NVIDIA, Meta, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, I wonder who the big winners will be in 2024?

If you look at January, these stocks are once again at the top.


In my view, however, this cannot continue for the whole year and there will certainly be other winners.


Where do you see exciting long-term opportunities for the rest of the year?

Very nice. I really like the portfolio. It's difficult to say who will win the stock market race in 2024. But I thought Amazon's figures yesterday, for example, were very good. Perhaps many investors will focus more on this company again in the current year 🤔🔮.

Why people go to the trouble of trading individual stocks is beyond me. In the long term, no one beats the index or the computer. My ETF $XDEQ has made the same 6%.

For me, the fun comes from the fact that at the end of the month I decide how to distribute my savings installment of €3-5000 across my Welt AG in ETF format and that's just great. I can freely decide which region I want to invest in and when and how, and that's just GREAT!!!!

Especially as I do this together with my cousin. We push each other and each of us invested €60,000 in January and our goal is to have €100,000 in our portfolio by the end of the year! We can do that too !!!
Why the Sartorius Vz share? You get more for your money with ordinary shares
